Forest Frank Reacts to Losing Followers Over Charlie Kirk Post
Christian music artist Forest Frank recently announced that he lost about 30,000 followers after posting a video featuring the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk. He expressed this on Instagram, stating, “I was assassinated last week.” In his post, he remarked, “I shared about Charlie Kirk and 30,000 people decided not to follow me. Jesus Christ is Lord.”
Frank’s sentiment was clear: “Good. If you can’t stand behind my views, I don’t want you to follow me. I don’t want you keeping track of my music or coming to my shows.” He went on to declare that if his message didn’t resonate with viewers, they should feel free to unfollow.
He further stressed the relevance of repentance as he believes Jesus Christ’s return is imminent. “He was back to the real thing quickly,” Frank mentioned, urging listeners to genuinely turn to Jesus. “Today’s the day. Time is running out,” he added.
Frank conveyed a feeling of urgency, saying, “I don’t know if you’ve felt it too, but there’s this weight. I just want you to know that Jesus Christ is here and He loves you.”
Notably, Kirk co-founded Turning Point USA and tragically passed away after a shooting while speaking at Utah Valley University, where he addressed over 3,000 people. The arrest of the suspect, Tyler James Robinson, followed approximately 30 hours later.
In light of Kirk’s death, Frank shared snippets of the activist praising him for effectively reaching young audiences. Frank noted a “suspicious surge” in interest from Christians in response to Kirk’s remarks in the video.
“Forest Frank is gaining popularity,” Kirk had said, commenting on Frank’s lyrics and his biblical depth. “There’s something powerful happening. It’s an incredible revival,” Kirk suggested.
With emotion in his voice, Frank reflected on the weight of the situation, expressing concern for his community. “I think it might be unsettling as we anticipate Jesus’ return,” he said, recognizing Kirk’s bold advocacy. “I’m not used to this platform; it feels different.”
As he concluded, Frank reiterated the importance of repentance and making right choices in a world full of uncertainties: “We have to live as if today could be our last.”
In a follow-up video, Frank shared how he regretted allowing his platform to become a showcase for superficiality. “I have this message to share,” he explained, vowing to focus entirely on what truly matters from here on out. “Let’s keep heaven crowded,” he added, emphasizing inclusivity in his outreach efforts.
