🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 39c

Title: Even a fighter like me has to put the sword down sometimes

Description:

I recorded this while driving to church, after two intense Father’s Day episodes. This one’s quieter—more of a confession about the unknown, the exhaustion, and the spiritual tension I live in. I talk about my weariness, the temptation to numb out, and the challenge of trusting God with both the chaos and the rest. I reflect on the tension between doing and surrendering, and call out to anyone listening—especially repeat listeners—to reach out and let me know why they’re still here.

I talk about:

• Wrestling with the unknown and staying faithful anyway
• My lifelong battle between numbing and trusting
• Acknowledging my spiritual fatigue and desire to rest
• The risk of turning even CRUMB or Jesus into an idol
• My longing for connection with real listeners
• Offering my phone number to hear from someone—anyone—out there
