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.

The Biblical Pattern for Real Leadership

Great leaders are first great followers. Mark and Justin unpack why leadership without spiritual formation becomes ego-driven, reactive, or hollow.

Most Christian leaders want influence, impact, and results, but many skip the part that actually forms them: learning how to follow before they lead. Mark and Justin talk about Christian leadership, spiritual formation, identity, humility, burnout, and prayer.

What You’ll Learn: Why the biblical pattern of leadership almost always includes a hidden season of preparation, formation, humility, and identity work before public influence begins. The difference between the performer, the controller, and the convicted leader. Why prayer, Scripture, silence, and listening to the Holy Spirit are essential practices for becoming a leader God can trust with influence. Why leadership culture starts with self-awareness, values, identity, and followership.
