🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 10

Title: Hidden Sin, AI Confession, and a Baby on the Way

Description:

This one’s a swirl—half soul spill, half update, and fully real.

In this voice note, recorded at 5:08 AM while staring at the trash-speckled Atlantic behind the Global Mercy, I share what’s been weighing heavy on my heart:

• The rush of our final prep before heading back to Cincinnati
• The emotional weight of my sister about to give birth (as I recorded)
• My brother’s bold step toward fighting human trafficking
• And the 9 unspoken sins I asked AI to help me name—yes, really.

You’ll hear what it’s like to walk through confession, call out hidden lies, and name what’s still controlling me in the dark—while trusting God to break chains and fill what’s exposed.

This episode isn’t flashy. It’s spiritual surgery.

🔥 Highlights & Timestamps:

• 00:30 – Getting ready to leave Sierra Leone: travel chaos, ministry transition, packing
• 01:15 – My sister is having a baby right now 😳
• 02:15 – Proud of my brother David: his letter to the Tim Tebow Foundation

💥 9 Hidden Sins (Named in the Episode):

1. Performance addiction
2. Controlled by strategy
3. Resentment toward God’s silence
4. Secret comparison
5. Judgment of the church
6. Cynical protection of pain
7. Bitterness toward my old self

9. The lie that God will use me only if I fix myself first

🧠 Core Takeaway:
“When you name sin, you break its grip. When you confess it out loud, the healing begins. Even if it started with a prompt and a keyboard.”
