USA: An Unexpected Outpouring of Student Worship

Source: Crosswalk, February 16, 2026

An unexpected “outpouring” of worship and spiritual renewal at Southeastern University has extended for days beyond its scheduled conclusion, captivating students with an “unstoppable hunger” for spiritual connection.

An annual worship event at a Christian university in Florida that was scheduled to end February 11 was still going five days later, with students singing, repenting, and testifying to God’s goodness in what the school has dubbed an “outpouring.”

Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida held its annual “SEU Conference” at Lakeland’s Victory Church—but students on the final day did not follow the itinerary. The schedule went off script at the conclusion of author and speaker Jennie Allen’s teaching on Wednesday morning.

“There was a moment in the midst of the conference when the atmosphere shifted,” SEU President Kent Ingle told AG News. “All of a sudden, the raw responses of students sparked an outpouring of spiritual and emotional healing.”

Allen wrote on her Instagram page that day: “Classes cancelled. Worship. Prayer. Baptisms. Repentance. But honestly—it’s just God is here, and we don’t want to leave!”
