🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 44a
Title: We Needed This Trip
Description:
It’s early morning, June 25th, walking through my parents’ neighborhood in Cincinnati after flying back from Charleston. This confessional is a full reflection on the trip my wife and I just took—four days of restoration, deep connection, and divine alignment. I share what made it so impactful for our marriage, what broke me open spiritually, and how God used every detail—food, gospel choirs, even vision sessions—to realign us. There’s more to come, but this one sets the stage.
I talk about:
- Our marriage finally getting a four-day stretch of kid-free time
- The best food trip we’ve ever had—scallops, swordfish, and double breakfasts
- The Juneteenth gospel concert on the plantation that broke me in the best way
- Our vision session using ChatGPT and Post-it notes to realign our futur
- How “Half the Sky” and CRUMB are now part of a shared Kingdom mission
- The cultural and spiritual collision of Charleston and Sierra Leone
- Why this trip confirmed that God still has His hand on our marriage and mission
đź’ˇ Highlights & Timestamps:
00:00 – Walking through my childhood neighborhood, post-trip glow
04:45 – Food memories and vacation philosophy (“It’s vacation, don’t worry about money”)
09:40 – Marriage context: different personalities, faith as foundation, learning to enjoy each other
16:10 – Magnolia Plantation + the gospel concert that moved us to tears
23:20 – The spiritual moment during a slave hymn that connected to my testimony
29:15 – A marriage healed and realigned—vision sessions, Post-its, and purpose
37:00 – CRUMB + Half the Sky: Kingdom assignments clarified
43:00 – Charleston’s deep link to Sierra Leone and slavery history
50:05 – Bonus memory: Civil War cannons, great tour guides, and kids’ Charleston souvenirs

(None explicitly quoted, but spiritual reflections are woven throughout)
🧠Core Takeaway:
A single week of uninterrupted time can restore what a whole year of chaos tried to erode—God used this trip to realign our hearts, marriage, and mission.
🙏 Closing Line:
Crumb Confessional #44a — My wife and I are equally yoked, and God’s hand is still on this.
