Does Andrew Wilson Have a Satanic Spirit? | Hypocrisy vs. Christian Values

“By their fruits you shall know them.” – Matthew 7:16

In the ever-unfolding arena of online personalities who claim the banner of Christ, one figure has risen not for his charity, humility, or example—but for controversy, spectacle, and manipulation. His name is Andrew Wilson, host of The Crucible, a livestream show often centered around debates, culture war skirmishes, and Christian apologetics. At first glance, he appears to be a devout defender of Orthodox Christianity. But when one looks past the slogans and into the substance of his actions, a different pattern begins to emerge—one far removed from the teachings of Christ, and disturbingly reminiscent of another spiritual path entirely.

This article does not set out to brand Wilson a Satanist outright—such judgments are not ours to make. But it does raise a troubling question: if one claims Christ while embodying the spirit of the Accuser, is it not worth a second look?

The Manipulation of the Flock

A recent event offers a glaring window into Wilson's behavior: a livestream titled “The TikTok Invasion,” heavily promoted to his followers. Wilson promised entertainment, debate, and commentary, and—most importantly—he tied that promise to monetary donations. Before the stream aired, he raised $2,000 from his Christian audience, under the impression that this would support the promised content.

But the stream never happened—at least, not that night. The audience was left empty-handed. The next evening, Wilson finally delivered a livestream, but even then, he paused partway through to once again request additional money before continuing. He established a financial ransom on content, not as a one-time event, but as a pattern: demanding specific donation thresholds mid-stream before proceeding.

This behavior is not the mark of a servant-leader tending to his flock. It is the behavior of a showman, using the sacred banner of Christianity to mask a transactional hustle. While the early church sold all they had and distributed to the poor (Acts 2:45), Wilson appears to leverage spiritual hunger for personal gain. His followers, largely devout and sincere, seem unaware—or unwilling to admit—that they are being fleeced under the pretense of faith.

The Fruit of the Tree: Behavior Contrary to Christ

It isn’t just Wilson’s fundraising methods that warrant concern. His demeanor, lifestyle, and rhetoric point sharply away from the teachings of Jesus Christ:

Mocking Debaters: Christ, though forceful in truth, never stooped to scorn. Yet Wilson ridicules those he debates with sneering tones and ad hominem attacks, delighting in humiliation rather than conviction.

Treatment of Women: Wilson has been noted to belittle and dismiss women with sarcasm and machismo, contradicting the Gospel ethic of equality and dignity. Mary Magdalene was not mocked by Jesus, nor was the woman at the well. They were uplifted, honored, and transformed.

Lifestyle Choices: The frequent smoking, drinking, and public displays of indulgence suggest not a man striving toward spiritual discipline, but one exalting in base pleasure—a trait traditionally warned against in Christian ascetic traditions.

Joy in Destruction: Wilson relishes “owning” the left, crushing his enemies, and asserting dominance—completely contrary to Christ’s command:

“Love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you” — Matthew 5:44)

Jesus also said in John 8:7 “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone” which Andrew dismisses with the latter of the verse "go and sin no more" suggesting that its okay to do the former. Its this type of "preferences" that Andrew is a master at spinning.

Wilson seems all too ready to lob boulders with glee.

Satanic Echoes? A Comparison with LaVeyan Tenets

Let us consider, for a moment, the Nine Satanic Statements of Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan. Though LaVeyan Satanism is atheistic and symbolic, its values still reflect a moral inversion of Christian principles. Strikingly, certain behaviors attributed to Wilson align more closely with LaVeyan principles than with the Sermon on the Mount.

LaVey: “Satan represents indulgence instead of abstinence.”

Wilson’s lifestyle—smoking, drinking, and scornful speech—celebrates indulgence. Orthodox Christianity, by contrast, holds fasting, sobriety, and humility as marks of spiritual growth.

LaVey: “Satan represents vengeance instead of turning the other cheek.”

Wilson openly mocks, attacks, and humiliates his enemies. He does not seek reconciliation or redemptive dialogue. He seeks dominance and vengeance.

LaVey: “Satan represents kindness to those who deserve it instead of love wasted on ingrates.

This is antithetical to Christ, who ate with sinners, forgave his killers, and washed the feet of traitors.

LaVey: “Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional 

gratification.”

Wilson often seems to revel in wrath, pride, gluttony, and scorn—yet these are condemned as deadly sins in Christian doctrine.

When placed side by side, Wilson's behavior echoes not the humility and love of Christ, but the pride and self-serving philosophy of Satanism. Again, the point is not to declare him a card-carrying Satanist, but to raise the question: if the fruits are bitter, what tree are they growing from?

Selective Scripture, Convenient Christianity

Wilson and his wife Rachel often cite scripture to justify their actions, yet it appears highly selective. Much like the Pharisees whom Jesus rebuked, they strain at gnats while swallowing camels—highlighting verses that support their dominance and dismissiveness, while ignoring the heart of Christ’s message: humility, mercy, and unconditional love.

They rally behind Old Testament thunder while skipping over the New Covenant call to grace. Their Christianity feels less like the Way of Christ and more like a moral tribalism cloaked in pious language.

Jesus wept over the self-righteous. He embraced the outcast. He forgave the unforgivable. He warned his followers against wolves in sheep’s clothing—those who appear righteous but devour the flock.

The Mirror Must Be Faced

This article does not exist to accuse, but to illuminate. The aim is not to call Andrew Wilson a Satanist but to ask: why do his actions so starkly contradict the very Gospel he claims to preach? Why do they more closely mirror the self-serving, mocking, indulgent spirit of LaVeyan Satanism than the selfless, humble path of Jesus Christ?

Christians must not be gullible. The Apostle Paul warned of “false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:13–14)

In the age of the livestream preacher and the online zealot, discernment is more necessary than ever. Let us judge not by words—but by fruit. For in the end, the tree declares itself.

Let he who has ears, hear. Let she who follows Christ, test the spirits. And let us remember the words of the Savior: “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
