Day 251 — Luke 16:1–13 — Handling True Riches
Article | September 15th, 2026
In Episode 251 of the 2 Minute Disciple, we explore Luke 16:1-13 and Jesus's challenging teaching on money, faithfulness, and true riches. This episode reveals that money is not the true riches—the true riches are spiritual: intimacy with God, transformation of character, eternal impact, and spiritual authority. Through the parable of the dishonest manager, we discover that how we handle money—the small, material things—reveals our character and what we actually value. Jesus makes clear that we cannot serve two masters: either money will be our god, or Jesus will be. Through guided meditation and a practical daily habit of honest stewardship, learn how to track your spending, examine what it reveals about your values, and make one deliberate change toward faithfulness. Join us as we explore what it means to be shrewd for eternity and faithful in the little things.

Day 208 — Luke 10:16–20 — Your Name is Registered in Heaven
Article | August 3rd, 2026
Discover your deepest reason for joy in this transformative study of Luke 10:16-20. The seventy-two disciples return buzzing with excitement—even the demons obeyed them! But Jesus gently redirects their rejoicing: "Don't rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven." This episode explores the profound difference between anchoring your joy in what you do for God versus what God has done for you. Learn why ministry success, spiritual effectiveness, and visible results are not your deepest reason for joy—and why the unshakeable truth that your name is written in heaven is. Through contemplative meditation and honest reflection, examine what your joy is currently anchored to and find the freedom of rejoicing in grace rather than performance. This episode will reorient your joy and anchor it somewhere nothing can touch.
