🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 19

Title: Trees Got Bigger. So Did My Trust.

Description:

It’s 5:52am. I’m on my parents’ back porch, legs wrapped in a blanket like some old lady, watching the rain hit the trees I grew up with—now towering over me like time itself.

This one’s about trust.

Not the shiny kind.

The kind that gets tested in real meetings, real nerves, real dreams you didn’t plan for.

In this confessional, I unpack:

• A potential interview with Angel Studios (and why I’m shockingly okay either way)
• The bizarre beauty of surrendering outcomes
• Why “being seen” is never the point—but being used by God is
• And a raw, early morning prayer giving it all back to Him

This isn’t a “look at me” episode.

It’s a “Lord, You know me” episode.
