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.
