Podcasts about Emmaus

In this episode of Outlaw God, Caleb Keith and Dr. Steven Paulson explore Luther's break from Platonic and mystical ideas of revelation, especially the belief that preaching exists to reveal the right way to live. They explain why the law cannot reconnect us to God or make us righteous, and why Luther insisted that the law kills while the gospel gives life through the forgiveness of sins. The conversation also examines how misunderstandings of worship, the Lord's Supper, and the road to Emmaus can turn God's Word into ritual action rather than the proclamation of Christ's promise.

What if the way you encounter God is closer than you think?   In Part 3 of the God Encounters series, we journey with two disciples on the road to Emmaus and discover what happens when Jesus opens the Scriptures to us. They didn't recognize Jesus as He walked beside them, but as He opened God's Word, their understanding changed, their eyes were opened, and their hearts began to burn.   Pastor George reminds us that the Bible isn't just an ancient book—it is living and powerful. Every time we engage with God's Word, we have an opportunity to encounter Jesus, receive revelation, renew our minds, strengthen our faith, and have our hearts reignited with passion for Him.  If you've felt distant from God, lost your passion, or simply want to hear His voice more clearly, this message will encourage you to get back into His Word and let Him speak.   Every fire needs fuel. And the fuel is God's Word.  

Luke 24:33-49

In this episode of The Road to Emmaus, Dr. Scott Hahn is joined by Rob Corzine, the Vice President of Academic Programs at the St. Paul Center. Together they discuss St. Augustine's masterwork, The City of God, showing it to be more than a juxtaposition between the Church and the secular state. At its core, it is a brilliant work of biblical theology. Through their discussion, you will learn how the virtue of religion upholds all of society, what true Catholic patriotism looks like, and why Catholics should be involved in local politics. As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States' founding and the 1600th anniversary of Augustine's City of God, discover how Augustine's insights can make you both a better Catholic and a better citizen.  ✨ Get the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible for FREE ➡️ https://stpaulcenter.com/memberships ___ Other ways to grow with the St. Paul Center: ⛪️ If you're a Priest looking to attend one of our annual Priest Conferences: https://stpaulcenter.co/priestconferences

In Part One of this series on Vision Bill Gruhlkey teaches from Habakkuk 2:1–3 on writing the vision down and making it plain, sharing how putting dreams on paper (and even on a vision board) helped his family see goals fulfilled over time. He challenges you to spend time with the Lord to hear what you're believing for—family, work, finances, relationships, and even big "kick at the moon" faith—then write it down and don't curse it with negative words, since the tongue has power. Bill also shares a Walk to Emmaus testimony about leading by obedience and believing for supernatural miracles, including a healed knee, and cites Scriptures on God's provision and healing (Ephesians 1, Isaiah 53).

