About Forrest Frank, Forrest Frank

Forrest Frank is an American singer-songwriter and producer, formerly one half of pop duo Surfaces, now a chart-topping solo Christian/hip-hop artist and member of Party Wave, signed to River House/Warner/10K Projects.

Faith journey and beliefs

Frank has said he grew up Baptist/non-denominational, drifted from faith during college, then had 'a life-changing encounter with Christ' at Antioch Church in Waco that redirected his career toward explicitly Christian music, including reworking hymns like 'Nothing But The Blood'. Describes his Christian music path as unplanned, saying he 'can't take any credit'.

What this song is about

Forrest Frank has built "GOD IS GOOD" around the well-known call-and-response phrase he grew up hearing in church - "God is good all the time, and all the time, God is good" - turning it into a joyful, catchy affirmation of God's unchanging character. Frank has often spoken of giving all credit for his music to God, saying at the 2024 Dove Awards that "this is just all for Him and everything I do is for the Lord," a conviction that runs through the song's simple, repeated chorus.

Reflection

God is good is among the most repeated phrases in Christian worship, sometimes so familiar it risks becoming reflexive rather than considered. Yet scripture treats this claim as foundational rather than casual, Psalm 34:8 inviting people to taste and see that the Lord is good, an invitation to direct experience rather than mere agreement with a slogan. Goodness here is not simply pleasantness or the absence of hardship, but a settled character trait, consistent and trustworthy across circumstances that vary wildly. Forrest Frank's title, stripped down to its simplest form, dares to state this plainly, perhaps precisely because it needs restating often, especially when life makes the claim feel less obvious. Repetition in worship is not necessarily shallow, sometimes truths need saying again and again until they take root more deeply than circumstance can shake them. A song this direct offers listeners the chance to declare something true regardless of how convincingly the day has argued otherwise.
