Bidemi Mark-Mordi's Podcast

We are living in a time where noise is celebrated, speed is rewarded, and visibility is mistaken for value. Yet beneath all of that, something deeper is happening. We are entering what I call The Builders Economy. In this episode of The Nevertheless Show, I introduce a shift in thinking that moves us away from quick wins and public applause, toward depth, structure, and legacy. This is a conversation for those who are not just trying to trend, but to build something that lasts. Many people want results without foundations, exposure without formation, and influence without responsibility. But in a builders economy, what matters most is not how fast you rise, but how well you are rooted. In this episode, you will discover: What defines a builders economy and why it is emerging now Why foundations matter more than visibility The difference between momentum and sustainability How hidden seasons prepare us for lasting impact Why God prioritises structure before spotlight 📖 Scriptures referenced: Matthew 7:24–27 1 Corinthians 3:10–11 Luke 16:10 Hebrews 11:10 If you have felt the tension between chasing relevance and building significance, this episode will help you choose wisely. 👉 Like, Comment, and Subscribe to stay connected to the series.

The Nevertheless Show | The Deconstruction of Growth (Episode 4) At some point, real growth requires us to stop holding on to what once worked. In this episode of The Deconstruction of Growth, I talk about one of the hardest but most necessary shifts in our journey: learning when to let go. Not every habit, structure, or pace that brought us here is meant to take us forward. Many people are stuck not because they lack discipline or vision, but because they are still loyal to versions of growth that no longer fit who they are becoming. This episode is about recognising when persistence becomes resistance. In this episode, I explore what it means to release familiar patterns, expectations, and timelines so that growth can mature rather than stagnate. In this episode, you will discover: Why holding on too tightly can quietly hinder growth The difference between perseverance and unhealthy attachment How to recognise when a season has ended Why rest and release are part of real progress How to trust God when growth looks like letting go 📖 Scriptures referenced: Isaiah 43:18–19 Ecclesiastes 3:1 Hebrews 12:1 John 15:2 If you have been forcing continuity where God is inviting change, this conversation will help you loosen your grip and move forward with peace. 👉 Like, Comment, and Subscribe to stay connected to the series.

The Nevertheless Show | The Deconstruction of Growth (Episode 3) At some point, growth stops being about progress and starts shaping identity. In this episode, I address one of the most subtle and dangerous shifts that happens when growth is left unchecked: we begin to confuse who we are with what we produce. Many people are not tired because they are doing too much. They are tired because their sense of worth has been quietly tied to performance, outcomes, and visibility. This episode is an invitation to separate identity from achievement and reclaim growth that is rooted in truth, not validation. In this episode, I explore what happens when growth becomes the source of our identity rather than the fruit of it. In this episode, you will discover: How performance driven growth slowly reshapes identity Why tying worth to output leads to anxiety and exhaustion The difference between growth as expression and growth as compensation How to reclaim identity apart from achievement Why clarity begins when identity is restored 📖 Scriptures referenced: Galatians 1:10 Luke 10:41–42 Colossians 2:6–7 Psalm 127:1 If you have ever felt anxious about slowing down, afraid of losing relevance, or unsure who you are without your results, this conversation will bring clarity and relief.

In the first episode, we began questioning what we call growth. In this episode, I go deeper into why many people feel stuck even while they are "doing well." This conversation is about the hidden cost of growth that is driven by pressure, comparison, and performance rather than alignment and truth. Many of us are building lives that look successful but feel exhausting because the foundation was never examined. In this episode, I unpack what happens when growth is motivated by fear, approval, or survival, and how that quietly shapes our decisions, identity, and pace. In this episode, you will discover: Why growth rooted in pressure eventually leads to burnout How performance driven progress disconnects us from self awareness The signs that your growth may be externally driven rather than internally aligned Why slowing down is often the most honest form of progress How to begin rebuilding growth from clarity instead of urgency 📖 Scriptures referenced: Matthew 11:28–30 Romans 8:6 Proverbs 19:2 Ecclesiastes 4:6 If you have been moving fast but feeling tired, achieving goals yet feeling empty, this episode will help you understand why and show you a healthier path forward. 👉 Like, Comment, and Subscribe to stay connected to the full series.

The Nevertheless Show | The Deconstruction of Growth (Episode 1) What if some of the things we call growth are actually slowing us down? In this episode of The Nevertheless Show, I begin a necessary and honest conversation about The Deconstruction of Growth. Not growth as noise, achievement, or constant movement, but growth as alignment, depth, and truth. Many of us have learned patterns, beliefs, and definitions of growth that look impressive but quietly disconnect us from who we are becoming. This episode invites you to pause, question, and re-examine what you have been building and why. In this episode, you will discover: Why not everything labelled growth is healthy or sustainable How inherited beliefs and expectations shape false progress The difference between movement and maturity Why unlearning is often the doorway to real growth How clarity begins when we dismantle what no longer serves us 📖 Scriptures referenced: Proverbs 4:18 Hosea 4:6 Romans 12:2 Ecclesiastes 7:10 If you have ever felt busy but not fulfilled, productive but not grounded, or successful yet unsettled, this conversation will help you begin again from a place of truth. 👉 Like, Comment, and Subscribe to stay connected to the full series.
