Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, Scripture, and lived experience, the guys explore:
  • Where your beliefs actually come from
  • How emotion cements beliefs into your identity
  • Why most people never question their limiting beliefs
  • How to identify beliefs that are silently sabotaging your growth
  • The only two ways beliefs ever change: experience and revelation

The Impossible Life
265. Dismantling Our Favorite Lies - Authentic Self
Identity is the glass ceiling of your life. You will never outperform what you believe about who you are. In this powerful episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface expose one of the most dangerous lies in modern culture: “Just be authentic.”

Culture has reframed feelings as identity and told men that their current state is a virtue.
  • “I’m just being honest.”
  • “That’s just who I am.”
  • “I need validation.”
    What sounds empowering actually destroys grit, responsibility, and maturity.
Garrett and Nick unpack why authenticity without authority leads to narcissism, selfishness, and emotional fragility. True identity doesn’t come from feelings — it comes from authority. And there is no higher authority than God and His Word.

Garrett shares his own story of leaving the military and rediscovering parts of himself he had buried for the mission — and why the popular “just accept yourself” message is incomplete and often harmful. There’s a part of your identity you must embrace, and a part you must go to war against.

This episode gives men a biblical foundation for identity, the tools to build confidence without pride, and a roadmap for transformation rooted in Scripture and authority — not emotion.

The Impossible Life
264. How to Live the Most Purposeful Year of Your Life
Quitters Day or Purpose Day? Designing a Year You Don’t Walk Away From

If you want this to be the most purposeful year of your life, you can’t drift into it — you have to design it.

In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick break down how to actually build a year rooted in purpose, clarity, and God-given direction.

Using the Purpose Playbook framework, they explain why so many people lose sight of purpose, fall into distractions, and quit on their goals by the second Friday of January which is known as “Quitters Day.” More importantly, they show you how to avoid it and turn your year into a mission, not a mess of side quests.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:
  1. Why Most People Never Live Purposefully
  • Side quests consume their time
  • Their why isn’t strong enough
  • They set goals based on emotion, not calling
  • They rely on motivation instead of mission
2. What Purpose Really Is Your purpose is where:
  • What’s in your heart meets
  • What God has put in your hand
Purpose isn’t something you discover once, it’s something you align your life to daily.

3. Vision: The World You Wish to Create. They explain how vision comes from seeing the mind of God in the presence of God.
You need vision for all 8 domains of life:
  • Spiritual
  • Marriage
  • Family
  • Friendships
  • Health
  • Finances
  • Business
  • Rest
4. Priorities: What You’re Least Willing to Fail At. Nick walks through how to think about your time, energy, and resources based on seasons of life — and how priorities anchor you in discipline instead of distraction.

5. Rules for Growth Real growth isn’t magical or instant. It’s measurable.
  • How to track and evaluate your progress
  • Why consistency beats intensity
  • Why clarity removes overwhelm
6. Setting Goals the Right Way
  • Stop setting goals based only on outcomes
  • Start setting process-based goals
  • Let your goals flow from:
    • Vision
    • Purpose
    • Priorities
    • Core Values
Your core values serve as the safety check — if a goal violates a value, it’s not from God.

7. Time Management for Purpose Nick breaks down how to structure your:
  • Daily actions
  • Weekly rhythms
  • Monthly alignments
…so that the main thing stays the main thing. This episode is packed and it will have you thinking about your next 12 months entirely different.

263. How to Think Strategically: The Skill Every Great Leader Masters
In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface break down one of the most valuable — and rare — abilities in leadership: strategic thinking.

Most people react. Few people think. Strategic thinking is the discipline of stepping back, seeing the whole picture, and identifying what really matters so you can make decisions that have lasting impact, not just short-term comfort.

Garrett shares how this mindset has been one of his greatest assets and how learning to zoom in and out of problems changes your performance in every area of life. Nick dives into the practical tools for developing this skill, from managing your time and asking better questions to practicing reverse stress testing — simplifying until it’s not true.

If you want to stop living reactively and start leading intentionally, this episode will teach you how to think at a higher level. 

In This Episode You’ll Learn:
  • What strategic thinking really means and why it’s essential for leadership
  • The 3 questions strategic thinkers always ask:
    1. Where are we? – Developing awareness and reality-based evaluation
    2. Where are we going? – Defining purpose and direction
    3. What matters most right now? – Prioritizing for maximum impact
  • How to zoom in and out to gain clarity under pressure
  • The art of simplifying until it’s not true — breaking complexity down without losing truth
  • The difference between planning and plans — how to adapt when things change
  • Why imagination and evaluation are the hidden engines of great leadership

The Impossible Life
262. The Most Heroic Life You Can Live: How To Find True Fulfillment
In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface dismantle one of the most powerful lies in modern culture — that you are the main character of your own story.

Drawing from Scripture, history, and real-world examples, they explore how society’s obsession with self — from slogans like “Have it your way” and “Because you’re worth it” — has shaped a generation that’s prideful, impatient, and spiritually empty.

