🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 42c

Title: You're not lost, you're being refined

Description:

Of course there’s a part three—because when I fed the last confessional into ChatGPT again, it handed back ten more scriptures I couldn’t ignore. This one’s for those still walking through the dark middle, wondering if the light will come. These verses reminded me what suffering is doing in secret: purifying, refining, renewing, resurrecting. I’m not here to teach. I’m just showing what it looks like when the Word meets the wreckage.

I talk about:

• Isaiah 53:11 and the light that only appears after suffering
• Romans 12:14 and how blessing defeats evil
• Job 23:10 and why you're not gravel—you’re gold in the making
• Psalm 73:26 and the strength found in nothing but God
• 1 Peter 2:23 and how to entrust pain to the Judge
• Lamentations 3:33 and why God allows pain with purpose
• Hebrews 10:36 and the long obedience required to receive the promise
