This episode of 2 Minute Disciple explores Luke 7:11–17, where Jesus raises the only son of a widow in Nain — not in response to a request, but out of pure, gut-level compassion. Host Nick Oyler guides listeners through the contemplative devotional rhythm of slowing down, reading, meditating, and responding in prayer. The episode unpacks the Greek word splanchnizomai — the visceral, overwhelming compassion Jesus felt before He acted — and what it reveals about who God truly is. The daily habit challenges listeners to notice someone who is hurting today and move toward them with the same unsolicited, healing presence Jesus showed the widow.
