This contemplative devotional episode of 2 Minute Disciple focuses on Mark 2:13–17 in the New Living Translation (NLT), where Jesus calls Levi the tax collector with the simple words, “Follow me and be my disciple.” Host Nick Oyler walks listeners through a rhythm of slowing down, reading, noticing, meditating, and responding.
We explore how Jesus meets us in our everyday lives—in the very places we might feel most compromised or ashamed—and invites us into a new identity as His disciples. The episode ends with a practical spiritual exercise about creating an “open table” for those who may feel far from God.

We explore how Jesus sees “their faith,” forgives the man’s sins, and then heals his body—revealing His authority and compassion. The episode invites you to consider the power of intercession, spiritual friendship, and being both a carrier and a receiver of Christ’s mercy. A simple spiritual exercise helps listeners “carry someone in prayer” throughout the day.
