🎙️ Season 2, Episode 7d: Felt like a missed opportunity

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Season 2, Episode 7dTitle: Felt like a missed opportunityDescription: It’s July 6, and after working out I felt like I was supposed to go to church—Our Lady of Victory, my old Catholic parish and grade school. It was the first time we’ve gone to church since being back, and wouldn’t you know it, the gospel reading was Luke 10:9—the exact verse that led me back to Christ years ago. But what happened next kind of wrecked me. The priest’s homily equated the 12 apostles to bishops and the 72 to priests, and never mentioned that we’re all called to make disciples. It felt like he was only preaching to the clergy. Maybe I’m wrong, but it just hit me wrong.I talk about:Going back to my childhood Catholic parish for MassWhy Luke 10:9 is significant in my journeyThe homily's focus on hierarchyMy reaction to the idea that discipleship is just for clergyWhy I believe everyone is called to the Great CommissionFeeling conflicted coming out of church💡 Highlights & Timestamps:00:00 – “I don’t wanna embarrass myself here…”01:08 – “Wouldn’t you know it—the reading is Luke 10:9”02:15 – “He equated the 12 apostles to bishops and the 72 to priests”03:12 – “Aren’t we all called to be disciples?”04:05 – “It felt like the priest was just seeing himself in the story”📖 Scriptures Referenced:Luke 10:9 – “Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’”🧠 Core Takeaway:If the call to make disciples is only for clergy, we’re missing the point—and the mission.🙏 Closing Line:Crumb Confessional S2E7d — Felt like a missed opportunity, but maybe God’s still using it to wake me up.
