Wild Obedience Man

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Season 2, Episode 13e

Title: I’m playing for eternity

Description:

Wrapping up Sunday, July 13th, I reflect on what this day has revealed. I started with zero tools ready to launch—and now, after a Spirit-led burst of clarity, I’ve got 20–30 tools I truly believe in. They’re ready to help people, priced simply: pay what you want or $10.19. But this isn’t about money. This is about faith. About obedience. About building something at the end of a long trail of pruning, confession, surrender, and trust. I share why Crumb was never supposed to start with product—it started with presence. And now, maybe, it’s time.

I talk about:

• 
  
• 
  
• Starting the day with nothing ready to sell
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• How 20+ CRUMB tools and merch ideas came out of one prompt
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Obeying God’s call to not launch until the soil of my soul was ready
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Why I’m launching even when it looks foolish
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• My prayer to make $10 million in 10 years—to do max good in Jesus’ name
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• The wild tension of eternity-focused strategy in a short-term world
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Explaining Crumb to skeptics, family, and strangers
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• The unseen war I’m walking into with my whole life
• 
  
•

Title: I’m not trying to exploit Marshall

Description:

Still Sunday, July 13th. I pull over mid-drive after feeling a prompting from God to speak to a man named Marshall on the street. I don’t know him, but I stop, introduce myself, and we talk. He’s homeless, on methadone, and trying to survive. I ask to pray for him, and he says yes. Afterward, I wrestle aloud with the tension of sharing moments like this publicly—the ethics, the optics, the heart behind it. This isn’t a “feel good” story. It’s not polished. It’s about obedience. It’s about being pricked by God to show someone love. And it's about holding that sacred tension between faith, privacy, and public witness.

I talk about:

• 
  
• 
  
• Feeling prompted to pull over and talk to Marshall
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• His story of addiction, recovery, and surviving homelessness
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Praying for him openly, with his permission
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Wrestling with whether or not to share the interaction publicly
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• The difference between obedience and optics
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• The crumbs of care that led to my own healing
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Why I believe God can use even this—messy as it is
• 
  
• 
  

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – “Hey brother, can I talk to you for a second?”

01:40 – “Are you homeless?” “Yeah.”

03:00 – “Can I pray for you?”

04:25 – Full spontaneous prayer over Marshall

07:10 – Wrestling with the ethics of sharing it publicly

09:45 – “Maybe I did more damage than good…”

11:05 – “I just want people to feel God’s love”

13:00 – “It wasn’t like, poof. Thank you for the prayer. Life’s perfect.”

14:15 – “Faith has to be walked out…”

16:10 – “There’s no greater pleasure than walking with someone like Marshall”

18:20 – “If you ever see Marshall… help him out”

Faith isn’t about the optics. It’s about listening to the whisper—and obeying, even when no one claps.

Title: What adds the most value?

Description:

Still Sunday, July 13th. After trying to record earlier and getting cut off, I dive into the real question that sparked this whole morning: What adds the most value in the shortest—and longest—timeframe to someone’s life? That question led me down a creative and spiritual rabbit hole, unlocking a massive wave of inspired action for CRUMB. Within 20 minutes, I had months' worth of work done. But it wasn’t just efficiency—it was revelation. This is about building tools, launching the Gumroad store, making merch, and doing it all without fear… because I’ve finally laid it at the feet of Jesus.

I talk about:

• 
  
• 
  
• The question that sparked everything: short-term vs. long-term value
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Using Grok and ChatGPT to build the new CRUMB resource arsenal
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• The low-hanging fruit of pay-what-you-want tools and $10.19 merch
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Why this workflow would’ve taken months without AI and Spirit-led direction
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• The Kingdom principle behind it: seek first, then all else is added
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Surrendering dreams, income, reputation, and pressure to Jesus
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Living by mustard-seed faith in a season full of practical questions
• 
  
• 
  

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – “This was the question I asked…”

01:15 – CRUMB tools, Gumroad store, and merch download

02:40 – Inspired workflow vs. grinding for months

03:55 – “Seek first the Kingdom… and all these things will be added”

05:10 – “God will either give me the desires of my heart or change them”

06:20 – I’m finally at peace whether this blows up or not

07:15 – “Perfect love is like a bouncer at the door…”

08:00 – Closing out: I’m good. I’m ready. He’s enough.

