    219. You Become What You Worship: Redefining Worship, Identity, and Daily Obedience
    Jun 26 2025
    Worship isn’t just music—it’s what you serve, what you sacrifice for, and who (or what) shapes you. In this powerful episode of The Impossible Life, Nick is joined by returning guest Josh Craft to explore a hard-hitting biblical truth: You become like what you worship. (Psalm 115:8)

    From ancient idols to modern obsessions, the conversation uncovers how men today are constantly worshiping—often without realizing it. And the sobering reality is: whatever you give your time, attention, and trust to is forming your identity.

    In This Episode:
    • The law of first mention and what Genesis 22 teaches us about real worship
    • How Abraham’s obedience redefined worship as trust, surrender, and sacrifice
    • Why your work, choices, and attention are all acts of worship
    • The danger of modern idols: success, status, comfort, insecurity
    • The Hebrew and Greek words for worship—and how they reveal the heart of biblical manhood

  • 217. Don't Be Vulnerable With Your Wife - Mindset Level Up

    217. Don't Be Vulnerable With Your Wife - Mindset Level Up
    Jun 19 2025
    In this bold and counter-cultural episode of The Impossible Life, Nick and Garrett dive into a hot-button belief that challenges modern thinking about marriage, masculinity, and leadership:

    "Don’t be vulnerable with your wife—be transparent."

    It’s a concept that might offend, but it’s built on biblical truth, emotional discipline, and hard-won wisdom. Garrett breaks down why vulnerability—defined as making yourself susceptible to emotional wounding—is not your wife’s burden to carry. Instead, God has called men to strength, spiritual leadership, and emotional maturity that protects, not projects.

    🔥 In This Episode:
    • The crucial difference between vulnerability and transparency
    • Why your wife isn’t meant to carry your emotional pain—and who is
    • How emotional dumping can weaken your leadership and your marriage
    • Why modern therapy culture has confused roles in marriage
    • Biblical examples of godly men who were vulnerable with God, not with their wives
    • The epidemic of fatherlessness and emotional outsourcing
    • How to process pain without quitting your post as a man, husband, and father

  • 213. How to Get to the Root of Your Problems: Mastering Your Emotions and Mindset

    213. How to Get to the Root of Your Problems: Mastering Your Emotions and Mindset
    Jun 5 2025
    Ever feel overwhelmed and you don’t know why?

    Or find yourself reacting way too strongly to something small—like a casual comment, a minor setback, or an unexpected bill? You're not broken.

    You're just not getting to the root of the problem.
    And today on The Impossible Life Shortcast, Nick Surface walks you through a powerful, repeatable process to identify, disarm, and reframe the emotions that keep sabotaging your peace, focus, and purpose.

    🔎 In This Shortcast, You’ll Learn:
    • Why your heart is a follower, not a leader—and what Jeremiah 17:9 says about trusting your emotions
    • How to spot a disproportionate emotional response and what it reveals
    • Why most of your problems aren’t about what happened—they’re about what you believe about what happened
    • How to rewire your subconscious by asking better questions
    • The critical importance of meditation, self-awareness, and emotional honesty
    • The mindset shift that turns your setbacks into sentences, not chapters
    💥 Key Quote: “Just because it feels real doesn’t mean it’s true. Your heart can lie to you—but God never will.” 🧠 Step-by-Step Framework to Get to the Root:
    1. Awareness – Notice when an emotion feels too big for the moment
    2. Name It – Be specific: mad, scared, overwhelmed, rejected, etc.
    3. Ask Why – Get honest. Your subconscious is always giving you clues.
    4. Challenge the Belief – What would have to be true for this emotion to make sense?
    5. Zoom Out – Decide: Is this a sentence or a chapter in your story?
    ✅ Real-Life Examples:
    • When Nick blew it: Buying a car, receiving unsolicited advice, and letting emotion take over
    • When Nick nailed it: A home repair disaster, rising stress, and choosing truth over reaction
    🔑 Final Takeaway: Most men don’t need more strength. They need more strategy.
    The power to lead your emotions, reframe your thinking, and obey truth is already inside you—it just needs to be activated.

    So before you let stress write your next chapter, ask yourself:
    Is this really worth it—or is it just a sentence I need to edit and move on?

    📖 Scripture Reference:
    Jeremiah 17:9-10 – “The heart is deceitful above all things... I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind...”
