This week, you’ll start hearing “Lemonade” by Forrest Frank. Here’s the story behind it from Forrest himself:
“… My pastor challenged me and my buddy Noah. To, in tandem, do a 30 day journal challenge. Long story short, I felt like God was saying, ‘hey, I want you to start documenting everything,’ specifically with music, literally in [a] journal …
And I’m like, ‘okay, I got to get camera equipment’ … so I buy all this gear, tripods, memory cards, battery packs.’ I set everything up and I test it out … Anyways, I’m ready to go. I’m ready to launch this thing [and] start documenting my musical journey, and [then] I break my back.
And what’s crazy about this, I happened to crash right in front of the ring camera and we caught it on video. that’s already super weird … I can’t believe we caught this on video … I felt like God was going to do something good because He’s always doing something good.
So I find out that I break my back in multiple spots. I’m out …‘okay, I’m gonna be here for who knows how long; Months.’ And because I had all my camera equipment set up, I told [my wife,] Grace to go downstairs and just grab my gear … Then I make “God’s Got My Back”.
At this point in the timeline, I’m already thinking, ‘oh, this is a miracle. I just captured making a whole song. It’s a proclamation of joy in the midst of a trial’. And that could have been it. He could have ended it there.
[Then there] was “Lemonade” … Like, that was the miracle …
I know there’s someone [here] who doesn’t know Jesus. I used to be depressed. I used to be insecure. I used to be full of anxiety. I was not this person. I gave my life to Jesus, and He changed everything …”
