  <itunes:subtitle>This episode of 2 Minute Disciple explores Matthew 7:21–23, where Jesus delivers one of His most sobering warnings: not everyone who calls Him Lord will enter the kingdom — only those who truly know Him and do the Father’s will. Host Nick Oyler guides listeners through the contemplative devotional rhythm of slowing down, reading, meditating, and responding in prayer. The episode unpacks the crucial difference between activity for God and genuine closeness with God, and how the will of the Father begins with knowing and loving the Son. The daily habit invites listeners to set aside ten minutes with no agenda — simply to be with Jesus.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>In Episode 114 of 2 Minute Disciple, host Nick Oyler leads a contemplative devotional through Matthew 7:21–23 — perhaps the most sobering passage in the entire Sermon on the Mount. People who prophesied, cast out demons, and performed miracles — all in Jesus’ name — and yet He says: I never knew you. Activity for God is not the same as closeness with God. 
🎯Through guided breathing, Scripture meditation, and a practical habit of unhurried stillness, this episode invites you to honestly examine whether religious busyness has quietly taken the place of genuine intimacy with Jesus — and return to the one thing that matters most.
