284. Rules for War: How to Win the Battle You're In (Whether You Realize It Or Not)

Most men think they’re living in peace. They’re not.

In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface break down the Rules for War—not physical warfare, but the spiritual, mental, and cultural battles happening every day in your words, your thoughts, and your actions.

If you don’t see life through the lens of conflict, you’ll misinterpret what’s happening around you—and inside you.

Garrett shares battlefield principles learned in the SEAL teams and translates them into everyday application for leadership, marriage, business, and faith. This episode lays out tactical rules that protect your family, guard your identity, and sharpen your discipline.

Language Rules

• No careless words
• Speak life or death intentionally
• Stop exaggerating and inflating
• Replace complaints with commands
• Build personal mantras that stabilize you under pressure

Thought & Belief Rules

• Take your thoughts captive
• Renew your mind intentionally
• Audit what you’re feeding your brain
• Treat threats as challenges
• Strengthen specific, active belief

Action Rules

• Act on truth
• Obedience isn’t a mood
• Remember who you work for
• Work the plan—even when it changes
• Finish strong, no matter the score

This episode is a wake-up call. You may not hear bullets—but you are in a war for your focus, your identity, your marriage, your leadership, and your legacy.

And in war, careless words cost lives. Undisciplined thoughts weaken positions. Passive action loses ground.

If you want to lead well, protect what matters, and finish strong—you need rules. Save this episode. You’ll want it when the pressure hits.
