  <itunes:subtitle>This contemplative devotional episode reflects on Luke 6:22–23 in the New Living Translation (NLT). Jesus acknowledges that His followers may face hatred, exclusion, and slander for His sake, yet He calls them blessed and invites them to rejoice because of their heavenly reward and connection to the prophets.
Host Nick Oyler helps listeners reframe their experiences of rejection through Jesus’ promises. A simple “Acts of Kindness” practice—a genuine smile—becomes a quiet act of joy and witness in daily life.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;In Luke 6:22–23 (NLT), Jesus blesses those who are hated, excluded, mocked, and cursed as evil because they follow Him. He tells them to rejoice and “leap for joy,” promising a great reward in heaven and solidarity with the ancient prophets.&lt;br&gt;
