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.

    • 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

    257. The Bible Said It First: How Science Confirms God’s Truth
    Nov 7 2025
    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.

      3. Courage – Obedience over fear (Luke 22:42)
      4. Responsibility – Ownership born from love and duty (John 10:11)
      5. Strategy – Wisdom under pressure (Luke 20:22–26)

    255. Death by a Thousand Compromises
    Oct 30 2025
    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

    254. Avoiding Sin Is Not the Same as Pursuing Purpose
    Oct 27 2025
    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.
