🎙️ Episode 35: Crucifying the Idol of Self

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 35Title: Crucifying the Idol of SelfDescription:It’s early Friday morning, June 13th, and I’m recording from my in-laws’ basement before the rest of the house wakes up. Last night we spent time with dear friends, played a hilarious game called Puns of Anarchy, and had some powerful conversations. One topic that resurfaced for me this morning was abortion—but not from the typical debate angle. I share a fresh lens I’m wrestling with, one that cuts to the core of dying to self and trusting God. I also introduce a new framework I’m processing around rest, running, and relationship.I talk about:Hanging with close friends and playing Puns of AnarchyA moment of gratitude for my mother-in-law watching the grandkidsThe idol of self as the root issue in abortion and beyondChoosing trust in God over self-preservationWrestling with the triple R idea: relationship, rest, runMy plan to finally upload a backlog of Crumb episodesGoing to see How to Train Your Dragon with the kids and cousins tonight💡 Highlights & Timestamps:00:00 – Recording early morning from in-laws’ basement 01:40 – Reflections on abortion as crucifying the idol of self 05:30 – Not elevating self over God when it feels like you’re “losing your life” 08:45 – Wrestling with decisions that don’t make sense “on paper” 11:10 – Relationship, rest, run: new framework forming 15:30 – Weekend plans and uploading Crumb backlog 🧠 Core Takeaway:Dying to self isn’t just about big decisions—it’s the daily grind of trusting God when nothing else makes sense.🙏 Closing Line:Talk to y’all later.
