What I love about “The Chosen” is that it plausibly fills in the gaps in the Gospels. Hasn’t everyone wondered what in the world happened that made it possible for Simon and Andrew to just drop everything and leave their lives? There’s no way that came out of nowhere: a random stranger walks by, says, “Come follow me,” and they are just magically struck so forcefully by the Spirit that they leave. Call me jaded, but I never bought that. That’s not how human beings work. SOMETHING happened to prepare them for that moment.
The Apostles did it... maybe we should, too.
