Forrest Frank & JVKE ~ Artists of the Week 12/12/25

Forrest Frank’s journey into Christian music is marked by transformation and calling. Once part of the mainstream duo Surfaces, he felt God tugging at his heart to step away from the spotlight and step into ministry. His testimony includes a powerful moment when a woman at church told him she had dreamed that he would change the game in Christian music. That word confirmed what God was already stirring in him. Since then, Forrest has released Child of God, one of the best‑selling Christian albums of 2025, and continues to share openly how God restored his life and gave him purpose.

JVKE, born Jacob Lawson, grew up in Providence, Rhode Island, the son of a pastor and a music teacher. His early years were shaped by worship in church and piano lessons at home. Though he rose to fame through TikTok and pop hits, his roots in faith and worship remain evident. Together, Forrest Frank and JVKE released This Is What Christmas Feels Like on December 5, 2025, a collaborative album blending pop creativity with Christ‑centered themes.

One of the standout songs is “Christmas Morning.” This duet captures the joy of waking to the reality of Christ’s birth. It’s relatable because it reminds us of childlike wonder, but redirects it to the true gift of salvation. Luke 2:11 says, “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” Hearing this song makes me feel hopeful, reminding me that even in seasons of loss, the Savior’s arrival is cause for joy.

Another highlight is “Shine Your Light.” This track speaks to living boldly in faith, even when the world feels dark. It resonates because we all face moments where fear tempts us to hide, yet the song calls us to shine. Matthew 5:16 says, “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” It encourages me to step past hesitation and let my testimony point others to Christ.

The song “CHRISTmas” strips away the commercialism of the holiday and centers on Jesus. It’s relatable because we all feel the tension between worldly distractions and spiritual truth. Isaiah 9:6 declares, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.” Hearing this song makes me reflect on how Christ’s birth is the foundation of freedom and peace, not the gifts under a tree.

Forrest Frank and JVKE remind us that God uses both testimony and creativity to reach hearts. Their collaboration is more than seasonal—it’s a call to remember that Christ is the center of joy, freedom, and light. Don’t wait to share that truth. Now is the time to let your life shine, to embrace the Savior’s gift, and to declare that He is the reason for hope.
