Welcome to Breakthrough Hour.

SPEAKER_05 0:36

From America.

SPEAKER_00 0:37

From America, from my studio. And man, we are so excited to be here. This is the first time that we've actually done a fully live show. So you have to bear with us. Hopefully, there's no technical difficulties. And we're just excited. We're excited to be home. We're grateful to be back in the U.S. And I want to start off first. I just want to read this quick verse just as a reminder for especially all believers out there. This is a verse in Mark 16, 15. This is not called the Great Suggestion. It's called the Great Commission. And uh this is what Jesus said. He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe in my name. They will drive out demons, they will speak in new tongues, they will pick up snakes with their hands, and when they drink deadly poison, it will not harm them at all. They will place their hands on sick people and they will get well. So this is the Great Commission. This is what we've given our life to. For those that may not be aware, um, I am uh probably more than anything, I've given my life to serve in the nations of the world. My parents did this, uh, and um I'm doing this. This has been the dream of my life. And so, as much as I love um music and albums and recording and big stages and all that, like my heart really burns for the nations of the world. And so, even in the midst of the rise of uh let us worship and the other things that we've done, um my heart always goes back to the nations. This is my been my first love. And and we were high school sweethearts, so you can Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 2:29

I I had made a post about this on Instagram because it was so funny the other day, just thinking back to when we were engaged, no dating, I think. And you were like, Do you think you'd be okay with living in a tent in the middle of China or India? And I'm like, I was so afraid to leave America. And I love how God is so kind because we have all of it. All of we have a heart for America, we have a heart for nations, and he's taking care of that fear.

SPEAKER_00 2:54

And so, you know, as you guys have seen in India, we had just a wild time, uh, to put it lightly. And um, hopefully, there's a lot of people on here. I know there's a lot of our friends tuning in from India. This is a nation that we love. Um, my birthday is actually on Indian Independence Day, so it's almost like God has fashioned that love for that nation in my heart. I don't like spicy food that much. I've gotten a little better. Yeah, we always get sick, we always get sick, it's always difficult. It's not the easiest place to do uh to anything to do anything in. But um, but yet it's a place that we have a heart for. And our kids love it, our kids love it, they've been there. Uh, what we experienced on this trip is not anything I've experienced in all of my prior visits, which has been a lot. Yeah, um, I feel like that God is somehow using this similar to the way that He used Canada last year. If you guys remember that, uh, just for those that weren't aware, we went to Canada to do a 12-city like you have done many, many, many, many times, many, many times before.

SPEAKER_05 3:56

We are not looking for drama.

SPEAKER_00 3:57

We're not looking for we we didn't change our strategy, we didn't change the way we did things, we didn't change the way we shared things. And in Canada, we just something we disturbed a spirit, and it was crazy. We got canceled, we got threats, threats, we got attacked inside of a church, and yet God has used it in unbelievable ways to open the eyes of people to the uh hatred of Christians and really the uh targeting of the church in that nation. So, in the same way that that happened last year, I feel like God has used this trip to India this year in that way, even to the degree that I didn't really fully understand. And um, you know, just to make it really sure, there's so much we want to cover on this show. There's a lot we want to cover. So stay here, put your seatbelt on. We're gonna go through a lot of things tonight. Um, but first we want to start with just thanking everybody that prayed for us. Some of you guys saw that we were going through a difficult time, we're being interrogated, it was crazy. Uh, a lot of threats, still a lot of threats. And you guys prayed for us.

SPEAKER_05 5:04

Yeah, honestly, it is what keeps us going. I mean, it I I never really realized how important it was to have people praying for us. For so many years, we've had people praying for us, but since 2020, I have realized that is why we are still here.

SPEAKER_00 5:20

We are still alive and well and thriving and yeah, yeah, and and married and doing great.

SPEAKER_05 5:29

And I just really we cannot say thank you enough for the people that I get stopped all the time in airports and restaurants and and where we live. People just saying, Hey, I've been praying for you. And I'm like, Thank you so much. Like, don't ever feel like it's a bother to tell me that because it is what reminds me. I get emotional just thinking about it. Like it means so much. So thank you, honestly. And we need all the prayers because it's so so wild, like what we're up against, and I it blows my mind every day the amount of hate coming at um at us for just doing what we feel called to do and what we've always done. Like you said, we've not changed our strategy, we're just doing what we've always done, and it is unbelievable the amount the pushback.

