Wild Obedience Man

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 33M2

Title: He Was Out Here Catching Rats With a Fishing Pole

Description:

This one’s barely listenable—there’s a train blaring for half of it—but we were deep in the work. We were back behind the camps serving food, handing out waters and lemonade, and talking with people in the dark, loud corners of the city. I met guys catching rats with fishing poles, guys who’ve been out here on and off for 15 years, and a guy named Daniel who was just trying to help clean up the camp. You’ll hear lots of side convos, some hilarious moments, and glimpses of how real this work is. We were just trying to bring some light to the edge of the tracks.

I talk about:

• The train making everything basically inaudible for a while
• Prepping waters and meals for multiple camps
• Meeting Daniel, Robert, and a guy who catches rats for real
• Explaining Mercy Ships and what we do overseas
• Sharing how I got involved with Love City’s street ministry
• My wild story about praying in the woods and meeting Vince
• The power of Holy Spirit nudges and answered prayers

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – “This train is LOUD—but we’re moving through the camps”

05:30 – “Talking Mercy Ships and surgeries overseas”

10:45 – “Rats with a fishing pole? He’s just out here clearing them”

13:15 – “How I got connected to Love City’s street ministry”

18:40 – “Random prayer led me to a stranger in the woods—who does weekly outreach”

🧠 Core Takeaway:

God’s network is wild—he’ll send you into the woods, across a train track, or to the edge of a camp if you're willing to move.

🙏 Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional #33M2 — We were just trying to bring some light to the edge of the tracks.

Title: We’re Just Driving Over the Bridge

Description:

It’s 9:17 PM and we’re leaving the Northern Kentucky Emergency Shelter. We served for about an hour and 15 minutes. I just met a guy named Blake—a brother in the Lord—and we had one of the most real conversations I’ve had in a long time. I’ll post that next. And I also talked to Kevin, a homeless vet who’s been through unimaginable trauma—eight strokes, friends blown up in war—and yet he still believes God was with him. We’re now caravanning in five cars across the bridge into Cincinnati. We’ll be out for another hour, passing out hot dogs, Jolly Ranchers, and maybe just a little bit of God’s love too.

I talk about:

• Wrapping up outreach at the NKY Emergency Shelter
• Driving across the river in a caravan with five cars
• Meeting Blake and Kevin and how it deepened my faith
• The spiritual contrasts in street ministry—darkness and light
• The man from Love City Church who faithfully shows up each week
• Feeding people with hot dogs, mac & cheese, lemonade, and love

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – “Leaving the shelter, it’s 9:17 PM…”

01:10 – “Met a war vet named Kevin—8 strokes and still talks about God”

02:15 – “You meet some in darkness… and then you meet bright lights”

03:00 – “Not about pity—this work always blesses me”

03:45 – “There’s a man who does this every single week. Quiet hero.”

04:40 – “Crossing the bridge now—Cincinnati’s lit up. God bless you.”

🧠 Core Takeaway:

There are unmentioned heroes feeding people in the dark—and God sees every one.

🙏 Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional #33L2 — We’re just trying to spread God’s love, as they say. Toodles, McNoodles.

Title: He Called Me First — And He’ll Never Let Go

Description:

This was the continuation of my conversation with Blake—still inside the Northern Kentucky Emergency Shelter, now sitting down as meals were served. We'd just prayed over the men, and now we were eating and talking about everything: faith, failure, identity, power, and redemption. This wasn’t a scripted interview. This was Spirit-led fire. Blake’s words hit different. We were brothers. The kind forged in fire.

I talk about:

• Explaining the vision for Crumb as “Nike for the Lord”
• Telling Blake about living on the Mercy Ships and launching CRUMB
• Blake sharing how God pulled him out of literal darkness
• Testifying together about the Holy Spirit, surrender, obedience
• Blake describing how God made him wait—and finally filled him
• The difference between men who’ve seen God move and those who haven’t
• Planning a custom shirt for Blake: “From darkness to marvelous light”

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – “It’s called Crumb… it’s like Nike for the Lord”

01:30 – “God blows my mind all the time, bro”

03:20 – “He made me wait… then He came”

05:00 – “You were dead. You were saved. That’s what it means.”

06:45 – “I exhausted everything—nothing else worked but Jesus”

08:20 – “The harvest is plenty, the workers are few… narrow is the way”

10:15 – “Even if they don’t know, their soul knows—don’t play with that”

11:45 – “From orphan to true son—He wants me at His table”

13:30 – “He provides everything—and He *shares* it with us”

14:10 – “Please don’t forget that shirt, bro. I called you for this.”

📖 Scriptures Referenced:

• Romans 8:38–39 – “Nothing can separate us from the love of God”
• 1 John 4:18 – “Perfect love casts out fear”
• John 14:6 – “I am the way, the truth, and the life”
• Jeremiah 29:11 – “I know the plans I have for you”
• Matthew 7:14 – “Narrow is the way”
• Luke 10:2 – “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few”
• James 4:8 – “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you”

🧠 Core Takeaway:

You can’t fake being called by God. If it’s real, it will change everything.

🙏 Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional #33k2 — “I called you… I’ve been looking for a shirt like that.” Amen, Blake. I got you.

