What do you do when your plans keep falling apart? When the dreams you prayed for unravel or the doors you were sure God opened suddenly slam shut? In today’s episode of Curious for Christ, I walk us through Luke 24 and the Emmaus Road—the sacred, in-between space where disappointment meets the presence of Jesus.We explore how spiritual transformation often comes not in the fulfillment of our plans, but in the death of our expectations. Through honest reflection, personal stories, and biblical insight, you’ll be invited to see your disappointment not as the end—but as the beginning of resurrection.In this episode, we talk about:• How Jesus meets us in our confusion and pain• The spiritual process of dying to old identities and dreams• Why disappointment can be a doorway to deeper intimacy with God• The importance of naming your emotions and engaging with Scripture• What it means to walk the Emmaus Road in your own lifeScriptures Mentioned:• Luke 24:12–49• Isaiah 40:31• Psalm references (David’s honest prayers)Key Quote:“Disappointment isn’t the end of your story—it’s where Jesus often shows up to walk with you, open your eyes, and set your heart on fire again.”Resources & Next Steps:• Listen to Episode 86: Healing, Emotion, and Renewal with God• Share this episode with a friend who’s in a season of waiting or discouragement• Leave a comment or DM Alexandra to share your story or ask for prayerRate & Review:If this episode encouraged you, please rate and leave a review.
