🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Season 2, Episode 11e

Title: Stack the brick, lay the crumb, take the hit.

Description:

I guess this is it—public obedience has begun, and the war is officially on. Not much left to say here, except that I like this. I like this a lot. The rhythm is clear now: stack the brick, lay the crumb, take the hit, keep walking. That’s the life. That’s the call. Let’s go.

I talk about:

• Stepping into full public obedience
• Embracing the spiritual war that comes with it

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Season 2, Episode 11d

Title: Jesus is embarrassing—and I’m done hiding it.

Description:

After re-listening to Episode 11a, I got a heart-prick from the Spirit: I needed to confess my embarrassment. I’ve been ashamed of Jesus. Ashamed of what obedience looks like. Ashamed to be seen as “that guy.” But today I confess it. Following Jesus is strange, disruptive, uncomfortable—and yes, embarrassing. I’ve hidden behind silence, half-truths, and social media excuses. No more. I commit to being fully seen, misunderstood, and known for Him.

I talk about:

• Being ashamed of Jesus—and finally confessing it
• Why spiritual embarrassment leads to half-obedience
• The fear of getting what I actually want from God
• Why I’ve self-sabotaged for years in the name of false humility
• Rejecting the safe, curated American dream for risky obedience
• Trusting Jesus with both obscurity and influence
• The call to stop looking back and start running

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – “I had a pinprick of the heart—I’ve been embarrassed by Jesus.”

17:30 – “Trusting Jesus is more embarrassing than any risk I’ve taken.”

22:18 – “Sold the house, quit the job… and didn’t tell anyone it was for Jesus.”

25:40 – “Your 38. Quit looking back. Enjoy every moment. Rock and roll.”

🧠 Core Takeaway:

Spiritual embarrassment is just pride in disguise—confess it, crucify it, and follow Jesus anyway.

🙏 Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional S2E11d — Following Jesus is embarrassing. And I’m finally okay with that.

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Season 2, Episode 11c

Title: I commit to being dangerously great.

Description:

It cut off again, but the message remains. This final installment of the 11-series is short and sharp. I reaffirm my commitment to Kingdom greatness—not as a brand, but as a death to self. I lay down every desire at the feet of Jesus and declare, without apology, that I will pursue greatness defined by eternity. I commit to being a dangerous force for good—online, offline, and wherever God sends me.

I talk about:

• Crucifying the flesh that hijacks Kingdom dreams

Title: I commit to becoming great—God’s way.

Description:

I’m not sure where the last one cut off, but this is the continuation. I’m giving myself a couple days to rest, but Monday I go all in. This short follow-up is one final breath before the fire. I say the thing I missed last time: I commit to sharing this with everyone—friends, family, online. No more hiding. No more soft-launching obedience. I speak directly to the concept of greatness and redefine it through crucifixion, sacrifice, and Spirit-led obedience. I’m not chasing applause. I’m becoming a weapon in God’s hand.

I talk about:

• The decision to stop hiding and go fully public with what I’m building
• Preparing for conflict, misunderstanding, and awkward conversations
• Redefining greatness as marked, fruitful, and Spirit-born

Title: I commit to doing it anyway.

Description:

It’s 5:53 AM, and I’ve been up since 2:30 with barely any sleep, spiraling through Twitter, PT, and exhaustion. I record from a foggy, shame-soaked place—but fully awake to the realization that everything I’m afraid of must now be faced. This episode is a raw, relentless verbal commitment. Not a performance. Not a plan. Just a man telling the truth. I list out every fear, failure, and frustration—and I commit to doing it anyway.

I talk about:

• The trap of overthinking obedience while under-executing
• Why perfectionism, fear, and shame keep me off social media
• The decision to commit—publicly and messily—to daily action
• The paradox of wanting to be forgotten while longing to make impact
• My internal war with influence, execution, and spiritual surrender

Description:

It’s 7:21 AM on July 10—and it’s my 38th birthday. I’m headed out to get coffee and taking a few minutes to reflect on what feels like the clearest truth I’ve learned so far: life is not about me.
