279. Why You Feel Like Quitting And How To Stop It

Why do so many men quit—not suddenly, but quietly?

In this episode, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface break down why quitting usually isn’t about willpower. It’s about focus. When focus drifts, doubt multiplies. And once doubt takes over, quitting starts to feel logical—even justified.

Using the story of David at Ziklag (1 Samuel 30), Garrett and Nick unpack what happens when everything falls apart at once. David returns home to find his city burned, his family taken, and his own men talking about killing him. In one of the most intense moments of Scripture, David doesn’t spiral—he strengthens himself in the Lord, asks God what to do next, and moves forward with clarity and conviction.

The episode breaks down:

• The force multipliers of doubt (unknowns, obstacles, past failures, emotions)
• Why focus is a muscle you must consciously direct
• How belief multiplies when you shift focus back to who God is
• Why small, daily focus resets are more powerful than waiting for motivation
• How zooming out—and then taking the next right step—changes everything

This isn’t about hype or self-help. It’s about learning how to catch your focus before it runs wild, anchor it in God’s character, and move forward—even when everything feels stacked against you.

If you’ve been discouraged, distracted, or tempted to quit, this episode will help you reset your focus and reclaim momentum—starting today.
