272. How to Build Something Great - From Men's Ministry to Businesses
Most people want to build something great, but very few understand how great things are actually built. In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick break down the principles behind building organizations, businesses, ministries, and movements that last using real examples from Mighty Men, business leadership, and Scripture. 

You’ll learn why purpose must come before strategy, and why the most powerful organizations are not built around protecting a “castle,” but around slaying a dragon—solving a real problem that benefits others beyond yourself. Garrett explains how purpose must be clearly defined, nearly unattainable, non-conditional, and bigger than the builder if it’s going to attract the right people and sustain momentum over time. 

The conversation then moves into prototype, teams, systems, and scale. They pull from Biblical templates to show why you must start small, get the fundamentals right, and focus on real change instead of hype or numbers. From discipleship to business, this episode lays out a practical, repeatable framework for anyone who wants to build something meaningful, resilient, and God-honoring. If you’re serious about building something that outlives you, this episode gives you the blueprint.

271. The Winning Formula: How to Win at Life God’s Way
Winning in life isn’t about luck, hype, or raw talent. It’s about understanding and applying the right formula. In this episode, Garrett and Nick break down what they call The Winning Formula: a principled, repeatable framework that explains why some people consistently produce results while others stay stuck no matter how hard they try. 

You’ll learn why winning always starts with right aim, clarity of purpose rooted in God’s design. It's then followed by right execution, the discipline of doing the right things consistently at a high level. Drawing from Scripture, military experience, business leadership, and real-life examples, this episode shows why consistency builds trust, why preparation always precedes opportunity, and why most people quit not because they can’t win, but because they don’t believe they’re meant to. 

Finally, Garrett and Nick unpack the often-overlooked multiplier in the formula: alignment. Alignment doesn’t add power, it removes friction. Whether in marriage, business, faith, or leadership, misalignment silently drains momentum and sabotages outcomes. If you want to stop guessing, stop drifting, and start winning in a way that honors God and fulfills your purpose, this episode gives you the framework to do exactly that.

270. Belief Warfare: Winning the Battle in Your Mind
Your beliefs are shaping your life far more than your circumstances ever will. In this episode, Garrett and Nick break down how your internal belief system is formed, why most people never challenge it, and how hidden belief patterns quietly limit your potential as a man of God. If you’ve ever wondered why you keep running into the same walls in relationships, work, or personal growth, this conversation uncovers the roots beneath the surface.

You’ll learn the simple but powerful formula behind belief formation, how unregulated emotions hijack your thinking, and why acting on truth (not feelings) is the only path to lasting change. Garrett unpacks three of the most common destructive beliefs men carry (“I’m powerless,” “I must perform to be loved,” and “Life should be fair”) and shows you how to replace them with strong, biblical foundations that actually produce transformation. 

This episode is a blueprint for renewing your mind: regulating emotions, identifying false narratives, and intentionally walking out the beliefs God calls you to hold. If you want to become the man you were designed to be, it starts by rewriting the beliefs that shape everything you do. Tune in and begin the process today.

269. Conflict Done Right: How to Protect Your Mission, Marriage, and Relationships
Conflict is unavoidable but doing it well is a skill that separates healthy relationships from dysfunctional ones, strong leaders from weak ones, and mission-driven men from passive drifters. 

In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick break down how to handle conflict like a leader, not a reactor. They explore why conflict isn’t a sign something is wrong, it’s a sign something matters.

You’ll learn how to pick your battles, protect your mission, separate personal offense from real problems, and create clarity instead of chaos.

This episode is packed with practical tools, biblical insight, leadership principles, and real-world examples from marriage, family, business, and spiritual life.

268. Built to Win: How to Uncover the Winning Philosophy God Hardwired Into You
In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick unpack one of the most important concepts for living a focused, purpose-driven life: your winning philosophy—the unique combination of beliefs, strengths, endurance, and principles that determine where you succeed and where you struggle.

Nick shares how he recently discovered his own winning philosophy — a pattern that had been showing up in his life long before he ever had language for it. Nick breaks down his own, revealing how understanding his natural wiring transformed the way he leads and helps others rise.

This episode will help you stop wasting time on pursuits you can’t win at… and stop quitting the ones God designed you to win.

This episode goes in depth into the 4 elements of a winning philosophy. They are:


  • Beliefs — what you really believe, proven by your actions
  • Giftings — your natural inclinations, strengths, and advantages
  • Endurance — how long you can stay in the fight
  • Principles — the patterns and truths you observe through experience

267. The Passivity Trap: 7 Lies Keeping Men Weak
In this powerful shortcast of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick expose one of the most dangerous forces shaping modern men: passivity. Drawing from Scripture, real leadership experience, and hard-earned battlefield lessons, they dismantle the seven lies that keep men stuck, ineffective, and spiritually asleep.

Modern culture celebrates “go with the flow” attitudes, conflict avoidance, and emotional softness — but none of that looks like Jesus. Garrett reminds us that Christ was never passive. He confronted lies, protected truth, and led with courage. Real masculinity creates strength, protection, and flourishing — not weakness or drift. 

Inside this episode, you’ll discover: The Top 7 Passive Lies Men Believe Each lie is unpacked with practical examples and Biblical clarity:
  • “I’m just being patient.” Learn the difference between godly patience and spiritual laziness.
  • “I don’t want to make things worse.” How fear of conflict quietly destroys families, marriages, and leadership.
  • “I’m just laid back.” Why “laid back” can actually be a denial of responsibility.
  • “It’s not a big deal.” The massive danger of minimizing problems.
  • “I don’t feel motivated.” How children follow feelings — men follow truth.
  • “I don’t want to be controlling.” Why real leadership is invitation, not domination.
  • “If God wants it to change, He’ll change it.” One of the most damaging forms of spiritual passivity.

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.

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

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

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
  • What it means to be both tender to God and tough against sin
  • Practical ways to guard your heart daily — through discernment, discipline, and devotion
  • How guarding your heart strengthens every other area of leadership and purpose

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.

256. Leadership Mastery: 7 Traits Jesus Modeled For Us to Follow
Leadership isn’t about titles, followers, or charisma. It’s about mastery of self and submission to God. In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface dive deep into what true Leadership Mastery looks like through the life and example of Jesus Christ.

Using both scripture and real-world leadership principles, they break down the 7 traits that define a godly leader that every man is called to grow in if he’s going to fulfill the dominion and authority God gave him.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:
  • Why 57% of employees leave because of poor leadership — and how to lead differently
  • Where true authority comes from and why all leadership begins with God’s design for dominion
  • The 7 traits of leadership mastery found in the life of Jesus:
    1. Discipline – Private consistency fuels public power (Mark 1:35)
    2. Servanthood – Leads by lifting others (Matthew 20:28)
    3. Courage – Obedience over fear (Luke 22:42)
    4. Responsibility – Ownership born from love and duty (John 10:11)

The Impossible Life
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.

Garrett shares from his Navy SEAL background and personal faith journey how compromise starts small — in your words, habits, and relationships — and ends up shaping your entire destiny. 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

The Impossible Life
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.

The Impossible Life
253. Conviction vs. Hype & The Power Of Enthusiasm
In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick unpack the difference between hype and conviction — and why most people confuse the two.

They discuss Warren Buffet’s insight about intelligence, energy, and integrity, breaking down why energy without integrity is dangerous and how real enthusiasm comes from a foundation of truth and belief.

Garrett shares how his deepest convictions come from God’s Word and why faith-based enthusiasm has endurance — while hype always fades under pressure.

If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your passion alive without burning out or chasing trends, this episode gives you the blueprint for energy that lasts and purpose that stands firm through adversity.
