286. The Favor of God - What It Is, What It Isn't & How To Get It

Everybody wants God’s favor. But most people misunderstand what it actually looks like.

In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface break down one of the most misunderstood ideas in Christianity — favor — and why it’s not about getting everything you want, winning every time, or avoiding difficulty.

Using stories from Scripture — Noah, Joseph, David, and others — they unpack a truth that flips common thinking upside down: God’s favor doesn’t mean life is easy. Sometimes favor looks like being a slave… building a boat while everyone mocks you… or walking through a season you didn’t ask for.

This episode explores:

• The difference between luck and favor
• Why you can’t manipulate God — but you can align with Him
• How favor comes from wanting what God wants
• What it means to have a heart oriented toward God
• The difference between favor with God and favor with people
• Why character, faithfulness, and integrity create influence over time
• How true favor grows when you let go of control and step into God’s flow

Garrett and Nick explain that favor is not God bending to your plan — it’s God stooping down to help you fulfill His plan for your life.

When your heart aligns with God’s purpose, the board starts to tilt. Doors open. Opportunities appear. Not because life becomes easier — but because you’re finally moving in the direction you were designed for.

Favor isn’t about getting your way.

It’s about getting on God’s way — and discovering that it’s better.
