Forrest Frank’s 2026 is already shaping up to be a huge year.Over the weekend, the Houston native delivered a major hometown milestone, headlining the iconic Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo — one of the largest concert stages in the country — in front of more than 70,000 fans. The sold-out show at NRG Stadium marked Frank’s first appearance at the legendary event and a full-circle moment for the artist who grew up in the Houston area.
The milestone performance capped off a remarkable weekend for Frank, who also sold out Florida’s Florida Strawberry Festival — further highlighting the surging demand for the artist ahead of what will be his biggest tour to date. The back-to-back sellouts showcase the strong grassroots following Frank has built across the country, a fan base that continues to grow as he gears up for a historic summer tour.

Hope Media Group (HMG) and Thomas Nelson Bibles have formed a multi-year agreement that will result in more people engaging with the life-changing message of the Bible. A recent study revealed that nearly 70% of churchgoers do not consistently engage with scripture, but this collaboration will leverage the strengths of both organizations to foster spiritual engagement through media and high-quality biblical resources. As part of the deal, HMG will use Thomas Nelson’s New King James Version (NKJV) across its radio, streaming, and digital content. In addition, Thomas Nelson will provide English and Spanish Bibles for HMG to distribute its audiences.
“Hope Media Group’s commitment to connecting people with God’s Word through its programs, podcasts, and ‘World’s Biggest Small Group’ made this partnership a natural fit,” says Nikki Getman, Vice President of Marketing for Thomas Nelson Bibles. “We’re honored to serve alongside the good work being done to impact lives with the Good News of Jesus Christ,” added Philip Nation, Publisher for the Bible group.
David Harms, Pastor of Discipleship at Hope Media Group, emphasized the importance of making God’s Word accessible. “At Hope Media Group, our mission is to engage people to love Jesus, serve others, and spread hope. Partnering with a publisher like Thomas Nelson allows us to provide our audience with even more reliable and inspiring ways to engage with the Bible every day,” said Harms. “We believe this collaboration will be a powerful catalyst for spiritual growth within our communities and beyond.”
By combining HMG’s broad media reach with Thomas Nelson’s 200-year legacy of publishing excellence, the two organizations seek to inspire a new generation of readers and listeners to discover the hope found in Scripture.