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "Maybe this time he really means it" — and then hated yourself for thinking it again? You are not weak. You are not foolish. You are caught in something far more powerful than willpower alone. In this deeply honest and compassionate episode, Leslie Vernick names two forces that work together to keep women stuck in destructive relationships: Hopium — the counterfeit hope dressed in spiritual language — and the trauma bond that keeps feeding it. You will walk away understanding what is actually happening in your mind, your body, and your faith, and you will leave with a clear framework, real questions to ask yourself, and the courage to trade a false hope for a genuine one. Key Takeaways Hopium Is Not Biblical Hope. Hopium sounds like faith. It uses words like trust, submission, forgiveness, and patience — but it places all the weight of your husband's choices onto your faith. True biblical hope, the kind found in Psalm 33, is rooted in God's character alone, not in a husband's potential or his latest promise. Leslie draws a clear and important line: God can change a heart, but God never forces a heart to change. Confusing those two things will crush you. Biblical hope gives you the courage to face reality; Hopium asks you to deny it. Trauma Bonds Are Real, and They Are Not Your Fault A trauma bond is a specific kind of toxic attachment created by three conditions working together: an imbalance of power, intermittent reinforcement (the cycle of warmth and cruelty that hijacks your nervous system), and coercive control, which in Christian settings often includes the weaponizing of Scripture. Leslie explains that trauma bonds are frequently mislabeled as godly virtues — long-suffering, loyalty, unconditional love — which is precisely what makes them so hard to name and so hard to leave. Even the Israelites, after escaping slavery, idealized Egypt and wanted to go back. That is not weakness; that is a predictable, understandable response to long-term trauma. Hopium and Trauma Bonds Feed Each Other These are not two separate problems. The trauma bond creates the neurological and emotional pull toward him regardless of what he does; Hopium gives that pull a spiritual costume. Instead of "I cannot stop wanting him even though he hurts me," it becomes "I believe God will restore this marriage." Instead of "my nervous system is hijacked," it becomes "I just need more faith." Leslie uses the disciples on the road to Emmaus as a powerful anchor: the hope they expected died, but Jesus was still walking right beside them. Your marriage may not become what you prayed for, and that grief is real — but God has not abandoned you. He offers his presence, his truth, and a different kind of hope than the one you expected. How to Tell Whether Change Is Real Leslie answers six listener questions with remarkable clarity, including the one so many women are afraid to ask: how do I know if his change is genuine? She introduces the framework of old history versus new history — what patterns defined the past, and what consistent new patterns are you seeing now, not just during the honeymoon phase and not just when he fears consequences? Genuine change looks like humility without minimizing, ownership without blaming, patience with your healing, and changed behavior that persists even when no one is watching. Using the language of change without the fruit of change is not change — it is manipulation. The HOPE Framework: A Practical Path Forward Leslie closes with a simple, memorable framework to help you take your next step. Honesty: what is actually true right now, what is the real pattern, what is the real impact on you and your children? Ownership: what is his work to do, and what is yours, and what have you been carrying that does not belong to you? Protection: what needs protecting right now: your body, your mind, your children, your finances, your faith? Empowered next step: what is one wise decision you can make today, whether he changes or not? You do not need his transformation to begin your own. Personal Invitation If this episode stirred something in you — if you have been trying harder and praying harder and still feeling crazy, powerless, or trapped — I want you to know there is a next step waiting for you. I am hosting a free webinar called the Four Lies that Make Christian Women Feel Crazy and Powerless in Their Destructive Relationships. We are going to unpack exactly why these beliefs sound so biblical, how they are shaping the way you respond, and what Scripture actually offers instead. This is for the woman who loves God and loves her marriage but is starting to wonder if something has gone deeply wrong. Come and find out what is really true. Register here: https://leslievernick.com/lies Closing Encouragement Wherever you are today — still in the relationship, newly separated, grieving a marriage you never wanted to lose — God sees you. He sees what you have tried. He sees what it has cost you. He sees every time you forgave, waited, hoped, and tried again. He is not asking you to live in denial. He is not asking you to endure destruction and call it faithfulness. Hopium waits for him to change so that you can finally live. Biblical hope helps you live faithfully and wisely whether he changes or not. A trauma bond whispers that you cannot survive without him. The truth is you were made to survive, to heal, and to flourish in the freedom God intended for you from the beginning. That freedom begins with honesty. It grows with wisdom. And it is sustained by a God who is still walking right beside you — even on the road to Emmaus, even when the hope you once carried is gone. You are not alone, and you are not without genuine hope. Take one step this week, and trust that He will meet you there.

Luke 24: 1-35 The women find the tomb empty and are told Jesus has risen. Later, the risen Christ walks unrecognized with two disciples on the road to Emmaus, opening the Scriptures to them until their eyes are opened at the breaking of bread.

August is a bit of an in-between month. Summer isn't quite over, but a new season is beginning. And before everything gets rolling again, we thought it might be a good time for a little huddle.This Sunday we're beginning a new series called Finding Our Way Together. For the next few weeks, we're going to slow down and remind ourselves who we are, what we're trying to do here, and where we believe God might be leading us next.If you've been around Emmaus for a long time, we hope it feels like a chance to remember why we're here.If you're new—or still trying to figure out what you think about church—you picked a pretty good Sunday to show up.We'll begin with a conversation about the church itself: this beautiful, messy, complicated thing Jesus started and somehow continues to build through ordinary people like us.

Luke 24:28-35

The Bible records many times that two or three witnesses must agree on a certain point before it is said to be true. Some of these are: Deuteronomy 17:6, 19;15, Matthew 18:16, 18:19-20, II Corinthians 13:1 and I Timothy 5;19. The Bible gives three undeniable proofs of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. 1. The enemies of God. 2. The creation of God. 3. The people of God. 1. The enemies of God include Pilate, Matthew 27:65, Luke 23:4, Matthew 27:23-24. Pilate's wife: Matthew 27;19. Perhaps the most telling is when the soldiers witness the resurrection but were given much money and told to spread it around that the disciples stole the body. 2. The creation of God also testified silently, in Matthew 28:2, by a great earthquake and an angel from God sitting on the stone, which was moved from the burial opening. Matthew 27:45 declares there was darkness over the land from 12:00 noon to 3:00 PM. Matthew 27:51 states the veil of the temple was divided from the top to the bottom. Psalms 19:3-4 tells us that the even though creation cannot speak, their witness goes out all over this world. 3. The witness of the people of God. Matthew 27:52-53 speaks of physically dead individuals raising from the dead and going into the city and appeared to many. Matthew 28:9-10 records that Jesus told women to tell his disciples of a future meeting in Galilee. Matthew 16:9 tells of the first person who saw him, Mary Magadelene. Luke 24:13-35 speaks of two disciples on the road to Emmaus. God has given many witnesses of his resurrection, more than we can mention. God wants you to know his resurrection is real.

