audio bible, daily bible, daily devotion, discipleship, personal growth, self care, spiritual growth, spiritual journey, spiritualityWho is Jesus? That is still the question that needs to be answered by followers of Jesus. This question is the heart of the 2 Minute Disciple Podcast, to discover who Jesus is so that we can follow him better. This podcast is for seasoned Jesus followers who desire to spend more time in the Gospels to get to know Jesus better. It is also for serious seekers desiring to discover who Jesus is for themselves and gain wisdom that will help them on their spiritual journey.
What is the answer to this sincere question, who is Jesus? He is the one that God had been promising that would come to rescue his people, usher in His kingdom and put things to rights. He is the one who heals the sick, raises the dead, casts out demons and sends out his followers to do the same. He is God in the flesh, not a distant God with his arms crossed waiting to zap us, but a God who walks among us as one of us. He has been the plan from the beginning and he is here. Do you believe it? -
Matthew Chapter 8

audio bible, daily bible, daily devotional, personal development, spiritual growth, spiritualityStay Calm, that is the theme of this chapter. We see this storm of people coming to Jesus to be healed and he calmly heals all of them. Even when everyone is coming to him and we wants to move on, he calmly goes on his way. Then comes the real storm and Jesus calmly calms the storm and the disciples are amazed and so am I. I can have a professional calm in crazy moments, but on the inside I’m still freaking out. However, Jesus’ calm is from head to toes and it comes from his reliance on God. That kind of calm is what I’m learning from Jesus. What are you learning from him?

Sermon on the Mount Part 7

audio bible, daily bible, daily devotional, personal development, personal growth, self care, spiritual growth, spiritualityThis week, we have taken some time to listen to Jesus words and let them sink in to our hearts. I have been working these words into my life and I’m seeing a difference. These are truly foundational words that can help us live our lives right side up. This is not a one time fix, but these are the things that we can ponder and daily work them into our lives. The thing that makes Jesus’ words so powerful is that he lived them out and showed us what life looks like when it is lived right side up. I have been working forgiveness into my life and it has really lightened my load. What words of Jesus are you working into your life?

Acts Chapter 27

audio bible, daily bible, daily devotion, jesus, personal development., spiritual growth, spiritual journey, spiritualityAll through Acts, we have seen God move his people to spread the message of Jesus and his new life from Jerusalem to the ends of the world. He is now taking Paul to Rome as a prisoner on a ship through a storm. Paul is assured that he will survive to get to Rome, but not without a shipwreck disaster to go through. We find that God did what he said and continued to give Paul an audience for his message.
This makes me think about my calling to this podcast, it kind of feels like I have been through a shipwreck to get here. However, we are almost to 2000 downloads and quit a bit of encouragement to keep going. Once we finish Acts tomorrow, we will begin again in Matthew Chapter 1 for season 2. -
Acts Chapter 25

audio bible, daily bible, daily devotion, jesus, personal growth, spiritual growth, spiritualityIn this chapter, we find Paul appealing his case to Caesar. The Jews wanted him brought back to Jerusalem so that they could kill him and Paul knew that God wanted him to get to Rome so that he could proclaim the Gospel to Caesar and others in Rome. In the meantime, Paul gets to share the Gospel with another leader named King Agrippa. God just kept putting the audience before Paul and all that Paul had to do was speak. That got me to think about the audience that God has put before me through this podcast. My job is to stay faithful and keep reading the Gospels and Acts and sharing it with anyone who will listen. Who is your audience?
