Spiritual Leader Accused Of Major Misconduct
Activist and worship leader Sean Feucht, known for his strong advocacy of Christian leadership in American public life, is facing serious accusations from former staff members of his ministries. These individuals allege misconduct on spiritual, moral, and financial fronts, based on their firsthand experiences. The claims were published on a website called Truth and Freedom Stories, which seeks to document what it describes as longstanding issues involving Feucht and the religious organizations he leads.
Feucht gained national attention during the COVID-19 pandemic by organizing public worship events through his Let Us Worship movement. Former associates involved with his ministries—including Burn 24/7, Light a Candle, and Let Us Worship—have now come forward to express concerns over his leadership. The group behind the allegations includes former directors and administrative staff who worked closely with Feucht. In a collective statement, they called for his removal from leadership roles, citing a need for accountability and transparency in accordance with biblical principles.
Financial mismanagement is at the heart of many of the claims. The former staff allege that Feucht’s ministry experienced a dramatic revenue increase of over $5 million in 2020 and subsequently changed its tax classification in 2022 to a church—thereby avoiding certain public financial disclosures. They also questioned the interrelated business dealings of Feucht’s various organizations, noting blurred lines between personal and nonprofit property ownership. Reports of his personal real estate portfolio—allegedly including 10 properties across multiple states—fueled concerns about the potential misuse of nonprofit funds.
The group also raised alarms about improper financial practices, such as mishandling donations, credit card misuse, and suspicious cash transactions. They questioned the accuracy of public filings and expressed concern about foreign activities not properly disclosed, including a child sponsorship program in India. A portion of their report is dedicated to accusations of spiritual abuse, manipulation, and retaliation against those who spoke out, as well as the exploitation of unpaid volunteers.
Calling for an independent audit, the group urged an investigation into how ministry funds have been used—particularly regarding real estate purchases and the legitimacy of the organization’s church reclassification. They emphasized that these issues transcend administrative technicalities, reflecting core concerns about integrity and ethical governance in nonprofit religious organizations. If proven, the accusations could signify serious breaches of both legal standards and the public trust placed in faith-based institutions.
