Wild Obedience Man

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 33i

Title: The Bird, the Eagle, and the Fire

Description:

Straight from the parking lot again. This one's about X. That’s right—Twitter, whatever you want to call it. It’s a war zone out there and I’m stepping in. I break down what kind of content you’ll find on The Daily Crumb X account: truth bombs, callouts, clarity, conviction, and lightning bolts from the throne room. It’s not about picking sides—it’s about speaking truth in the middle of the chaos.

I talk about:

• Why X (Twitter) feels like a war zone
• The chaos of political and cultural factions
• What I’m bringing to the platform: truth, clarity, callouts
• Most of the content will be totally free
• The Daily Crumb X account—where to find it
• “The bird, the eagle, and the fire” as the visual

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – “Let’s talk about X. X is a war zone.”

01:08 – Red people, blue people, star people—it’s all the same

02:00 – “We’re bringing some new stuff to X”

02:48 – “Shooting off lightning… most of it’s gonna be free”

03:15 – Find me at The Daily Crumb X—look for the bird, the eagle, and the fire

🧠 Core Takeaway:

In the chaos of X, we’re not picking sides—we’re lighting torches.

Title: We’re Invading the Internet with Crumbs

Description:

I recorded this right from the parking lot. Just letting y’all know what’s going on over on Instagram. We’re dropping merch daily—stickers, hats, mugs, T-shirts—and filling the feed with one-liners that’ll punch you in the chest and shoot you straight to the throne room. I’ve got two accounts running: the official Crumb account and my personal one where you can see me living this real, messy, daily dad life.

I talk about:

• Daily merch drops on Instagram
• One-liners built to wake your spirit up
• The two Instagram accounts: @crruminvasion and @seekwhatsetsyoursoulonfire
• Invading the internet with Kingdom crumbs
• A little hometown shoutout to Cincinnati and the Bengals

Title:The 10:19 Promise

Description:

Still on launch day. This was after I left French Park and headed to Crossroads to keep pushing. I laid out the vision for the Brotherhood group—exactly what you’re getting when you pay $10.19 a month. I got fired up laying out the promise, the value, the offer, the rewards. This is the moment I officially opened the doors.

I talk about:

• Daily dares, community, and Crumb merch perks

• Inviting feedback and collaboration from members
• A $100 payout for any product idea that hits $1,000 in sales

Title: Squirrels Might Have Schedules

Description:

This was recorded the same day as Episode 33e—still at French Park, still walking, still stirred up. I ended up bumping into Yost again while out on the trail and we just kept talking. The conversation drifted from internet toxicity to neighborhood apps, turtle biology, snapping turtle sightings, and this sudden theory I had about squirrels running on daily rhythms. I wasn’t with my kids—just crossing paths with other families, swapping creek stories and turtle facts.

I talk about:

• The blurred line between online noise and real-world passivity
• How even anonymous people contribute to cultural decay
• Turtle egg temperatures and how they determine sex
• COVID wildlife spikes and box turtle sightings
• A strange realization about squirrel routines
• A snapping turtle almost taking off my mom’s fingers
• The park looking completely different after honeysuckle clearing

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – Still at French Park, ranting about the anonymous online “greater bad”

03:02 – “Every comment section devolves—it’s a joke”

06:40 – Turtle biology: egg temps, slow metabolism, and 80-year lifespans

09:15 – COVID season and a box turtle boom

11:28 – “I think squirrels have schedules”—a story from grandpa’s chair

14:10 – Snapping turtle encounters and how my mom almost lost her hand

17:55 – Park nostalgia and changes after invasive species removal

If squirrels can keep a rhythm, maybe we should too.

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 33e

Title: Let’s See What God Does

Description:

I'm at French Park, my favorite place in the world, staring at a red-tailed hawk and getting ready to hike before launching Crumb. It's a beautiful day and I'm filled with gratitude. I talk through my journey—my job, my family, the mission, and the ache in my chest that this isn’t the end, but just the beginning. This episode is a full-bodied declaration of what Crumb is, why I’m doing it, and what I pray God will do through it. A stranger walks up mid-recording and unknowingly preaches a dog-training sermon. That’s Crumb.

