Sean Feucht wasn’t planning to go live. Fresh off a red-eye from California after a trip to the Middle East, the worship leader and evangelist found himself compelled to speak — not about politics, not about headlines, but about something he believes runs far deeper beneath the surface of America’s chaos.
“We are in the middle of a spiritual war,” Feucht declared. “And if you’re not awake to this, I’m praying that today, somehow, you will come awake to that reality.”
On Assignment at Mar-a-Lago
The day before the third attempt on President Donald Trump’s life, Feucht had been at Mar-a-Lago with his family, leading worship in the property’s tea room — just steps from the president’s personal residence. He describes arriving with his guitar, being greeted warmly by Secret Service agents who recognized him, and gathering his family to pray over the grounds.
“We declared life over the president,” he said. “We always do this — with Biden, with Obama. Through every administration, we pray for the president.”

What struck Feucht most wasn’t the grandeur of the setting, but the spiritual atmosphere.
“There was a heightened atmosphere of spiritual war. It just felt like…we really need to pray.”
‘This Is Not Political. This Is 100% Spiritual.’
Feucht doesn’t shy away from the charge that his ministry is political. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 20, he pointed to the story of Jehoshaphat — a king who, surrounded and outnumbered by enemies, sent worshipers ahead of his army.
“As they began to praise, the Lord sent ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, who were invading Judah, and they were defeated,” Feucht quoted. “We don’t focus our prayers on the darkness. We extol the truth of who He is.”
A Call to Arms — Through Worship
For Feucht, the antidote to the despair many Americans feel is not louder political commentary but louder praise. He’s calling believers to join him May 16th on the National Mall for Let Us Worship — their seventh consecutive year hosting the event at the Sylvan Theater, in the shadow of the Washington Monument.
“We are not toning down nothing,” he said. “We are doubling down.”
Citing Hebrews 10:35, he closed with a charge to the church: “Do not throw away your confidence. It will be richly rewarded.”
“Now is the hour for worship to rise,” Feucht urged. “This is what we were born to do — to drive out demons, to bring healing to nations, to establish the kingdom.”
