“I’m so grateful for what God is doing through Good Friday Nashville. It’s hard to believe next year will be year 10,” said Tomlin. “This has always been about the Church coming together as one — and over the years, it has been incredible to see and experience what has been built together. I can’t wait to see what God has in store for year 10! 
“To everyone who joined us in the arena, tuned in on K-LOVE, and to the team, the partners, and the surprise guests — thank you,” he added. “I pray you and your family had a blessed Easter weekend.”
“Tickets for April 3, 2026, are already available … and as many of you know, they go quick — so get yours now!” Tomlin told the crowd on Friday night. “I hope you and your family will join me as we gather as a community to remember the Cross and celebrate the hope we have in Jesus.”

For Others is a collective of donors, nonprofits, businesses, and government agencies holistically addressing the crisis plaguing our nation’s most vulnerable through local and nationwide initiatives.
