🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 39d

Title: Today was the first day I raised both hands in worship

Description:

We’re leaving church, and I had to document something that’s never happened before: I raised both hands in worship for a full seven or eight minutes. As someone who grew up Catholic and always held back physically in church, this was a vulnerable milestone. It may sound small, but it cracked something in my spirit—another layer of pride peeled off, another act of submission laid down. On this Father’s Day, I was reminded of how good my Heavenly Father really is.

I talk about:

• Growing up Catholic and never raising hands in church
• Why it’s felt awkward or vulnerable to do it until now
• The long-standing hesitation tied to pride and fear of being seen
• A powerful Father’s Day message from the pastor who once lit my pastor’s fire
• Feeling tears fall—not from sadness but from holy submission
• Confessing a new spiritual milestone and what it might mean

🧠 Core Takeaway:

Sometimes worship is a physical confession—and even a small act like raising your hands can break something open in your spirit.
