Sean Feucht's Brazen Worship Movement

In his new book, "Brazen," worship leader Sean Feucht reveals his journey of running for congressional office and leading a radical worship movement across the United States. Read Transcript


- All right, well, let us worship.

That's the rallying cry of Sean Feucht.

He's fed up with the double standard.

Officials have orderedchurches to close their doors,

but they've turned a blind eye

as protestors pack the streets.

So Sean has toured the nation

hosting his own worshipprotests, so-called protests.

He's stirred up his fair share

of controversy along the way though.

And Sean Feucht is joining us right now.

Sean, welcome to "The 700 Club."

- Ah, thank you so much.

Good morning, everyone.

- Sean, I've been followingyou on social media

and, of course, interviewedyou a few times as well,

and the crowds thatyou've been able to gather

at these events from places,

from California to NewOrleans to DC are massive.

I mean, there's such a hungerout there, isn't there,

for people that just want togather and worship the Lord.

- Yeah, there really is.

I mean, and it's evident.

You know, people, I really believe

they're not gathering with us for a brand

or a band name or, it'snot even a concert.

People just want to get together.

They need hope right now.

We're in the midst ofsuch a divisive time.

And that's what worship does,

you know, getting togetherand looking on Jesus

and singing together and praying.

It just fills us withsuch perspective and hope.

People are really needingthat right now across America.

- But you've taken some flakfor hosting these events,

these worship events,even from Christians.

What's your response to that?

- Yeah, I mean, governors,mayors, Christians, friends.

I mean, we've gotten it all around, but,

you know, I think Ilook at revival history

or even in the Bible andnothing significant takes place

to shift things in a generation

without some controversy and pushback.

And so, think maybe my runfor, to be a conservative

in California in Congress,

I think maybe that might've prepared me

for this season that we're in right now.

- Sean, let's talk about that.

You ran for Congress.

You had never been in politics before.

What made you want to do that?

- Well, really, I think...

You know, I've spent so much of my history

in the nations the last 20 years.

We've been investing ourselvesin some of the hardest

and darkest nations in the world.

But when the pandemic happened and when,

especially in America right now,

you know, I live in California

and we have some of the craziest laws,

some of the most intense regulations.

We have crazy things likeyou have to be 16 years old

unless you're with a parentto get your ears pierced,

but the state is fundingsex changes starting at 12

and 13 years old withouteven telling parents.

You see these things happening.

You see that, you know, I would've ran

just purely on the pro-life issue.

I mean, that's something

that has just been a cry and a prayer

since I was in high school,actually in Virginia,

that God would overturn thatdeath decree in America.

And I look at now and I have four kids

and I'm deeply concernedabout the future in America

for my children, and that'sreally what caused me

to want to do that.

- Yeah, of course, you did not win.

Are you still glad you ran?

- (laughs) I mean, I thinkit was a good experience.

I definitely got to peek behind the veil

in politics in Californiaand even in the US.

And I'll tell you,

we're called as believersto be salt and light,

and there is not enoughbelievers going into that sphere

of influence in the worldand so it emboldened me

to start calling otherpeople to do the same.

- Sean, you had a Riots to Revival concert

in Portland, Oregon, avery liberal stronghold,

plus one that drew tens ofthousands in Washington DC.

What are some of the after-effects

that you're still hearing about

from these cities you were in?

- Well, what we're reallygoing after, we are believing

that there is anotherJesus People movement

coming to America, andwe believe that it's one

that's full of revival, that'sfull of salvations, miracles,

signs and wonders.

And you've probablyseen, if you followed us,

we're baptizing hundreds ofpeople in every city we go to.

But we've really beentargeting these cities

that have just comeunder such crazy unrest

and we've really been going after 'em,

and we believe that, in the same way

that the Lord's called usinto nations like Afghanistan

and Iraq and North Koreaand places like that,

that same power and presence of God

can shift the citiesinside our own nation.

So we went into Portlandin the middle of the riots.

We went into Seattle, actuallyto the CHOP autonomous zone.

And of course, Washington DC,

I think was a huge thing for us on the eve

of the confirmation of thenew Supreme Court justice.

We gathered almost 40,000 people

and we just worshipedin the freezing rain.

I was so encouraged bythe grit in Americans

to worship Jesus no matter what.

It was amazing.

- I have never seen so much prayer,

and I know you haven't either,

in our nations capitalbefore an election before.

Sean, what's your take onthis election right now?

Is God speaking to youabout what happened?

Do you think it's over?

- You know, I think we haveto let the process play out.

I mean, look, you know,

Bush-Gore, it went 37 days,I think, after that election,

and so I think we letthe process play out.

But I believe, in the meantime,

that we use this season of,

you know, where everythingcan be shaken will be shaken,

and just like we saw in NewOrleans this last weekend,

preaching the simple gospelin the middle of a season

that's divisive, it always works.

People were running down to the altar

in Jackson Square to givetheir life to the Lord.

And, you know, I feel likewe're carrying this Word.

Now is the time for a great harvest.

Even in the midst of all this,

even in the midst of the uncertainty,

the gospel still thrives.

- Sean, you have written anew book called "Brazen."

And you said you had no idea

how timely this message would be.

Brazen means bold and unashamed.

And I love the photo on the cover.

Tell us real quick about that photo

and why you wrote this book.

- Yeah, that photo is actually in,

outside of Mosul in northern Iraq

and that was a bus thatwas blown up by ISIS.

And we were just driving on the road

to another refugee camp and I saw that bus

and I'm like, "We gottago inside that bus,"

and the guys were like,"We don't know if we can."

I'm like, "No, we should go in there."

At the time, I didn't write the book,

I hadn't written the book,but when we were starting to,

when I was praying aboutthis topic and just...

You know, one of my favoriteBilly Graham quotes,

where he says, "When acourageous man takes a stand,

the spines of everyoneelse are stiffened."

And I really feel like that book, for me,

it's been a prophetic precursor

to the season that I'm in now.

But it shows how we have to have grit.

We have to have courage.

We have to have boldness and tenacity

to go after the things of God.

And regardless of the mobthat comes against us,

regardless of the pressure politically,

or regardless of what people,trolls on social media like,

we have to do what we'recalled to do in the kingdom,

and if we do that, it will encourage

everyone else around usto take a stand as well.

So that's essentiallywhat the book's about.

You guys should get it.I think it's pretty good.

- Well, I've got it, and Icouldn't put it down last night.

It's a fascinating story.

Sean's new book is called "Brazen."

It's available nationwide.

You need to get a copy.

Sean Feucht, thank you somuch for being with us.

God bless you.

- Thank you guys. God bless you too.

Thanks for having me on.