Most people who read the Bible are reading it for the wrong thing.For information. For answers. For a checklist. And when it doesn't deliver, they close it and walk away disappointed. But what if the Bible was never meant to be read like a search engine — or a self-help book — or an instruction manual?Drawing from Luke 24 and the Road to Emmaus, Pastor Aaron unpacks what Scripture is actually designed to do: reveal a person, tell a story, teach a truth, and require a life. This is week one of a new series on Scripture — and it starts with one question: what would change if you read the Bible not for information, but for intimacy?One small habit. Consistently practiced. The power to transform your life.Scripture: Luke 24:13–49John 14:6John 16:13Romans 10:8–11James 1:221 John 5:3–4Resources: The Jesus Storybook BibleCape Town Commitment (Lausanne Movement)The Bible RecapYouVersion AppFor the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel. Stay Connected With Hillside Community Church.Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/c/HillsideCommunityChurchInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/hillsidechurches/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/hillsidechurchesWebsite | https://hillsidechurches.com

Why do we read the Bible? Is it to gain knowledge, or is there something more? In this special episode of The Road to Emmaus, Scott Hahn is joined by his wife Kimberly, Mike Aquilina, and Rob Corzine to discuss the importance of Scripture and understanding it within the life and tradition of the Church, how it leads to the Holy Eucharist, and the necessity to form priests, educators, and lay Catholics in Scripture. This conversation not only provides you with solid answers to these questions, but it also reveals the very heart and mission of the St. Paul Center: to help Catholics encounter Christ through a deeper understanding of Scripture and Tradition.

24:13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. 24:14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 24:15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. 24:16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. 24:17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? 24:18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? 24:19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: 24:20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. 24:21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. 24:22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; 24:23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. 24:24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. 24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 24:26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. 24:28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. 24:29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. 24:30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. 24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 24:32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? 24:33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, 24:34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. 24:35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. 24:36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 24:37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. 24:38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. 24:40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. 24:41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? 24:42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. 24:43 And he took it, and did eat before them. 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in hi...

What if the entire Bible has been telling one story all along? In this message, Pastor DJ takes us to the Road to Emmaus, where Jesus walks with two discouraged disciples and opens the Scriptures to show that everything points to Him. Beginning with Moses and the Prophets, Jesus reveals that the story of redemption has always been about His finished work. Journey through Creation, the flood, and the account of Elisha and the borrowed axe head to discover how these familiar stories foreshadow the cross and the hope found in Christ. As you begin to see Jesus on every page of Scripture, you'll gain a deeper confidence in God's Word and a greater appreciation for the Gospel that has been unfolding since the very beginning.

Why do we volunteer?: That's the question we will discuss at this Sunday's Summer of Hope session. Come join some of our most dedicated Emmaus House volunteers, Emmaus House's new executive director, David-Lee Mattison, and former executive director, Joe Iarocci, to learn more about this ministry and each other.

Have you ever wondered where God is when life gets hard? In this message, Pastor Josh Husmann shares the story of the road to Emmaus and teaches how Jesus is always with us, how God's Word helps us see Him, and how we can recognize Him even in the middle of everyday life.

It is easy to overlook 1 and 2 Chronicles as little more than a repetition of Israel's history told better elsewhere. Scott Hahn reveals something drastically different. In this episode of The Road to Emmaus, Scott Hahn and Shane Owens uncover how Chronicles tells the story of God's kingdom through covenant, worship, and prayer. Together, they explore how these often-neglected books offer one of the clearest visions of salvation history and what they reveal about the Christian life today.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the July 15th episode of the Daily Radio Bible. On day 196 of our journey through scripture, Hunter guides listeners through powerful passages from Isaiah 22–24 and Hebrews 12. Today's readings invite us to consider the sobering messages of judgment, restoration, and hope found in the words of the prophets, as well as the call in Hebrews to persevere in faith, endure God's loving discipline, and be transformed by the consuming fire of His holy love. Join Hunter as he reflects on God's desire to restore and renew us from the inside out, offering prayers for strength, peace, and presence as we continue our walk together through the Bible. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Our God is a consuming fire. This is what Hunter reminds us after reading the scriptures—this fire is not a destructive, external judgment but a purifying, transforming presence within us. Through Jesus, our great champion, God reveals a love that will not let us go, a love that is relentless and restorative. The consuming fire of God's holiness is not something that destroys us, but something that cauterizes, forges, renews, restores, and makes us new from the inside out. Remember the story of the two men on the road to Emmaus. As the resurrected Christ walked alongside them, their hearts burned within them—not from fear, but from the revelation of God's love and truth. It was a fire that restored hope, not left them judged and hopeless. That is the fire Hunter invites us to feel—the fire of resurrection and restoration, the fire that awakens us to God's presence, correction, and discipline so that we might obey and follow Him more closely. God's love, as George MacDonald wrote, loves unto purity. All that is not of love's kind is purified away. This is the fire that burns in the hearts of God's people. This is the work God does—removing all that stands between Him and the beloved, so that nothing hinders the fullness of His presence in our lives. Let us open ourselves to this holy fire. Let us welcome the transforming presence of Christ within. May His relentless love burn away all that is not of Him, and make us into people marked by hope, restored by grace, and filled with the unshakable joy of His presence. That's the prayer Hunter makes for his own soul, for his family—his wife, daughters, and son—and that's the prayer he has for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
