The Choice Ep. 2: Shabbat, Betrayal, and the Woman of Valor

In Episode 2 of The Choice, Ghost and Ashe in America explore The Chosen’s “Shabbat,” unpacking its rich symbolism, moral conflicts, and spiritual lessons. The hosts discuss how this episode reveals each character’s inner struggle before meeting Jesus, from Simon’s betrayal and Matthew’s isolation to Nicodemus’s doubt and Mary’s redemption. Ashe breaks down the deeper meaning of the Sabbath, the biblical roots of the “woman of valor,” and the significance of the empty seat left for Elijah, fulfilled when Jesus arrives to dine at Mary’s humble Shabbat table. Ghost and Ashe tie these themes to modern faith, hypocrisy, and redemption, reflecting on how God meets us where we are. A powerful conversation about faith, conflict, and the moment when grace enters the room.
