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.
