# Lou Engle
**Summary.** Lou Engle is a prayer-and-revival leader prominent in NAR-adjacent charismatic spaces. He founded TheCall (mass prayer-and-fasting rallies) and the Justice House of Prayer / Bound4Life, known for anti-abortion vigils at the Supreme Court (red "LIFE" tape over the mouth). Ex-member critics describe him as a connective figure moving across the revival circuit who repeatedly stages "revivals" that function as political mobilizations.

## Profile
- **TheCall / revival rallies.** Large stadium-and-Mall gatherings framed as prayer and fasting, often timed to political moments (e.g., a Jan 5, 2021 "rally for revival" before January 6).
- **JHOP / Bound4Life.** The Justice House of Prayer in DC ran Supreme Court vigils for the overturning of *Roe v. Wade*.
- **Jezebel / Jehu / "Elijah Revolution."** Co-authored material with [[Che Ahn]] popularizing an "Elijah Revolution" and Jezebel/Jehu framing. Critics note the violent source narratives behind this imagery and its later application to named political figures.

## Assessment for this wiki
Engle sits at the intersection of [[Spiritual Warfare Theology]], [[Dominionism]], and [[Christian Nationalism]]. The pattern critics name — revival language used to charge a crowd against a political enemy, with "Jezebel" applied to real people — is a [[DARVO]]-adjacent technique (recast the opponent as the demonic aggressor).
