1. Today’s Update
Good evening everyone,
We’re currently hard at work on the publication of The Lighthouse Magazine. Because of this, there won’t be much in the way of updates today. Our focus is on completing the first inaugural issue, which we’re excited to share with you. We’ll be revealing the cover for this first edition in the next few days.
Thank you, as always, for your patience, prayers, and continued support.
God bless
Paul S. Waugh, Chris Nash, Shaun Cooper
2. Daily Prayer
Today’s Daily Prayer reflects on love, suffering, and holy maturity, inviting us to see how Christ-like growth takes place not in comfort, but through endurance, obedience, and sacrificial love. It calls us to embrace suffering as part of the journey toward spiritual depth, to love as Christ loves, and to seek maturity that is rooted in truth, humility, and obedience to God.

3. Today’s Daily “Citizen/Christian and the Establishment Problem” Example
A Warning: How Control of Schooling Is Being Used to Fracture Society
Nicole Solas is a mother who simply asked to see what her kindergarten child was being taught. That basic request; transparency about her own child’s education, triggered a chain of events so extreme it exposes a much deeper problem at the heart of modern schooling and should alarm everyone who wants truth.
Ms Solas was told the curriculum was not publicly available. To see it, she had to file formal public records requests. When she asked directly about gender theory, school officials admitted they no longer refer to children as “boys and girls” and that gender identity values are embedded across all classrooms, including kindergarten. Shortly after, the school cut off normal communication entirely and instructed her to use public records requests for all future questions. She followed their instructions exactly. And for doing so, the school board, backed by the teachers’ union, discussed suing her.
This is not an isolated bureaucratic dispute. It is a warning sign of how education has been captured and weaponised by the Establishment. For decades, more covertly, schools have not been partners to families but as enforcement arms of an ideology that cannot tolerate scrutiny. Parents are treated not as stakeholders, but as threats, even when it comes to taking their children out of school for a few days for a holiday.
Here is the deeper danger: this chaos and even abuse, is not accidental. The Establishment understands that schooling shapes culture, values, and identity, one generation at a time. By inserting highly contentious ideas into early education while simultaneously shutting parents out, they create division at the most intimate level of society, the family. Parents argue with schools. Parents argue with each other. Communities fracture along ideological lines. While people fight over classrooms and curriculum, those at the top remain untouched, unaccountable, and unseen.
This constant social conflict is useful to the Establishment. A distracted public does not unite against tyranny. A divided society cannot organise. When parents are forced into legal battles just to ask questions, the message is clear: authority flows one way only — from institutions down to families. What makes this especially dangerous is the precedent. If a school can threaten legal action against a mother for requesting public information, then transparency itself becomes a conditional privilege, not a right. Education becomes something done to families, not with or for them.
This is about far more than one curriculum or one issue. It is about who controls the next generation, who decides what is true, what is right, what is unquestionable, and who is allowed to speak. Parents should not need permission to understand what their own children are being taught. A society that punishes questions in the classroom is one quietly preparing the ground for far wider control elsewhere. This is why discernment as a parent or any concerned citizen is critical. We need to understand who the Establishment are and also know our responsibility individually, to not sleepwalk into a dictatorship.
4. Lighthouse Associates Consensus Feedback
The following is an excerpt from feedback that was shared with Paul by Lighthouse associates following a call with them yesterday.
What Paulie shared about elementals — the most basic human needs that are meant to be formed early — gave language to something we’ve all lived but never properly named. Once seen, it’s hard to unsee. So much of what we’ve struggled with for years — addictions, resistance, lack of discipline, distorted motivation, unnecessary suffering — suddenly makes sense when viewed through this lens. Not as excuses, but as causes.
There is grief in this. Real grief. The recognition that we ought, by right, to have received certain things — love, nurture, safety, attunement, guidance — and didn’t. Many of us could feel this not just emotionally but physically: tension releasing, breath changing, something softening or opening at a deeper level. Naming decades-old pain brought relief, not resolution, though relief matters.
