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.