SPEAKER_00 6:18

Yeah, yeah. I mean, we really like we it was such an incredible trip to be able to go and help dedicate this amazing building that so many of you out there uh have been praying for, been helping us with, and and just serving these beautiful children that we love so much uh that we've been talking about. It was really like a life highlight for us to be there and and be in that moment together and um and then to be unexpectedly like lambasted by these immigration officials that were targeting us to be interrogated, to be uh held basically for hours and hours and hours. And um, you know, and God prevailed, you know, we were able to work through things, but it was touch and go there for a while. And it still is for a lot of our friends and our leaders and people there in the nation. Um, they're they're facing some pushback. And I mean, let me just tell you this without going into too many specifics, it it's right now uh India ranks as number 11 on pretty much every list out there. I'll I'll throw this up there, this graphic up there, so you guys can see it. It ranks as number 11 in the world um as the most persecuted uh nation in the world. And um, let me see if I can get the right graphic. There it is. So you can see World Watch list, India number 11. Uh it's a place where there's a lot of persecution. In fact, um not only is it ranked number 11, not only are churches burned and and people killed, and there's and this is verified stuff, uh, but yesterday uh was actually the one-year anniversary of this pastor who's a very well-known uh prev Praveen. Uh, I I this guy was just a hero in in south of India, and he he died, uh he was he he was killed um literally a year ago, and all this mystery surrounding his death, and and you know, every single person that has seen what we have endured, uh I mean there's one or two reactions. One is from the extremists, you know, that say things like this, which this is just one of many things that we've seen. We'll find her a new Indian Christian husband after she becomes a widow. But by the way, on the right-hand side, that's the Stain family. This is the family that was burned alive by Hindu extremists uh in their car. And uh, so they're very proud. These extremists are very proud of that moment. And obviously, comparing me on the left with my wife in the plane. Um, I mean, this is just we're getting so there's literally thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of comments. They're horrific. Um, but at the same time, people are also it's a it's a moment of awakening, even so much so that at the White House today, this issue was brought up. And thank God. I mean, we are so grateful. This is one of the reasons we prayed so hard that President Trump would be elected in this current administration because they're they are not tolerating Christian persecution. And a big part of what this journey that I feel like we're on this year is to expose this, you know, all over the world. And I'm gonna be going to Nigeria in a couple days. I want to talk about that a little bit later. Going to Ghana, be going to, you know, other places in the Middle East. We have a team right now that's in Iraq. They're seeing missiles come over their head from Iran every single day. Um, God has put us in this position to blow a whistle, to bring awareness, just like we did in Canada, and we're doing it right now in India. And so many of you out there are sharing your stories. You're feeling, you know, encouragement and boldness from you know the things that we're sharing, and and and we're encouraging you to share your stories. And because at the root of it all, you know, India is a nation that obviously they need the U.S. support for trade, uh, for for all kinds of things, and they are trying to appeal to the world as if all religions can exist there. And we know that's not the truth. Uh, we know that uh that that Christians are targeted, we know that pastors are imprisoned, we know that people are beaten, we know that uh there's certain places across the nation where it's illegal for people to follow Jesus. Um, we know that this is happening, and this is what we're hitting on. Like I said before, our methods haven't changed.

SPEAKER_05 10:37

No.

SPEAKER_00 10:38

You know, what we've been doing there hasn't changed. What we've been sharing from there hasn't changed. What's changed is that this spirit is being exposed right now. And the whole world's seeing it.

SPEAKER_05 10:51

Yeah, and it was quite a surprise, to be honest.

SPEAKER_00 10:54

Yeah, I mean, maybe Kate, you can just talk about how that was for you.

SPEAKER_05 10:59

Honestly. It was very funny. They said just be, you know, at peace. And I'm like pulling off all my nails, like, but it was wild to just watch you just do what you're created to do. You were had boldness and courage, and you preach about this from stages that that anyone could preach from a stage, it could be easy, but you like really were living it out, and it was remarkable to experience, to be honest. Um, I may have failed that pop quiz of learning to just be at peace in the middle of the mystery, but um I mean, I think that you know, this just goes to show you it's like we have to be prepared.

SPEAKER_00 11:43

I mean, we're obviously not looking for controversy, not at all, at this point in our life. But the gospel comes with a cost. And, you know, following Jesus comes with a cost. And people, there's pastors and leaders and and and warriors in India that follow Jesus that deal with this stuff every single day. And it doesn't even compare to what we encountered. No, and so we just need to pray for them. We need to one, raise awareness, and two, we need to be people that pray and support them. And so I just want to encourage you for all of you know, uh, all the stuff that's going on over there and that we're involved with, we need your prayer, we need your support. And we're gonna keep fighting, we're gonna keep uh illuminating the darkness and exposing things. And we're gonna do it from the White House, we're gonna do it from the church house, we're gonna do it from a podcast studio, and we're gonna do it from the ground in India. Um, I uh, you know, I feel like it's also important for us to understand that we're living like we are living in days of great spiritual warfare. And if that has not clicked in you yet, some of you guys may, you know, out there may be like, I feel something, I feel intense. We are living in these days of it, it is activated right now. I mean, there is so level 10, there is so much warfare around the people of God because and take India, for example, just to hit on this one more time, the church is exploding across that nation. I mean, it is the harder they persecute, the more that they press in, just like Iran. You know, you see what what's happening there, it like the church explodes, it grows, it duplicates. You cannot stop the kingdom of God, it will not be stopped. Right, and that is what angers uh the darkness and the enemies of God the most, is that they cannot stop the spread of an unstoppable kingdom.

SPEAKER_05 13:29

Right. And that's honestly where we came up with light a candle, because we're like, it is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.

