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.

“Did That Really Happen?” How Interpretations Hijack Our Mind and Our Faith
In this episode of The Known Disciple Project, we’re digging deep into the sneaky mental habit we all fall into: interpretation.
Mark continues the GAILs series with a powerful look at one of the mind’s most common traps: interpretation. Ever found yourself angry after an argument that only happened in your head? Our minds fill in blanks with stories to make sense of what we see, hear, and feel but those stories are often wrong. In this episode, Mark unpacks how unchecked interpretations distort truth, damage relationships, and block spiritual growth. Drawing from his coaching work with couples in business and biblical examples of how Jesus modeled curiosity, he shows how disciples can replace judgment with understanding and truth.
Key Takeaways:
Interpretations are quick, subconscious stories our minds create and they’re often false.
Misinterpretations cause breakdowns in relationships and communication.
Curiosity is a spiritual discipline that interrupts destructive thought loops.
Jesus modeled curiosity through over 300 questions in the Gospels.
Scripture, prayer, and community help renew how we interpret life.
“Curiosity is the opposite of just believing lies.” - Mark Hummel
