Should Christians watch horror movies or read scary stories? N. D. Wilson, author of Ashtown Burials and an early contributor to House of David, joins Pastor Tim Hatch on The Deep End to challenge a common assumption: just because a story is frightening doesn't mean it is ungodly. Wilson argues that God Himself tells frightening stories—and that stories involving danger, suffering, and darkness can teach courage, sacrifice, and redemption. Responding to a Christian debate involving Allie Beth Stuckey, Wilson explains the difference between stories that glorify evil and stories that prepare us to confront it. From the terrifying events of the Old Testament to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Scripture does not hide the reality of evil. But darkness never gets the final word. Wilson also shares insights from his involvement in the early development of House of David, explains why biblical characters should not be reduced to sanitized Sunday school lessons, and discusses how his Ashtown Burials fantasy series seeks to strengthen readers through redemptive storytelling. **IN THIS EPISODE:** - Should Christians watch horror movies or read scary books? - Why N. D. Wilson says God tells frightening stories - The Christian debate over fear, horror, and entertainment - The difference between glorifying evil and overcoming darkness - How scary stories can teach courage, sacrifice, and perseverance - Why biblical storytelling shouldn't sanitize suffering or sin - Behind the scenes of House of David and portraying King David realistically - Ashtown Burials, The Silent Bells, and redemptive Christian fantasy **📚 EXPLORE N.

ABOUT 10 QUESTIONS WITH TIM 10 Questions with Tim is a biblical Q&A series hosted by Pastor Tim Hatch. Each episode explores real questions about Christianity, theology, Scripture, and current events, helping viewers examine difficult subjects through a biblical worldview.

Isaiah 5:8–6:13 moves from six woes against the nation to Isaiah's own "woe is me" before the throne of the thrice-holy God. In the year King Uzziah died, the prophet sees the King who never dies, is undone by His holiness, cleansed, and sent. Pastor Tim Hatch unpacks what a true encounter with God produces in us. Key Verse: Isaiah 6:3 (ESV).

Former Satanist Riaan Swiegelaar reveals what he experienced inside Satanism, the spiritual deception that drew him in, and the extraordinary encounter with Jesus Christ that changed his life. In this powerful episode of The Deep End, Pastor Tim Hatch sits down with Riaan Swiegelaar, a former Satanist from South Africa who left the occult after what he describes as a life-changing encounter with Jesus during a satanic ritual in 2022. Raised in a Christian home, Riaan knew the Bible but says he didn't truly know Jesus. His search for spiritual power led him into New Age practices, psychic work, the occult, and eventually Satanism. Now a follower of Jesus Christ, Riaan shares his firsthand testimony about the realities of Satanism, spiritual warfare, demonic deception, and the freedom he believes can only be found in Christ. 📖 RI AAN SWIEGELAAR'S BOOK Fear No Evil: The Devil Is Real. So Is Your Authority Over Him. https://a.co/d/076SHpkM In this revealing conversation, discover: •What Satanism really teaches: How Riaan says promises of empowerment, belonging, and spiritual enlightenment drew him into the occult. • The dangers of spiritual deception: Why he warns Christians about astrology, psychic readings, occult practices, and compromising their faith. • What happens inside Satanism: His personal accounts of initiation, occult rituals, animal sacrifices, and spiritual bondage. • The encounter that changed everything: How Riaan says Jesus appeared to him during a satanic ritual on May 24, 2022. • His nine-month journey to freedom: Why leaving the occult involved renouncing former practices, confronting unforgiveness, and surrendering his life to Christ. • The danger of empty religion: Why knowing Scripture is not the same as personally knowing Jesus Christ. • How parents can protect their children: Riaan's biblical encouragement for families facing spiritual deception in today's culture. As satanic invocations and public expressions of Satanism attract attention across America, Pastor Tim asks questions many Christians are wrestling with: What is Satanism really about? How does spiritual deception begin? What should parents be watching for? And how can believers stand firm in their faith? Riaan's message is ultimately not about fearing Satan. It's about recognizing the authority of Jesus Christ, understanding the power of God's Word, and living in the victory of the Cross. "The enemy has already been conquered on the cross." 📖 RI AAN SWIEGELAAR'S BOOK Fear No Evil: The Devil Is Real.

