Day 253 — Luke 16:17–18 — The Smallest Point
Article | September 17th, 2026
In Episode 253 of the 2 Minute Disciple, we explore Luke 16:17-18 and Jesus's stunning claim: "It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the smallest point of God's law to be overturned." This episode reveals that God's Word is unshakeable, unchangeable, and more permanent than the physical universe itself. Through the example of divorce, we discover how the Pharisees—and how we—rationalize Scripture to fit our lives instead of fitting our lives to Scripture. Through guided meditation and a practical daily habit of honest examination, learn where you've created loopholes and commit to genuine obedience. Join us as we explore what it means to take God's Word seriously—every detail, every point, every command.

Host Nick Oyler invites listeners to examine their own relationship with the Bible and to let Scripture become a doorway into deeper encounter with Christ, rather than an end in itself. A “faith sharing” practice helps you pass along a truth from today’s reading to someone else. -

Lectio Divina: An Ancient Way to Meet Jesus in the Scriptures
Article | December 14th, 2025
If you’ve ever wanted to move beyond simply reading the Bible to truly encountering Jesus in its pages, there’s an ancient Christian practice that can help you do just that. It’s called Lectio Divina, which means “Divine Reading” in Latin. This isn’t about rushing through a chapter or filling out a study guide — it’s about slowing down, listening deeply, and letting God’s Word speak directly to your heart. For centuries, followers of Jesus have used Lectio Divina as a way to hear His voice, know Him more intimately, and be transformed by His presence.
