This episode focuses on the strain between Simon and Andrew as the consequences of Simon’s decision to inform on other fishermen begin to surface. As the brothers navigate guilt, loyalty, and survival, we see the emotional toll deepen between them. Meanwhile, Nicodemus unexpectedly encounters Mary in the marketplace and is confronted by the quiet truth of her healing. In a separate thread, Gaius and Matthew share a tense but revealing exchange that begins to expose the complexity of their relationship. Together, these moments explore identity, moral conflict, and what it means to belong.

In this episode, we step into the quiet of Shabbat—and the not-so-quiet lives of the people trying to keep it. Mary’s learning how to be in relationship with other people and Matthew is… well, being Matthew. We talk trauma, ritual, regulation, and what it means to belong—especially after you’ve been broken.

Welcome to Gutted. In this first episode, we step into Season 1, Episode 1 of The Chosen—where we meet the characters in motion: still searching, still stumbling, but drawn by something they can’t yet name.

Before the miracles. Before the callings. Before anyone knew what they were becoming.

This isn’t about tidy introductions. It’s about the cracks that make room for something new.

Through a psychological and relational lens, we’ll explore identity, fear, avoidance, and the quiet ache of not knowing who you are anymore. Because healing doesn’t start with being found—it starts with being seen.
