🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 44e

Title: You Just Never Know What They’ve Seen

Description:

It’s my third week in a row doing homeless outreach, and today I met William—who jumped off a four-story parking garage twice while on drugs and survived. We prayed together, and I’m hoping to help him get into the Salvation Army house in Norwood next week. I also ran into Kevin again, who’s now told me he’s seen 27 people die in front of him. This is a short one, but I needed to document it—to remind all of us what people out here are carrying.

I talk about:

• William’s story of jumping off a garage twice and surviving
• Our prayer together and plans for him to enter rehab
• Running into Kevin again and hearing more of his trauma
• The horrific things these men have seen—suicide, murder, addiction
• Why homeless ministry is unpredictable and essential
• A reminder that you just never know what someone’s been through
