About podcast

Welcome to The Known Disciple Project Podcast, a show for believers ready to stop drifting and start living fully aligned with who God says they are. If you’re done with surface-level faith and want to grow in mindset, habits, discipline, and spiritual clarity, without separating your faith from your ambition; you’re in the right place. We don’t do shallow here. This is where Scripture meets strategy. Whether you’re leading a business, raising a family, or chasing a God-given vision; this is your space. This isn’t motivation. It’s spiritual formation.

Welcome to this episode of The Known Disciple Project podcast, a transformative journey designed to bridge personal growth and spiritual development for followers of Jesus. Host Mark Hummel, a passionate disciple who gave his life to Christ at 16, shares his raw and relatable story of faith, doubt, and rediscovery. From his all-in commitment as a young Christian—leading youth groups and earning a Biblical Studies degree—to a painful season of spiraling doubt after identity-challenging conversations, this episode lays the foundation for helping listeners break through stagnation, confusion, and repetitive ceilings in faith, business, and leadership. It’s a must-listen for anyone seeking clarity and purpose in their walk with Christ.

Through storytelling, Mark reveals how overemphasizing "doing" disciple things, rather than "being" a disciple, led to a shallow faith that crumbled under scrutiny. He offers hope by sharing how he rebuilt his faith on a solid identity in Christ, leading to a clear life vision and aligned goals. This podcast promises practical tools to develop both personally and spiritually, empowering listeners to articulate who they are in Christ and live with intention. Tune in to start your journey toward deeper faith and meaningful impact.

Key Takeaways:

- Focus on Being, Not Just Doing: Build a faith rooted in your identity in Christ, not just a checklist of Christian activities.

- Embrace Doubt as Growth: Use challenging moments to deepen your understanding of who you are and what you believe.

- Develop Personal and Spiritual Skills: Invest in personal growth to strengthen your spiritual alignment and life vision.

- Know Your Identity in Christ: Clarity about who God says you are, unlocks purpose and resilience in all areas of life.

- Align Life with Vision: Tie your habits, goals, and actions to a Christ-centered vision for a more fulfilling life.

"Because I know who I am, and I can articulate that to people, I now have this awesome life vision, this clarity around what I'm here to do." – Mark Hummel