I talk about:

• Saying no to AI and tactics and yes to the Spirit of God
• The ache that this isn’t the end but a glimpse of what’s coming
• My journey from cubicles to Africa to breadcrumbs
• Why I built Crumb and how I hope to serve
• Childhood prayers and early faith
• The mission behind Crumb merch, money, and ministry
• A dog park conversation that turned into a divine encounter

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – French Park, red-tail hawk, and the joy of walking with God

04:30 – No AI, no tactics—just the Spirit of God and obedience

07:45 – Crumb is born from pain, trust, and 17 years of preparation

14:02 – Childhood prayers, Catholic echoes, and my early faith

22:10 – What Crumb actually is: not religion, not marketing—obedience

31:20 – "We missed everything if we missed God"

35:50 – A funeral photo reminder and the urgency of eternity

43:00 – Becoming an oak tree: an acorn allegory for spiritual growth

50:18 – Financial reality: we sold everything, we’re walking by faith

57:12 – Crumb is for everyone—even if you’re a pimp or a gigolo

1:04:00 – The real dream: radical generosity, Kingdom weapons, and mustard seed missions

1:11:00 – Surprise dog park sermon with Nick and his husky

1:17:45 – Full Crumb pitch: from podcast vision to Substack, merch, and spiritual arms dealing

📖 Scriptures Referenced:

2 Corinthians 10:5 (MSG) – “Demolishing that entirely massive corrupt culture...”

Philippians 1:21 – “To live is Christ and to die is gain”

🧠 Core Takeaway:

Crumb isn’t a brand—it’s obedience in motion, a digital walking club through the woods toward Jesus.

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 33d

Title: Full weird for Jesus. Amen the end.

Description:

It’s launch day. I'm in the truck, driving through fog, fired up on the Spirit (and a little Adderall), flipping the switch for good. This one isn’t for my wife or parents—this is for the Lamb of God. I’m talking out loud, revving myself up, pressing go on CRUMB the way I always meant to. I fast. I pray. I hype myself to tears. If you’re listening, God bless you forevermore.

I talk about:

• Releasing CRUMB for Jesus alone, not for approval
• Pushing past perfectionism to get the system fully connected
• Recognizing the terrifying beauty of the light of Christ
• Owning my weirdness and going “full weird for Jesus”
• Getting the Telegram, podcasts, and onboarding finally launched
• Remembering Grandpa Frank’s “God bless you” legacy
• Channeling ADHD and inner fire into focused obedience

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – “This ain’t for me. This is for the Lamb of God.”

03:10 – “You ever have a moment where your life’s about to change forever?”

05:40 – “No one will understand your walk with God—not even if they think they do.”

08:15 – “We gonna remove scales at scale.”

11:55 – “I’m full weird for Jesus. Amen the end.”

15:50 – Grandpa Frank’s “God bless you” to everyone, everywhere

19:30 – “I’m scared. I don’t want to do this. But I do.”

21:45 – “This is the trailer.” Go to TheDailyCrumb.com

23:30 – “Welcome to the real reel, my friends. We out.”

🧠 Core Takeaway:

This is the day CRUMB truly launches. I’m done apologizing for how God made me—this is full obedience, full weirdness, full send.

🙏 Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional #33d — Welcome to the real reel, my friends. We out.

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 33c

Title: Today is my poop day

Description:

It’s the day. The one where I get everything ready to launch CRUMB. I’m at the edge of the cliff, speaking this out loud to hold myself accountable—because my wife doesn’t believe me. I’ve got PDFs to upload, domains to fix, routines to lock in, and an entire CRUMB system to birth before dinner. Then we go serve the homeless. It’s game on.

I talk about:

• The doubt in my wife’s eyes when I said I’d finish it all today
• Everything I have to build to get CRUMB off the ground
• How “poop or get off the pot” became today’s battle cry
• The nervous jitters of obedience that’s public and costly
• What it means to do this for me, not to prove anything
• Why this moment might be the hinge for everything that follows

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – “No more talking, no more squawking” — the declaration

01:05 – The wife's doubt, the weight of finishing what I started

02:10 – Naming the full CRUMB checklist: PDFs, domains, uploads, routine

03:40 – “It’s all on Zion” — the symbol that popped up mid-drive

04:20 – “Poop day” confession (language warning acknowledged 😂)

05:05 – This one’s for me — locking in the mission publicly

🧠 Core Takeaway:

“At some point, you have to take the leap. This is me doing it. Out loud. For real.”

