Day 256 — Luke 17:5–6 — Increase Our Faith
Article | September 20th, 2026
In Episode 256 of the 2 Minute Disciple, we explore Luke 17:5-6 and Jesus's teaching on faith that acts. This episode reveals that the apostles' request for increased faith misses the point—they don't need stronger faith; they need to use the faith they already have. Through the image of mustard seed faith moving mountains, we discover that faith grows through exercise, not through passive reception. Just like muscles build strength through use, faith builds strength through obedience. Through guided meditation and a practical daily habit of courageous obedience, learn how to exercise your faith muscle and move the mountains in your life. Join us as we explore what it means to act on faith even when you don't feel ready.

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.
