🎙️ Crumb Confessional — Episode 7

Title: God’s Will ≠ Your Third Browser Tab

Description:

At 4:43am, in a freezing conference room on the Mercy Ship, I had a revelation that honestly embarrassed me a little:

I’ve been treating God’s will like it’s one of three operating systems running in the background of my life—alongside my dreams, my daily responsibilities, and my own ambitions.

But yesterday, I realized something huge:

God’s will isn’t a competing tab.

It’s the master operating system.

It doesn’t interrupt your day. It includes it.

This is a messy, fumbly, half-awake confession about:

• How I’ve been overcomplicating obedience
• The peace that comes from shutting down extra browser tabs
• A chat with ChatGPT about whether my will could ever surpass God’s (spoiler: it can’t)
• And how to live from one question: “Is this God’s will right now?”

💡 Highlights & Timestamps:

• 00:15 – “Three operating systems”: responsibility, desire, and God’s will
• 03:10 – The daily conflict that comes from trying to run them all at once
• 05:45 – The moment ChatGPT reminded me: your will will never surpass God’s will
• 06:40 – Realizing God’s will absorbs your tasks, dreams, and needs—not erases them
• 08:00 – How this mental shift reduced anxiety, CPU usage, and decision fatigue
• 09:25 – Replacing hustle culture, overthinking, and spiritual performance with stillness
• 10:05 – Closing thoughts: one question to run your whole day

🧠 Core Takeaway:

“God’s will is not another demand on your day—it’s the operating system that makes everything else make sense.”