• 
  
• 
  
• Matthew 6:33 – Seek first the Kingdom…

Title: Something beams into my head

Description:

It’s still Sunday, July 13th, and I hop back on to share what hit me this morning. I had planned to walk Moose—but couldn’t find a collar, couldn’t find my shoes—so I delayed it. But even in the quiet scramble, something deeper broke through. I woke up without a plan, debating whether to stay asleep… and then this sharp, unexpected thought beamed in. What follows is the seed of a question that might shape the rest of the day—or more.

I talk about:

• 
  
• 
  
• Moose walk plans falling apart for now
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Hoping for a family walk later—maybe Amberley Village or French Park
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• That moment of waking up unsure, then being hit with clarity
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• The opening of a new reflection I wasn’t planning for
• 
  
• 
  

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – “I’m gonna take Moose on a walk later today…”

00:40 – “I woke up with no intention of doing anything”

01:05 – “Something beams into my head”

01:10 – “It’s me asking…” [to be continued in next segment]

🧠 Core Takeaway:

Even when nothing’s planned, God has ways of planting the question that matters most.

Crumb Confessional #53 — Something beams into my head… and I know I need to follow it.

Title: I got some serious, serious stuff to share

Description:

It’s 7:42 AM on Sunday, July 13th. I’m at my in-laws’ house in Ohio, trying to be quiet while everyone’s still sleeping. I step outside to get a few thoughts out—and one big reason we may be coming back to the U.S.: our dog, Moose. He’s an 80-pound red Lab who’s been lovingly taken care of by my in-laws while we’ve been in Africa. That simple fact carries weight. I start the morning getting Moose ready for a walk, reflecting on what this all means.

I talk about:

• 
  
• 
  
• Waking up quietly at my in-laws’ house
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Our dog Moose and what he’s meant to this season
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Why Moose is one of the biggest reasons we might come back
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Gratitude for family covering us while we’ve been overseas
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Starting the day with a walk to process it all

02:05 – “Maybe I take him on a walk… this”

02:50 – Getting Moose in the car, prepping for the walk

Sometimes the clearest direction comes from the quiet weight of love—and who’s been waiting for you.

🙏 Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional #52 — One of the biggest reasons we might come back is Moose.

Title: That was a blue truck Godwink, baby

Description:

On the way back from the coffee shop, I took a different route—and boom: parked right next to each other was a 1996 blue F-150 and a brand new royal blue F-150. That’s my sign. That’s a Godwink. If you’ve heard the story, you know. If not, DM me and I’ll send you the episode. I don’t need anyone to validate it. God speaks to me this way, and I’m just documenting it, baby. Just a little tip of the cap from heaven.

I talk about:

• Seeing both versions of the blue F-150
• The original blue truck story (go find that episode!)
• Why I took it as a personal sign from God
• Letting go of outside validation
• Documenting the small stuff that moves my spirit

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – Back from coffee, blue truck double sighting

01:12 – “That’s the exact blue from my old F-150 dream”

01:55 – The new royal blue F-150: vision for next year

02:27 – “Maybe it’s delusion. Maybe it’s God. But to me—it’s Him."

🧠 Core Takeaway:

When God speaks to you in personal ways, document it. Don’t explain it away.

🙏 Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional #12d — That’s God, baby. Blue truck. That’s how we do it around here.

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Season 2, Episode 12c

Title: You are awesome because God made you

Description:

I recorded this right after a workout, headed to grab a pineapple smoothie and coffee for my wife. A quick word of encouragement sparked by an Instagram reel of Dan Martell speaking life into a young kid with a dream. I turn that moment outward to say something I needed to hear too: you're awesome—not because of ego or achievement, but because God made you on purpose. This one's short, simple, and from the heart.

I talk about:

• A Dan Martell video that caught my attention
• The beauty of being spoken over with blessing
• Why I believe you’re awesome (even if you don’t)
• The difference between ego and God-given identity
• A call to discover the divine purpose inside you

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – Post-workout reflections and a pineapple smoothie run

01:07 – “Has anyone ever told you you’re awesome?”

🧠 Core Takeaway:

You were fearfully and wonderfully made—on purpose, for a purpose.

🙏 Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional #12c — Discover the awesomeness of you, because of Him.

