  <itunes:subtitle>This episode of 2 Minute Disciple explores Matthew 11:7–10, where Jesus defends John the Baptist to the crowds and asks them to examine their own motives for seeking him out. Host Nick Oyler guides listeners through the contemplative devotional rhythm of slowing down, reading, meditating, and responding in prayer. The episode unpacks how John was no crowd-pleasing reed — he was the forerunner foretold by the prophets, unbending in his message of repentance. The deeper question Jesus plants is whether we seek a God who confirms what we already believe or one who challenges us into something greater. The daily habit invites listeners to honestly examine what they are truly seeking from God right now.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;In Episode 119 of 2 Minute Disciple, host Nick Oyler leads a contemplative devotional through Matthew 11:7–10 — Jesus’ searching question to the crowd about John the Baptist: what did you go out to see? A celebrity? A reed bending in the wind? Or a true prophet with an uncomfortable message? The question cuts deeper than history. &lt;br&gt;
🎯Through guided breathing, Scripture meditation, and a practical habit of honest self-examination, this episode invites you to sit with the question Jesus is really planting: when you come to God, what are you actually looking for — and are you willing to receive what He truly wants to give?&lt;br&gt;