What is God really looking for in His people? Can you experience God's blessings, practice religion, and still be spiritually far from Him? In Isaiah 4-5, Pastor Tim Hatch reveals why outward religion isn't enough, how God's blessings can become spiritually dangerous, and why true transformation begins with Jesus Christ. In Episode 3 of The First Gospel: Knowing Jesus Through the Prophecies of Isaiah, we explore Isaiah 4:2-6 and Isaiah 5:1-7; two powerful passages that reveal God's judgment against sin and His promise to purify, protect, and transform His faithful people. In Isaiah 5, God describes Israel as a vineyard He carefully planted, protected, and provided for. Yet instead of producing good fruit, His people turned toward corruption and rebellion. They enjoyed God's blessings and practiced religion, but their hearts remained unchanged. Privilege without transformation produces corruption. But Isaiah 4 reveals the hope of the gospel. Through the Branch of the Lord—Jesus Christ—God is cultivating a people who belong to Him. Even through suffering, trials, and discipline, He is working to produce holiness, righteousness, and lasting spiritual fruit. IN THIS BIBLE STUDY: - What the Branch of the Lord reveals about Jesus Christ - Why God's blessings can become spiritually dangerous - The meaning of the vineyard and bad fruit in Isaiah 5 - Why religious activity doesn't guarantee spiritual transformation - How God uses hardship and trials to purify His people - What Isaiah reveals about the faithful remnant, Mount Zion, and Christ's present reign - Why abiding in Jesus, the True Vine, is essential to bearing spiritual fruit - The question isn't simply what God has allowed to happen to you. It's what God is growing in you through it. - God isn't merely interested in changing your circumstances. He is transforming your heart. 📖 SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 4:2–6; Isaiah 5:1–7 Additional references: Jeremiah 23:5; Hosea 10:1; John 15; Romans 1:18; Hebrews 12:22; Galatians 4:24–26; 1 Corinthians 3:16. 📘 Follow along in The First Gospel companion devotional and journal, Episode 3: What God Is Looking For. 🔔 Join Pastor Tim Hatch every Thursday at 5 PM ET for The Deep Dive, an in-depth Bible study exploring the prophecies of Isaiah and how they reveal Jesus Christ. 💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION: Are you allowing God to transform your heart, or have His blessings become something you take for granted?

The Cornell 7 controversy has sparked a national conversation about sexual assault, consent, and the culture on college campuses. But are we asking the right questions? What if the real problem goes deeper than consent? What if the sexual revolution has failed an entire generation? In this episode of The Deep End, Pastor Tim Hatch examines the disturbing allegations surrounding the Cornell fraternity scandal, the sexual philosophy being promoted in higher education, and the consequences of a culture that has separated sex from commitment. We examine Cornell University's own sexual education materials, the startling statistics surrounding campus sexual assault, and research revealing the relationship between sexual behavior, mental health, marital satisfaction, and divorce. We also explore the neuroscience of sexual intimacy, including how the brain develops into our mid-20s and why sexual relationships involve more than physical pleasure. Is sexual freedom actually making us happier? Are marriages and committed relationships suffering? And what does the Bible have to say about God's design for sex? In this episode, we discuss:     •    The Cornell fraternity scandal and the questions surrounding consent and accountability.     •    Cornell University's approach to sexual education and sexual autonomy.     •    Why the sexual revolution may not have delivered on its promises.     •    Brain development, sexual bonding, and decision-making.     •    The relationship between sexual history, marital satisfaction, and divorce.     •    CDC statistics on sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancies.     •    Why religiously committed married couples report different patterns of sexual activity and satisfaction.     •    What Scripture teaches about sexual holiness, commitment, and God's design for marriage. The central question: Is consent enough to make something morally right? The Bible offers a radically different vision of sexuality—one rooted in holiness, self-control, covenant commitment, and love. 📖 Scriptures discussed: Genesis 2:24; 1 Corinthians 6:16; 1 Thessalonians 4:3–6; 1 Corinthians 7:4–5. The Cornell allegations remain contested, and the individuals accused are entitled to due process. This discussion distinguishes those allegations from broader questions about sexual ethics and culture. Join the conversation: Has the sexual revolution helped or harmed our understanding of sex, marriage, and commitment? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Why is a Messianic rabbi challenging Christian pastors to speak up about Massachusetts' new abortion law? Pastor Tim Hatch sits down with Rabbi Henry Morse for a timely conversation about Massachusetts Chapter 188, the Repeal 188 effort, abortion, the Church's role in politics and culture, Israel, antisemitism, and the responsibility of pastors to stand for biblical truth. At the center of the conversation is a provocative question: When an issue is fundamentally moral, should pastors remain silent simply because the culture calls it political? Rabbi Morse explains why he has become involved in the effort to repeal Massachusetts Chapter 188 and why he believes Christian pastors and churches need to engage. Pastor Tim and Rabbi Henry discuss biblical courage, the early Church, persecution, cultural pressure, and what happens when Christians withdraw from difficult moral issues. The conversation also becomes deeply personal. Rabbi Henry shares his journey from an Orthodox Jewish upbringing to faith in Jesus (Yeshua), his years of evangelism, reaching Jewish people through Messianic prophecy, and a powerful story about his father near the end of his life. They also discuss: • Massachusetts Chapter 188 and the Repeal 188 petition effort • Why abortion is more than a political issue • Why some pastors hesitate to address controversial cultural issues • Biblical boldness, persecution, and the early Church • Rabbi Henry Morse's journey to faith in Jesus • Jewish evangelism and Messianic prophecy • Sexual morality and the breakdown of the family • Letitia James, Cornell, and sexual accountability • October 7, Israel, and rising antisemitism • Why Christians should support Israel • Israel's place in biblical prophecy • Rabbi Henry's final challenge to pastors and churches The Deep End with Pastor Tim Hatch examines today's news, politics, culture, and faith through a biblical worldview. 👉 Subscribe to Tim Hatch Live for more conversations that go beyond the headlines and ask what Scripture has to say about the issues shaping our culture. 💬 What do you think?

