  <description>&lt;p&gt;Are you waiting for another sign from God before taking your next step of faith?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In Episode 174 of the 2 Minute Disciple Podcast, we slowly meditate on Matthew 15:39–16:4, where the Pharisees and Sadducees demand a miraculous sign from Jesus. Although they had witnessed countless miracles, their hearts remained closed to the truth standing before them.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Through guided prayer, Scripture meditation, and contemplative reflection, you’ll discover that Jesus points to one ultimate sign—the sign of Jonah, fulfilled in His death and resurrection. Rather than chasing more evidence, Jesus invites us to respond to the greatest sign history has ever known: the empty tomb.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This episode will help you:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  Reflect on why we often ask God for more signs.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  Understand the meaning of the “sign of Jonah.”&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  Grow in trust rooted in Christ’s resurrection.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  Practice resurrection-shaped living through faith, courage, forgiveness, and hope.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;  Slow down and rest in God’s presence through contemplative prayer.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Spend two minutes with Jesus and allow His resurrection to reshape the way you live today.&lt;/p&gt;
