Day 254 — Luke 16:19-31 — Reversal of Fortunes
Article | September 18th, 2026
In Episode 254 of the 2 Minute Disciple, we explore Luke 16:19-31 and the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. This episode reveals a devastating reversal of fortune: the rich man who enjoyed luxury while ignoring Lazarus's suffering ends up in torment, while Lazarus is comforted at Abraham's side. The core message is clear: the rich man wasn't condemned for his wealth but for his complete lack of compassion. He saw suffering and did nothing. Through guided meditation and a practical daily habit of intentional compassion, learn to see the Lazaruses in your life and respond with action. Join us as we explore what it means to be persuaded by Jesus's resurrection enough to actually change how we live.

Day 117 — Luke 7:11–17 — The Widow of Nain
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. Host Nick Oyler guides listeners through the contemplative devotional rhythm of slowing down, reading, meditating, and responding in prayer. The episode unpacks the Greek word splanchnizomai — the visceral, overwhelming compassion Jesus felt before He acted — and what it reveals about who God truly is. The daily habit challenges listeners to notice someone who is hurting today and move toward them with the same unsolicited, healing presence Jesus showed the widow.
