Christian Supremacists' Seattle Strategy

Christian supremacist worship leader Sean Feucht is heading back to Seattle for Revive in 25, and anyone paying attention should recognize this isn't just another stop on his revival tour. It's a calculated return to a “spiritual battlefield" that's already proven fertile ground for the right’s brand of manufactured controversy.

Just months ago, the Mayday USA’s confrontational event at Cal Anderson Park generated exactly the kind of heated opposition and 23 arrests that Christian nationalists feast on. And now, Feucht is doubling down on a strategy that transforms local community defense and opposition into national political capital.

What happened at Cal Anderson in May wasn’t a spontaneous combustion. It was a carefully orchestrated provocation designed to create the very confrontation that would fuel weeks of “Christians under attack” content across right-wing media. And it worked perfectly. The question Seattle faces now isn't whether Feucht will try to provoke another incident, but whether the community will recognize they are being used as unwilling actors in a political theater production.

The city and Feucht negotiated the move of the original event from Cal Anderson to Gas Works Park. Late last week, Pastor Russell Johnson of Pursuit, who was a focal point of Mayday USA and the following “Rattle in Seattle" announced that Pursuit will be joining “Revive in 25.” In the instagram video, Johnson said, “Why don't you invite a friend, invite a family member? We’re going to be worshiping outdoors, going to be an incredible time in the presence of God.”
