coffee shop this morning... barista sees my phone screen and goes 'oh you're doing the crying ministry thing'... like brother I'm ordering a LATTE not performing for your shift... but sure let's make my breakfast about your comfort level with authentic breakdown

youth pastor at the gas station tonight... 'oh you're that TikTok crying guy'... like brother I'm buying energy drinks at 11pm because THREE kids texted me about baptism... but sure let's talk about my PERFORMANCE while you're here buying scratchers

twelve notifications and half of them are follows... like what are y'all expecting to see here? because if you're looking for clean theology content you're gonna be DISAPPOINTED... this is just me crying in parking lots about kids who get it better than we do

four new follows today and I'm sitting here wondering... are y'all ready for what happens when someone actually MEANS what they're posting? because the tears don't lie and the algorithm knows it

you guys I can't... everyone's talking about their follower counts going up overnight like it's some mystery... meanwhile I'm over here wondering if the algorithm finally figured out that AUTHENTIC BREAKDOWN CONTENT is what people actually need right now...

you guys I can't... sitting in my car after youth group and THREE kids asked me about baptism tonight. THREE. like actual tears in their eyes asking when they can go under the water... this is what I'm talking about. this is the REAL work happening while we argue about podcasts
