Episode 214: Crullers, Sauces, and Walking the Road to Emmaus

This week on Chasing the Rabbit, the pastors take a winding road from debating the proper pronunciation of “cruller” (or is it crawler… or wagon wheel?) to discussing favorite barbecue sauces, getting caught in Savannah rainstorms, and surviving long-distance hikes and rucks. Somewhere between grilled chicken, microwaved foil disasters, and sous vide steak experiments, the conversation turns to one of the most powerful resurrection stories in Scripture—the Road to Emmaus.In Luke 24, two discouraged followers walk seven miles away from Jerusalem, confused and heartbroken after the crucifixion of Jesus. What they don’t realize is that Jesus Himself is walking beside them. Why did He choose to reveal Himself this way? Why the long walk before the revelation? And what does it teach us about how God meets us in our own confusion, disappointment, and everyday conversations?The team unpacks the beauty of this resurrection appearance—how despair turns to joy, how Scripture comes alive, and how Jesus often reveals Himself in the ordinary moments of life.Also in this episode:The great cruller vs. crawler debate continuesFavorite barbecue sauces from Georgia, the Carolinas, and beyondRainstorm survival storiesLongest distance everyone has ever walkedWhy Jeremy may never climb into a top bunk againHow Jason almost burned down the church with a microwavePlus, a special reminder about First Steps, a great opportunity for kids and parents to talk about salvation, baptism, and following Jesus.Listen, laugh, and chase a few rabbits with us.
