The Impossible Life 265. Dismantling Our Favorite Lies - Authentic Self
Dec 5, 2025

Identity is the glass ceiling of your life. You will never outperform what you believe about who you are. In this powerful episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface expose one of the most dangerous lies in modern culture: “Just be authentic.”
Culture has reframed feelings as identity and told men that their current state is a virtue.
Garrett shares his own story of leaving the military and rediscovering parts of himself he had buried for the mission — and why the popular “just accept yourself” message is incomplete and often harmful. There’s a part of your identity you must embrace, and a part you must go to war against.
This episode gives men a biblical foundation for identity, the tools to build confidence without pride, and a roadmap for transformation rooted in Scripture and authority — not emotion.

- “I’m just being honest.”
- “That’s just who I am.”
- “I need validation.”
What sounds empowering actually destroys grit, responsibility, and maturity.
