Who is Sean Feucht?

He's a cult leader from Redding, CA, that leads worship at a church that believes the supernatural gifts of the Spirit can be taught, largely focusing on faith healing but they also do the Christianized equivalent of psychic readings to reach "the lost."
Like, they will literally do cold readings on people except instead of ghosts it's God telling them shit because he's That Concerned about your soul.

They put glitter in their AC system at the church to perform ~miracles~ of feathers falling from the sky to replicate Pentacost.
Feucht himself ran for public office as a Republican and the church has largely subsumed the city of Redding into their cult, becoming a powerful force that dictates policy in the city.
I call them a cult because I know people who got involved with them and they just ... disappeared off the face of the earth, basically. Everything - literally everything - became about Bethel. The "school" only teaches from books written by the founders, with very few exceptions.
Feucht is the lead singer of their very profitable worship music arm, which is how he gets around the country to spread "revival." Bethel also runs an ex-gay ministry to promote conversion therapy, which is banned in California (where Bethel is headquartered).
During protests here in Minneapolis, Feucht got an invite to do his thing at a local college. A group of white female alumni were like, 'Oh fuck no." This prompted the uni to cancel the event.

Feucht said on instagram that his revival was canceled because of threats of violence.
This was obviously not true, but Feucht blocked anyone who commented otherwise.

He then showed up, uninvited, at the George Floyd Memorial, sans masks, and held an unwelcome "revival," putting a largely BIPOC community at risk in the middle of a pandemic.
(There's some question as to whether or not Feucht is still associated with Bethel in an official capacity, as they seem to be trying to both claim him and disown him at the same time, depending on who they talk to).
