SHARE
Rising Christian artist Forrest Frank is making headlines once again—this time, not for a new single or chart-topping performance, but for a personal decision grounded in faith and conviction. The “God Is Good” singer recently revealed that he will no longer participate in awards shows, including the Dove Awards and the Grammys, saying he feels led to “take a stance of non-participation.”

He reflected on how his perspective has evolved since that night, emphasizing that his work has always been for the glory of God rather than human recognition. “I don’t know if I even want to step on the stage; I don’t even know if I want to step in the room,” he said. “I hope to be an example to the youth that the trophy is our salvation—the trophy is that my name is written in the Book of Life, and I get to have eternal life.”
For Frank, this decision marks a defining moment in his journey as an artist of faith. He described his conviction as a call to shift focus from the glitter of accolades to the eternal value of serving Jesus Christ. “What good is a piece of metal going to do compared to that?” he added, referring to award trophies. His words resonated deeply with fans across social media, sparking conversations about humility, purpose, and the true measure of success in the music industry.
The announcement comes amid exciting new plans for Frank and fellow worship leader Cory Asbury, who are teaming up for an innovative project—a family-friendly alternative halftime show for next year’s Super Bowl. The idea took shape after news surfaced that the official halftime performer would be Bad Bunny, a rapper known for explicit lyrics. Asbury shared the vision online, asking, “What if we did an alternative, family-friendly halftime show for the Super Bowl?”

The proposal quickly gained traction, with Christian artists such as Jordan Feliz, CAIN, Phil Wickham, and Josiah Queen expressing interest in joining the event. Media outlets including The 700 Club and Great American Media have also shown support, recognizing the initiative as a positive, faith-centered alternative to mainstream entertainment.
Forrest Frank’s decision to turn away from the spotlight of award shows and toward projects that reflect his beliefs underscores a deeper message about authenticity and conviction. In an industry often driven by fame and competition, his stance serves as a reminder that success can take many forms—and that, for him, faith is the ultimate reward.

As Frank continues to inspire millions through his music and message, his latest move redefines what it means to be an artist led by purpose. His journey reminds audiences everywhere that, in the end, it’s not the trophies or titles that matter most, but the legacy of faith and devotion one leaves behind.
