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.

Mark takes on a topic most of us wrestle with but rarely voice: doubt. Whether it’s doubt about God, your calling, or even your own worth, it often feels like a threat to faith. But what if doubt isn’t the enemy—it’s an invitation?

In this episode, Mark reframes doubt through the lens of John 20, showing how Jesus responded to Thomas not with condemnation but with compassion. He reveals how curiosity, not certainty, becomes the true antidote to doubt, and why better questions - not perfect answers - lead to breakthrough faith.

Key Takeaways:

  • Doubt isn’t evil; it’s a signal to go deeper.
  • Curiosity opens the door to clarity and growth.
  • Jesus modeled engaging doubt with compassion, not condemnation.
  • Certainty may not be possible, but curiosity keeps us moving forward.
  • Great questions are tools for transformation and deeper intimacy with God.

“Doubt is not a sign something’s broken, it’s a sign something’s waiting to be explored.”
