Day 196 — John 7:40–52 — Galilee, Really?
Article | July 22nd, 2026
Discover the difference between knowing about Jesus and truly knowing Him in this convicting study of John 7:40-52. The crowd dismisses Jesus because He's from Galilee, not Bethlehem—they know the Scriptures but miss the Messiah standing before them. This episode explores how knowledge can become a barrier to relationship and how theological accuracy can substitute for intimate encounter. Learn why Jesus isn't impressed by what you know about Him, but moved by your willingness to encounter Him and be transformed by Him. Through contemplative meditation and honest reflection, examine where your knowledge of Jesus has become comfortable and stale, and discover how to move from information to intimacy. This episode will challenge you to surrender your categories and truly know Jesus.

Day 114 — Matthew 7:21–23 — Not Everyone Who Says Lord, Lord
Article | April 24th, 2026
This episode of 2 Minute Disciple explores Matthew 7:21–23, where Jesus delivers one of His most sobering warnings: not everyone who calls Him Lord will enter the kingdom — only those who truly know Him and do the Father’s will. Host Nick Oyler guides listeners through the contemplative devotional rhythm of slowing down, reading, meditating, and responding in prayer. The episode unpacks the crucial difference between activity for God and genuine closeness with God, and how the will of the Father begins with knowing and loving the Son. The daily habit invites listeners to set aside ten minutes with no agenda — simply to be with Jesus.
