🎙️Episode 46: If we just lived the Sermon on the Mount

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 46Title: If we just lived the Sermon on the MountDescription:It’s Friday morning, June 27th. I’m sitting in a parking lot outside Luckman's Coffee after reading through Matthew 5–7 on my Bible app. No script. Just heart. I reflect on Jesus’ teachings, the tension of living them out, and how this whole thing—CRUMB, this confessional, even my parenting—is built on trying to do what He says. The sermon on the mount exposes me, invites me, and gives me a blueprint to follow.I talk about:How Jesus lived what He preached, unlike the PhariseesWrestling with lust, hypocrisy, and obedience in daily lifeThe real cost of building your life on Jesus vs the worldWhy CRUMB exists as a personal anchor for obedienceThe danger of justification cloaked in “American morality”Wanting to leave a legacy for my kids rooted in the gospelHow God changed me when I had nothing left but crumbs💡 Highlights & Timestamps:00:00 – Parking lot Bible app scroll leads to Matthew 504:41 – Jesus’ authority vs the empty show of religion10:15 – The hidden cost of American justifications18:12 – “Are we actually doing what Jesus says?”23:45 – My slow trust was built crumb by crumb27:50 – Lust, sunglasses, and Charleston confessions34:00 – "If we all lived this, the world would change"39:16 – I'm doing this even if I never make a dime47:10 – Legacy, kids, and trusting God’s provision53:35 – This is the only thing that ever worked for me📖 Scriptures Referenced:Matthew 5:7 – “You’re blessed when you care...”Matthew 5–7 – The Sermon on the MountMatthew 6:24 – “You cannot serve both God and money”Matthew 7:21 – “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord...’”Ecclesiastes – Enjoy your food and drink; it’s God’s giftRomans 11:17 (alluded) – Grafted into His familyJohn 15 (implied) – Remaining in the vineLuke 6:45 (implied) – What the heart is full of🧠 Core Takeaway:If we actually lived the Sermon on the Mount, almost everything we complain about in this world would go away. But doing what Jesus says—daily, visibly, quietly—is the real test.🙏 Closing Line:Crumb Confessional #46 — I’m just a little lonely boy in a parking lot with a Bible app, saying yes to Jesus one crumb at a time.
