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.