SPEAKER_00 13:35

Yeah, just go and do and be a light and support and be just and don't and don't let this don't let this story and the things that we encounter like bring fear or discourage you. Like, I I I want to I if anything, like that's not my heart. Um, we're not here playing the victim. We're not here, like we want to tell you, no, God is overcoming, like God is looking for people to rise up and be bold. And you know, that's why I was reading Mark 16, like like the Great Commission is our calling. Like we go into dark places, right? Just like in COVID, you guys know that we you go into places of sickness, you go into places of darkness. We don't retreat to the suburbs, we don't retreat to the safe places of America. I get a lot of people like, why don't you focus on America? And no, no, no. And I'm like, Well, this is what Mark 16 says it says, Go into all the world, right? And so we're gonna follow the words of Jesus. I don't care, you know, there's some even some of the America first crowd, they hate it how much missions I do. Why don't you focus on? By the way, we do more in America than most missions or most uh uh ministries that I know. Yeah, like we do more in America, and we're gonna talk about that soon, but the nations is our calling as well.

SPEAKER_05 14:44

Oh, yeah. I signed up for it. I knew what I was getting myself into all those years ago.

SPEAKER_00 14:48

You didn't know what you're getting yourself into, and we're still doing it, we're still doing it, and you know, the the spirit, the warfare, I just want to ask you because Kate's actually got to go pick our kids up or take our kids to some sporting, I don't know. We we we have four kids in sports, guys. It's it's it's a lot. So when we get home, there's no no rest days, you know, we're fighting jet lag and dropping kids at baseball. What would be one of your like as people out there are feeling the spiritual warfare, they're feeling the intensity, they're you know, maybe spending too much time doom scrolling. What what's your encouragement at being being on the front lines and then being back here as a mom?

SPEAKER_05 15:25

Yeah. Well, I think so often we see we doom scroll and we see uh it feels almost too overwhelming, like the the evils too big, the darkness is too dark. Um, it can be almost like shut people down. I know that's how I have felt in the past. And my I guess my number one piece of advice would be to get in the word. I mean, this year we're doing a Bible program together and we're reading like double the amount a day than I've ever read before, but is the only thing that is fighting against the spirit of fear and and bringing peace and renewing my mind every single day, reminding me how this ends, um, reminding me what we're called to, reminding me that we aren't to be like the world, that we are not to be liked by everybody. Um, and then also help and pray and and just get involved. I mean, sometimes you could see like what's happening all over the world and you feel so sad. Sometimes it's just helpful to like sponsor a child. Yeah. Or, you know, like get involved in go on a trip. Go on a trip. I mean, this is the the the story of our life. We never want to preach fear. Um, and it has been so incredible to watch God just help lead us on our journey across the Middle East and our leaders that are in Iraq right now. I mean, they're they're choosing to stay. Yeah, they're choosing with their kids, they're living in peace, they're they're promoting the gospel, like the true gospel.

SPEAKER_06 16:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 16:52

And I guess, you know, it's just we're putting it to test.

SPEAKER_00 16:56

Like if this is what we signed up for, we better believe that we can and and all and also realizing that there's there's always layers of resistance. Like when God calls, I tell people this, you guys know if you've ever heard me preach, I talk about, you know, if you want everyone to like you and you don't want to have any controversy, then sell ice cream.

SPEAKER_06 17:13

Right.

SPEAKER_00 17:14

But if you want to follow Jesus and do big stuff, get ready and buckle up because you're gonna face the smoke. Yeah, you're gonna face governments that are hostile, you're gonna face, you know, friends that turn their back on you, you're gonna face journalists that lie and slander about you, Christian journals, which is gonna go to my next point here in a minute. Um, like that, all that stuff's gonna happen. And you have to withstand, you have to have enough courage and boldness to withstand those attacks that come directly contradicting the call of God on your life.

SPEAKER_06 17:43

Right.

SPEAKER_00 17:44

Like it actually doesn't a lot of people, I think in America, they have this theology where, well, maybe that means I shouldn't do this. Actually, it means you should.

SPEAKER_05 17:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:52

Actually, it means you're over the target, actually, it means you're in the right place. Actually, it means we need to double down in India.

SPEAKER_05 17:58

Right.

SPEAKER_00 17:59

You know, and we need to to see God move in even greater ways there. So, you know, that that's that's part of our family motto is we don't back down for nothing, you know, we double down. Right. When we feel God move and we feel layers of resistance, we double down. And so I am going to uh there is a we did a tour called the Kingdom of the Capitol tour. And we did this in 2023, 2024. It's probably one of our most ambitious uh projects that we've ever done, most expensive, most exhausting, most difficult. We brought worship and prayer and revival and communion to all 50 U.S. capitals. And here's the thing we can tell you from our ministry if God told us to do something, we're going to do it.

SPEAKER_05 18:43

100%.

SPEAKER_00 18:44

We're going to do it. And we always do what we say that we're going to do. That is such a huge thing. And I really want to hit on that because, you know, if you're so many of you guys are uh praying for us, standing with us, donating to us, you can know for sure.

SPEAKER_06 18:59

Right.

SPEAKER_00 19:00

We will follow through. We have more activity, more testimonies, more proof that we're doing what God told us to do. And so we uh I want to I want to roll this clip. Um, one, because I have an amazing announcement, but two, I just want to remind you there's been some you know stuff out there that's saying that you know uh people either either gave money or were a part of this tour and we didn't do it. And I just want to say, no, no, we actually did.

SPEAKER_05 19:26

Right.

SPEAKER_00 19:27

And we did 50 US capitals. We did all 50.

SPEAKER_05 19:31

And blood, sweat, and tears.

