🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 47

Title: I don't think I can do this anymore

Description:

It's a Saturday morning, around 8:19, and I'm leaving Luckman's Coffee after a failed first attempt at recording this. I’m just speaking from the heart now. I woke up and went down the rabbit hole of Twitter—headlines, clips, trending videos. It left me feeling sick, and I realized I'm trading true wisdom for noise. Today’s episode is me processing that in real time. No notes, no polish. Just confession.

I talk about:

• How checking Twitter first thing wrecked my spirit
• The soap opera nature of online “news”
• Social media algorithms as modern false prophets
• The danger of rationalizing daily doomscrolling
• How desensitization is normalizing evil
• My conviction to reject this cycle in order to follow Jesus more closely

🧠 Core Takeaway:

I’ve been justifying my feed consumption for years, but no matter the source, it’s warping my soul and pulling me away from the truth of Jesus.
