🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 11

Title: From Baby Girls to AI Doomscrolls (and Everything In Between)

Description:

It’s 4:30 AM. I’m supposed to be taking a 4-hour security course so I can legally exit the ship in two days. But before that, I needed to dump my brain, heart, and spirit into this confessional.

Today’s voice note covers:

• The birth of my niece (surprise-spoiled by my mom 😅)
• A house visit with no electricity, but full of ginger beer and family
• A surreal community college classroom clash where the professor refused to leave
• A student breaking into tears over abandonment—and finding healing in mustard seed hope
• 6+ hours of AI research that left me with equal parts dread and awe
• And the bizarre emotional whiplash of living between Sierra Leone’s poverty and Silicon Valley’s predictions

This episode is what it looks like to be a man stuck between two timelines, two kingdoms, and two worlds—trying to stay faithful in both.

🔥 Highlights & Timestamps:

• 00:30 – Surprise baby girl! Welcome, Hallie
• 01:45 – The ginger beer hilltop visit: James' mountain-side home and joyful chaos
• 04:20 – Classroom mutiny: lecturer won’t leave, we get kicked out of our paid room
• 06:00 – Social work students + mustard seed tears = unexpected Kingdom moment
• 08:45 – WhatsApp as the most powerful tool in West Africa (and maybe CRUMB's future)
• 10:10 – Deep dive into AI predictions, danger, and the next 2–5 years of global disruption
• 13:30 – What happens when you're between a mountain village and Mars-level tech?
• 15:00 – Wrapping up with memory card hunts, birthday saxophones, and a surreal sense of peace

🧠 Core Takeaway:
“I spent the morning in a village with no electricity… and the night absorbing predictions of AI ending civilization as we know it. Somewhere in between, Jesus is still King.”
📖 Underlying Scriptures + Themes:

• Matthew 6:34 — “Do not worry about tomorrow…”
• Ecclesiastes 3 — A time for everything…
• Psalm 24:1 — “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.”
• James 1:5 — Wisdom for the walking tension

Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional #11 — from baby girl joy to end-of-world tech dread… the Kingdom still advances, one surrendered day at a time.
