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.

Grit and perseverance matter, but pushing through the wrong way leads to burnout and bitterness instead of growth. Mark and Justin talk about how to build real grit without becoming miserable, and how to keep your heart soft while your resolve gets stronger.

You’ll Learn: The difference between healthy perseverance and grinding yourself into the ground. Why community and rest are part of building real grit, not the opposite of it. How to keep a joyful heart while pushing through hard seasons. Why grit rooted in identity outlasts grit rooted in willpower alone.
