🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 33j2

Title: He Called Us Out of Darkness

Description:

This was recorded at the Northern Kentucky Emergency Shelter during a Wednesday night outreach with volunteers from my church. We were there to serve the homeless—setting up food, praying over the men, and handing out plates. You’ll hear all the chaos from the back kitchen: hot dogs, cookies, missing ketchup—and then I sit down with Blake. What starts as a quiet moment turns into a holy conversation.

I talk about:

• Setting up for the shelter dinner with church volunteers
• Serving dozens of men who live at the shelter
• Praying over the group before the meal
• Sitting down with Blake and sensing the Spirit move
• Blake’s story of suffering: “a year and 8 months in darkness”
• Why he’s fully sold out for Jesus now
• Trading numbers and promising to make him a custom T-shirt

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – “Let’s take everything inside…” — prepping the shelter kitchen

01:40 – “Hot dogs, cookies, lemonade chaos—feeding the men”

03:00 – “Prayer over the group: ‘We rest in your arms, Lord’”

04:22 – “Meeting Blake: ‘Jesus was my first Master… He’ll be my last’”

06:10 – “Darkness isn’t just fire—it’s suffering. I lived there.”

07:45 – “Blake: ‘I’m sold out, bro’ — 100%”