What happens when we leave God out of our plans and exalt ourselves instead? In this study of Isaiah 2–4, Pastor Tim Hatch shows how human pride sets us on a collision course with God—and how the answer isn't trying harder, but letting God lead. Welcome to Episode 2 of The First Gospel: Knowing Jesus Through the Prophecies of Isaiah, a 40-episode Deep Dive Bible Study exploring the ancient prophecies of Isaiah and how they point to Jesus Christ. In Isaiah 2:1–4:1, Isaiah lifts our eyes to the mountain of the Lord, where one day the nations will stream to worship and "beat their swords into plowshares." But Judah was living the opposite story—prosperous, self-reliant, full of idols and foreign alliances, leaving God out of their plans. Isaiah warns of the Day of the Lord, when everything proud and lofty will be brought low and "the Lord alone will be exalted." Chapters 3 and 4 trace the collapse that follows self-rule—and then the hope that remains: the Branch of the Lord, a holy remnant, and God's promise to shelter and lead His people once again. In this episode, discover: • Why leaving God out of our plans is the root of so much of our brokenness. • What the "mountain of the Lord" reveals about God's ultimate purpose for the nations. • How the Day of the Lord exposes and humbles human pride. • Why prosperity and self-sufficiency can quietly push God to the margins. • What the "Branch of the Lord" in Isaiah 4 points to—and how it leads us to Jesus. • How God's promise to lead His people frees us from the exhausting work of leading ourselves. Isaiah calls us to stop exalting our own plans and let God lead—because the God who humbles the proud is the same God who shelters and restores a remnant. 📖 SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 2:1–4:1 (ESV) 📘 GET THE FIRST GOSPEL COMPANION JOURNAL Deepen your study of Isaiah with the companion devotional and journal, featuring Scripture readings, reflection questions, and space for personal prayer. https://timhatchlive.com/books ▶️ ABOUT THE FIRST GOSPEL Join Pastor Tim Hatch for a 40-episode Bible study through Isaiah.

