🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 42b

Title: Let suffering become intercession

Description:

This is part two of today's journey, recorded after letting yesterday’s pain steep overnight. I asked AI to surface scriptures connected to the crucible I walked through, and the results wrecked me—in the best way. Each verse exposed and affirmed the raw obedience, weary faith, and tested love I shared in the last episode. I walk through them, one by one. This isn’t theology class. This is surrender, search, and Spirit.

I talk about:

• 12 surgically chosen verses about suffering, obedience, and trust
• Why suffering isn’t endured—it’s engineered for reliance
• What happens when joy becomes a spiritual weapon
• The difference between guru content and walking confession
• How I’m trying to love in the middle of pain
• Why obedience—not emotion—is the scoreboard
• Anchoring to the cross, not the cause