Garrett and Nick explain that true fulfillment doesn’t come from self-expression but from submission. The difference between salvation and wisdom is learning to play your part in the story God is already writing.

Through biblical truth and practical wisdom, they show how humility, endurance, and responsibility unlock the kind of heroic, meaningful life every man was created for. 💡 In This Episode You’ll Learn:
  • Why the world’s version of fulfillment always ends in emptiness
  • The difference between salvation and maturity — and why most men stop at salvation
  • How pride blinds you to purpose, and why rebellion always leads to ruin
  • The power of submission — what it means to let God be the author of your story
  • The three daily disciplines of a mature believer:
    1. Humility – Recognize your spiritual poverty (Philippians 2:6–8)
    2. Responsibility – Build character and consistency (2 Peter 1:5–8)
    3. Endurance – Persevere in purpose (Hebrews 12:1–2)
  • Why true fulfillment only comes when you stop chasing control and start following calling

261. The Timeframe Test: How to Stretch Your Perspective and Stop Living Month-to-Month
In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface revisit one of their most practical and transformative principles — Timeframe Orientation.

Your timeframe determines your direction. Most people live in short-term cycles — 30-day paychecks, 12-month goals, and reactionary habits — but true success and spiritual maturity come when you learn to see further down the road.

Garrett and Nick unpack how short-term thinking sabotages long-term growth in every area of life: parenting, marriage, health, business, and faith. Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and leadership lessons, they show how extending your perspective aligns you with God’s eternal timeline and helps you live with greater clarity, discipline, and purpose. 💡 In This Episode You’ll Learn:
  • What Timeframe Orientation is and why it determines your destiny
  • How Luke 9:62 reveals the danger of looking backward instead of forward
  • The difference between living by your mortgage cycle and your mission cycle
  • How to shift your mindset from survival to stewardship
  • Five areas where your timeframe determines your fruit:
    1. Parenting – Raising character, not convenience
    2. Marriage – Building connection, not comfort
    3. Faith – Focusing on identity in Christ, not performance
    4. Business – Sowing value, not chasing income
    5. Health – Thinking longevity, not quick fixes

In this Impossible Life Shortcast, Garrett Unclebach dives into the “Figure It Out Mindset” — the ability to face uncertainty, obstacles, and confusion with confidence, faith, and resourcefulness.

Whether it’s a business challenge, a relationship issue, or a moment where life feels overwhelming, this short episode will challenge you to stop waiting for perfect clarity and start trusting God while taking action.

258. The Gatekeeper Of Your Life: Why Guarding Your Heart Is The Most Important Battle
In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface dig into one of the most crucial areas for any believer: “Guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (Proverbs 4:23)

They explore what it really means to protect your inner world in a culture obsessed with image, emotion, and distraction. From leadership to marriage to faith, everything rises and falls on the condition of your heart — and most men lose the battle because they don’t even realize they’re in one.

Garrett shares insights from his time as a Navy SEAL about how security detail for protecting a high value person relates to us guarding our heart. Nick breaks down how to recognize emotional compromise before it becomes spiritual collapse. Together, they unpack practical ways to build boundaries, protect your peace, and keep your heart aligned with God’s truth.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:
  • Why the heart is the center of your spiritual and emotional life
  • How to identify the subtle ways the enemy infiltrates your heart
  • The danger of letting unchecked emotions drive your decisions

257. The Bible Said It First: How Science Confirms God’s Truth
In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface explore one of the most fascinating intersections of faith and reason — the way science continually confirms truths that God already revealed in His Word.

Science is powerful, but it’s also limited — it’s the discovery of what God has already designed. Garrett and Nick unpack how properly done science—verifiable, demonstrable, and repeatable—often proves what Scripture has said all along about marriage, emotional health, gratitude, purpose, and community.

255. Death by a Thousand Compromises
In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface unpack one of the greatest threats to every Christian man — compromise. Not the big, obvious kind that’s easy to recognize, but the subtle daily decisions that slowly dull your conviction and weaken your purpose.

Together, he and Nick expose the three most common compromises men make and explain how to identify and kill them before they kill your calling.

Garrett and Nick also cover the 5 most common compromises which are:

  1. Your word 
  2. Your character
  3. Your health 
  4. Personal growth
  5. Belief

254. Avoiding Sin Is Not the Same as Pursuing Purpose
Most men think winning in life means avoiding failure — not falling into sin, not losing money, not messing up their marriage. But what if “avoiding bad” is the very thing keeping you from God’s best?

In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface unpack the difference between living to avoid sin and living to pursue purpose. Drawing from Garrett’s Navy SEAL experience and biblical truths, they reveal why mission focus — not fear — is the foundation of greatness.

