🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 18

Title: Lied to My Wife, Told the Truth to God

Date: Wednesday, May 29, 2025

Location: Backyard chaos, morning mayhem with kids and conviction

Description:

Zach records with his hands full and his heart cracked open.

Between chasing kids, dodging dogs, and managing meltdowns, he drops a real-time confession:

He lied to his wife.

And the weight of unrepented sin crushed him until he couldn’t bear it anymore.

💥 Confession: Two days ago, Zach told a lie.

💥 Reckoning: Today, he told the truth—and watched his wife forgive him.

💥 Testimony: There is no ministry without integrity. And even when it hurts, Jesus is still worth the exposure.

Key Scriptures:

• Proverbs 28:13 – “Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.”
• You can't carry lies into the light and expect peace.
• 2 Corinthians 12:9 – “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
• Zach’s only tattoo. The anchor verse behind every confession he makes. Weakness isn't disqualification—it's the invitation.
• James 5:16 – “Therefore confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed.”
• Healing doesn’t come through hiding. It comes through honest, brutal vulnerability.
• John 8:32 – “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
• Even if it wounds first—truth always walks you back into freedom.

What’s the one lie you’re still carrying that’s keeping you from peace?

Closing Line:

“If I’m going to lead men toward freedom, I can’t fake mine. If I want revival in my house, it starts with repentance in my heart.”
