🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 45

Title: I’m just going at the pace of life right now

Description:

It’s June 26 and I’m recording this from my parents-in-law’s office in Cincinnati. It’s 95 degrees, humid, and I’m about to jump in the pool with my son before heading to Washington Park to meet Jason and Sarah from Mercy Ships. This episode is just a check-in. I reflect on the tension between wanting to launch everything and realizing that life’s pace right now demands something slower, something more faithful. My wife and I are finally on the same page, which changes everything.

I talk about:

• Uploading all the recent Charleston and Cincinnati episodes
• Meeting Jason and Sarah from Mercy Ships at Washington Park
• Trying to live and launch Crumb slowly and faithfully
• The comedy of my attempted full launch two weeks ago
• Sharing parenting duties and managing time realistically
• A mysterious call from a 304 number
• Praying that this project brings anyone who touches it closer to Christ
