This contemplative devotional episode of 2 Minute Disciple focuses on Mark 2:13–17 in the New Living Translation (NLT), where Jesus calls Levi the tax collector with the simple words, “Follow me and be my disciple.” Host Nick Oyler walks listeners through a rhythm of slowing down, reading, noticing, meditating, and responding.
We explore how Jesus meets us in our everyday lives—in the very places we might feel most compromised or ashamed—and invites us into a new identity as His disciples. The episode ends with a practical spiritual exercise about creating an “open table” for those who may feel far from God. -

What do you get worked up over? So many times, it’s the little stuff of life and we miss out on what Jesus wants us to focus on. I was reminded that before Jesus sent the disciples out to bring in the harvest, Jesus tells them to pray for harvest hands to get the message out about the Gospel. Before we get all worked up, we need to get on our knees and pray.

Who is in the driver’s seat of your life? If we are going to follow Jesus, we have to get out of the driver’s seat and let him drive without being a backseat driver. That means that we let him take us where he wants and to enjoy the scenery. This is way easier said than done, but it is what Jesus is asking of us, so will we let him drive?

There is so much teaching in this chapter and there are some great things that will make you think and what Jesus finishes the chapter with is what struck me. We need to work the words of Jesus into our lives and it will give us a firm foundation that will stand in the storms of life. If we don’t work Jesus’ words into our lives, we will fall flat in the storms of life.
The words that I want to work into my life are from Luke 6:27–28 (The Message): “To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer for that person. Instead of getting mad and fighting back, we can respond by praying for that person, it will do much more for them than my anger.
