Beyond the Awards: Lessons From Forrest Frank | Ep. 29

Send Casey a text!!Have you heard what Forrest Frank said that has everyone talking? In today’s episode, we take a closer look at the truths we can learn from his recent decision not to attend the Dove Awards.No matter what kind of musician you are, Forrest’s words invite us to examine our own hearts — the parts drawn toward self-exalting, recognition, and praise. As Christian musicians, our deepest desire should be to glorify God above ourselves, but that’s often easier said than done.My hope is that Forrest’s faith encourages you and stirs your heart toward humble, authentic worship to the Lord, not self.To see Forrest's post, click here!Discussion Questions - Try discussing with a friend or in our Facebook Discussion Group What stuck out to you most from today’s episode?How did you react to seeing Forrest Frank’s post?Do you think, as musicians, we tend to love and desire recognition, praise, attention, prestige?  Have you experienced this in your life? Have you heard of the Book of Life before?  How do those two verses in Revelation help remind you that Salvation is a priceless gift? Compare earthly treasures and heavenly treasures?  Why is it useless to put our hope in earthly treasures? What helps remind you that the gift of music has not come from your own doing, but is a gift from God that you have only received? What is your reaction to the reality that your name will fade away? Is that comforting to you?  Or disheartening? Will you let Jesus be the Lord of your life?  Or will you resist and be the master of your life?  How were you encouraged by the story from Daniel 5?  Thanks so much for listening!
