On this episode of Dad Tired, we explore the road to Emmaus and the way friendship and faith intertwine in the Christian life. When Jesus walked alongside two confused disciples, He met them in their questions, in their grief, and in their search for clarity—just as He does with us today. Drawing from Luke 24, the lives of Perpetua and Felicity, and the wisdom of St. Bernard of Clairvaux, we’ll discuss how friendship is essential to holiness, how Christ is present in our shared struggles, and why discipleship isn’t meant to be done alone. If you've ever wrestled with doubt, isolation, or the mystery of God’s plan, this episode will remind you that the Third Traveler always walks beside you.

| 0:47.7 | All right, I'm jumping back this week into the concept of Jesus commanding us to friendship. |
| 1:04.5 | Remember again, we were looking at the kind of farewell discourse where Jesus looks at the |

| 1:17.6 | And the kind of undergirding theme that I'm trying to draw out is that Jesus has just communicated to the disciples |
| 1:24.6 | that Judas, who has been with them for three years, serving alongside them for three years, has now communicated to the disciples that Judas, who has been with them for three years, |
| 1:28.2 | serving alongside them for three years, has now decided to betray that friendship, that for a measure |
| 1:35.8 | of money, Judas is going to kind of spit on his relationship with Jesus. And the nuance here |
