The Impossible Life

"Until you view your life in the context of war, you will misinterpret 90% of what happens in life." - John Eldredge We are all in a battle. The worst case scenario is that you are unprepared because you had no idea the battle was going on at all. With so many silent killers around, it's not surprising that many of us are unaware. The silent killers are comfort, distraction, negativity, and selfis...

Have you ever wished you didn't want something that you do? If you've ever wanted to change the way you feel about something, change your desires, or wondered why you are drawn to the things you are, this episode is for you. In this episode we look at the heart. Not the physical heart but the metaphorical heart that is the desire center for humans. We look at where desires come from, the differenc...

Authority is a term we often take for granted and rarely think through. As such, we often breeze past how important it is to have an understanding of authority. There are only 2 times in scripture that Jesus was amazed and both times were to do with authority. The understanding of it is vital to become all God made you to be. In this episode, we will go over where authority comes from, the differe...

We've long said on the Impossible Life that we wanted to have a sleep expert on and...TODAY'S THE DAY! We cover all things in a wide ranging conversation with sleep expert Dr Michael Grandner.

We live in a microwave society today where optimization, growth hacking, and short cuts are a way of life. But true growth requires a process. And process takes time. Which is why so many people quit and never realize what's actually possible in their lives. If you want to truly be great in any area of your life, you need to know that you will be in process. For how long? For your entire life. But...

If you were going to leave your loved ones forever, what would you want your final words to be? This is the scenario we get in Matthew 28 when Jesus is ascending into heaven and giving final instructions to his disciples. He tells them to go into all the world and make disciples... But what is a disciple? That is not a word we use in today's language and we are worlds away from the time that Jesus...

Priorities are something we all have but very few people are clear enough that they live their life in line with their priorities. We typically come across priorities in terms of managing workloads and tasks, but a life of purpose is realized by having clear priorities and living according to them. Priorities are the path to purpose. In this episode, we show you how to establish, measure, and live...

What is truth? A simple question that can leave you searching your entire life. It's a question that is constantly being debated in various forms and fashions and yet the truth is what will set you free according to Jesus. So the question we should be asking is, "what is keeping us from the truth?" In this episode, we look at what truth is, what it will do for you, why we lie, and the various bloc...

In the information age, we never suffer from a lack of answers when we have a question. Instead, it's becoming increasingly more difficult to know what information is correct. The same is true in life. So often we have many people offering advice or telling us what we should do. How do we know who to listen to? In this episode, we will show you how to learn from anyone, how to identify good advice...

We all want our kids to do better than we did. We want them to know and love God, know who they are, and live purposeful lives in line with our family values. In a world where identity is under attack and there are new parenting “philosophies” popping up all the time, confusion is at an all time high. That’s why Pastor Keith Craft wrote Dear Parent 32 years ago. At that time, he had strong ideas o...

According to a March 2024 Gallup poll, only 21% of Americans attend their religious services weekly. That means 1 in 5 attend services even though 68% of Americans identify themselves as Christian. Contrast that with the Christianity we read in the New Testament when people would sacrifice their lives for what they believe. There have been some big changes to society over the last 2000 years. In t...

Endurance is one of the ultimate tests. One of the most common places we see it is in running and that is where human beings are uniquely designed better than any other land dwelling animal.

Training is a word that we hear often but experience rarely. What we actually experience more is learning. So what's the difference? Learning is just the acquisition of knowledge where as training is learning something so well that we can perform it right thousands of times and under pressure. "An amateur practices until they get it right. A professional practices until they cannot get it wrong." ...

Comfort is the silent killer. In a society where survival is taken for granted, we all have multiple options for comfort available to us at all times during the day. More than just those provided by companies and services, we always have the option to just not do what we said we'd do. And while many people would consider themselves disciplined or desire discipline, there is a level to it that very...

We were recently inspired by a trip to Chicago where we did a man on the streets interview asking people what makes a good man. We got some wide ranging answers, but one thing that stood out to us was that people don't have differing definitions for standards. In this episode, we break down the attributes of a standard and also give you 7 standards of a Godly man. These standards all come with an...

So much of our own limitations are down to a lack of vision. We accept things as they are and don't question anything beyond convenience. We settle for what challenges us rather than asking what we are actually capable of, paying our price, and pushing beyond our perceived limits. This is a default life and not what the Impossible Life is all about. A life on default is like a feather floating aro...

If you've ever felt unfulfilled or stuck where you're at, this episode is for you. In this episode we giv...

Sowing and reaping is a principle many people are familiar with but not something that we know the way humanity did in the past when farming was a main source of survival.

In today's episode we highlight 3 areas we are all sowing all the time and show y...