SPEAKER_00 19:32

We raised the money, took the time, we got the permits, we got the fines, we got the smoke, right, and we did it.

SPEAKER_05 19:40

And our family sacrificed more than I can say with words to make that happen. A lot of sacrifice, a lot of sacrifice, a lot of sacrifice.

SPEAKER_00 19:49

So, what I want you to do is just watch this quick video, um, and I want you to be encouraged. This is just, this is one of our greatest, or just so grateful, God's faithfulness. Here, here it goes.

SPEAKER_01 20:04

Probably the most impossible, and probably most ridiculous, and probably most expensive, and probably something that's never been done before, and probably shouldn't have ever been done before, but God is calling us to do it. We're bringing the kingdom to the capital of every city across the land. You're gonna get breakthrough in Capitol City after Capitol City as you gather together on your knees taking communion. Because the blood of Jesus is enough.

SPEAKER_00 24:02

Wow. I get so emotional, honestly, anytime I watch that. For those that may be just joining in, that was the Kingdom to the Capitol recap video. Uh reminding everybody, myself, about God's faithfulness in 2023, 2024, where we took the mandate of going to all 50 U.S. capitals and we did it. And um, I wanted to share that for a couple of reasons. One, there are so many lies and slander and propaganda. And here's the thing: if I took time to respond to every single hit piece article, if I took time to respond to every single slanderous accusation, I would literally not be able to do what God called us to do. We just got back from India. Two days, I'm leaving to Nigeria, then I'm going to Ghana. Then I'm coming back. Then we're, you know, it's then I'm going to Egypt. Like God has this calling on our life. And sometimes, you know, a lot, I know a lot of you guys want me to comment on every single accusation and every single thing that somebody says. And I used to be like that. I used to be super defensive and super like, I need to clear the air, I need to clear my name. And then the Lord really spoke to me one day, and he's like, No, it's my job to defend you. Stop trying to defend yourself against people that don't actually care and they just want to, you know, tear you down anyways. They're not going to be convinced. So, you know, there there have been some people that have said, hey, we we gave uh we whatever, and you you didn't do the 50 state tour. And I was like, no, we actually did. And there's the video that proves all 50 U.S. capitals. Well, I don't know if Sean really did, you know, the 40 cities that he said he was going to do last year. Actually, we did more than 50. Uh, well, I don't know if he actually, you know, was going to help with the make the Zion Center in India. Actually, we did. You know, we have an incredible success rate of following through on everything we say we're going to do. So if you're out there and you've donated and you've prayed and you've been a part of, you can be assured I have enough fear of God in my life that we are going to use every single ounce of our resources and and donations and support and prayers, and we are going to finish the work that God has called us to do, even if it hurts us. And that tour, it did hurt us. You know, we went into that thinking we were going to have a lot more support, thinking that it was going to be easy to gather pastors in capital cities, thinking that everybody would buy into the vision. Remember, this is the Biden era and a lot of animosity. It was a different climate, and it was difficult. You know, it was hard. It was, it was, but we did it. And I just think it's it's important to remember. I could I could try to go and defend every single accusation, or I could just say, look at the fruit. You know, there's not a ministry that I know of in America. Maybe there is, but I don't know of one that does more evangelistic outdoor meetings than we do, than we have over the last five, six years. That doesn't even include all the mission stuff. That doesn't even include, you know, the stuff that we do on Capitol Hill in DC, which by the way, I hear, you know, I heard that there's some people saying that I have a, you know, a my personal house in Washington, D.C. and everything. No, it's a house of prayer. It's called Kampala. Anybody can go there. We publish the the you know the address online. And just so you guys can understand, this is what I got in the mail yesterday. I want you to see this. This is really important. So this says notice of non-renewal. Notice of non-renewal. This is from my insurance company, Erie Insurance Company. And this is what it says. When this policy was written, you were conducting prayer meetings, counseling sessions, fundraisers, podcasts with a max of 12 people. Upon further review, we have found that that you are having more than 12 people more regularly, and that you are doing this and this and that. My own insurance company is canceling my policy, which I don't know how I'm gonna get another one, by the way. So pray with us. They're canceling the policy on our DC house of prayer because we have too many people there. There's too many people praying, there's too many people worshiping, there's too much activity that's happening, that our own insurance company is canceling the policy. Like, I could spend my time defending every little thing from these online trolls and hacks and slanderous, lying, accusatory people, or we could just keep doing what God's called us to do. And so I wanted to take a little bit of time here and just explain, maybe uh I could help you guys understand like how we're set up and why we do the things we're called to do. Like, yes, there are multiple lawsuits happening right now, by the way. Just so you know, there's a, there's we are in a season of lawfare. And uh it's kind of funny. I was talking to one of my friends today who's very high up politically, and I'm like, dude, I don't know ministry, I don't know, you know, people that deal with this. And he's like, Sean, give me a break, man. Like every single different level that you go, there's gonna be warfare, and this is called lawfare. This is that level. You are gonna deal with this probably for the rest of your life, as long as you stay consistent in this vision, like you are going to come against this. And a lot of my friends in that world, they allocate the cost of doing business, they allocate a certain amount of money and lawyers on retainer just to deal with all the stuff they have to have to confront. For me, this is new territory, but there are multiple lawsuits. There's one right now uh against the city Spokane. You guys know about that one, um, which is in appeals process in the state of