The Choice (S4E2): Confessions

Ghost and Ashe in America walk through season four episode two of The Chosen, which opens with John the Baptist appearing to Jesus in a dream with broken chains and ends with Matthew finally apologizing to Peter at the altar of Pan. In between, the disciples sit Shiva on the open road, Andrew discovers he is no longer the anxious one, and Jesus drags everyone to Caesarea Philippi where the pagans are bringing goats into the temple for purposes that are not sacrifice. The hosts unpack why he brought them to the gates of hell to give Peter his new name and why "on this rock I will build my church" comes with "get behind me, Satan" three verses later. Then the conversation gets personal. Matthew confronting Peter on the road. The principle that you apologize to repent, not to be forgiven. Turning harmony into an idol and how false decorum has gutted the Western church. The 501(c)(3) trap. Seventy times seven and how cycles of revenge end. And Ashe sharing the story of her brother's killer being released from prison this past February and the choice she has been working through ever since.
