🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 33i2

Title:Come When He Calls — Kevin’s Story

Description:

Recorded outside the Northern Kentucky Emergency Shelter the night of June 11, 2025, just before serving with Love City Church. This is raw and real. Kevin was the first guy I met. A war veteran. He’s had eight strokes. Much of the conversation is hard to follow—his speech broken and scattered—but I hit record anyway. This one’s not about clarity. It’s about documenting what’s true.

I talk about:

• Meeting Kevin, a homeless vet with 8 strokes
• Listening to fragments of war stories, hospital visits, trauma
• Bearing witness to pain, even when it’s nearly inaudible
• Showing up anyway—with binkies, frozen pizzas, and presence
• The reality of street ministry: noise, chaos, Spirit
• Ending the day still in the field, still walking with Jesus
