Day 120 — Matthew 11:11–15 — The Kingdom and the Violent
Article | April 30th, 2026
This episode of 2 Minute Disciple explores Matthew 11:11–15, where Jesus declares John the Baptist the greatest born of woman — and yet announces that the least in the Kingdom of Heaven surpasses him. Host Nick Oyler guides listeners through the contemplative devotional rhythm of slowing down, reading, meditating, and responding in prayer. The episode unpacks what it means that the kingdom advances forcefully and requires those who press in with hunger and intentionality — not passive drifters but active pursuers. The daily habit invites listeners to choose one concrete step this week to pursue the Kingdom of God more actively.

Day 119 — Matthew 11:7–10 — What Did You Go Out to See?
Article | April 29th, 2026
This episode of 2 Minute Disciple explores Matthew 11:7–10, where Jesus defends John the Baptist to the crowds and asks them to examine their own motives for seeking him out. Host Nick Oyler guides listeners through the contemplative devotional rhythm of slowing down, reading, meditating, and responding in prayer. The episode unpacks how John was no crowd-pleasing reed — he was the forerunner foretold by the prophets, unbending in his message of repentance. The deeper question Jesus plants is whether we seek a God who confirms what we already believe or one who challenges us into something greater. The daily habit invites listeners to honestly examine what they are truly seeking from God right now.

Article | April 27th, 2026
This episode of 2 Minute Disciple explores Luke 7:11–17, where Jesus raises the only son of a widow in Nain — not in response to a request, but out of pure, gut-level compassion.

Article | April 25th, 2026

Article | April 24th, 2026

Article | April 22nd, 2026

Host Nick Oyler guides listeners through the contemplative devotional rhythm of slowing down, reading, meditating, and responding in prayer. The episode unpacks how the narrow gate isn’t about religion but about two fundamentally different ways of living — drifting with the culture or deliberately following Jesus at a cost.
