Spiritual Warfare: How to Recognize and Resist the Enemy
Article | December 7th, 2025
We live in two worlds at once — the physical, seen world and the spiritual, unseen world. While we can touch the trees, hug our family, and see the houses we live in, there’s another dimension we can’t physically perceive. Yet, it’s just as real. In this episode of the Joyful Disciple Podcast, Kylie and her dad, Nick Oyler, dive deep into the reality of spiritual warfare, sharing Scripture, ministry experiences, and practical encouragement for believers.

Mark Chapter 1
Article | May 7th, 2022
In this chapter, the action comes fast and furious, it’s kind of like how I like to read on audible when I’m reading along, cranked up to 3x speed. You can just feel how fast things are happening and then while it was still dark, Jesus got away from everyone to pray and we catch our breath. That moment just speaks to my heart and reminds me of how important it is to get away from the speed of life and the crush of people to just be with God on 1x speed or slower. The other thing that jumped off of the page to me was that Jesus touched a leper. You never touched a leper, because it would transfer over to you and you would be unclean too. But Jesus touched him and transferred his wholeness to the man. That is so cool, God is here and he has come to make us whole.

Matthew Chapter 9
Article | April 13th, 2022
What strikes me the most in this chapter is Jesus’ heart for those on the outside of the religious elite. He seeks out the down and out and those far from religious purity and he eats with them, has compassion on them, heals them and urges his followers to pray for them and for workers to reach them with news of his kingdom. He is not following the normal procedures of the religious elite, he is announcing that everyone is welcome in his kingdom. The question that comes to mind is if I am learning from Jesus, am I as concerned about those on the outside as Jesus is?
