🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 2

Title: Sunburnt, Sentimental, and Starting a Book

Description:

It’s Mother’s Day. I’m shirtless on deck 11 of a hospital ship in West Africa, watching my kids play while reflecting on the launch of a new book (The Spoken Cosmos), the tension of getting CRUMB’s flywheel built, and the deep gratitude I feel toward the moms in my life—my mom, my mother-in-law, and my wife.

You’ll hear:

• The behind-the-scenes of writing a book with AI (and why it’s actually working)
• Why I believe every global problem could be explained by a lack of a biblical worldview
• A raw, honest tribute to the women who shaped my life—and the cost of leaving for the mission field
• Some chaos from the poolside dad life: goggles, boogers, and kids jumping in the water

This isn’t scripted. This isn’t polished. This is what it means to build while you bleed.
