sick and hAlarious: Encountering God in it All

Layne and Abigail journey with the travelers on Emmaus and their encounter with the resurrected, unrecognizable Jesus. They discuss what resurrection means in the face of empire and how we can recognize Jesus in this world. Join them and encounter God in the sick and hAlarious!
