Justice, Crowdfunding, and the Christian Response

Special Guest: Jacob Wells, Cofounder of GiveSendGo

What happens when standing for biblical principles puts you at odds with both sides of the cultural divide?

In this powerful episode of The Deep End, Pastor Tim Hatch sits down with Jacob Wells, cofounder of GiveSendGo, for a bold and timely conversation on justice, cancel culture, and the spiritual cost of leading a Christian crowdfunding platform in today’s polarized world.

Jacob shares the story behind a legal defense campaign that has sparked national outrage—and why GiveSendGo continues to stand firm on its mission: to share the hope of Jesus in every circumstance, even the controversial ones.

Together, Tim and Jacob unpack the biblical foundations of justice, the presumption of innocence, and why a truly fair legal system must extend due process to all—not just the popular or powerful.

📌 Key Themes & Insights:

Why presumption of innocence is rooted in Scripture (Genesis 18, Leviticus, 1 Timothy 5, Proverbs 18)
How cancel culture on both the Left and the Right undermines true justice
The role of Christians in defending free speech and upholding the rule of law
GiveSendGo’s mission to bring light into darkness—without playing favorites
What it means to live out biblical truth in the face of public backlash

📖 Theological Insights:

Presumption of Innocence Is a Biblical Principle
- Genesis 18:25 – Abraham appeals to God’s justice, asking, “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?” implying due process even for the wicked.
- Proverbs 18:17 – “The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.”
- 1 Timothy 5:19 – “Do not admit a charge against an elder except on the evidence of two or three witnesses.”
  → These verses underscore that God’s justice is careful, patient, and evidence-based, not reactive or emotionally driven.
Justice Must Be Blind—Because God Is Impartial
- Scripture teaches that God shows no partiality (Romans 2:11; James 2:1–9). Christians are called to mirror this impartiality in the legal system and in cultural dialogue.
  → True justice doesn’t change based on political affiliations, popularity, or public pressure.
Cancel Culture Violates the Spirit of Grace and Redemption
- The Christian worldview is rooted in redemption and the hope of transformation. Canceling someone without due process contradicts the very heart of the Gospel, which says no one is beyond grace (Romans 3:23–24).
  → Christians must resist mob justice and extend space for repentance, truth, and grace.
Christian Courage in a Tribalized World
- Standing for truth when it’s unpopular reflects Christ’s own ministry. Jesus was rejected by both religious elites and the crowd (Luke 23:18–23).
  → This episode reminds believers that being faithful may mean being misunderstood—but we are called to honor Christ, not culture.
Platforms Are Tools—Not Judges
- GiveSendGo’s stance reflects a biblical conviction that platforms should not act as arbiters of guilt or innocence, mirroring God’s call to judge righteously (Deuteronomy 1:17).
  → The episode challenges believers to think about how we steward influence, technology, and power in a God-honoring way.

🌍 Cultural Relevance:

In an age of cancel culture, digital tribalism, and politicized justice, Christians face increasing pressure to conform or stay silent. This episode tackles:

Freedom of Speech – Why defending unpopular voices protects Gospel freedom.
Biblical Justice vs. Mob Rule – What Scripture says about due process in a world driven by outrage.
Faith Under Fire – How to stand firm when both sides criticize you.
Christian Courage – Why truth matters more than tribal loyalty.

If you care about justice, truth, and living boldly for Christ in today’s culture, this episode is for you.
