Some thoughts on my holiday reading. Including a few books I'd recommend, and some I definitely wouldn't! liamthatcher.com/2025/08/11/rea…

Preacher and comedian Andy Kind is a masterful storyteller, and The Wayfarer is his magnum opus. It’s beautifully written, with laugh-out-loud moments in every chapter, and profound reflections on life, love and redemption. Get yourself a copy! 👇🏻 amzn.to/410BeoP

A wonderfully threatening typo on a men's curry Whatsapp group: "If you arrive late, I'm gonna eat your Nan!" 😂

JONAH: A PRAYER FROM ROCK BOTTOM. Sinking to the bottom of the ocean, Jonah must have felt his life was over, but God had other plans. In this talk I look at Jonah’s prayer from the belly of the fish, and consider three lessons about salvation. liamthatcher.com/2025/08/19/jon…

Anyone preaching on the Tabernacle soon? You're welcome 👇🏻 bbc.co.uk/news/resources…

I'm in London. Stopped in the street to consult a tube map, and a man asked if I needed help finding my way. 😭 It's only been 4 years and I feel like a tourist in the city I used to call home!

On Sunday I preached at Horizon Church Carterton on Jesus' Temptation in the wilderness. We looked at three temptations he faced (which we also often face too!) and how he overcame: liamthatcher.com/2025/09/30/jes…

The Lord's prayer was formed in the wilderness. In this talk, I look at Jesus' temptation after 40 days of fasting, and consider how the prayer he taught his disciples serves as a weapon against temptation in our own lives. liamthatcher.com/2025/09/30/jes…

I'm digging back into The Epic of Eden by Sandra Richter & am reminded again how brilliant it is! I honestly think I recommend this book more than any other. Such a rich but accessible intro to the Old Testament. If you've never read it, here's my review: liamthatcher.com/2020/11/10/the…

What a time to be alive: Taylor Swift album and a new Archbishop drop on the same day! It's the new Barbenheimer.

God's Book: An Honest Look at the Bible's 7 Toughest Topics by Andrew Ollerton is a great new resource to help people grow in their confidence in the Scriptures. Here are a few things I particularly appreciate about it: liamthatcher.com/2025/10/08/god…

Rather than treating difficult topics as philosophical conundrums abstracted from the narrative of scripture, Andrew looks at them as they come up within the flow of the Bible’s storyline. As such, he doesn’t just teach apologetics but hermeneutics. liamthatcher.com/2025/10/08/god…

18 years. Our marriage is old enough to get married! ❤️

Get behind me.

Yesterday I preached from Genesis 15 - a strange (and somewhat gruesome passage), in which God cuts a covenant with Abraham. We considered the nature of faith, how we can know whether God is trustworthy, and how this ritual points forward to Jesus. liamthatcher.com/2025/10/20/the…

I can't remember the last time I heard a preacher quote Tom Holland the historian without adding "not Spiderman."
