In this episode of The Known Disciple Project Podcast, host Mark Hummel tackles one of the most important, but most confusing, questions disciples face: What is my calling? If you’ve ever felt stuck, aimless, or like your hard work has no real meaning, this conversation will help you reset your focus and discover a path forward rooted in both personal clarity and biblical truth.
Mark shares personal stories of trying to “work harder” only to find himself running in circles. He challenges the modern obsession with uncovering some mysterious, perfect calling and instead reframes life purpose through the lens of Scripture and science. According to both research and the Bible, having a vivid, emotionally compelling life vision helps us live with greater focus, discipline, joy, and spiritual depth.
Listeners will learn how to create a vision for their life that aligns with God’s purpose, starting with Jesus’ words in Matthew 22:37–39: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart… and love your neighbor as yourself.” Mark teaches how to take inventory of your talents, gifts, and “superpowers” to build a personal vision that brings meaning while staying anchored to truth.
Key Takeaways:
A vague or aimless life often comes from not having a clear target.
Your “calling” isn’t hidden, it’s rooted in loving God, loving others, and using your gifts.
We are responsible for our effort, not outcomes, God handles the results.
“Working harder isn’t the answer when you’re already working hard and still feel stuck.” - Mark Hummel
