Lighthouse Daily – 10th September 2026…
Good day, fellow citizens and brothers and sisters in Christ,
Today’s update is about a 4-minute read and introduces Part One of Paul S. Waugh’s new series: Lighthouse Global: In the Public Interest? (12-minute read)
Every day, we place trust in people and institutions. We trust them with information, judgement, authority, reputation, money, safety and sometimes the direction of our lives. Yet how often do we stop and ask why that trust exists — or what would cause us to reconsider it?
Today we invite you to begin that examination.
If you are new to our work at Lighthouse Global and want to understand why the Establishment attacked us, click below to read a statement from our CEO and founder, Paul S. Waugh.
1. Body of Christ Zero Degrees of Separation and Last Days Critical To-Do List
Whom Are We Allowing to Shape Our Judgement?
“The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.” — Proverbs 14:15 (NIV)
Trust is necessary. None of us can personally verify every fact, master every field or live without depending on others. But necessary trust must never become careless surrender of the conscience and judgement God has given us.
As Christians, we must be willing to ask whether our confidence rests on truth — or merely on familiarity, status, repetition, reassurance or fear. A respected title does not make every conclusion right. A confident presentation does not make every claim complete. Equally, public suspicion or condemnation does not prove that a person is false.
This is not a call to distrust everyone. It is a call to become more responsible before God for how we trust, whom we trust and what we entrust to them.
2. Lighthouse Global: In the Public Interest?
Introducing Part One: Who Do You Trust — and Why?
“Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.” — John 7:24 (NIV)
Today we introduce Part One of Paul S. Waugh’s new series: Lighthouse Global: In the Public Interest? — Who Do You Trust, and Why?
Before this series examines powerful claims, institutions and evidence, it asks readers to begin closer to home. How is our trust formed? What makes a person or institution worthy of influence? What happens when truth threatens something we want to protect? And are we willing to apply the same standard to those we are aligned with as we apply to those who are our self-identified enemies?
This first part does not ask you to transfer your trust from one authority to another. It does not ask you to accept Lighthouse Global’s position because Lighthouse Global has stated it. That stance is the preserve of the Establishment, who demand your allegiance while forcing you to pay for it!
Instead, we invite you to examine the basis of your own confidence and prepare to approach the evidence with greater discipline, humility and responsibility.
This is because if our assumptions remain invisible to us, they can determine what we accept or reject before we have properly examined what is true.

3. Application and Moving Forward
Examine the Foundation Before Reaching a Verdict
“Test everything; hold fast what is good.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:21 (ESV)
Before reading, take a moment to identify one person or institution whose judgement you regularly rely upon.
With someone brought to mind, ask yourself the following questions:
- What are you trusting them for?
- Why do you consider them reliable?
- What evidence supports that confidence?
- What evidence, if discovered, would require you to revise it?
Then bring the same questions to Lighthouse Global, Paul S. Waugh and this series. Read neither defensively nor passively. Read with a willingness to test, distinguish, question and correct — including the willingness to discover where your own assumptions may have been incomplete.
Part One of this latest series prepares the ground for the examination ahead.
We invite you to read it prayerfully and carefully, without rushing to inherit anyone else’s verdict. Ask God for the courage to love truth more than familiarity, loyalty, comfort or reputation — and for the humility to change when truth requires it.
Note: Given Paul’s longstanding ill health resulting from the multiple Establishment attacks on him, these daily updates are generated by the team, drawing from recent and older meetings and what we are working with here at Lighthouse. We ask you to keep him in your prayers as he builds strength and renews in our Lord.
God bless,
Paul S. Waugh, Chris Nash and Shaun Cooper

When you say that we place our trust in people, I was raised to respect and listen to those who were older than me. Respect those in authority and in uniform, like the police. What you have been helping me to understand, this is all part of the establishment’s totalitarian control. Indoctrinating us to believe that whatever someone older, like a parent or teacher, says, this has to be correct and that we have to accept it. There are occasions when we need to listen to them for our own safety, but where does it stop?
I look forward to reading your new series. I am sure this is going to open my eyes further into the establishment’s control system…
What a powerful question: Who do you trust and why? For sure, it can be very hard to figure out whether we can trust someone or not. I know myself how much this is shaped by experiences from our upbringing, how hard it is to be objective about who to trust, and how much we make trust decisions by default.
This also brings up deeper questions in regard to trust, like: What do I base that trust on? There needs to be an ultimate reference point for trust and for truth. It’s humbling to know how Christ stood up for truth and challenged the Pharisaic system, even when it came at the ultimate cost: His own life.
True trust begins with knowing what, or rather who, is ultimately trustworthy. Thank you 🙏
“This is not a call to distrust everyone. It is a call to become more responsible before God for how we trust, whom we trust and what we entrust to them.”
I really appreciate this because I was NOT brought up to be discerning with trust and now to be liberated in the truth that it is responsible and necessary to question, what and who we trust and with certain information. Thank you.
This really resonated with me personally. I strongly agree with the call to examine why we trust people and institutions, rather than allowing familiarity, reputation or authority to shape our judgement without question. I especially appreciate that this is not a call to distrust everyone, but to take greater responsibility before God for what and whom we trust, while being willing to apply the same standard to Lighthouse itself. For me, the most powerful challenge is to love truth more than comfort, loyalty or familiarity, and to have both the courage to question and the humility to change when truth requires it.
Thank you for this. It really made me reflect on who I place my trust in and, more importantly, why. I’m increasingly learning how important it is to question, discern and seek the truth for myself rather than simply accepting something because it comes from a familiar or trusted source. Ultimately, I want my trust to be rooted in God and His truth above all else. God bless 🙏
I really value the way that these updates are empowering readers to be able to discern between fact and fiction. Before learning more about what trust is, it was something I found to be based purely on subjective reactivity.
Yet what updates like this are doing is teaching about the critical importance of discernment through asking powerful questions. There’s a lot that the BBC could learn from this.
I’ve been thinking a lot about Charlie Kirk today, on the anniversary of his assassination and thinking about what he stood for. I’ve been thinking about the fight between good and evil, what that means and looks like and how we as Christians have to look very carefully at what the Bible says and then look at the world and apply it as best we can. I think that this series is doing a great job at pointing out that the Public Interest is an incredibly loose term (not in its pure definition but in its use) which has been used to justify a whole lot of really negative, unhealthy and demonic things. We must remember we are fallen beings as well, and that our highest good is not always what we are pursuing, but it should be. As Hugh Grant said, what is of interest to the public is not always in the public interest.
And without a shadow of a doubt, the outrageous efforts to destroy Lighthouse as a company, reputationally, socially and everything else, is in no way in the public interest.
This a huge distinction that these posts have helped me with recently. That God IS Truth. So to ask God for the courage to love truth more than myself or any other person or thing is a huge step toward praising and loving God Himself.