You’ll learn:
  • Why compromise is one of the deadliest traps for Christian men
  • The lesson of the Commander’s Intent and how it applies to your life’s purpose
  • How to identify when you’re playing life on defense instead of offense
  • Why financial freedom, comfort, and safety are not the goal — and what to chase instead
  • The mindset of obedience and greatness that aligns with God’s design
This episode will challenge how you think about discipline, faith, and success — and help you shift from trying not to fail to living fully for the mission God gave you.

252. The 5 Excuses That Will Make You Average
In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface pull back the curtain on what it truly means to live ALL IN — not the motivational cliché, but the biblical, practical, and battle-tested reality. They show you the 5 most common and popular excuses that people buy into that keep them from going all in.

Most people think “all in” means going 1000 percent every day. Garrett and Nick reveal why that mindset burns out more men than it builds. They break down the two true ingredients of being all in:
  • Level of Effort (time and energy)
  • Level of Commitment (belief and discipline)
Through stories from the Navy SEAL teams, leadership lessons from business, and biblical parallels to marriage and faith, they explain how men can hold fast to the mission even when motivation fades.

You’ll learn:
  • Why effort alone will never make you successful
  • The “Big Five” reasons commitment breaks down
  • How to lead yourself and others when your leader or plan isn’t perfect
  • The power of trust, belief, and consistency in every area of life
  • What it really looks like to be a man who finishes what he starts
This episode is a gut-check for every Christian man who’s tired of half-hearted living and ready to commit to the process, not just the feeling.

251. How to Simplify Vision And Live It Out
In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface strip away the fluff and break down what vision really means—and how to make it simple enough to actually live out.

Forget waiting for a divine lightning bolt or a dream of winged beasts like Daniel. Real vision starts with a choice: Who do you want to be right now?

  • Why most men overcomplicate vision and stay stuck waiting for clarity
  • How to take ownership of your attitude, behavior, and identity—even in pain
  • The difference between being “inspired” and being transformed
  • The mindset shift that separates strong men from average ones
  • Why “there are no superpowers” is actually one of the most freeing truths you’ll ever learn
If you’ve ever felt like your vision for life was foggy, this episode will help you cut through the noise and step into clarity.

The Impossible Life
249. The Path of Transformation: How to Become Who God Designed You to Be
Transformation doesn’t happen overnight—and it’s not about self-help or hype. It’s about submission, work, and revelation.

In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick and Garrett break down Romans 12:1–2 and reveal the three-part path of transformation every believer must walk:
  1. Submission – Laying down your way of thinking and surrendering control.
  2. Work – Allowing God to renew your mind daily through obedience and discipline.
  3. Revelation – Learning to see God’s will clearly and distinguish what’s real from what’s counterfeit.
They talk about how transformation is not a one-time event but a continual process of dying to self and being renewed through faith, growth, and belief. You’ll learn:
  • Why most people quit before they ever change
  • How to strengthen belief when you face the unknown
  • How to test what’s real and fake in your life and purpose
  • Why failure is part of transformation—and how to keep your faith through it
If you’ve ever wondered how to move from where you are to where God is calling you, this episode will equip you to stay in the process and trust God’s timing.

The Impossible Life
248. From Weak-Willed to Warrior: The 3 Musts of Discipline
Most men know they need more discipline—but few understand what’s really stopping them. In this powerful episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick Surface and former Navy SEAL Garrett Unclebach break down the 3 musts of discipline and expose why so many men fail to stay consistent.

Drawing from Garrett’s SEAL training, biblical principles, and personal stories of struggle and victory, this episode reveals how discipline isn’t just about willpower—it’s about purpose, mindset, and spiritual strength. You’ll hear:
  • Why praying for discipline can backfire (and what God actually gives you instead)
  • How to make your “why” bigger than your pain so you don’t quit when it gets hard
  • The hidden lies that destroy consistency
  • The mindset shift that separates disciplined men from distracted ones
  • Real-life lessons from the SEAL Teams, competition, and Scripture
If you’ve ever felt stuck, undisciplined, or like you’re one decision away from quitting, this conversation will give you the clarity and fire to keep going.

The Impossible Life
247. How To Make The Most Out Of Every Opportunity
Most people miss opportunities because they don’t look like opportunities—they look like work.

In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick break down how to recognize, seize, and maximize the doors God opens in your life. From a story about a breakthrough moment to Nick’s journey from filming soccer videos on a DSLR to interviewing legends like Pelé and working with world-class athletes, this conversation will change the way you see what’s in front of you. You will realize there is possibility all around you.

The truth is simple: if you’re not becoming the kind of man who can carry opportunity, no opportunity will ever be enough. This episode gives you practical tools and a new mindset to stop waiting for the golden goose and start making the most of every chance God gives you. 

In This Episode You’ll Learn:
  • Why opportunities often look like problems, not prizes
  • The Thomas Edison principle: why work and opportunity are inseparable
  • How relationships, moments, and problems are the most overlooked opportunities
  • Why self-development is the key to maximizing opportunity
  • Practical steps: see the need, recognize the patterns, and do the work
