“Who’s saying, ‘Send me, Jesus?'” Contemporary Christian artist Forrest Frank asked the packed crowd at Nashville’s GEODIS Park on Friday (June 19), as he led his headlining The Jesus Generation Tour. From the opening moments, Frank blended his upbeat tracks like “Your Way’s Better” and “Celebration” with traditional worship songs and an overall message focused on encouragement and faith.
Frank first rose to wider recognition as one half of the pop duo Surfaces before establishing himself as a leading figure in contemporary Christian music, where he blends pop, hip-hop, and a strong social media driven approach to connecting with fans. That combination has helped him build a strong following among younger audiences. His 2024 album Child of God spent multiple weeks at No. 1 on the Top Christian Albums chart and entered the Billboard 200, while his 2025 release Child of God II debuted at No. 1 on Top Christian Albums and reached No. 12 on the Billboard 200.
His Nashville performance opened with the tour’s title track, “The Jesus Generation,” before moving through songs such as “Amen,” “Good Day,” and “Up!” The audience, made up largely of families, youth groups, and young fans, joined in singing and dancing throughout the night. Many also wore illuminated wristbands that changed colour during the show.
In 2025, Frank sold out Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena during his Child of God Tour Part 2, and this year he stepped up to GEODIS Park, drawing around 25,000 attendees to the outdoor stadium. With support from Tori Kelly and The Figs, Frank delivered a near two hour set that further established him as one of the most prominent voices in modern CCM, especially as the genre continues to grow in popularity.
For most of the concert, Frank kept the focus on the music, moving fluidly between hits. He also performed “Jesus Is Alive!”, which recently became his second No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart, reaching the top in just two weeks and marking his 10th top 10 entry on that chart. During earlier touring cycles, he often featured audio of his pastor grandfather, and at GEODIS Park he also paid tribute to both his grandfather and grandmother, who had recently passed away.
“Our grandma was a prayer warrior, and I have this memory of growing up in the same neighborhood as them and getting dropped off like once a month or something,” Frank told the audience. “My grandmother would be putting her hand over my head and she’d be praying in this language that I didn’t understand. Now that I’m older and a little more mature, I understand she was speaking in a heavenly language and she spoke that language over me every day of my life … there are a lot of reasons I shouldn’t be here today and a lot of reasons you shouldn’t be here today, but here we are. Could it be that we are here today because somebody prayed for us?” He then performed the unreleased track “Somebody Prayed.”
Later in the show, Frank walked through the crowd, greeting fans as he made his way to a secondary stage with a piano, giving those farther back a closer experience. There he performed “No Longer Bound” and “Thankful,” before returning to the main stage. At one point, he also opened his laptop onstage to show fans how he builds songs, offering a behind the scenes look at his creative process.
During “Your Way’s Better” (which previously entered the Billboard Hot 100), the audience sang most of the track back to him a cappella, with Frank briefly joining in as fans performed the viral dance associated with the song.
Although the setlist focused heavily on his catalogue of hits, Frank’s goal was clearly centred on creating a worship atmosphere. The stage design resembled a grassy hillside with a large illuminated cross at its centre, and he mixed contemporary worship songs with his own pop and hip-hop influenced material, including “Lord You Are Good,” which transitioned into “Celebration.” He also brought a fan onstage to perform Caleb Gordon’s verse on “God Is Good.”
Midway through the show, Frank led the crowd through several well known worship songs and hymns, including “Heart of Worship,” “Nothing But the Blood of Jesus,” and “Goodness of God.” At one point, he knelt at the base of the cross onstage while singing, with the audience joining in to turn the moment into a collective worship experience.
The night concluded with appearances from The Figs’ Bailey and Micah, before Frank reappeared in the upper seating area surrounded by fans. With wristbands glowing across the venue, he joined The Figs to perform “Lemonade,” and closed the night with “Never Get Used to This.”
From start to finish, Frank kept the multi generational audience engaged, delivering a performance that blended concert energy with worship atmosphere, reinforcing his growing reputation for creating immersive, family friendly live experiences.
