Forrest Frank: 30,000 subscribers lost after his testimony on Jesus Christ following the assassination of Charlie Kirk
The artist of contemporary Christian music Forrest Frank recently was talked about by losing more than 30,000 subscribers on Instagram after having published a video reacting to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, a Christian activist known in the United States. The event took place on September 13, 2025, a few days after the tragic death of Kirk on September 10, 2025 during an event at Utah Valley University.
In his video, Forrest Frank is firm and authentic by proclaiming publicly: “I do not want you to follow me if you do not do that one thing: to follow Jesus Christ”. For him, notoriety or popularity does not matter to the central mission of his faith. Moved and direct, he encourages his subscribers to repent and turn to Christ, indicating that “Jesus Christ is Lord” and claiming that his goal is now exclusively to announce this essential message.
The reactions have been immediate and massive: its message, although a source of significant loss of subscribers, also sparked more than 1.8 million likes and 60,600 comments in less than 24 hours, testifying to the impact of gesture in the evangelical and musical environment. Several major Christian artists such as Michael W. Smith, Cece Winans and Tauren Wells relayed their support or condolences to the family of Charlie Kirk, whose death has marked a large part of the Christian and Evangelical Community. A feeling of gravity and emergency now accompanies the videos of Forrest Frank, which expresses the “weight” felt through events and calls for preparing the return of Christ by repentance and commitment.
Charlie Kirk, co-founder of Turning Point USA, was a central figure of the American evangelical and conservative movement, hailed for his influence on youth and for having highlighted the renewal of Christian music, notably embodied by Forrest Frank. Following Frank’s tragedy and reactions, the main message that emerges is that of a fully assumed faith: for the artist, following Jesus Christ remains the only thing truly worthy of interest, regardless of his reputation or the number of his subscribers.
