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

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Season 2, Episode 7eTitle: Felt like a missed opportunity, Part 2Description: I’m following up after church at Our Lady of Victory—the same parish where I went to grade school. Today’s Gospel reading was Luke 10:9, the exact passage that marked the beginning of my journey back to Jesus years ago. But I left feeling frustrated again. The homily emphasized Catholic hierarchy—12 apostles as bishops, 72 as priests—without empowering the rest of us to live as disciples. I looked up the Greek word for disciple: mathētēs, meaning “learner.” That hit me hard, because that’s exactly what CRUMB is. I’m learning from Jesus one crumb at a time.I talk about:The word mathētēs and what it revealed about discipleshipHow the priest's framing felt like a missed opportunity for the laityMy continued frustration with Catholic culture and passivityHow CRUMB connects to daily learning from JesusMy heart for activating everyday believers to go and make disciplesMy intention to post the full homily for contextThe moment I realized I’m not trying to build something—just be obedient💡 Highlights & Timestamps:00:00 – “Remember this Greek word: mathētēs—it means learner.”01:30 – “I’m following up on my little tirade after church…”03:44 – “Aren’t we all called to make disciples?”06:15 – “This is what CRUMB is: Jesus teaches me every day.”08:32 – “If that’s you listening—thanks.
