Artist Forrest Frank is thanking God for a “complete healing” after breaking his back in a skateboarding accident two weeks ago while playing with his son in Houston. He sustained multiple fractures to his L2 and L3 vertebrae and initially experienced severe pain. In a social media video, Frank shared his medical scans and celebrated his recovery.
Forrest Frank shared that after initially suffering multiple back fractures and severe pain, he experienced a sudden and complete healing. Two weeks after the injury, he unknowingly went about his morning routine without a back brace, felt no pain, and an urgent x-ray confirmed there were no longer any fractures. Frank credits the healing to God, believing it was part of a bigger plan to inspire others through his testimony and music. During his recovery, he wrote and released a new song titled “God’s Got My Back.”
HisAir Industry News TIMELINE – Aug 3, 2023
WDJC/Birmingham PD Justin Flores checks in with HisAir. He says the WDJC morning team with Russell P (Wall) and Jessica (Borkland) have made such an impact for Jesus in Birmingham that they excitedly accepted an offer to add afternoon drive to their daily schedule. Live a total of 8 hours daily.
Justin tells HisAir, “These two have shown professionalism, truthfulness, and a willingness to try this and they are doing it! Their morning show is called Joyful Noise, where the theme is to wake up with a heart of worship and a mindfulness of God, preparing us to get on with the Lord’s day. Afternoons have been named “The Afternoon Jolt” where they are like that JOLT we need to push through those afternoon projects and wrap up the workday and get home. JOLT is also an acronym for Jesus Others Life Together. It is a running theme in their shows already, but as morning is light and fun, afternoons will deal with heavier areas of life, in addition to the fun factor. One thing that these two are known for is that they always have the Cross in view and redemption is a goal in all they bring on air. We appreciate your prayers for them, as they may not say it, I know, it’s not easy to bring that Spirit filled, loving fun factor, 10 hours a day!”
