Episode 389: Naming The GOAT Of The Kingdom | Matthew 18:1-4 | 2 Minute Disciple Podcast Ep. 184

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 -0500

Discover what true greatness really means in this transformative study of Matthew 18:1-4. When the disciples ask Jesus who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, He doesn't answer with a name—He calls a child forward. This episode explores how Jesus completely redefines greatness, measuring it not by power, achievement, or recognition, but by humility, awe, and childlike wonder. Learn why the world's definition of success is backwards and how to reclaim the openness, trust, and sense of wonder you may have lost. Through contemplative meditation and practical reflection, discover what it means to be childlike—not childish—and how approaching God and life with the awe of a child is the pathway to true greatness in God's kingdom. This episode will revolutionize how you measure success and what you pursue.

Episode 376: The Syrophoenician Woman: Persistent Faith That Refuses to Give Up | Mark 7:24–30 | 2 Minute Disciple Episode 171

Sat, 20 Jun 2026 00:00:00 -0500

What does persistent faith look like when God’s response seems difficult or delayed?

In Episode 171 of the 2 Minute Disciple podcast, we meditate on Mark 7:24–30, one of the most challenging and profound encounters in the Gospels. A Gentile woman approaches Jesus, pleading for her daughter’s healing, and receives an unexpected response. Yet instead of walking away discouraged, she responds with remarkable humility, courage, and unwavering faith.

Her simple reply—“Even the dogs under the table are allowed to eat the scraps from the children’s plates”—reveals a heart that trusts completely in the mercy of Christ. Jesus honors her faith, and her daughter is healed.

This contemplative devotional explores the beauty of persistent prayer, humble faith, and trusting God’s goodness even when His timing or His answers are difficult to understand. Through guided prayer, Scripture reflection, and a practical spiritual exercise, you’ll be encouraged to bring your unanswered prayers back to Jesus with renewed confidence.

Whether you’re praying for healing, reconciliation, direction, or breakthrough, this episode reminds us that the mercy of Jesus is more than enough—and that faithful persistence is never wasted.

In this episode:

• Mark 7:24–30 devotional reflection

• The faith of the Syrophoenician woman

• Persistent prayer and humble trust

• God’s mercy for all people