Why are so many adults refusing to grow up? Adults are becoming one of the fastest-growing forces in the toy industry, millions are turning to childhood nostalgia for comfort, and even celebrity culture seems obsessed with staying forever young. From the booming “kidult” toy market to Madonna at the 2026 MTV VMAs, Pastor Tim Hatch asks a bigger question: What happened to adulthood? In this episode of The Deep End, Pastor Tim examines the rise of kidulting—adults buying toys, collecting childhood favorites, sleeping with stuffed animals, watching cartoons, and returning to nostalgic hobbies for comfort, community, stress relief, and escape. But the toy aisle is only the beginning. As U.S. birth rates fall, Americans delay marriage and parenthood, loneliness increases, and fewer households include children, Pastor Tim explores whether the kidult boom reflects something deeper: a culture increasingly anxious about the future and tempted to retreat into the security of the past. The conversation also turns to Madonna and the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards, celebrity culture’s obsession with youth, the psychology of nostalgia, adult LEGO and collectibles, stuffed animals and mental health, the rising cost of starting a family, declining fertility, and the difference between enjoying a childhood hobby and refusing the responsibilities of adulthood. And there’s an important distinction: owning LEGO, playing drums, collecting toys, or enjoying an old hobby doesn’t make someone immature. The deeper question is where we look for comfort, security, belonging, identity, and purpose—and whether fear is keeping us from moving forward. What does the Bible say about growing up? Jesus calls us to become childlike—but not childish. Biblical maturity isn't simply about age, income, marriage, children, or whether you own toys. It means learning to trust God, take responsibility, love others sacrificially, build meaningful relationships, and move toward the future God has called us to rather than living in the past. - Why adults are buying more toys - The rise of “kidults” and kidulting - Toys, plushies, LEGO, nostalgia, and mental health - Why adults are sleeping with stuffed animals - Madonna and the 2026 MTV VMAs - Celebrity culture and the obsession with staying young - Loneliness, anxiety, comfort, and community - Declining U.S. birth and fertility rates - Delayed marriage, parenthood, and homeownership - Why nostalgia can become an escape - Family, responsibility, and biblical adulthood - Childishness vs. becoming childlike - Where Christians should find comfort, security, and belonging The world is trying to solve a God-sized ache with child-sized toys. The comfort you're looking for is found in Christ. The security you're looking for is found in Him. The belonging you're looking for is found in His Church. You don't have to go backward to childhood to find peace—you can move forward toward the Father. So grow up—and come home. 👍 Like this episode, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to hear this conversation. ▶ Be part of sharing the Truth: Support Tim Hatch Live 💥 Become a monthly partner and receive exclusive channel perks: Tim Hatch Live Patreon 20% of all giving is tithed back out to the American Bible Society and Project Rescue.

What if your greatest problem isn't your circumstances or your behavior—but a condition within your heart that only God can heal? In this Isaiah 1 Bible study, Pastor Tim Hatch reveals the true nature of sin, why religious performance cannot save us, and how God promises to make our scarlet sins white as snow. Welcome to Episode 1 of The First Gospel: Knowing Jesus Through the Prophecies of Isaiah, a 40-episode Deep Dive Bible Study exploring the ancient prophecies of Isaiah and how they point to Jesus Christ. In Isaiah 1:1–31, God brings a case against His own people. Judah was prosperous, religiously active, and outwardly successful, yet spiritually corrupt. Through powerful imagery, Isaiah reveals that sin is more than bad behavior. It is a condition of the human heart that no amount of religious activity or self-improvement can cure. But Isaiah's opening chapter doesn't end with judgment. In Isaiah 1:18, God extends an extraordinary invitation: though our sins are like scarlet, they can become white as snow. In this episode, discover: • Why prosperity can be more spiritually dangerous than suffering. • How sin affects our hearts, minds, and relationship with God. • Why God rejected Israel's sacrifices and empty religious worship. • What Isaiah 1:18 really means when God promises to make scarlet sins white as snow. • How God's refining work leads to repentance and restoration. • How Isaiah chapter 1 points to Jesus Christ and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Isaiah reveals the depth of our need for a Savior—and introduces us to the God who invites us to come to Him. 📖 SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 1:1–31 (ESV) 📘 GET THE FIRST GOSPEL COMPANION JOURNAL Deepen your study of Isaiah with the companion devotional and journal, featuring Scripture readings, reflection questions, and space for personal prayer. https://timhatchlive.com/books ▶️ ABOUT THE FIRST GOSPEL Join Pastor Tim Hatch for a 40-episode Bible study through Isaiah.

More than 2,000 people gathered in Providence, Rhode Island, for one night of outdoor worship, prayer, and the Gospel. By the end of the night, 122 people had been baptized.