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Season 2, Episode 12b

Title: Calling all Spirit-filled people who are afraid to talk about it

Description:

This one pours out right after 12a, still on the walk, still on fire. I read a reflection that confirmed the assignment and immediately turned it into a call: if you’re filled with the Spirit and afraid to speak, you have a home in Crumb. I confess my obsession with perfect strategy, renounce algorithmic validation, and give full permission to anyone who’s burning for God to go public. It’s wild, raw, and all in. I end by reclaiming the word “dogs” and declaring a new kind of disciple.

I talk about:

• A word that confirmed 12a and cut straight to the core
• Why I’m done building Crumb for the algorithm
• A call to the hidden, Spirit-filled ones
• Rage against internet cruelty and spiritual distraction
• What actually changes the world (daily death)
• Reclaiming “dogs” for disciples: DAWGG
• Testifying as obedience, not performance

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – “If even one man hears this…” – reading the reflection

06:44 – “You have a home in Crumb” — call to Spirit-filled believers

13:20 – Letting go of the fantasy of a perfect Crumb rollout

25:02 – “We're destroying ourselves online” — cultural confrontation

36:40 – Changing the world starts with inner death

50:19 – DAWGG: Disciples Always Want God’s Glory

1:01:55 – Ending the walk, declaring discipline as holy

📖 Scriptures Referenced:

Luke 10:20 – “Rejoice that your names are written in heaven”

John 8:32 – “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free”

🧠 Core Takeaway:

Stop waiting for permission. If the Spirit is burning in you, testify.

🙏 Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional #12b — Let’s flood the internet with crumbs ‘til the river runs with living water.

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 12a

Title: I'm done apologizing for what God's doing in my life

Description:

It’s 4:17 AM on July 12, and I’m out walking, lit up with fire and inspiration. No filter today—just full transparency about what Jesus is doing in my life, what I’m dreaming for my family, and how I’m going after Kingdom work in Sierra Leone. I reflect on the early days of hiding my faith, the cultural shame around dreaming big, and the supernatural way God has rebuilt me crumb by crumb. I end with prayer, laughter, and a bold declaration that I will no longer stay silent.

I talk about:

• How Jesus transformed my life over the last eight years
• The tension between bold vision and staying humble
• Sustainable rehab and farming models for Sierra Leone
• The frustration of social media silence and God's bigger plan
• Letting go of performance and trusting the Spirit fully
• Why I'm done making apologies for my faith or my dreams
• Seeing myself as a toddler with a paintbrush in God’s Kingdom

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

54:30 – Breaking social media silence: one follower, no replies

1:01:44 – The airplane analogy: truth perspective and declaring boldly

1:18:29 – On Abraham Hicks, deception, and surrendering control

📖 Scriptures Referenced:

Psalm 105:1 – “Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done”

🧠 Core Takeaway:

I won’t shut up about what God is doing—not for my comfort, not for culture, and not for anyone else's approval. This is Jesus’ story.

🙏 Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional #12a — I’m just a toddler with a paintbrush, saying, “Daddy, can I help?”

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Season 2, Episode 11f

Title: I don’t have anything to fear—but you might.

Description:

I’m about to go hit golf balls with Ryan, but first, a quick voice journal. I’ve been thinking about what happens if I actually become great—like, above the norm. Will people fear me or follow me? I’m realizing it’s not really about me. If people fear the message, they’ll have to confront Jesus. And if they follow, it better not be me they’re chasing—it better be the crumbs that lead to Him. I reference John the Baptist, unpack the cost of pointing to truth, and confess how freeing it is to stop fearing everyone else’s discomfort. I really don’t have anything to fear anymore.

I talk about:

• The binary of becoming feared or followed
• The call to be a pointer—not a performer
• How Jesus Himself upset people—and still does
• Releasing the fear of being misunderstood
• Why Crumb must stay anchored in obedience and direction
• Preparing to launch this thing publicly without flinching

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

00:00 – Driving to hit golf balls and reflecting on earlier commitments

02:18 – “If I become great… people will either fear me or follow me.”

04:45 – “I’m not the one to follow—Jesus is.”

06:32 – “I don’t fear anything. But you might—because Jesus will confront you.”

08:10 – “People are going to pick up crumbs. And I’m here for that.”

10:25 – Pulling into the parking lot at 91 degrees, ready to swing

🧠 Core Takeaway:

If I do this right, people won’t fear me—they’ll have to face Jesus.

🙏 Closing Line:

Crumb Confessional S2E11f — I don’t fear this anymore. I’m just laying crumbs.
