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.

How to Build Faith That Outlasts Motivation

Motivation fades. Learn why so many Christians become hearers of the Word but not doers, and how to build a daily plan that creates real follow-through.

If you’ve ever felt fired up to change, promised God you’d be different, and then quietly drifted back to the same habits, this episode is for you. We open James 1:22-24 and unpack why so many Christians become hearers of the Word but not doers.

What You’ll Learn: Why spiritual growth means transformation, not just Bible knowledge. The “mirror” warning in James 1 and what it reveals about discipleship. Why pain and inspiration start change but rarely sustain it. How to stop relying on feelings and start relying on discipline and self-control. The right order: salvation, transformation, actions as evidence. A simple “bookend your day” routine. Two journaling questions to expose where you’re stuck. The “one thing this week” method to build obedience into habit.
