In The Choice Ep. 3, Ghost and Ashe in America explore The Chosen's third episode, “Jesus Loves the Little Children,” unpacking its hidden symbolism, scriptural depth, and emotional impact. The hosts dive into how this episode reveals Jesus' humanity for the first time, working, laughing, and teaching children in the wilderness, while echoing the seven days of creation through his lessons and labor. They examine how childlike faith contrasts with the cynicism of adults, and how innocence, obedience, and love form the foundation of the Kingdom of God. From foreshadowing Jesus' ministry and the Sermon on the Mount to powerful reflections on humility, morality, and divine purpose, Ghost and Ashe connect the dots between Scripture, storytelling, and real-world faith. The discussion flows from laughter to reverence, highlighting why this “simple” episode might be one of the most profound portrayals of Christ's character ever filmed.

For any fans of the global phenomenon series, The Chosen, this episode will be a treat for you! I sit down with Kirk B. R. Woller, the actor who portrays, Gaius, the Roman centurion.Kirk is a classically trained American actor whose career spans more than three decades and over 170 film and television credits. Known for his roles in Minority Report, Poseidon, The X-Files, and CSI, Kirk has built a reputation for thoughtful, emotionally grounded performances. Most recently, he's captured the hearts of viewers worldwide as Gaius, the Roman centurion in The Chosen. His portrayal brings humanity and depth to a man torn between empire and faith, culminating in one of the series' most powerful redemption arcs. Beyond acting, Kirk is a mentor and teacher of “The Woller Technique,” helping actors refine their craft through authenticity and truth. In this exclusive conversation, we discuss his life in film, the making of The Chosen, and how both the actor and the character are navigating themes of surrender, grace, and transformation.To learn more about Kirk's acting classes or The Woller Technique please visit his website at: https://www.actorklass.com/Check out our sponsors!My Secret Ingredient: www.mysecretblends.comHalfback Mountain Soap: www.halfbackmountainsoap.comIf you'd like to see the video of this interview, please visit our Patreon page and consider becoming a patron of this podcast to help us create even more great content!Visit: www.patreon.com/theburrosofberea

Join Fr Rob as he reflects on the Sunday Gospel readings and how we can apply these reflections to our lives today. 26th Sunday In OTGospel: Luke 18:9-14

In this series, we explore one of H2O's core values—Community—through the lens of the book of Ephesians. This letter paints a rich picture of who the people of God are and what it means to live as one body in Christ. Borrowing insights from Henri Nouwen's Life of the Beloved, we'll reflect on what it means to be Chosen, Blessed, Broken, and Given—not just as individuals, but as a unified people shaped by grace. From God's decision to form a community of blessing, to the call to love, serve, and stand together against the powers of this world, Ephesians tells the story of a people brought together in Christ for the sake of the world. Join us as we rediscover the beauty, challenge, and purpose of being the people of God—together.

Jesus told a parable of a wedding feast, showing that God's kingdom is open to all who truly respond, not just the outwardly religious. He teaches the greatest commandment – to love God and love others.

For centuries, a single line from Paul's letter to the Romans - “not all Israel is Israel” - has been used to rewrite the story of God's faithfulness.  But was Paul really declaring that the Church replaced Israel? Or was he weeping over his people, trusting that God's promises still stand? This episode takes a deep look into Romans 9–11 and Galatians 6, unpacking what Paul meant by “the Israel of God” and how a single mistranslated conjunction has shaped two millennia of confusion.  We'll explore the grief behind Paul's words, the endurance of God's covenants, and the modern drift that has led Christians to read prophecy as poetry and Israel's story as metaphor. As anti-Semitism rises and theology grows foggy, it's time to recover what the Apostle Paul never meant to erase: that Israel's unbelief doesn't cancel God's faithfulness - it magnifies it. Key Takeaways Paul's “anguish and unceasing sorrow” in Romans 9 reveals grief, not rejection. “Not all Israel is Israel” distinguishes the nation from its remnant, not Israel from the Church. God's covenants - Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, and New - remain active and irrevocable. “The Israel of God” (Gal. 6:16) refers to Jewish believers, not the Church replacing Israel. Translation shifts like changing “and” to “even” have fueled replacement theology. The Church's inclusion in God's plan never meant Israel's exclusion. When we forget Israel, we lose the storyline of our own salvation. Chapter Markers (Approximate) 00:00 – Why “Not All Israel Is Israel” Is Misunderstood 05:00 – Paul's Heartbreak and the Faithfulness of God 14:00 – Israel's Covenants Still Stand 22:00 – The Real Meaning of “The Israel of God” 30:00 – How History and Translation Warped the Story 40:00 – Why This Matters for the Church Today 46:00 – God's Faithfulness and the Invitation to Clarity God's promises to Israel were never revoked - they're being fulfilled before our eyes. The story of redemption still runs through Jerusalem. Don't just listen - learn to read Scripture the way Paul wrote it: with tears in your eyes and hope in your heart.

In the Christic Covenant God's relationship with humanity shifts from law-based performance to grace-based intimacy. This covenant emphasizes that our identity and worth are not earned but freely given through faith in Jesus Christ. We are not striving to be noticed or accepted by God. Instead, we live in reconciled rest in the reality that God already sees us fully, knows us intimately, loves us unconditionally, and has chosen us purposefully. This study explores these four aspects through the Scriptures and shows how being seen, known, loved, and chosen flow from God's grace, not our merit.

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.

Emma Mae McDaniel opens Ephesians 1 to remind us that our identity isn't earned — it's received. Before the foundation of the world, you were chosen, loved, and adopted through Christ. In this heartfelt episode, Emma unpacks the beauty of being blessed with every spiritual blessing, redeemed through His blood, and sealed with the Holy Spirit. Let this truth wash over your striving heart and lead you into freedom — because you're already His. https://www.emmamaemcdaniel.com/books - Learn more about your ad choices.
