Musicians Forrest Frank and Noah Hayden recently announced their new band name, “Party Wave,” after losing their original name to copyright issues. Rather than fight a legal battle, they turned the setback into an opportunity for generosity.

Instead of spending money on legal fees, Frank offered a reward for a new name. That decision sparked a chain reaction of selflessness and donations for a children’s center in Guatemala.

Faith Facts

• A $10,000 prize was donated to a ministry rescuing children from trafficking after several winners chose to pass the blessing along.
• The name “Party Wave” is inspired by surfing and reflects the Christ-like act of selflessly sharing with others.
• The funding miracle answered the specific prayers and fasting of a ministry founder seeking support for a new facility.

Frank believes the entire experience was orchestrated by God to extend the reach of their community and serve the Lord.

He maintains that his music will always focus on the Gospel and the life-giving nature of worshiping Jesus.

“As long as I’m putting the truth of the Gospel in the songs, and if I can recognize the Holy Spirit in the music, then I know that He’s going to be doing the work because I don’t put any pressure on it.”

The duo remains committed to Christian music, viewing their platform as a way to help others connect with the Holy Spirit.

They see the unexpected name change as a beautiful testimony to how God honors those who seek His will over earthly gain.

The globally acclaimed series The Chosen is returning to screens this fall to continue its powerful portrayal of the Gospel.

Season 6 will premiere November 15 on Prime Video, focusing specifically on the pivotal final hours of our Savior’s earthly life.

Creator Dallas Jenkins shared that these episodes will highlight Christ’s ultimate surrender to the Father’s will.

By witnessing His sacrifice, believers are reminded that our own daily struggles pale in comparison to the weight of the cross.

“Season 6 is the living out of what Jesus said: ‘Not my will, but yours,’” Jenkins said.

“Jesus, God incarnate, expressed that His own will might be to avoid the crucifixion, yet He willingly chose surrender.”

The production continues to break barriers as a testament to the hunger for faith-based entertainment in a secular culture.

With plans to reach 600 languages, the ministry behind the show is ensuring that 95% of the world can hear the Good News in their own tongue.

As this series nears its conclusion, let us pray it continues to inspire many to seek a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and follow in His footsteps of obedience.

We look forward to seeing how God uses this production to touch hearts across the globe.