Washington. There's several right now that are happening in Canada, which by the way, these are going to be massive wins for the church. Massive. I mean, what we encountered there, how we were attacked, how the police didn't do anything, the government's purposely shut us down because we're Christians. Like we said, no, no, no, we're rising up, like in the spirit of Paul, you know, like I Paul said, I am a Roman citizen and I have rights, you know? And for the sake of the church there, which many people in the church hated what we were doing. But even if they hated it, we want to fight for their freedom in that nation against tyrannical, oppressed government that is pushing down the church. Um, that's happening. There's also other ones that are taking place. And so these are happening a lot. And, you know, you could you could look at that and you could say a lot of people, well, I must be guilty of this and this and this. I can tell you one thing. Anything that's coming against us or or that's on a level where it's it's lying and slanderous, just watch. Just watch the storyline. Okay. I'm not gonna say a whole lot right now, but I'm just gonna say pay very close attention and you'll see how God brings victory through all this stuff. I want to share about our nonprofit classification because I really think this is important. And I'm sorry for some of you guys, this is probably super boring. And just I'm gonna get to the good stuff. Just hang with me. I'm gonna get to the really, really, really good stuff towards the end here. Um, but I want to talk quickly uh so that I can say this once and and and and people can take these clips, they can, you know, circulate it or share it with other people, which would be super helpful. There are three different nonprofits that we operate. Some of them operate with a 990, meaning that at the end of every year, there's a 990 that's published to the public. One of them does not have a 990. And the reason why we do not publish a 990 on that ministry is very simple. We were instructed by several law enforcement agencies, the US government, people with high up, you know, uh, they're smarter and wiser than me, that after 2020, we started getting so many threats, we started getting so many trolls and activists after us, so many people looking in to see who's donating, looking in to see who's playing drums with me so that they can cancel them. We had so many vendors pull out from things. Uh, and we were told to make sure that our sensitive information was not available, like donors, like the the flow uh of resources to places like India, places like uh Iraq, other places that we're doing a lot of stuff in. It's very, very, very vital that we're very careful with that. And so it has nothing to do with we're trying to hide something, we don't want to be no, nothing has changed. Literally, my salary hasn't changed. Like, like all of this stuff has stayed consistent. I'm still the only artist that I know. And there might be more out there. Hopefully, there's more out there, where all of my proceeds from all of my songs, which I have a ton of songs, you guys know that. I'm releasing an um, all of that goes into the ministry. So uh the ministry, it all of it goes in there to fund and do revival. Uh, same with my books, it all goes into the ministry. This is something that I set up back in the day because my heart was to do ministry. Now, at the same time, we also, I was in real estate and I um this is what I worked so hard for in college and university. I worked hard to get my real estate degree. We were able to get rental homes uh, you know, early on in our marriage that help subsidize the ministry component. So, you know, a lot of people, there, there's people out there, oh, he's hiding stuff. He's trying to, you know, no, we have very strict procedures. We have incredible accountants, we have an incredible board, we have great advisors, and God has really led us into this amazing season where we're able to do things like have a retreat place where we can bring people. We we did three, actually four retreats last year in Montana at a property up there, which has just been such a blessing for our missionaries and our long-term people. And and even, you know, Kate was able to do a woman's uh retreat there. I was able to do a men's retreat there. And we're gonna do more of that this summer as well. Um, we've been able to have the place in DC. We've been able to have different, you know, I encourage all ministries out there to own real estate and use it for the glory of God, use it for the kingdom. Um, I don't know why we're in this era where, you know, there's a lot there, there's one specific person. I'm not even gonna bring the name up, you know, he's just a worship leader. He shouldn't have, you don't I'm just a wort worship like you don't know anything about my history. Yes, I am a worship leader, but I also have a real estate company and I also have been doing this for a long time. And I also am actually pretty good at stewarding the resources that God's given us. That's why we can do so much ministry. I don't know if you guys have seen. We have a bus that sleeps 12 people, a massive bus. We have a truck with a million-dollar sound system in it that we travel across America and we have drivers, we have producers, we have band guys. We this is a massive entity that requires a lot of resources to continue to go. And God has been so faithful. So many of you out there have been really faithful. And I just want to encourage you like, I mean, this this is just kind of funny, goes to show you, like, we burn through our insurance policy. We can't even get insurance right now on our Kampala prayer house because we have too many prayer meetings there. You know, I can before God tell you like we are maximizing every single resource for the glory of God. And at the end of the day, I do not face the hacks and the trolls and the slanderous, lying, accusatory people. I face the Lord and I have confidence that I can face him with a pure heart for what we're doing with everything he's entrusted us to. So I just wanted to share that. Um, the the the it's very, very important that we are able to protect. We have, I I have probably over uh, I would say probably over 500 death threats uh to me and my family, even just the last couple days. Um it has ramped up to another level. I showed you guys some earlier in the show. I've posted a lot of them on X. I mean, and threats against our team, threats against, we've had our bus attacked, we've had been attacked inside of churches. Like it is so important. There's maybe other ministries where they can just let all of that info go out there with us. We can't. And if that doesn't make you feel uncomfortable, I tell people