This episode of 2 Minute Disciple explores Matthew 11:7–10, where Jesus defends John the Baptist to the crowds and asks them to examine their own motives for seeking him out. Host Nick Oyler guides listeners through the contemplative devotional rhythm of slowing down, reading, meditating, and responding in prayer. The episode unpacks how John was no crowd-pleasing reed — he was the forerunner foretold by the prophets, unbending in his message of repentance. The deeper question Jesus plants is whether we seek a God who confirms what we already believe or one who challenges us into something greater. The daily habit invites listeners to honestly examine what they are truly seeking from God right now.
