11th May 2026 – Lighthouse Monday Update – Our First Open Letter to Lord David Hacking

Lighthouse Daily – 11th May, 2026…


Good day fellow citizens and brothers and sisters in Christ.

Today’s update is about a 10 minute read.

In this update:

  • Christ’s commission & end-times urgency — stay sober-minded, hopeful, and focused on His commands
  • Targeted from within (Christian Hacking response) — denial, dysfunction, and why we’ve written to his father Lord David Hacking
  • Targeted from the outside (language inversion) — how the Establishment demonises truth and falsely legitimises evil

1. Our Personal, Interpersonal & Global Commission from Christ: The Problems We Face and Solutions Needed

“Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.” – 1 Peter 1:13

We are very busy developing urgent work for the Body of our Lord. So a brief but important note today to reinforce the reality that we are in the very last days before the return of Jesus Christ and the demise of this fallen world.

Fear, scarcity, confusion and overwhelm can easily flood us to looking for security in this world.

We implore you to not let those fears drown you. God does not want us to be afraid of what’s happening. He wants us to be focused on Him; His commands and His commissions.

He wants us to do this with Him, in communion with Him —not alone.

2. Targeted from Within: The Greatest Threats to the Body of Christ from Inside

“Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.” – Ephesians 6:4

If you are not familiar with our investigation and case study into Christian Hacking, click on the arrow on the left for more context. If you are familiar already, continue reading below…
  • Christian Hacking presented himself to Lighthouse Global as a “very amateur” independent Christian journalist, and we initially aimed to support him as a brother or sister in Christ.
  • Lighthouse later concluded that Hacking had a vested interest in demonising us through toxic framing, needing Lighthouse to appear as a “cult” and Paul S. Waugh as a “cult leader”, despite what is extensive contrary evidence.
  • We believe this framing served Hacking’s amateur journalistic ambitions by creating a sensational “big scoop”, even if misleading, at our and Paul’s expense.
  • Due to Hacking’s deceptive intent, lack of professionalism, and limited audience or reach, we decided we could not work with Hacking.
  • Hacking sent Paul a set of 150 questions. These questions were biased, cynical, self righteous, and prosecutorial, demanding answers, despite Paul stating (26 Jan 2026, via audio message) that we could not work with Hacking.
  • At minimum this is a petty vendetta, and possibly signs of being a “media plant” connected to the BBC. Both Hacking and Hacking’s father David have praised the BBC.
  • If Hacking is smearing Christian communities as “cults” for personal agenda rather than genuine investigation, it must be challenged, hence our case study and linking it to the “Judas Syndrome” educational series.
  • This issue is larger than one individual. It is part of a wider, orchestrated “Establishment” strategy to brand close knit communities, and even businesses or parties, as alleged cults to control narratives and ostracise opposition.

This weekend, after two weeks of holding him personally accountable for his violations and damage caused to Lighthouse, we received our first reply from Christian Hacking.

We are stunned by his reply – sadly not in a good way:

“Please forgive me for not seeing this. But when was I invited to a debate?”

Despite the clear public accountability…

Despite other Christians who know Mr Hacking who have contacted us with prayerful support for our work…

He claims he was not aware of the fact that we have invited him to a live debate.

Notice, that Mr Hacking is not asking to take part in this debate.

He has again shown no proactive willingness to correct his wrongdoings.

This invite was made abundantly clear, 18 days ago, on the 24th April 2026.

The open invite has been made clear on multiple occasions since, through our open letters and daily updates.

Mr Hacking even posted one of our articles on his Substack on that very same day.

Since we have posted this invitation, it has increasingly come to our attention that Mr Hacking appears to be extremely mentally unwell, remiss and severely lacking in cognitive function, or both.

He has written recently of how exhausted he is.

Whatever the case, it is clear that functional and cohesive dialogue is not possible with him at this stage.

For such a debate to take place would therefore need to be done under very careful review.

We therefore will continue to engage Mr Hacking publicly as we have been doing, given his current attitude.

And so after much prayer, consideration and deliberation, we have decided to publish an open letter to his father, Lord David Hacking.

👉 You can read the full letter here.

We have taken these steps not just to establish the facts publicly.

There are many, many so-called Christians who have attacked Christians already suffering on the front-line of our Lord’s commissioned work.

We have coined this the Judas Syndrome.

3. Targeted from the Outside: How The Establishment Persecutes us Christians

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!” — Isaiah 5:20

As we have shared recently, the satanic powers of this world are literally changing the way language is used today, to demonise certain words.