all the time, like, be a cheerful giver. If that causes you concern or you don't want to, you know, you don't like, you don't think there's enough transparency, give somewhere else. Um, but I think it's obvious that we have shown that we're gonna we're gonna take amazing care of the resources that God's given and we are gonna do everything that He's called us to do. There's nothing that I haven't fundraised for that we haven't done. And so I am, I'm I'm very grateful, I'm very thankful, but I just I think it's important for people to understand the dynamics that are at play here. And I do not like to get into back and forth, make a statement and then make a video, then they make a video, and then we make a video. It's like, why are we doing all this? We're doing ministry, we're doing what God called us to do. We were just on the ground in India. I'm going to Nigeria this week. I'm actually going to Santa Fe, New Mexico on Friday, which I can't wait. Uh, the king, the uh Roots of Revival tour is happening this Friday in Santa Fe, New Mexico, next to the oldest church in America. Um, it's gonna be so fun. Then I get on a plane to Nigeria and I get to fight for the persecuted church there. Um, I wanted to just share quickly here um the the statistics on the persecuted church. Some of you guys may not know. Um, in Nigeria, the Islamic terrorist group, Boko Haram, uh, they uh they've 22 Christians are killed and 25 kidnapped daily. According to monitoring groups, 22 Christians are killed every day, 25 kidnapped every day in Nigeria. In 2025 alone, Islamic terrorists killed approximately 8,222 Christians for their faith and kidnapped over 8,400. Nigeria now accounts for about 80% of all Christian kidnappings worldwide. And these attacks have displaced over 1,000 and 50,000 Christians. So guys, I get the privilege and the enormous honor of being on the ground in Nigeria on Palm Sunday. I'm taking a red eye through the night. By the way, not that I need to prove anything, always buy economy tickets. I mean, I I don't have to, but I do, right? Because I want to be a good steward. You guys, anybody that's seen me travel, you know, unless I get a free upgrade, I'm sitting in economy and I'm willing to do that uh as long as my back and body's good. So I'm still in good shape. Um, but I'm getting on a plane and I'm landing on Palm Sunday morning, and we are going to be with the persecuted church. And God has, I can't tell you everything about what we're gonna do and and the timeline, but just pay attention. God is opening some big doors. And I believe, you know, we have held the Crimes Against Christian Summit at the U.S. Capitol with senators, members of Congress. We had um Mark uh uh uh what's his name? Mark there, who is now the ambassador of religious freedom uh that Trump just uh he put him into place. Uh, we've been praying for him for that position. He was there with us. So I'm essentially God has given me favor, I believe, in the government realm so that I can tell them what's really happening. So in India, but also in Nigeria and also in other parts of the Middle East. So it's really cool how we're in this kind of full circle moment where we're not just able to do stuff in the US and fight for um, you know, what, fight for revival in our nation, but we're actually able to go around the world. And I told people when the president was elected, I'm like, this is the season we need to go hard with the gospel. We have the air covering and the support of an administration that will not tolerate Christian persecution from any government. And so we need to utilize this season and go hard for the gospel. This is why, you know, before May, I'll be in six nations around the world. It's because I want to push the envelope and I want to go hard. We got the victory from the Kingdom of the Capital tour breakthrough and capital by capital so that we could see a breakthrough across the world. So um I'm very, very excited to go to Nigeria to bring you guys a report. Um, I'm super excited for uh, you know, going to Ghana and this opportunity with the president there. And I'll share more about that as the time comes. Um, but you can just pray for us in our ministry. We're obviously uh the, you know, I believe this is the hour as I read the Great Commission for us to go hard for the gospel, but it's also an hour of the highest persecution, Christian persecution the world's ever seen. And our base in Iraq is locked down. I was supposed to be there with my family next month. We had plane tickets, locked down, all the tickets canceled. Our team can't leave. The airport's not open, there's missiles flying over them every day. Um, we had a team that was going to Israel again, a team of almost 60 people. That was canceled, obviously. Um, we have our team in India and what they're encountering now there today. So, you know, yes, there's great harvest, but there's great levels of resistance and persecution. So if you could pray for our team, you know, I'm gonna be highlighting some of these across the US at our events coming up uh this summer. Um so that brings me to maybe the most exciting um announcement that I've made in a long time. Um and I I want to start this off by saying that for the last six years in a row, we have had the privilege of bringing worship and prayer to the national mall. And uh this is the most sacred real estate in America. I mean, this is like, you know, right there between the Capitol and the Washington Monument, you know, uh close to the White House. This is the sacred real estate, and it is costly. Um, you know, I hear a lot of times people are like, Sean, do you really need to raise, you know, 100,000, 200,000, 300,000 to do a worship? Can't you just worship in your room? No, we want to give Jesus a costly sacrifice from the national mall. We want to be like the woman that that that came and poured out her finest at the feet of Jesus. And it caused even the disciples who are Jesus' best friends with all the great theology, they didn't understand true worship, pure worship when it was in their midst. And that's what we want to do, especially around the 250-year anniversary of our nation. We want to, and I know that they're doing, you know, all kinds of stuff, they're doing NASCAR events, they're doing, you know, uh F-16 fighter jets and fireworks and all this kind of stuff. And and and they're doing uh, you know, Dana White, they're setting up their whole thing there in front of the the White House. But when I was on the phone with the White House, I said, if there's one thing I want to do, it's worship. I want to do worship, I want to do a worship tour across America called Roots of Revival, where we go to all the significant places of historical awakenings and revival