"No longer will you be called J.J. Abrams; your name will be J.J. Abrahams, for you are the father of many successful reboots"

@simplepastor I was scrolling quickly and I totally read that as Lol

"Lo! Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb; Lovingly He greets us, scatters fear and gloom; Let the Church with gladness, hymns of triumph sing, For her Lord now liveth, death hath lost its sting."

When I’m eating shared nachos I’m always thinking 3 nacho moves ahead of my opponent.

@shaw_davidm Wow! That does indeed sound fake (and I believe you). Fascinating!

A personal one (not sure if it sounds fake, but it is true. 🤷🏻‍♂️) My grandfather worked for a cigarette company in Nottingham UK, and a portion of his salary was paid with several hundred cigarettes each week.

Last week I gave two talks on worship and I genuinely think the first (a biblical theology of singing entitled 'Why on earth do we sing?') may be one of the most important talks I've ever given! Certainly one that brought me enormous personal revelation: liamthatcher.com/2026/05/12/two…

What is hope, and where can we find it? In this talk, I unpack the story of two disciples on the road to Emmaus, and show how an encounter with Jesus broke through their disappointment and gave them a new hope. liamthatcher.com/2026/05/11/ali…

The boy had a mast @BBCNews? #DanglingModifierPatrol

BUILDING WITH WISDOM (MATT 7.24–29) The Sermon on the Mount ends with a promise that a life built on Jesus' word will be able to weather the storms of life. In this talk I look at what it means to be those who hear God's word and do what he says liamthatcher.com/2026/04/20/bui…

What does God look for in a leader? And how can we live a life pleasing to him? In this talk I look at 1 Samuel 16, considering the difference between David and Saul. "People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (1 Sam 16.7) liamthatcher.com/2026/04/14/god…

@hannahmerich Oh! That makes more sense. I was very confused, and assumed one of the articles was some AI-generated-error-laden mess.

Mind blown to discover that Jude Law’s kid and Jorginho’s kid, both mortally wounded by Chappell Roan per sidebar headlines, are in fact the same child. Showbiz, man.

Just noticed that @LigonDuncan believes in sprinkling and @PrestonSprinkle believes in dunking. 🤯

I feel there's a 6 hour video on @mbird12 coming up! And I'm firmly on #TeamWinger

SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM | MATT 6.25–34 Jesus teaches that we should resist worry and trust God for provision. But what does this look like in practice? In this talk I unpack 3 ways God provides, and consider how we can prioritise His Kingdom liamthatcher.com/2026/03/09/see…

Funny how Spurs had to get a Tudor in to confirm they’ll beheading down.

@simplepastor I've love to hear your 1 sentence review for each of the books on the list 😂

This is either a really terrible list or a really terrible title or possibly both. It should be called a '100 books some Christians have read'. And if some of these books have changed the church then it's probably because they made it worse.

I'm enjoying this 'choose your own adventure' from @grok and as an Arsenal fan, I naturally choose the version of reality that's most favourable to us, even if it's not in the least bit accurate!

J: "I have a question about Adam and Eve" Me: [Bracing myself...] "Yes...?" J: "What was their surname?"

Me: "The Psalms say that God is our fortress. Do you know what a fortress is?" J: "Yep, it's something we build in the front room with cushions."

My daughter recently asked me to tell her the whole story of the Bible. So each day as we walk to school I tell her the next bit and we discuss it. It's been quite profound, but also amusing hearing some of her assumptions and misunderstandings: A 🧵 of highlights so far:

In the second half of the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus invites us to bring our needs before God, asking for daily provision of food, forgiveness, and protection from the evil one. This sermon looks at how we can pray this prayer today. liamthatcher.com/2026/02/16/the…

Do Irish Bibles contain the story of Adam and Iamh?
