14 JUL 2025 · In this mind-opening episode of The Impossible Life, Nick and Garrett sit down with Bryan Osborne, speaker and apologist with Answers in Genesis, to take aim at one of the most contested foundations in the Bible: Genesis 1–11.
What you believe about the beginning of the world directly impacts how you understand truth, identity, morality, and the Gospel itself. Bryan walks through scientific, biblical, and philosophical evidence to challenge the assumptions of evolution and reaffirm the authority of God's Word—from the very first verse.
If you’ve ever wondered how to defend your faith in today’s culture—or if you're ready to move beyond vague belief to convictional clarity—this is the episode to sharpen your edge.
🔥 What You'll Learn:
- Why creation is the foundation of the Gospel—and what’s at stake if it’s lost
- How evolution fails the test of logic, science, and internal consistency
- The truth about radiometric dating, fossils, and why the “missing links” are still missing
- How the scientific method exposes the flaws of Big Bang theory
- Why most people confuse operational science with historical science—and why it matters
- How Genesis 1–11 defines key doctrines like gender, life, marriage, and sin
📖 Key Takeaways:
- Worldview matters: Everyone interprets evidence through a lens. The question is—whose lens?
- All science is not the same: Observing a frog isn’t the same as explaining where frogs came from
- There is no neutrality: You’re either standing on God’s Word or man’s opinion
- Faith is not blind: Biblical faith aligns with reason, reality, and revelation

10 JUL 2025 · Modern culture says equality means splitting everything 50/50.
But what if that’s not just inefficient—it’s actually unwise?
In this unapologetic episode of The Impossible Life, Nick and Garrett tackle one of their most controversial convictions yet:
A clearly defined division of labor in the home isn't outdated—it's divine.
Rooted in experience, principle, and biblical design, this conversation will challenge how you think about roles, parenting, identity, and the way you build your family life. If you're tired of shallow slogans and want to raise strong kids with a Kingdom vision—this one is for you.
🔥 In This Episode:
- Why dividing labor reduces resentment and eliminates scorekeeping in marriage
- How the “default parent” concept can actually provide security—not inequality
- The difference between roles that oppress and roles that express love and honor
- Why excellence and calling, not preference or pressure, should determine responsibility
- The spiritual and emotional cost of outsourcing your children’s formation
- The lie that “more money” equals a better life—and what real wealth looks like
📖 Key Themes:
- Honor – How embracing roles actually honors God and each other
- Excellence – Why your wife is better at some things—and that’s not just OK, it’s strategic
- Vision – The prerequisite to executing any structure that works long-term
- Sacrifice – How both men and women are called to give up comfort for what matters most

In this powerful episode of The Impossible Life, Nick and Garrett revisit one of the most foundational topics to living a life of purpose, excellence, and spiritual clarity: PRINCIPLES.
They break down six core principles that every man is already navigating—often unknowingly—and show you how to align with them so you can build a life that actually works.
🔥 In This Episode:
- What principles really are—and why most people confuse them with tactics
- The difference between knowledge and wisdom
- Why you need to stop asking “What should I do?” and start asking “What force is at work here?”
- Why principles govern patterns, not preferences
- How to diagnose what’s not working in your life by tracing it back to a misaligned principle
🧠 The 6 Universal Principles Covered:
- Honor – What you value most will determine what flows into your life
- Trust – All relationships and leadership rise and fall on it
- Excellence – It always pays, but often with delayed rewards
- Focus – Determines direction and fruitfulness
- Discipline – The bridge between desire and achievement
- Leadership – Influence built through character and consistency

19 JUN 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
