This summer, Forrest Frank upgraded his live status from arenas to stadiums as he sold out massive venues across the country on “The Jesus Generation Tour.” Making stops nationwide, Frank thrilled audiences with career-defining anthems such as “Good Day,” “Lift My Hands” and “Your Way’s Better” across an energetic headlining set that found him performing in-the-round on numerous dates, allowing for better sightlines and higher attendance. The 29-city trek kicked off June 1, 2026, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and concluded Aug. 1 in Arlington, Texas. Pop songstress Tori Kelly, worship leader Cory Asbury and indie folk-rock duo The Figs provided multi-genre support across the summertime stretch, while tour pastor Jonathan Pokluda delivered the Gospel nightly. Entertaining record-breaking crowds, “The Jesus Generation Tour” became one of the largest tours in Christian music history. Anyone who was fortunate enough to catch a show on the hitmaker’s epic 2026 run can attest it was a bucket-list concert for many, full of countless memories. Here are seven of the best moments from Frank’s “Jesus Generation Tour.”
When a storm almost canceled the Bristow, Virginia, show
A ferocious thunderstorm, bringing torrential rain, fierce lightning and 40-mile-per-hour winds, forced more than 20,000 people to shelter in place at the Bristow, Virginia, stop of Forrest Frank’s “Jesus Generation Tour” on June 12. During the unexpected evacuation, thousands of drenched concertgoers, clad in rain jackets and ponchos, organically began singing worship songs a cappella as they waited out the weather delay. Eventually, the storm lifted, and a rainbow emerged over the venue. Once again, gates opened, and the show was able to move forward as planned.
When Sadie Robertson Huff shared the Gospel at Geodis Park in Nashville
Speaker, author and podcaster Sadie Robertson Huff delivered a powerful word to a sold-out audience at Nashville’s Geodis Park on June 19. With a crowd that included numerous Christian and country artists — and their kids — Huff encouraged Music City attendees with a message of hope, inviting first-time believers into a life-changing relationship with Jesus and long-time Christians into a deeper walk of faith. Following the show, Huff remarked, “Wow, what a joy to be living in the days of a Jesus Generation! The joy of the Lord, the freedom in Christ, the purity of childlike faith — it was alive and well tonight in Nashville.”
When Chris Tomlin popped up to sing “Holy Forever” with Tori Kelly in Louisville
Chris Tomlin made a surprise appearance at the Louisville, Kentucky, show. The legendary singer-songwriter joined opener Tori Kelly for a rendition of his chart-topping anthem, “Holy Forever,” on July 28. Afterwards, Kelly gushed about the performance, saying, “[I’ve] been so impacted by the songs that Chris Tomlin has written, and it was an honor to sing this one with the man himself.” No stranger to writing songs about her faith, Kelly herself released her fifth studio project, “God Must Really Love Me,” June 12.
When multiple generations came to Jesus by the thousands in one night
At every tour stop, Forrest Frank made sure a very clear Gospel invitation was presented. Most nights, tour pastor Jonathan Pokluda — a church leader, author and podcaster based in Frank’s hometown of Waco, Texas — delivered the pivotal message. On July 11, in Portland, Oregon, Pokluda reported that upwards of 4,000 to 5,000 people responded to that evening’s message, placing their faith in Jesus. “God is still saving people. The Gospel is still changing lives, and this generation is not beyond His reach,” Pokluda declared. “Jesus is building His Church! The Jesus Generation is rising!”
When Cory Asbury made his official return to worship music
Instead of helming a traditional opening set, Cory Asbury led worship toward the end of Forrest Frank’s time on stage. The seasoned worship leader primarily chose to lead the nightly crowds in familiar songs of worship like “Goodness Of God,” “No Longer Slaves” and “The Heart Of Worship,” alongside his signature original, “Reckless Love.” Earlier this year, Frank and Asbury formed an unlikely bond following a public disagreement, which ultimately led to the new friends traveling together on “The Jesus Generation Tour,” marking Asbury’s official return to his roots following a period of soul-searching, during which he scrapped a country album in favor of recording his new worship project, “Outsing The Angels.”
When Forrest picked a nervous little girl to rap the bridge on “God Is Good”
Every night of the tour, Forrest Frank selected someone from the audience to rap Caleb Gordon’s part on “God Is Good.” On July 30, in Austin, Texas, he chose a little girl with two broken arms and welcomed her to the stage for her solo. With a pink cast on each arm and a terrified look on her face, the young girl was visibly nervous. So, Frank attempted to alleviate her fears by telling her, “You cannot mess up worshiping God.” The little girl went on to absolutely crush the rap section of “God Is Good,” a highlight of the tour’s memorable stop at the 15,000-plus capacity Moody Center.
When 40,000 people sang “Your Way’s Better” at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas
Forrest Frank concluded his ambitious “Jesus Generation Tour” in Arlington, Texas, on Aug. 1. Deep into the setlist, Frank led the crowd in his GRAMMY®-nominated hit, “Your Way’s Better,” filling Globe Life Field with 40,000 voices singing in unison at the top of their lungs, drowning out Frank’s vocals. The uplifting anthem previously summited the Christian charts and became the Texas native’s first solo entry on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. “Your Way’s Better,” however, is best known for its accompanying viral TikTok dance that swept the nation upon release as evidenced by all the kids (and their parents) who eagerly executed the choreography at every tour stop.
