Christian nationalist revival leader and Trump loyalist Sean Feucht announced he is partnering with the federal government on a worship tour that will coincide with the nation’s 250th anniversary.
The “Roots of Revival” tour will include 20 stops from March to September in locations ranging from Sante Fe, N.M., and Washington, D.C., to Gettysburg, Penn., to Nashville, Tenn.
The concept mirrors a 2025 worship rally Feucht led at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in coordination with Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner.

Feucht claimed during a recent livestream show that he got the idea directly from God.
“As I was praying and fasting leading into the new year, I felt like the Lord said, ‘Remind America on the 250-year anniversary of her heritage and revival and awakening. In other words, call America back to God. This is the source of our strength.”
The “exciting” and “coolest” things, he added, are that the “Roots of Revival” tour will operate under the auspices of the Freedom 250 task force organized by President Donald Trump in partnership with the conservative Hillsdale College, a right-wing institution that tried to overturn the 2020 election results.
“We have come into an agreement with them to partner together, to collaborate together,” Feucht said about the White House Faith Office. “They’re going to be coming out to some of our events. We’re going to be championing other things they’re doing. And so it’s just very, very amazing.”
Feucht also condemned the Biden administration for refusing to partner with his efforts to stage government-infused Christian worship events.
“But it’s just an amazing season from God to be able to do this in partnership with our own government and to know that they have our back and to be able to be an extension of literally like the faith office inside of the White House, all the people that are praying inside of there.”
The Christian nationalist worship gatherings also will be supported by many administration officials who “love Jesus” and who have agreed to call for a national “day of worship and prayer and consecration to rededicate America back to God” on May 17, the day following the tour’s Washington, D.C. performance, he added.

Feucht’s view of the Department of Justice as an enforcer of conservative Christianity was clear in his condemnation of immigration advocates who protested at a Southern Baptist church in St. Paul in January.
“I believe the message is clear that there will be consequences for crossing those sacred spaces and causing chaos and mayheming churches,” he said. “So, we are reviewing even how to react in terms of security and practical ways, but we appreciate the DOJ for stepping in and showing these agitators that there’ll be consequences for their actions.”
But Feucht has proved to be no stranger to mayhem himself. Last year, several former ministry colleagues came forward with allegations of moral, financial and spiritual abuse against him.

“Having witnessed firsthand what we have witnessed about Sean, we can no longer encourage financial contributions to him and his endeavors,” said former officials with his “Let Us Worship” operation. “We can no longer encourage anyone to work for him, paid or unpaid. And we can no longer encourage anyone to partner with him in any ministry capacity or invest in him financially.”
Their Truth and Freedom Stories website points to objectional behaviors such as gaslighting, lying and presenting himself as a victim while retaliating against whistleblowers.
“Based on the longstanding and corroborated nature of these concerns, we strongly urge that Sean Feucht be removed from positions of leadership and financial stewardship,” the whistleblowers said. “This statement is made for the purpose of preventing further harm and upholding standards of biblical accountability and transparency.”
But Feucht said he is moving forward with a 2026 program fully supported by the Trump administration.
Many of the locations for the “Roots of Revival” tour connect with places and personalities Christian nationalists use to assert God ordained the U.S. as an exclusively Christian nation.
“I’m talking everywhere from where George Whitfield and John Wesley and the heroes of the Great Awakening preached their sermons, to where George Washington prayed in Valley Forge in the Revolutionary War, all the way to where the first cross was planted on the shores of North America and Cape Henry, Va., and Virginia Beach, but also Azusa Street in L.A. and the Jesus People movement,” he said.
