🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Season 2, Episode 1

Title: I follow a God who can do all things—so why do I get to choose when I don’t give?

Description:

Welcome to Season Two. I don’t totally know what’s changing, but something is. I’m no longer just working out my own mess with God—I feel like we’re stepping into something together. And it starts with obedience. Today, I confess the tension I’ve been feeling about ignoring messages from young men in Africa asking for help—some real, some maybe not. But I can’t ignore the conviction anymore. If I say I’m here to mentor young men, I can’t choose the convenient ones.

I talk about:

• 
  
• 
  
• Why I messaged a boy from Sierra Leone after 17 ignored calls
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• A second connection I regret possibly missing for good
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• The tension between wisdom, boundaries, and obedience
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• The fear of being scammed vs. the fear of ignoring Jesus
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Why Season 2 feels like God saying “Okay, let’s do this together”
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• Honest regret over missing opportunities to love like Jesus
• 
  
•