Title: He Called Us Out of Darkness

Description:

This was recorded at the Northern Kentucky Emergency Shelter during a Wednesday night outreach with volunteers from my church. We were there to serve the homeless—setting up food, praying over the men, and handing out plates. You’ll hear all the chaos from the back kitchen: hot dogs, cookies, missing ketchup—and then I sit down with Blake. What starts as a quiet moment turns into a holy conversation.

I talk about:

• Setting up for the shelter dinner with church volunteers
• Serving dozens of men who live at the shelter
• Praying over the group before the meal
• Sitting down with Blake and sensing the Spirit move
• Blake’s story of suffering: “a year and 8 months in darkness”
• Why he’s fully sold out for Jesus now
• Trading numbers and promising to make him a custom T-shirt

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – “Let’s take everything inside…” — prepping the shelter kitchen

01:40 – “Hot dogs, cookies, lemonade chaos—feeding the men”

03:00 – “Prayer over the group: ‘We rest in your arms, Lord’”

04:22 – “Meeting Blake: ‘Jesus was my first Master… He’ll be my last’”

06:10 – “Darkness isn’t just fire—it’s suffering. I lived there.”

07:45 – “Blake: ‘I’m sold out, bro’ — 100%”

08:20 – “Let me make you a shirt: from darkness to marvelous light”

🧠 Core Takeaway:

You can be surrounded by noise and still hear the Spirit call someone out of the grave.

🙏 Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional #33j2 — From darkness to marvelous light. Amen, brother.

Title:Come When He Calls — Kevin’s Story

Description:

Recorded outside the Northern Kentucky Emergency Shelter the night of June 11, 2025, just before serving with Love City Church. This is raw and real. Kevin was the first guy I met. A war veteran. He’s had eight strokes. Much of the conversation is hard to follow—his speech broken and scattered—but I hit record anyway. This one’s not about clarity. It’s about documenting what’s true.

I talk about:

• Meeting Kevin, a homeless vet with 8 strokes
• Listening to fragments of war stories, hospital visits, trauma
• Bearing witness to pain, even when it’s nearly inaudible
• Showing up anyway—with binkies, frozen pizzas, and presence
• The reality of street ministry: noise, chaos, Spirit
• Ending the day still in the field, still walking with Jesus

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – “How are you doing, brother?” – Meeting Kevin

00:22 – “You had eight strokes?” – fragments of his story

01:45 – “Blood, explosions, trauma” – war memories surface

03:10 – “Been on my own since twelve” – Kevin’s life unraveling

04:30 – “You’ve been through a lot, brother” – holding space

06:00 – “Volunteers arrive” – street ministry takes shape

07:30 – “Love City Church team checks in” – familiar faces rejoin

🧠 Core Takeaway:

Sometimes the only confession that matters is presence.

🙏 Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional #33i2 — It’s not about the words. It’s about showing up.

Title: Come When He Calls

Description:

This one’s a reflection from my walk at French Park with Yost. He was talking about his husky Nikki—how all he really expects from her is that she treats other dogs with respect and comes when he calls. And it hit me: that’s basically what God asks of us too. Love people. Love Him. Come when He calls. That’s the Shepherd. That’s the life.

I talk about:

• A moment with Yost at French Park
• What he’s learned from training his dog, Nikki
• Drawing the parallel to how God leads us as the Good Shepherd
• The simplicity of obedience: love and response

• Why that standard is both beautiful and doable

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – “So I was talking to Yost at French Park today…”

00:25 – “He said all he wants from Nikki is respect and recall”

00:50 – “That’s what God wants from us too”

01:15 – “Love people, love God, come when He calls”

01:45 – “The most beautiful realization—simple, not easy, but clear”

🧠 Core Takeaway:

God’s ask is simple—treat others with love, and come when He calls.

🙏 Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional #33h2 — Come when He calls. That’s it, man.

Title: Voice Notes in a Church Parking Lot

Description:

All right, that’s it. I’ve got to stop. Y’all need to go to bed. This was just the first campaign in a long war against silence. I’m hoping these episodes drive traffic forever—and one day I’ll hit $10K/month and post a YouTube video like, “I made this by recording voice notes in a church parking lot talking about Jesus with full-blown uncorked ADHD.” You can do it too. Or just pay me.

I talk about:

• Wrapping the first CRUMB promo push
• Dreaming of the $10K/month milestone
• The vision of turning raw obedience into sustainable income
• Voice notes in a parking lot as the strategy
• Joking about a fake $999/month course
• The tension between humor, hustle, and Holy Spirit

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – “All right, that’s enough… you guys have to go to bed”

00:18 – “This is just the first campaign of no more ever again”

🧠 Core Takeaway:

You don’t need polish. You need obedience, a mic, and some guts.

🙏 Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional #33e2 — Voice notes. Parking lot. Jesus. Let’s go.

Title: You’re Gonna Click

Description:

Let’s be real—it’s all in God’s hands. I’ve got to crank out these ads because you are going to click. If you’ve made it this far, you’re already hooked. You’re gonna dive into all the links, listen to the pods, and next thing you know, you’ll be a Samurai for Jesus wondering how you got here. That’s how it works. I just do what I’m built to do, and the Lord handles the rest.

I talk about:

• Trusting the outcome to God
• Why I keep making ads and dropping links
• How transformation sneaks up on people through CRUMB
• A promise: I’ll cook for you and scratch your back if you show up
• Echoing the words of Jesus—His yoke is easy, His burden is light
• The real goal: less of me, more of Him

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – “It’s in God’s hands… I gotta make these ads”
