Today we continue our analysis of season five of The Chosen with a discussion of the fifth episode because of me.

0:16.2

Fifth episode, I'm glad I have the right page of notes pulled up.

0:18.9

I had this panic moment there for a moment.

0:20.5

I was like, wait, which episode are we talking about today? Fifth it is. I have a little bit of

0:24.4

follow-up from the last episode. So I went back and looked at the shaky camp situation that you

0:29.6