🙏 Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional #33c — If I come back to this, and it actually is what it is… this’ll be the one.

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 33b

Title: I'm Being Called to Become a Man

Description:

It’s a bonus drop today. I hit record to confess something that’s been burning in my spirit—this tension between my old childish ways and the maturity God’s calling me into. I talk about a quote from Five Marks of a Man, what it means to hold spiritual weight, and how I’ve used progress as a cover for partial disobedience.

I talk about:

● That quote: “There are 15-year-old men and 45-year-old boys”

● The difference between physical and spiritual maturity

● Why “I’ll just do it one more time” is a trap

● How I’ve justified sin in the name of progress

● The lie that the Holy Spirit needs to speak again for me to obey

● What it means to swing the bat, not just walk the locker room

● Why I need to become a man if I’m going to keep doing CRUMB

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – Opening frame: “One of the hardest things about following Jesus…”

02:05 – “There are 15-year-old men and 45-year-old boys”

04:10 – Physical vs. spiritual weight: you can feel it

06:20 – Justifying sin with progress: “I’ve got it 95% beat…”

08:00 – Why the Spirit doesn’t give new instructions daily

10:45 – Becoming one of those men: the ones who hold real weight

12:15 – Stepping into the major leagues of Kingdom maturity

13:50 – Final confession: “Don’t grab the five dollars. You know what that means.”

📖 Scriptures Referenced:

● 1 Corinthians 13:11 – “When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.”

● 1 Corinthians 10:13 – “God is faithful… he will also provide a way out…”

● Hebrews 5:12–14 – “You need milk, not solid food…”

🧠 Core Takeaway:

“If I’m going to be yapping about truth, eternity, and obedience—then I have to live it. No more boyish ways. It’s time to swing the bat.”

🙏 Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional #33b — I’m in the game. I’m on the team. Let’s swing.

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 33a

Title: I think God has me locked in the basement right now

Description:

It’s early—5:54 a.m.—and I’m locked in my in-laws’ basement, afraid to trip the alarm. But spiritually, I think God has me locked down here too. I read the final judgment passage from Matthew 25 and wrestle with its meaning. I question whether I’ve been ignoring the “least of these” out of convenience or fear. This episode is a full-on spiritual audit: giving, praying, obedience. I break down what I now call the “Kingdom Giving Protocol” and realize how much I’ve delayed. I close with a raw, urgent prayer.

I talk about:

• Feeling locked in the basement physically and spiritually
• Wrestling with Matthew 25 and the final judgment
• Asking whether my giving is spirit-led or guilt-driven
• Confronting my failure to pray for or respond to 50+ people in need
• Building a Kingdom Giving Protocol with green/yellow/red light vetting
• Creating a prayer rotation and intercessory mission list
• Breaking the stronghold of fear and hesitation in obedience

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – Locked in the basement—physically and spiritually

02:31 – Matthew 25: the sheep, the goats, and the terrifying question

07:15 – “Am I obeying the King or fooling myself with right-sounding words?”

12:44 – Giving out of emotion vs. giving with eternal ROI

20:02 – The Kingdom Giving Protocol: green, yellow, red lights

25:30 – Naming 50 people to intercede for and building a strike list

33:42 – “You’re not condemned, you’re being called up”

40:50 – Raw prayer: “Faith without fear, Lord”

📖 Scriptures Referenced:

Matthew 25:31–46 – The final judgment and the separation of sheep and goats

Matthew 10:37–39 – Loving Jesus more than family

John 14:15 – “If you love me, keep my commandments”

1 John 2:4 – Obedience as evidence of knowing Him

John 6:44 – “Draw them to you”

2 Timothy 2:26 – “Set them free from the devil’s snare”

Ezekiel 36 – “Give them a new heart”

🧠 Core Takeaway:

The blood covers, yes—but not apathy. If you belong to the King, you love who He loves, even when it’s inconvenient.

🙏 Closing Line:

Lord, I ask that you just make me that vessel.

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 32

Title: Maybe we’re going to the zoo

Description:

It’s June 10th. I start recording with the kids chattering in the background. There’s not much of a plan—just a note that I still need to upload yesterday’s episodes and today’s mostly about being with the family. We might go to the zoo. Maybe.

I talk about:

• Starting the day with the kids

• Uploading old episodes

• Hanging out as a family

• Maybe going to the zoo