in America, and we redig those wells again. And so this is so exciting because we have the privilege to partner with the Freedom 250, uh so many other groups, and host a gathering uh on May 16th. This will be our seventh year in a row. You want to talk about striking the ground seven years in a row. This is gonna be our seventh year in a row on Saturday, May 16th. I want you all to write that down. If there's one event to come to to celebrate America 250, our nation's 250th birthday, it is this one. And it's happening on May 16th on the National Mall. The night before a million people gather and we rededicate America to God. The president's gonna be at that, the vice president, uh, you know, very you know, leaders from all over the world are coming in for that. That's on May 17th, but the night before we Get to set the tone with let us worship. This is the most incredible open door, guys. I I am so thrilled. I am so honored. I am so excited. And so I want to throw this graphic up there uh so that you can see it. Uh Washington, D.C., May 16th, 4 p.m. on the National Mall. You can see that uh, you know, the Freedom 250 logo, the Let Us Worship logo. It is happening. It is happening, and it is going to be amazing. And we're going to take that sound system that we've traveled to all 50 U.S. capitals and we've traveled to across the world and we are going to set it up. It is an anointed sound system, man. I'm telling you, there's not been a sound system that is traveled more across America and been used more for the kingdom. Again, circling back to using resources for the glory of God. We have this monster system we've used across America and we're using it again, and it is going to be incredible. So that's going to be taking place May 16th on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. You do not want to miss that. It's going to be the night before the 17th, which is the rededicate America event. So that's going to be very, very exciting. Also, I want to highlight this as well. As I'm about to close here, I want to highlight this as well that I have a brand new book coming out called No Turning Back. And I'm so excited. This is uh called Living as a Faithful Witness Until the Last Day. This is my really my book on spiritual warfare. Um, guys, I have poured my blood, sweat, and tears into this. And again, to me, this is not, hey, Sean needs to, you know, pay his electricity bills so he writes another book. No, no. I only books take way too long. I only write when there's a mandate. I only write when there's an urgency. I only write when I really feel like this is the word of the Lord over this season. And I started writing this last year and finished it actually the week, the week I was finishing the writing was when uh Charlie Kirk was assassinated. And so I dedicate this to the martyrs of of our day. And um, this is basically a book on how to navigate this season of spiritual warfare and end times. And you know, when I was writing it, I was thinking, you know, 2025 is is pretty intense and whatever, not realizing what was to come in 2026, not realizing this war, not realizing the online uh chaos and confusion and division and slander and strife in the Christian community, in the conservative movement and outside. And so I uh I I I want you can jump on. I think it's available for pre-order on Amazon. If you go to Amazon, you type in Sean Foy, No Turning Back, you should find it and pre-order it. It's going to be coming out in May. And we're we're very, I'm very excited. There's there's been no other book that I've invested my guts into more than this one. So uh No Turning Back is out. Again, I want to highlight uh, you know, May 16th on the National Mall in DC. And, you know, I want to just say this uh pray for our guys, pray for our guys in India. Uh pray for our guys, you know, all over the world, pray for my wife. Some of you that maybe you jumped onto the show late. My wife shared in the beginning part about our trip to India. Um, we're under a lot of fire. And um I was talking to my buddy in the FBI, you know, because they're monitoring all of these threats. There's a file uh on us right now that is being monitored, thank God, um, for all the threats that we're getting. And we're not making this up. It's not like we're not trying to drum up drama and we're not playing the victim. We're just saying the reality is, you know, I have four kids, I travel like a lot, and we do outdoor events. So we're always exposed. And, you know, I feel like the safest place to be, you guys know this, the safest place to be is always in the center of God's will. But I know that prayer, the prayers of the righteous availeth much. So I would, in closing, sure, we would love for you to help us sponsoring a kid, going on a mission trip, helping us with these events, the the in the amount of resources. And you know, it is it is frustrating to me too. Like, you know, the whole goal of the enemy is to try to damage a reputation or a ministry or whatever to get people not to trust and to get people not to give. And uh, you know, uh we just we have to trust the Lord because he's called us to do these crazy things, and we have to trust him that he's gonna provide and he has provided. But we would love for you guys to partner with us and be a part of that. There's numerous ways you can give um any of our websites you can give as well and be a part of that. Um, but uh in closing, I want to just read this verse in Ephesians 6. Um man, I just I feel this. I feel this so strong. I mean, even right now, I feel I feel the presence of God even right now for those that are watching, and I think some of you may uh out there maybe think this is weird, but but I'm I'm telling you, there's something about this season where we have to armor up. Um it says in Ephesians 6, finally be strong in the Lord. I was on a call today earlier with my some of my friends in India that are under duress right now because of all this stuff that's been happening. Um, and by the way, just to recap quickly, you know, we we haven't done anything different there than on any past trips. Um, it's not like we messed up or made a mistake or did it, like we literally have been consistent for years and years and years. It's just the fact that we're being successful and that God is moving and the powers of darkness hate it. Um, but we've read the end of the book, we know who wins in the end. So Ephesians 6, it says, finally be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power, put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood. And this is important to remember, even when it comes down to the spirit of some of these divisive lying, slandering, podcasting folks, um the battle's not against them. It's a spiritual