Cory Asbury and Forrest Frank Announce ‘Jesus Bowl 26’—A Faith-Filled Alternative to Super Bowl’s Bad Bunny Show
Christian artists Cory Asbury and Forrest Frank have confirmed that their much-anticipated “Jesus Bowl 26” halftime show is officially moving forward—without any affiliation with Turning Point USA. In a video shared on Instagram, Asbury clarified that the worship-centered concert will stand alone as a spiritual alternative to the NFL’s traditional halftime spectacle. “Forrest and I soft-launched this idea of an alternative halftime show. People loved it. It went viral quickly. It seemed like there was a desire for something like this,” he said, noting that the duo is currently securing a venue and donors to bring the vision to life.
The announcement follows widespread debate after the NFL revealed Bad Bunny—a performer known for his provocative lyrics—would headline this year’s Super Bowl halftime show. Asbury’s “Jesus Bowl” aims to offer a clean, faith-driven alternative that unites believers in worship rather than spectacle. While Turning Point USA had announced its own “All-American Halftime Show,” Asbury emphasized that their event will be focused solely on evangelism, not politics. “This is about Jesus, not agendas,” he said, sparking excitement among Christian fans eager to turn one of pop culture’s biggest nights into a global moment of praise.
