The Choice Ep. 4: The Rock on Which It Is Built

In this episode of The Choice, Ashe in America and Ghost dive deep into Episode 4 of The Chosen, exploring the pivotal moment when Simon Peter hits rock bottom, morally, spiritually, and financially, only to encounter Jesus in a way that changes everything. The hosts unpack themes of faith, pride, desperation, and redemption through Simon’s struggle to fix his problems by his own hand, contrasting his self-reliance with Eden’s steadfast faith and Jesus’ divine timing. They draw powerful parallels between biblical archetypes and modern life, analyzing Simon’s journey as a portrait of every person who must surrender control before experiencing true transformation. From John the Baptizer’s radical defiance of religious authority to Nicodemus’ curiosity about miracles, Ashe and Ghost illuminate how faith challenges the rational mind and redefines power itself. A moving, cinematic reflection on obedience, grace, and the moment when belief becomes action.