At the same time, this isn’t black and white. Some of us remember genuine love, effort, even sacrifice from our parents — alongside chaos, stress, emotional absence, or unmet needs. That complexity doesn’t negate the reality of what’s missing. One broken elemental affects them all.
Christ sits at the centre of this. Seeing our inner bankruptcy more clearly doesn’t lead us away from Him; it brings us to Him. “Blessed are the poor in spirit” stopped being a verse and became a diagnosis. We can see more clearly now how self-absorption, not self-hatred, has kept our eyes off Christ — and how facing what’s missing is not indulgence but repentance.
None of us feel finished… in fact barely started. We’re not resolved or neat or clear on the “how” yet. There are questions forming — about discernment, rebuilding, necessary versus unnecessary suffering, delayed gratification versus addiction. But there is something new: a willingness. A desire to suffer where it’s right to suffer, rather than numbing, bypassing, avoiding or trying to manage.
We’re deeply grateful — to God, to Christ, and to Paulie — for the courage, honesty, and love that has made this possible. What was shared wasn’t safe, easy, or flattering. It was costly. And it gave us language, orientation, and hope without false comfort.
This feels fundamental. Life-giving. Something we will be unpacking and living into for a long time. And for the first time in a while, the suffering ahead feels meaningful. x x
| About us.. We are a group of dedicated Christians who run a secular human growth and research organisation called Lighthouse Global since 4 November 2004 only and undeniably made possible by God’s love and Grace. |
Hi everyone,
We’re recognising a shift within us as we anticipate The Lighthouse’s release—not just in what it will share, but in what it is awakening in each of us around love, responsibility, and what it truly means to live honestly before God.
It is helping us see how much early patterns of hiding, avoidance, and misunderstanding have shaped our lives, and how unnecessary suffering has often been mistaken for love or growth. Through Christ’s example, we are learning that facing pain with purpose makes it meaningful rather than something to escape.
We sense that The Lighthouse will challenge us to take responsibility, engage with truth, and embrace growth that is real and lasting—not for comfort or approval, but for transformation. Its impact will lie not in mass appeal, but in the depth of change it invites in those willing to engage fully.
Above all, we are grateful—for the vision, integrity, and care behind it, and for God’s patience as He continues to teach us what love looks like when grounded in truth and responsibility. x x
This is not only outrageous, but a hallmark of a dictatorship that exists in more and more countries; where the state is taking control of our children and what they think is right and wrong. They’re doing so in the name of their and their parents’ best interests, when in fact they’re doing the total opposite. I’ve seen inside the current school dynamic first hand… the indoctrination and propaganda inflicted on children in the name of free thinking and caring for them is a nightmare. So God bless Ms Solless and every parent and teacher willing to stand up to this horrific agenda.
Really, really looking forward to the launch of The Lighthouse. God be with Paul and the whole team involved in this! God bless you all.
What happened to Ms Solless would sound unbelieveable if it wasn’t for the fact that over the years I have seen a number of similar situations. Yet this is amongst the worst example of a parent being blocked from understanding their child’s education. It sounds like it could come out of 1984 by George Orwell. The thought police are rife in public institutions.
The establishment will stop at nothing to keep control. They are taking it further by taking control away from parents by not allowing them to know what their children are being taught in school.
What happened to Ms Sollesse is disgraceful this is why we need Citizen Intervention Global.
I pray for our children and what they are being taught in school, for this school to not use ‘boys and girls’, wow. God bless those innocent little souls 🙏
Thank you for sharing this and I look forward to the first edition of The Lighthouse magazine
God bless x
The example of Nicole Solas is an insane one that illustrates how far the establishment has gone to institute tyranny throughout the institutions we’re indoctrinated to trust. It’s heartbreaking to see naive citizens who believe the education system has children’s best interests at heart, that the mainstream media only broadcasts accurate truth and that government agencies are there to protect and serve the public.
