Article | May 9th, 2026
This episode of 2 Minute Disciple explores Matthew 12:38–40, where Jesus refuses the Pharisees’ demand for a miraculous sign and points instead to the sign of Jonah — His own death and resurrection.

Article | May 7th, 2026

Article | May 6th, 2026

Article | May 4th, 2026

Host Nick Oyler guides listeners through the contemplative devotional rhythm of slowing down, reading, meditating, and responding in prayer. The episode unpacks what Jesus means by His yoke — not a life without demands, but a life of demands carried alongside a gentle Master whose presence is the source of rest.

Article | May 3rd, 2026
