CRUMB Confessional

🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 39a

Title: I’m just a dude trusting God’s gonna do something with this

Description:

It’s Father’s Day, June 15, and I’m driving through Newtown after buying a new Carhartt shirt and listening to Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris discuss the chaos of the internet and institutional collapse. I reflect on algorithmic decay, moral erosion, and the collective brain-melting that’s defining our era—and contrast it with the CRUMB model: long-game discipleship, truth-seeking, and small acts of obedience. I talk through fake news, AI deepfakes, and culture wars, and call out to listeners to recalibrate their identity around Jesus. This is my honest attempt to fight darkness with crumbs.

I talk about:

• Upgrading to XL Carhartt shirts and feeling stronger on Father’s Day
• The chaos of the internet as described by Peterson and Harris
• Why Twitter (X) promotes the worst impulses in us
• My rationale for CRUMB as a countercultural truth-based model
• The Spoken Cosmos tool I’m building to help discern truth
• Why love must overpower fear if we want anything to change
• The hard call to follow Jesus as the only coherent response to global breakdown
