🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 3

Title: Let Me Do It vs. Let God Do It

Description:

It’s Monday morning. I’m sitting alone on deck 9 of the Global Mercy ship, watching the sun rise over Freetown while wrestling with one deep spiritual question:

Am I letting God do the work, or am I still trying to prove myself?

In this episode, I open up about:

• A verse that wrecked me this morning (Ephesians 2:10, MSG)
• The “let me do it” spirit of self-sufficiency—and how it shows up in Peter, religion, and my own head
• The lie that you need to be in peak shape to be used by God
• The brutal gift of sciatic pain and why I’m in awe of the people around me who carry so much more
• A closing prayer of surrender for weak bodies, full plates, and Kingdom obedience

This episode is slower. Softer. But just as surgical. If you’ve ever felt like you're too weak to be useful—this one’s for you.

• 00:34 – Reading Ephesians 2:10 in The Message translation
