🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 33M2

Title: He Was Out Here Catching Rats With a Fishing Pole

Description:

This one’s barely listenable—there’s a train blaring for half of it—but we were deep in the work. We were back behind the camps serving food, handing out waters and lemonade, and talking with people in the dark, loud corners of the city. I met guys catching rats with fishing poles, guys who’ve been out here on and off for 15 years, and a guy named Daniel who was just trying to help clean up the camp. You’ll hear lots of side convos, some hilarious moments, and glimpses of how real this work is. We were just trying to bring some light to the edge of the tracks.

I talk about:

• The train making everything basically inaudible for a while
• Prepping waters and meals for multiple camps
• Meeting Daniel, Robert, and a guy who catches rats for real
• Explaining Mercy Ships and what we do overseas
• Sharing how I got involved with Love City’s street ministry
• My wild story about praying in the woods and meeting Vince
• The power of Holy Spirit nudges and answered prayers

00:00 – “This train is LOUD—but we’re moving through the camps”

05:30 – “Talking Mercy Ships and surgeries overseas”

10:45 – “Rats with a fishing pole? He’s just out here clearing them”

13:15 – “How I got connected to Love City’s street ministry”

18:40 – “Random prayer led me to a stranger in the woods—who does weekly outreach”

🧠 Core Takeaway:

God’s network is wild—he’ll send you into the woods, across a train track, or to the edge of a camp if you're willing to move.
