🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 20

Title: Snails, Skyline, and the Shift Into Build Mode

Description:

It’s 4:57am. I’m laid out on my parents’ living room couch, the verse of the day still fresh on my phone:

“For God is sheer beauty, all generous in love, loyal always and ever.” — Psalm 105 (MSG)

Yesterday was a gift.

A deep joy.

A shift from brainstorming to building.

A long hike in the rain.

An interview that went well.

And a reminder, via a little bowl of Skyline chili, that even the best days still carry weakness.

In this episode, I talk through:

• Why yesterday felt like the most clarified Crumb day so far
• The Mercy Ships docuseries interview and what I sensed God doing through it
• A rainy walk through the woods with my kids (and a God-timed snail lesson)
• Screwing up my Skyline order and the fallout of ignoring my food intolerance
• Seeing my sister and brother-in-law become parents—and what it stirred in me
• A clear spiritual transition: from Crumb creation → Crumb deployment

This isn’t just a memory log. It’s a spiritual checkpoint.

One of those rare days where you can feel Heaven turning a page in real time.
