Episode 353: Two Blind Men Healed by Jesus: Faith, Mercy, and Spiritual Sight | Matthew 9:27–34 | 2 Minute Disciple S5E148

Thu, 28 May 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Episode 148 of 2 Minute Disciple Season 5 centers on Matthew 9:27–34 and the powerful encounters between Jesus, two blind men, and a mute man oppressed by a demon.

As the blind men cry out, “Son of David, have mercy on us,” they reveal a spiritual insight that many religious leaders still lacked. Before healing them, Jesus asks a deeply personal question: “Do you believe I am able to do this?” Their answer becomes an invitation for all of us to examine the posture of our own hearts.

This contemplative Christian podcast episode guides listeners through a gentle rhythm of slowing down, reading Scripture, noticing, meditating, responding in prayer, and practicing a simple spiritual habit. Together, we reflect on faith that trusts in who Jesus is, the mercy He offers, and the different ways people respond to His work.

This episode is for anyone seeking clarity, healing, renewed faith, or courage to bring honest prayers before Jesus. It is a reminder that Christ still opens blind eyes, restores broken voices, and meets us with mercy.

Episode 352: Jairus’ Daughter Raised: Trusting Jesus When It Feels Too Late | Mark 5:35–43 | 2 Minute Disciple S5E147

Wed, 27 May 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Episode 147 of 2 Minute Disciple Season 5 explores the deeply moving story of Jairus’ daughter in Mark 5:35–43. Just as Jairus receives the worst news imaginable — “Your daughter is dead” — Jesus speaks five life-giving words: “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.”

This contemplative Christian podcast episode invites listeners into a quiet place of trust, especially in moments when it feels like God has arrived too late. Through a gentle rhythm of slowing down, reading Scripture, noticing, meditating, responding in prayer, and practicing a daily spiritual habit, we reflect on the faith of Jairus and the authority of Jesus over death, despair, and hopelessness.

Jesus walked into a house full of mourning, took a little girl’s hand, and called her back to life. And in the same way, He still meets us in places where hope feels buried and reminds us that He is never too late.

This episode is for anyone carrying disappointment, grief, delayed prayers, fear, or the ache of waiting on God. It is a reminder that even when circumstances seem final, Jesus is still at work.

Episode 351: Jesus Delivers the Demon Possessed Man: Freedom Through Christ’s Authority | Mark 5:1–13 | 2 Minute Disciple S5E144

Sun, 24 May 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Episode 144 of 2 Minute Disciple Season 5 journeys into one of the most intense and hope-filled encounters in the Gospels: Jesus and the demon-possessed man in the region of the Gerasenes from Mark 5:1–13.

This contemplative Christian podcast episode reminds us that no life is too broken, no bondage too strong, and no darkness too deep for the authority of Jesus Christ. While the world had abandoned this man to isolation, shame, and torment, Jesus crossed a storm to reach him personally—and everything tormenting him bowed before the Son of the Most High God.

Through a peaceful rhythm of slowing down, reading Scripture, noticing, meditating, responding in prayer, and practicing a daily spiritual habit, listeners are invited to honestly examine the areas of life that feel unbreakable and place them before Jesus.

This episode speaks to anyone wrestling with fear, addiction, shame, spiritual exhaustion, destructive patterns, or hopelessness. It is a reminder that freedom is found not in our strength, but in the authority and compassion of Christ.

Episode 144: Matthew Chapter 21

Wed, 27 Apr 2022 09:00:00 -0500

There are two things in the first part of this chapter that I have totally missed over the years of reading and studying this passage. First of all, Jesus kicked out the money changers and the those selling animals in order to make room for what should really happen in the temple, healing and worship. I never caught the fact that his actions freed up space for the lame and blind to come in and get healed by Jesus. I have always gotten caught up in the audacity of Jesus to go in and turn over tables and his red faced anger that I missed the point of it, healing and worship. I also never caught the fact that the children who were shouting Hosanna in the streets followed him in worship into the temple. They were running (and we all no that you can’t run in church) and praising God. I’m sure that the lame that had just been healed were also running around. This just blows me away and it says something to me, we put up roadblocks to healing and worship unintentionally. We need Jesus to come in and break them down in order to make room for true healing and worship. What are the roadblocks in your life that Jesus needs to knock over?
