One persons convictions may not be a conviction to others, and that has to accepted and equally challenged in good faith. You are both incredible vessels for the Lords work and you\u2019re both crushing it!!\u201d<\/p>\n One person seemed to be critical of Frank, telling Jelly Roll, \u201cWait until you see how much he\u2019s charging for a hoodie\u2026 sniff test ain\u2019t passing.\u201d<\/p>\n Fox News Digital has reached out to representatives for Jelly Roll and Frank.<\/p>\n Christian singer Forrest Frank shared a\u00a0video on Instagram earlier this week about his decision against attending awards shows or accepting awards for his music.

Steve Marcus<\/p>\n In his video, Frank explained, \u201cAs Christians, it\u2019s hard to know where the line in the sand is between being in the world and not of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n He acknowledged that the way he dresses and presents himself looks to be \u201cof the world,\u201d but he said that for him, he believes his line in the sand can be drawn when it comes to award shows.<\/p>\n \u201cI will not receive a trophy for something that is from Jesus and for Jesus,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Frank admitted that the issue is something he\u2019s been \u201cstruggling with\u201d and said he struggled with it last year when he won an award for\u00a0best new artist\u00a0at the Dove Awards.<\/p>\n \u201cI said, \u2018I\u2019m still struggling with the concept of receiving this award, but all glory to Jesus, every name will fade away, including mine, except for one name.’\u201d<\/p>\n Now, he explained, \u201cI feel a conviction to go even a step further and say I don\u2019t know if I even want to step on the stage. I don\u2019t know if I want to step in the room. And so I have decided to take a stance of non-participation.\u201d<\/p>\n Forrest Frank performs at Coca-Cola Coliseum in Toronto, Canada, on April 1, 2025.

The trophy is that my name is listed in the book of life and I get to have eternal life. What good is a piece of metal going to do compared to that?\u201d<\/p>\n This year\u2019s Dove Awards were held Oct. 7, and Jelly Roll made a passionate speech after receiving the song of the year award for \u201cHard Fought Hallelujah,\u201d a song he recorded with Brandon Lake.<\/p>\n \u201cThe world is hearing about Jesus like they haven\u2019t in decades right now,\u201d he said in part. \u201cThere is a revival happening in the United States of America where you can\u2019t go on a corner and not hear about Jesus right now. And while we are hearing about Jesus, I encourage you to put faith on your feet and feet on your faith and walk out of this building and go do for the least.\u201d<\/p>\n The Dove Awards\u00a0shared the video<\/a>\u00a0of Jelly Roll\u2019s speech on Instagram, and Frank left a comment Friday that read, \u201cCongrats bro!! Keep going for Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t