Was the Book of Enoch really removed from the Bible? And does this ancient text reveal hidden truths about fallen angels, the Nephilim, UFOs, Antarctica, and secrets the government doesn't want you to know? The Book of Enoch is exploding across social media, fueled by claims that it was deliberately removed from the Bible because it contains information about supernatural beings, forbidden technology, and mysteries hidden from humanity. The controversy gained attention after Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna discussed alleged interdimensional beings, government UFO investigations, and the Book of Enoch during podcast appearances. But what does the Book of Enoch actually say—and was it ever removed from the Bible? In this episode of The Deep End, Pastor Tim Hatch separates the biblical and historical evidence from viral conspiracy theories. Tim examines claims connecting Enoch, fallen angels, the Watchers, Nephilim, UFOs, NASA and Antarctica, including theories about supernatural beings imprisoned beneath the Antarctic ice. Then we tackle the bigger questions: Who decided which books belong in the Bible? Why isn't Enoch in most Christian Bibles? And if Enoch isn't Scripture, why does Jude quote it? Tim examines the Old Testament canon, the dating of 1 Enoch, the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Jude 14–15, and whether quoting an ancient source makes the entire book inspired Scripture. • Was the Book of Enoch really removed from the Bible? • Anna Paulina Luna, Enoch & interdimensional beings • Does Enoch describe aliens or advanced technology? • Fallen angels, the Watchers & Nephilim • Genesis 6 and the “sons of God” • Enoch, Antarctica & the supposed frozen prison • NASA, ANITA & mysterious Antarctic radio signals • What the Book of Enoch actually contains • Why isn't Enoch in most Christian Bibles? • The Ethiopian Orthodox Church & Enoch • How the biblical canon developed • Why Jude quotes the Book of Enoch • The Dead Sea Scrolls & Enoch • Can Christians trust the Bible we have today? The deeper question isn't simply, “What books were left out of the Bible?” It's this: What are we doing with the Bible that's already in our hands? Before chasing secret knowledge, hidden books and viral theories, Christians should know the Word God has already given us. 📖 GET THE ISAIAH DEVOTIONAL JOURNAL Get your copy of Pastor Tim Hatch’s Isaiah devotional journal and follow along with the upcoming Bible study through the book of Isaiah.

Why is America cheering for Lindsay Clancy? As the Lindsay Clancy trial nears a verdict, supporters are rallying behind the Massachusetts mother who killed her three young children—Cora Clancy, Dawson Clancy, and Callan Clancy. The case has ignited a national debate over postpartum psychosis, mental illness, criminal responsibility, justice, motherhood, and accountability. Was Lindsay Clancy suffering from postpartum psychosis that left her not criminally responsible for her actions? Did the medical system fail her? Or are we allowing compassion for mental illness to erase personal responsibility for horrific acts? In this episode of The Deep End, Pastor Tim Hatch examines the strongest arguments being made in Lindsay Clancy's defense before responding to them from a Christian and biblical worldview. Tim examines Clancy's reported postpartum psychosis diagnosis, alleged command hallucinations, psychiatric treatment and medications, her stay at McLean Hospital, testimony from medical professionals, and the argument that doctors and the mental-health system failed her. He also looks at the growing pro-Lindsay Clancy movement: supporters gathering outside the courthouse, the “I am Lindsay” sentiment spreading on social media, and women identifying their own experiences with motherhood, depression, anger, and mental illness with Clancy's case. But Tim argues that Christians must ask a deeper question: Does mental illness eliminate moral responsibility? What does the Bible say about the human mind, evil, personal accountability, demonic influence, justice, and the shedding of innocent blood? From King Saul and Nebuchadnezzar to Judas and the demon-possessed man of the Gerasenes, Tim examines how Scripture treats mental disturbance, human depravity, spiritual darkness, and accountability before God. The episode also explores what could happen if Lindsay Clancy is found not criminally responsible, whether she could eventually be released from a psychiatric facility, and what her case could mean for the way our culture thinks about justice. Whatever the jury ultimately decides, Tim argues that legal responsibility and biblical accountability are not necessarily the same thing**. Amid the national attention surrounding Lindsay Clancy, Christians cannot forget the three children at the center of this case: Cora, 5; Dawson, 3; and Callan, 8 months. Is our culture becoming so focused on explaining the actions of offenders that we're losing our ability to recognize evil, defend innocent victims, and demand accountability?
