Christian music artist Forrest Frank turned a painful fall into worship after fracturing his spine during a recent skateboarding accident.

While recovering from a serious injury to his lower back, Frank wrote and recorded a new faith-based song that exploded online, drawing support from fans and fellow musicians, the Christian Post reported.

The 30-year-old singer, known for his hit “Good Day,” was skateboarding with his 2-year-old son, Bodie, over the weekend when he took a hard fall. A home security camera captured the moment he lost balance and struck his lower back on a sidewalk edge. Frank later revealed that he fractured both his L3 and L4 vertebrae during the accident.

The artist admitted he wasn’t wearing protective gear at the time, commenting, “It was just a casual session with my 2-year-old, so I didn’t even think to put a helmet on...hindsight is 20/20.” His wife, Grace, assisted him immediately following the fall, as seen in a follow-up video posted to TikTok.

Medical evaluations confirmed the fractures, leaving Frank confined to bed for the foreseeable future. In the face of this setback, he used his time of rest to reflect and create. “Turning lemons into lemonade,” he wrote in a caption under his video update.

Shifting Pain Into Purpose Through Song

Despite being physically restricted, Frank remained musically active. From his bed, he began composing a song inspired by his experience and by God’s role in difficult moments. The artist shared his creative process in real time, stating, “I think I’m gonna just sing whatever pops out, and I’m gonna build the chords around it.”

The song came together in just three hours. Featuring lyrics that speak to divine comfort and unshakable faith, the track resonated widely. Repeating the phrase, “God’s got my back,” the song highlights God’s presence during trials, pain, and recovery.

Lines like “I don’t have to worry about tomorrow” and “Flowers like to bloom in the season that is best” point toward acceptance and hope. The lyrical focus reflects Frank’s personal belief that challenges can lead to spiritual growth.

Artists and Fans Celebrate the Message

Once released, the song spread rapidly online, amassing hundreds of thousands of views and spurring multiple reaction videos. Fellow Christian music artists voiced their support. Lecrae described the song’s sound as “dope,” while Colton Dixon called it the “epitome of no excuses.”

Fans engaged with Frank’s content, with one asking, “How will you make fire music with a fractured back?” Frank answered simply, “I don’t know. Let’s find out.” His candid approach and spiritual outlook struck a chord with listeners, new and old.

The incident marks another powerful moment in Frank’s journey as a faith-driven artist. He began his career with the surf-pop duo Surfaces in 2017 before transitioning to Christian music. His solo work, including the chart-topping album Child of God, has drawn praise for its heartfelt messages and biblical grounding.

Faith as Foundation in Every Trial

Frank’s injury isn’t the first time he’s channeled personal trials into worship. Reflecting on his past, he noted that shortly after releasing “Good Day,” he endured a deeply painful experience involving betrayal and loss. He shared, “Three days after that song came out, I went through the hardest trial of my life.”

This pattern of transformation—pain into praise—has been central to his songwriting. He frequently quotes Scripture and relies on prayer to navigate hard moments. One passage he often references is 1 Peter: “Cast your anxieties on the Lord … and the peace which surpasses all knowledge will guard our hearts.”

Frank’s efforts have not gone unnoticed by the larger Christian music community. At this year’s GMA Dove Awards, he was named New Artist of the Year. His track “Good Day” also won Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year.

Grounded in Scripture and Faithful Worship

During his acceptance speech, Frank emphasized that every song he creates is meant to honor Jesus. “Everything I do is for the Lord,” he said, expressing humility in his win. He explained that he strives for theological accuracy in everything he sings.

He described a moment in writing where the phrasing “I am resurrected” was switched to “He is resurrected” to keep the lyrical focus entirely on Christ. “It may not work better with the story, but just to give that extra nod to Jesus,” he recalled.

Frank said he feels alive when worshiping and no longer finds fulfillment in mainstream music. “Once I started making Christian music and worshiping Him, going back to making pop music is like air. There’s no substance in it for me,” he stated.

Looking Toward Healing and Continued Worship

Despite the pain and temporary immobility, Frank sees his accident as an opportunity to draw closer to God and share that journey publicly. “The fact that I get to wake up every day and worship Jesus and then just record it… It is so fulfilling and so life-giving,” he said.

He added that whether or not his platform grows or fades, his mission remains the same: to glorify Jesus. “My name will fade away just like all of ours one day, but at the end of time and for all of eternity, one name will remain: Jesus Christ.”

As he continues his recovery, fans can expect more worship-led music from Frank—written not despite his trials, but because of them.
