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.
Hosted by Mark Hummel
The Judgment Trap: Why You Feel Condemned, Even When No One Says a Word
In this kickoff episode of a powerful five-part series, host Mark Hummel takes us into the heart of one of the most quietly destructive forces in the life of a disciple: internal judgment.
Mark opens a five-part series with a hard but freeing question: are you really being judged, or just believing you are? While the sting of judgment feels like it comes from others, the loudest condemnation often comes from within.
In this episode, Mark shares personal stories and biblical truth to reveal how internal judgment - shaped by childhood wounds and limiting beliefs—can quietly sabotage our discipleship. He introduces the GAILs framework (Gremlins, Assumptions, Interpretations, Limiting Beliefs) to help listeners uncover the hidden scripts that keep them stuck and disconnected from God’s truth. This isn’t about silencing others—it’s about facing the voices in your own head with honesty, grace, and freedom.
Key Takeaways:
- Judgment cuts deepest when it echoes hidden fears about ourselves.
- God’s judgment brings truth and love, not shame.
- Internal judgment grows from early filters and false beliefs.
- The GAILs framework exposes mental patterns that sabotage growth.
- Awareness is the first step to freedom and maturity.
“The weight of judgment is rarely about what people say, it’s about what we believe.”
