Shifting Beliefs to Break Unwanted Patterns
In this episode of The Known Disciple Project podcast, host Mark Hummel explores why we keep doing things we don’t want to do; like mindlessly scrolling, eating junk food, or hitting snooze; and how to break those patterns by addressing the beliefs driving them. Drawing from his early days as a Christian, Mark shares a personal story of intense spiritual habits that faded when his beliefs didn’t align with his actions. He offers three key insights to help listeners shift their identity and create lasting change, rooted in faith and practical steps. This episode is a must-listen for growth-minded Christians seeking to align their actions with their calling as disciples.
Mark explains that actions stem from beliefs, not just willpower, which often fails without an identity shift. He highlights how the internal story we tell ourselves shapes our decisions and introduces a powerful question to transform beliefs: “What do I need to believe about myself to act differently?” Supported by scriptures like Proverbs 23:7, Romans 12:2, and 2 Corinthians 10:5, Mark emphasizes renewing the mind and inviting God into the process. He also provides two daily reflection questions to build self-awareness and align actions with whom you want to become. Tune in to discover how to stop unwanted habits and grow closer to Christ.
Key Takeaways:
Beliefs Drive Actions: Your behavior reflects what you believe about yourself, not just your willpower.
Shift Your Inner Story: The narrative you tell yourself shapes your decisions; change it to change your patterns.
Ask the Key Question: Reflect on “What do I need to believe about myself to act differently?” to align beliefs with desired actions.
Daily Reflection: Ask, “What did I do today that reflects who I want to become?” and “What did I do today that reveals what I believe about myself?” to build awareness.
Invite God In: Pray through these questions and rely on God’s guidance, as transformation is impossible without Him (Mark 10:27).
“Transformation doesn’t start with action; it starts with belief.” – Mark Hummel
