I have been watching what God is doing on college campuses this year, and Lakeland keeps coming up. In February, students at Southeastern University stayed in Bush Chapel for about ten days. They queued overnight. They prayed. They stayed, night after night. In September, SEU Worship released Found in the Field, a live album recorded in that chapel. The record is how the rest of us get to hear what those nights sounded like.

Ten days the chapel stayed open
In February 2026, after SEU Conference carried the theme Do it Again, Bush Chapel held extended worship, prayer, and response for about ten days, roughly February 9 to 20. People waited overnight. Undergraduates treated class week as interruptible.
Found in the Field captures the incomparable treasure of knowing Jesus, a discovery so abundant and joyful it makes trading everything else for Him the easy choice. It speaks to staying rooted in His presence, where recognizing our deep need for God doesn't leave us empty, but only deepens our hunger for more of Him.

I keep that line. Hunger that deepens. Then come the next 14 Tuesdays.
What a live chapel record actually is
I played piano, saxophone, and keyboards, and I studied music technology at Oral Roberts University. A thirteen-track live album cut in a chapel that was never staged as a studio is a production story. You are capturing bleed, crowd, and a night that will not repeat. That is why a live cut sounds different from a studio worship record. The air in the room is on the tape.
SEU Worship already had a large public profile. What A God has passed 150 million lifetime streams. The group is a 2026 Dove New Artist of the Year nominee. The streams explain why a live record gets covered. Students still slept in a line.
Southeastern sits in Lakeland, Florida, affiliated with the Assemblies of God. President Kent Ingle. Fall 2025 headcount about 13,636. Lakeland undergraduates about 2,200. That is the chapel that stayed open.
Young adults who are increasing church attendance name prayer as a top reason they come. The full Barna figures are in the worldwide piece.
PRO TIP The album came out of a chapel that stayed open. Open a Psalm in the Bible app inside the WWJD.COM SuperApp and read it before you press play.
After Bush Chapel empties
A 10-day chapel is a gift. The lasting part is whether those same students still want God when the line is gone. If you were in that chapel in February, keep showing up. If you know a student who was there, ask them about it, then ask who they are walking with now.
Put the album on. Then live it. Lakeland is one campus in a larger season.
How to respond
- Listen to Found in the Field as a document of a chapel.
- If you are near Lakeland, ask an SEU student what those ten days cost them, then what they kept.
- Pray for chapel, student life, and SEU Worship.
- Sit with one student this week and ask what God is doing in their actual week.
