🎙️ Episode 49a: We didn’t even say Jesus once

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 49aTitle: We didn’t even say Jesus onceDescription:It’s 4:16 AM on June 30, and I’m walking alone through my parents’ neighborhood, still processing the family party we hosted yesterday. We shared our Mercy Ships journey with over 40 relatives—but something’s bothering me. We never mentioned Jesus. I wrestle with whether people truly understood the why behind what we’re doing, and how to balance bold testimony with quiet faithfulness. I pray through the tension, the missed moments, and the deeper call to live—and speak—for God.I talk about:What I noticed while presenting to 40+ family membersHow much has really happened in our Mercy Ships journeyRegret over not explicitly mentioning Jesus or Mercy Ships’ missionA missed opportunity at church and lingering disconnectionHow to discern when and how to share what God is doingThe tension between platform and humilityA raw prayer surrendering all results to God💡 Highlights & Timestamps:00:00 – Early morning walk after the family party03:45 – Realizing we didn’t mention Jesus once in the presentation08:30 – Wrestling with “do-gooder” perception vs. gospel reality12:10 – Missed opportunity at church for the kids and for testimony16:50 – Should we share more publicly or let our life speak for itself?22:00 – Stories of miracles and seeds planted through Mercy Ships30:30 – A prayer of full surrender over missed moments and future fruit📖 Scriptures Referenced:Luke 10:19 – “I have given you authority…”Romans 10:14 – “How will they hear without someone preaching to them?”Romans 8:26 – “The Spirit Himself intercedes… with groanings too deep for words”🧠 Core Takeaway:Sometimes the greatest gift we can give is simply telling the truth about what God is doing—boldly, humbly, and in His timing.🙏 Closing Line:Crumb Confessional #49a — I offer up everything we’re doing, everything we’re not doing—everything, Lord—is yours.