war that we're in. And the enemy will use any anyone who has a motive in their heart that's not surrendered to God. Um again, you know, it it's it's it's the last days. It's a time where brothers turn against brothers and the church turns against the church. We saw this in COVID. I mean, gosh, the big some of the biggest resistance we faced was not just Antifa and governments that were hostile, it was church people. It was Christians that didn't like us worshiping outdoors without a mask on. Um, people were crazy then, and you know what? In many ways, they're even crazier now. Um, so the battle is is not against flesh and blood, and me and my wife have to remember that all the time, we tell each other, but against the rulers, against the authorities, and against the powers of the dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, put on the full armor of God so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand. Stand your ground. And after you've done everything to stand. Stand firm then. Don't cow, don't retreat. Stand firm then with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the blessed plate of righteousness in place, with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. It's interesting, all of the armor of God listing in here, all of it is forward facing. None of it is backwards facing. In other words, what that means is that all of the resistance we face is because we're moving forward. Like none of it has like a back plate, none of it has like protecting the back, protecting the back of your legs, protecting the back of your head. No, no, it's all forward facing, meaning that we're we're called to continually move forward. Do not back down, move forward. With your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith from which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God, and pray in the spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayer requests. I want to I want to just say that. I'll leave you guys with this, and then I'm gonna pray over you. Thank you for joining with me, my first ever live stream show. Um, it's probably not as cool as the other ones with all the graphics and all the things, but it feels really authentic to me. Um, it's important to be praying in the spirit. If you're more connected to this and doom scrolling, and that's the big problem, is there's a whole bunch of Christians going around and just, oh, who's in trouble now? What can we say now? Oh, let's comment. Uh, it's like tearing down, tearing down. People get joy and glee out of destroying other people. It is so bizarre. It's kind of like get a life, bro. Like build something, do something. Go take a mountain for Jesus, go take a nation, get on a plane. Like people are being critical of the way we we do missions or we do this, or we go into cities. You do something. You know, it's easy to criticize and play armchair quarterback. It's a lot more difficult to actually go and do something. Drop your excuses and your criticism and your skepticism and follow the voice of God in your life. And if you do that, you will not have time to be critical online and to be drawn into endless conspiracies that consume your attention, cause you to be offended, and cause your heart to grow car grow hard. So pray in the spirit on all occasions. Um, stay in the place of prayer, stay in the place where you're connected to the Lord, even now more than ever. That is just so vital. This is what my wife was saying. Our Bible reading times are sacred as a couple, as a family. We we we are very intentional on making sure that we do not skip days, that we are consistent because it does matter. It does change. We've seen the atmosphere in our home change, with our kids change, and it's something that that God's called us to do. So let me pray over you. Thank you for uh letting me go almost an hour here. And I would encourage you if you jumped on late, go back and watch the beginning part again. This Friday uh will be in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This Sunday, I will be on the ground in Nigeria, providing the visa comes through, which I believe it will. Um, I will be on the ground in Nigeria for Palm Sunday, and then you'll see later on, I'll be in Ghana as well. Very, very excited about what God's doing there. Um, can't wait to give you guys a really good report and really expose you to, you know, the, you know, it's easy to see, you know, to kind of flip through the horror stories of what's happening in Nigeria. It's another thing to see it in in person and be wrecked. And and I I just I have to go. I have to be a voice. I have to rise up for those people there. So um uh thank you for praying for us. And then obviously, uh, we're really, really excited to kick off the Roots of Revival tour and to drive a stake in the ground over our nation. Um, we are going to be hosting some of the biggest worship events outdoor at historical places all over America. If you want to know how to get involved or how to be connected to those, you can text the number, uh, you can text the word roots. I don't think I have a slide for this. Roots R-O-O-T S to uh roots, R-O-O-T S to the number two zero two two one. So roots to the number two zero two two one, and we will uh get you um that's not it. We will get you uh plugged in so that you know when we're coming. We're coming to Philadelphia right by the um Liberty Bell in in Independence Mall. We're coming to uh Gettysburg, we're coming to New York City, we're coming to Boston, we're coming to Northampton, uh, we're coming to the Chicagoland area. We're coming, man, there's so many amazing places we're coming to. I can't think of them all right now, but we would Tampa next month. I'm pumped about that. Uh so we'd love for you guys to be a part of that and to join us. It's gonna be a historic year of revival. Um so, Lord, I just thank you for um this platform and this opportunity. Everybody that listens to this, I pray that they would be encouraged, that they would be enlightened, that they would be stirred. Lord, let us be a people of prayer and a people of hope in these crazy days of uncertainty and war and rumors of wars and division and chaos and slander and strife. God, that we would be people of joy, that we would be people that rise above the noise, that we would be people of prayer, and that we would be people firmly grounded, grounded in the word of God. God bless everybody and thank you for joining. Please share this with everybody out there. I will be coming to you. I'm praying I can come to you live from Nigeria uh this weekend. That would be my heart. Um, I I hope and I hope that you guys are able to join in and pray with me from the ground. So stay tuned. Breakthrough hour. Thanks for joining me.
