Season 3, Episode 7 Joan's Take on The Chosen

    • Christianity

This episode seemed a bit disjointed to me. We start with Purim, but that seems forgotten by the middle of the episode. We have the introduction of a few new characters (one that you might recognize from a looong time ago) and plenty of scenes only intended to set other scenes in motion. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have lot of talk about!
Maybe one over-arching theme is what does it mean to be a disciple… Andrew and Philip feel like failures because the message caused dissension. Matthew and Mary feel unworthy. Peter questions why Jesus didn’t protect Eden. Can we be disciples and haveso many complicated feelings…? (hint: yes.)
