  <itunes:subtitle>This episode of 2 Minute Disciple explores Matthew 6:22–24, where Jesus uses the image of the eye as a lamp and the stark declaration that no one can serve two masters. Host Nick Oyler guides listeners through the contemplative devotional rhythm of slowing down, reading, meditating, and responding in prayer. The episode unpacks how money, comfort, and status have the capacity to quietly enslave us — shaping our fears, decisions, and identity if we let them. The daily habit challenges listeners to identify one thing that has too much power over them and take one small step today to loosen its grip.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode of 2 Minute Disciple, host Nick Oyler leads a contemplative devotional through Matthew 6:22–24 — Jesus’ honest and penetrating look at what happens when our focus becomes divided and our hearts try to serve more than one master.
