A failed political candidate, Sean Feucht's motivation appears to be to draw attention to himself. He held a so-called worship protest in Nashville at a time when the COVID-19 coronavirus was resurging in that city and Tennessee's rural counties were particularly hard hit by the virus. Few people who attended that gathering wore face masks or social distanced. It is reasonable to believe that a number of people who attended the gathering were infected with the virus and spread the virus to the gathering's other attendees. The virus infections in my county began surging not long after the gathering. Whether there was a link between the gathering and the surge of infections, I do not know. Circumstantial evidences suggests that there might have been. Feucht claims that he is seeking to bring about a revival. He overlooks one important thing: God brings about revivals, not men.
