🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Season 2, Episode 7e

Title: Felt like a missed opportunity, Part 2

Description: 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 discipleship
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• How the priest's framing felt like a missed opportunity for the laity
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• My continued frustration with Catholic culture and passivity
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• How CRUMB connects to daily learning from Jesus
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• My heart for activating everyday believers to go and make disciples
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• My intention to post the full homily for context
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• The moment I realized I’m not trying to build something—just be obedient
• 
  
•