They are doing this to literally control the narrative against anyone who speaks and defends the truth —especially Christians, who do so in the unbreakable Spirit of God.

But while they demonise some words, they angelise others. Yes, they make what is in truth, evil and wicked, appear good, noble… even natural.

They will do this under the illusioned guise of authority; science, academia, medicine.. anything to convince the masses that what they say is best.

Do not fall for it.

Just watch this serpentine spirit try to legitimise child rape…

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 transcripts that Paul has shared with us. We ask for you to keep him in your prayers as he builds strength and renews in our Lord.


God bless and stay protected with your loved ones,

Paul S. Waugh, Chris Nash and Shaun Cooper

Wow. What a crucial and vital update. The behaviour of Christian Hacking is actually getting very concerning and I really hope he does get the help he urgently needs from his family and elsewhere.

We’re in a desperate state as humanity… this is shown on an individual and a collective basis through Christian Hacking and other examples such as the one shown in the video.

There’s therefore a huge need for our work to equip the Body of Christ to face these challenges from inside and outside the Body. Our open letter to Lord David Hacking is a powerful example of what it means to communicate both candidly and compassionately. Christian Hacking is evidently in need of much help with his situation and I hope that our communication is a catalyst for him getting the help he needs.

It is very curious to say the least that Mr Hacking would reply saying he had not heard of being invited to a debate and yet, now clearly being aware of such an invitation, negates to state whether he accepts or declines the invitation. It comes across as extremely evasive because, if he had been as innocently ignorant as he claims, surely he would now wish to settle the matter. No?

In terms of the latter part of the piece and the video with that demonic thing (I can’t call it a man) trying to justify child abuse, that there is an abhorrent example of pure evil. I feel sick. God bless the interviewer for being so composed and dignified in how he handled that, despite clearly feeling righteous indignation at that, and rightfully so.

I’m genuinely shocked and dismayed by that interview. It feels deeply troubling and hard to comprehend.

The open letter to Lord David Hacking reflects the fact that we have not been able to have a civil conversation with his son, Christian Hacking, or find a way to reconcile the wrongdoing that has taken place.

We are willing to repent for anything we have done wrong, and we do repent where it is due, but we cannot take responsibility for what we have not done.

We hope this letter will help bring clarity and openness of heart and mind to Christian Hacking, and also to his father. May God be with us all. Amen.

Thank you for this update. I hope Lord Hacking can support his son. The fact that the video in today’s update has someone not only justifying but saying there can be a positive consequence from child rape shows how sick this world can be and the Body of Christ needs to unite urgently.

Wow. I mean I was thinking that maybe he was just playing dumb that he hadn’t seen it but the fact that he reposted one of the articles?! That’s not just playing dumb… praying for Christian that he deals with this like a man of God and that he makes this right because this is a terrible track record he’s on

I pray for Christian Hacking’s mental wellbeing. It is concerning to hear some of the things he communicates, and I hope his father is able to support him and help him recover soon. We live in a world of cause and effect, and our actions carry consequences. That is why I appreciate the Open Letter to Christian’s father, and I hope it leads to positive change and a better future for him in line with Truth and reality.

I hope Mr Hacking gets the help he needs.
There is so much that needs attention and fixing in the world, and by God’s grace will any of it ever change.

The video included in this update, just demonstrates exactly what we were told in God’s word would happen in people calling evil good and good evil. The sheer gall and idiocy of the guest John to continue to justify his sickening and immoral beliefs, despite many opportunities to look morally and objectively at the argument that was put forward by the host, is another example of the same heart condition that we have experienced with Christian Hacking. God help us all as we prepare for the evil, chaos and depravity that is inevitably increasing in the hearts and heads in humanity 🙏

We certainly are in dark times, but that video says it all. Someone arguing for paedophilia. I watched a video of a teacher trying to correct a student on gender theory and stating things falsely. When the girl did not back down, she tried to send her to the principal to ‘get corrected’.

We have to base ourselves in truth and trust in the proven God. I can see the movement into evil and calling it good. I have grown a hatred of Islam. I was listening to a video with two women arguing that it was okay for Mohammed to have sex with a minor. The end feels nigh.

There seems to be something definitely wrong with Mr Hacking. Reading his reply, that is all he has to say after the love and care that has been shown him by Paul and Sukh, phew…I will keep him in my prayers

WOW, that video you have shared, phew…I pray for John because of what he is saying!!! VERY disturbing…
