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.

From Dream to Direction: Building a Life Vision You Can Actually Follow

In this episode of The Known Disciple Project, Mark Hummel tackles one of the most frustrating roadblocks for growth-minded Christians: how to bridge the gap between having a compelling vision and actually living it out.

Mark addresses one of the biggest frustrations for growth-minded Christians: knowing the life God is calling you to, but not knowing how to actually live it out. Vision alone won’t move you forward - you need a plan.

In this episode, Mark shares his journey from discovering his vision to pursuing it step by step, introducing a practical 1-3-5 year framework that bridges the gap between dreaming and doing. You’ll learn why most goal-setting fails, how to create a vivid vision for your future, and why who you’re becoming matters even more than what you’re achieving. This isn’t about piling on more tasks—it’s about focusing on less so you can have more impact.

Key Takeaways:

  • Most Christians feel stuck between vision and action.
  • A compelling vision must be vivid and emotionally anchored.
  • The 1-3-5 framework helps map your future with clarity.
  • Identity matters more than achievement.
  • Eliminating distractions creates space for what matters.

“High performance is almost never about adding more things to our plate. It’s almost always about focusing on less things and having more impact.”
