Forrest Frank is bringing his record-breaking ‘The Jesus Generation’ Tour to the big screen in 2027. The artist saw his tour cement itself as the largest-attended Christian music tour in history. Now, Forrest Frank is taking the massive movement to the big screen. In partnership with Lionsgate, the visionary artist has officially dropped the first trailer for his upcoming feature documentary, The Jesus Generation. It’s slated for a theatrical release in 2027.

Breaking Records and Making History on the Road

The documentary chronicles an unprecedented run. Spanning 29 cities from June 1 at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to a sold-out finale at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, which drew over 35,000 attendees, the tour welcomed more than 519,000 fans in just two months.

The tour’s impact stretched far beyond traditional Christian music charts. Pollstar ranked the trek No. 5 on its LIVE75 chart, according to Relevant Magazine. This positioned it directly behind stadium acts like Bad Bunny, BTS, Luke Combs, and Iron Maiden. Thus making it the highest-charting position for any artist booked primarily in arenas. Early reported shows averaged about 18,000 tickets a night, with massive highlights including Hersheypark Stadium in Pennsylvania drawing 27,365 people on June 15 and GEODIS Park in Nashville pulling in 23,667 fans four days later. Supported by acts like Tori Kelly, Cory Asbury, and The Figs, the tour proved that massive public demand existed. Pollstar noted that the run had already surpassed 470,000 tickets sold by December.

The massive scale is a meteoric rise for Forrest Frank. His debut headline run, the 2024 Child of God Tour, brought out 48,246 fans across 17 shows, while Child of God Tour Part 2 drew 214,626 fans over 26 shows. This summer’s outing more than doubled that previous attendance, fueled by momentum from his chart-topping music. Child of God II debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard 200 and logged the most weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart, while “Your Way’s Better” claimed the top spot as the No. 1 Hot Christian Song of 2025 and broke into the Hot 100. To date, Forrest has placed an astounding 70 songs on the Hot Christian Songs chart, establishing the most entries of any artist in history.

Behind the Scenes with Jelly Roll?

The newly released trailer gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at the community and camaraderie surrounding the movement. It includes a deeply moving, headline-grabbing moment between Forrest Frank and artist Jelly Roll.

The teaser captured the two artists sharing a warm, emotional backstage embrace. With tears in his eyes, Jelly Roll remarked, “This is an overdue hug. It’s going to heal a lot of people, not just us.”

The moment is a peaceful, healing bookend to an online conversation between the two artists last year, where they openly debated financial profit within Christian music.

Forrest had taken to social media to share his conviction about skipping the 2025 DOVE and GRAMMY Awards, explaining that it didn’t sit right with him to accept trophies and human praise for music made from Jesus and for Jesus. Jelly Roll had responded in the comments with a thought-provoking challenge regarding the legality and reality of profiting millions of dollars from that same music. Later, he poked gentle fun during his acceptance speech for winning the 2025 GMA Dove Award for “Hard Fought Hallelujah” with Brandon Lake by saying that he was glad he could “see the forest for the trees.”

Rather than letting division take root, Forrest replied with immense grace. He expressed gratitude for the question and opened up a deeper dialogue about stewardship. He then referenced Matthew 6:3 regarding private giving and keeping one’s relationship with God personal. Rather than staying fractured, that public exchange evolved into a mutual respect. The upcoming documentary highlights that bridge-building friendship on screen, alongside appearances from cultural and musical voices like Rick Rubin, Philip Anthony Mitchell, and Sadie Robertson.

Redefining the Landscape of Christian Music

Produced by Lionsgate, The Jesus Generation promises to offer an intimate, cinematic look at how Forrest Frank’s pop-infused melodies, folk elements, and hip-hop style have caught a generation of listeners. In a genre that has historically faced criticism for mimicking mainstream sounds, Forrest has completely rewritten the playbook for Contemporary Christian Music.
