You were made for purpose. You were designed for greatness. But not everyone fulfills their destiny—and it’s not because God fails. It’s because we do. In this no-holds-barred episode of The Impossible Life, Nick and Garrett unpack 3 ways men kill their destiny—often without even realizing it. Inspired by biblical examples, elite military discipline, and real-life failures, this episode is your guide to avoiding the spiritual traps that sabotage your future. 🔥 The 3 Destiny Killers: 1. Disobedience
  • Obedience is not optional—it's the path to purpose.
  • Small compromises today become big failures tomorrow.
  • Garrett shares a SEAL training story that reveals why understanding the intent behind instruction matters just as much as following the words.
2. Comfort & Selfishness
  • The lie of “you deserve this” can take you off course fast.
  • Comfort shows up as logic: “When’s it going to be about me?”
  • The moment you ask that question is the moment destiny begins to die.
3. Fear
  • Destiny doesn’t happen by accident—it’s built through ownership.
  • Fear of what others think of you will cause you to miss God's purpose for your life.
  • Most people don't miss their calling from a lack of talent. They miss it from a lack of submission.
    Highlights & Insights:
    • Why obedience always precedes revelation
    • The difference between living with purpose vs chasing preference
    • Why the “Blue Falcon” mindset kills not just you—but everyone around you
    • How military obedience training mirrors spiritual growth
    • Why Jesus’ final instruction—“teach them to obey everything”—matters more than eve
    • 📖 Scriptures Referenced:
      • Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you…”
      • Psalm 138:8 – “The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me…”
      • Genesis 12 & Hebrews 11 – Abraham’s obedience
      • Matthew 28:20 – “Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you”
      • Parable of the Talents – Obedience vs fear
