Christian nationalist troubadour Sean Feucht is bragging about interrupting a peaceful procession of Muslims in Chicago Aug. 9.
“We did a Jesus March right through the Muslim March in Chicago!!! This is crazy!!!” Feucht declared on social media Sunday. “This may be the most hardcore Jesus March we’ve ever done!”
The march he interrupted was the annual Arbaeen Procession, a peaceful and nonpolitical event that commemorates the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad.
It appears the permitted Muslim event passed through a corridor where Feucht’s “Roots of Revival” tour was to take place an hour later. Nevertheless, Feucht portrayed this as a Muslim invasion and a “spiritual war” between Christians and Muslims.
Someone needs to teach the man-child Feucht some manners. What he did was crude and rude and un-Christian. But this is what passes for faithful living among MAGA evangelicals.
Remember, this is the same branch of evangelicals who got so upset when anti-ICE protesters walked into a Southern Baptist worship service in St. Paul, Minn., last January. The evangelicals said they were the victims of religious persecution.
How many of those same evangelicals will stand up for the religious liberty of Muslims not to be disrupted by angry Christians?
As the group of Muslims gathered to sing, pray and read their Scriptures, Feucht led his group of evangelical worship warriors right through them as the Christians waved flags, blew shofars, chanted and banged on buckets with American flag stickers on them.
“Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!” Feucht’s warriors yelled, as Feucht echoed by chanting, “King of kings!”
“The Muslim march stopped at a street corner,” Feucht said in a video posted online Sunday evening. “And we marched literally right through them just declaring the name of Jesus. And it was like a holy confrontation that we didn’t even plan for.”
Feucht’s plans for worship warfare
All this fits perfectly with Feucht’s view of evangelical worship as warfare and his false belief that America was founded as a “Christian nation” and therefore Christians should have privileges others do not receive.
He sees worship as a weapon Christians wield to fight back the spiritual darkness. Thus, he strategically plans out his worship tours to target specific locations for waging spiritual battle. These have included every state Capitol and the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
As I detail in my forthcoming book, Weapons of Worship: How the Songs of Evangelicalism Form the Soundtrack of Extremism, Feucht said during one of his 2025 tour stops with Charlie Kirk’s former pastor and Turning Point USA Faith cochair Rob McCoy, “I was on a phone call today, actually, on the way down here, talking with the America 250 team. We are planning and plotting to do revival meetings, sponsored by the U.S. government, all across the nation.”
The audience roared as McCoy lifted his hands into the air and Feucht kept the momentum going: “There’s going to be such an explosion of revival!”
Again, these are the same people who falsely claim America is experiencing spiritual revival since Donald Trump returned to the White House.
Feucht’s tour eventually became the “Roots of Revival: America 250” tour. But this weekend didn’t exactly go according to plan. On Saturday, Feucht took to social media in a panic when his two sound guys missed their flight to the worship event in Rochester, N.Y.
“Both of our sound guys missed their flight connections into Rochester in time for our event!!!” he wrote. “We are scrambling!!!! Please pray!!!”
As I explained on Facebook, the reason this was such an urgent moment of desperation for Feucht was likely due to the fact that he believes worship is warfare. So going into battle without your two sound guys would be like Pete Hegseth flying the troops into Iran and not having his commanders.
After they were able to find some replacement sound guys, Feucht blamed the missed flights on witchcraft.
“It’s been a battle,” he said. “I’m telling you every time I come here to New York … I feel such intense witchcraft! Like crazy witchcraft! … It started with us not even having sound guys.”
Then on Sunday’s stop in Chicago, Feucht’s plans once again hit unexpected turbulence — this time due to the presence of Muslims.
A worship awakening
As Feucht prepared Sunday for his planned worship event, he walked up to the Buckingham Fountain in Chicago to discover a group of Muslims singing, praying and reading the Quran.
“This is insane. What I’m witnessing right now behind me is crazy,” Feucht said into his camera for social media while pointing his finger at them. “A massive Muslim march through the city where they’re declaring their allegiance to Allah and that the entire city of Chicago is going to bow to Allah.”