If that’s you, then seriously recommend educating yourself based on the sharing of our evidence-based warnings through real-life experiences:
The UK Insolvency Service: Insolvency Service Corruption site
The BBC: David vs Goliath site
The Daily Mail: Lighthouse International Group Daily Mail site
This is why we desperately need Citizen Intervention Global and why we have written an open letter to President Donald J Trump.
Booom!!! There it is! If there was any doubt that the system isn’t meant for us to thrive. That is absolutely diabolical, that’s deeply scary. The problem that mother is doing it by herself and has little inflenence. Imagine she has thousands beyond thousands of moms behind her, the level of support and power she’ll have – Citizen Intervention! It’s time for it!!
What happened with Nicole Solas will be shocking to many people, but the public need to wake up and realise that this kind of behaviour by establishment institutions and the state is totally in line with Socialism/Communism. Although this is the USA, these are not democratic, capitalistic and certainly not conservative actions by her school board. This is creeping far left ideology that’s embedding itself in the USA as it has done so much more in the UK. What we are seeing a wokeism, along with it’s extreme ideologies, has exploded in our Western societies over the last few years especially.
This is because of the how the proponents of this ideology (radical left socialists) had progressively and deliberately infiltrated and gradually overtaken colleges and universities, filling the minds of young people with their ideas and thinking. Now they are working on changing the whole education system from Kindergarten up, knowing that in one generation there can and will be a complete ideological shift in society. It’s absolutely insidious and highly effective and has been covertly supported by the establishment for whom socialism provides them, as the state, with all the power, influence and control they are looking for.
Our culture is the proverbial frog being slowly boiled in water and unless we jump out soon, it will be too late. For the UK and large parts of Europe, that may already be the case. Thankfully The Lighthouse will be able to educate and inform the public and help them see what’s happening and its effects in all our institutions and in plain sight too.
“By inserting highly contentious ideas into early education while simultaneously shutting parents out, they create division at the most intimate level of society, the family”
This is an incredibly chilling excerpt exposing the reality of why we need to know who the establishment are and know what we are truly up against.
The case of Nicole Silas, is not an isolated case and is one we will see increasingly!
I’m realising how little I have questioned the motives behind our current societal structures and why things are the way they are. For a long time, I believed that organisations, especially those connected to education, were set up with the best interests of children and people in general at heart. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that this is not always the case.
Rather than serving the public, the establishment prioritises expanding control, doing so gradually and subtly. When people are not taught truth, they are unable to understand their human potential or recognise their inherent value as human beings.
The example of Nicole Solas shows the level of manipulation and the moral corruption that exists within the education system. Thank you for sharing this information. It has prompted me to question more deeply why things are structured as they are and to seriously consider alternative approaches.
Raising our children is the responsibility of the parents first. Schools are there to help them, not to replace them. But this is against what the establishment wants, so any way of driving a wedge between children and their parents will be exploited by them. That includes what they are taught literally ‘behind closed doors’.
The Lighthouse is both a publication and a community, and it is so sorely needed. For people like Ms Nicole Solas—God bless her—it stands as a reminder of what is possible. How many parents likely sit quietly and do not challenge the state or the establishment? Nicole, and we here at Lighthouse, are an example of what can happen when we do.
As Scripture reminds us, we are called to be “wise as serpents and innocent as doves” (Matthew 10:16), discerning in truth while remaining grounded in integrity and peace.
This update really resonated with me. The way it ties truth, love, and maturity together feels so grounded and honest. It’s easy to talk about love or truth in abstract terms, but this reminded me that real spiritual maturity costs something — it asks honesty with ourselves, humility, and a willingness to grow even when it’s uncomfortable.
I’m especially grateful for the reminder that genuine love isn’t soft or sentimental; it’s rooted in truth and courage. That challenges me to reflect on my own responses and motivations, and to lean into love that heals, corrects, and builds up rather than just comforts. Thank you for such clear, faithful teaching. God bless everyone and looking forward to The Lighthouse
