Larry and Jim kick off a multi episode series on The Chosen, one episode per season, with one goal: getting to know Jesus a little better.

Season 1 keeps putting people in the same spot, fully known and terrified of it. Mary Magdalene, hiding under another name. Nicodemus, a respected teacher sneaking out at night with questions he can’t ask in daylight. And a Samaritan woman who runs back to town telling everyone a man knew everything she’d ever done.....imagine having an encounter with someone that knew all of your warts!

We also sort out what comes straight from the Gospels and what the show imagined to help tell the stories.

This week, read John 3 and John 4, and notice what the show added and what it didn’t need to.

You can find The Chosen Season 1 on Prime Video

Culture gave us permission to have sex a long time ago. What it never gave us was permission to feel okay about it afterward. In this episode, Jim and Larry ask whether that leftover ache is guilt, or something else entirely; a sign your body and heart were built for more connection than you were told to expect. We talk design, shame, and the difference between a rule you broke and a wiring you ignored. This isn't a lecture on who's right. It's a conversation about why you still feel the way you feel, and whether you're allowed to stop carrying it.

You know that thing where you're quietly ranking your own sins? Like there's a bad pile and a forgivable pile, and you're just trying to figure out which one you're standing in?

Yeah. This episode's about that.

We're taking the word "sin" back to something simpler, and honestly, harder to hide from. It isn't a category of bad things you did. It's anything that puts distance between you and God.

Which means it's not really about tiers. We're not ranking your stuff against someone else's stuff. Everybody's standing in the same need for grace......that part doesn't move. What does move is the damage. Some choices wreck more than others. We're not pretending otherwise, and we're not interested in flattening that out just to make a tidy point.

If you've spent years keeping your own scorecard. Trying to figure out if you're a "bad sin" person or a "forgivable sin" person.....this one's for you. We're not resolving everything. But we are trying to get you out from under the math.
