261. The Timeframe Test: How to Stretch Your Perspective and Stop Living Month-to-Month
Update: 2025-11-20
Description
In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface revisit one of their most practical and transformative principles — Timeframe Orientation.
Your timeframe determines your direction. Most people live in short-term cycles — 30-day paychecks, 12-month goals, and reactionary habits — but true success and spiritual maturity come when you learn to see further down the road.
Garrett and Nick unpack how short-term thinking sabotages long-term growth in every area of life: parenting, marriage, health, business, and faith. Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and leadership lessons, they show how extending your perspective aligns you with God’s eternal timeline and helps you live with greater clarity, discipline, and purpose. 💡 In This Episode You’ll Learn:
