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
When the Voice Says ‘You’re Not Enough’ How to Silence the Gremlin Within
In this episode of the Known Disciple Project Podcast, we’re diving into how to recognize, name, and overcome that voice, not by ignoring it, but by reframing it through both psychology and Scripture.
Mark continues the GAILs series by confronting one of the most relentless barriers to discipleship: the inner critic. That whisper of “you’re not good enough” can show up in marriage, work, or calling and if left unchecked, it quietly sabotages the life God has called you to live.
In this episode, Mark shares his own battle with the gremlin in his head, from hiding as a young paramedic to realizing the voice wasn’t truth but a pattern shaped by past experiences. Blending Scripture and psychology, he shows how to name and reframe the critic as spiritual warfare, and how gratitude, identity statements, and biblical truth can silence lies with clarity and courage.
Key Takeaways:
- Your inner critic is a thought pattern, not your identity.
- Naming your gremlin strips it of influence.
- Scripture calls us to “take captive every thought” and replace lies with truth.
- Gratitude and identity statements rewire thought patterns.
- You were created in God’s image, not in the image of doubt.
“You are not the voice in your head saying you’re not good enough, you are the one who hears it, which means you get to decide what to do with it.”
