CCM artist Forrest Frank will release his new album, The Jesus Generation, on Dec. 4 through River House Records, according to Billboard. Frank made the date public on social media, alongside short clips of new songs from the record. Billboard’s report is dated Oct. 28, 2026.

The preview clips feature a wide slate of guest artists. Lecrae and KB appear on “Go Go Go,” and JVKE is on “Let The Light In.” Michael W. Smith joins “Glory Hallelujah,” ZVC is on “My Little Miracle,” and Elevation Rhythm contributes “Revival’s in the Air.” Full new music from the album is set to arrive Friday, Oct. 30.

The list runs from Michael W. Smith to JVKE, so the preview covers a range of collaborators rather than one sound. Taken together, the clips give listeners a first taste before the full record is out on Dec. 4.

What led up to this album?

The album follows Frank’s May 2026 single, also titled “The Jesus Generation.” It also comes after his recent stadium and arena headlining run, The Jesus Generation Tour, which Billboard reports sold out. The single arrived months before the album announcement, giving the title track a long runway with listeners.

The tour’s ticket figure stands out because it came quickly. Billboard reports that the tour sold more than 470,000 tickets within 10 days of its announcement, a pace that points to strong demand for Frank’s live shows.

The shared name ties the single, the tour and the album into one era for the artist. A film of the tour, The Jesus Generation Tour Movie, will hit theaters next year through Lionsgate and Kingdom Story Company, giving fans a closer look at the shows.

How strong is Frank’s chart record?

Frank has earned five GMA Dove Awards and three Grammy nominations to date. In May, his song “Jesus Is Alive!” earned him his second chart-topper on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs tally.

Since 2023 he has logged several more hits on that chart, including “No Longer Bound” with Hulvey, “Up!,” “Good Day” and “Your Way’s Better.” The last of those became his first song to break through on the all-genre Hot 100. His song “Lemonade,” with The Figs, also landed on the Hot 100.

Hot Christian Songs is Billboard’s chart for the genre, and the Hot 100 ranks songs across all genres. Breaking through on the Hot 100 puts a song in front of listeners beyond the genre’s own audience. Frank’s chart run also spans several years rather than a single breakout moment.

Billboard’s 2025 year-end rankings point the same way. Frank led the Top Christian Artists and Top Christian Artists, Male charts, and his projects Child of God and Child of God II claimed the top two spots on the Top Christian Albums chart.

What comes next?

The schedule is set by dates in the report. New music from The Jesus Generation arrives Friday, Oct. 30, the full album is due Dec. 4, and The Jesus Generation Tour Movie will reach theaters next year. Billboard’s report does not add details beyond those dates.

For fans, the sequence offers three things to watch for: a first listen to the collaborations now, the full album in December, and the tour film next year. Readers who want the complete list of preview tracks and chart history can check Billboard’s original reporting.
