In this powerful shortcast of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick expose one of the most dangerous forces shaping modern men: passivity. Drawing from Scripture, real leadership experience, and hard-earned battlefield lessons, they dismantle the seven lies that keep men stuck, ineffective, and spiritually asleep.
Modern culture celebrates “go with the flow” attitudes, conflict avoidance, and emotional softness — but none of that looks like Jesus. Garrett reminds us that Christ was never passive. He confronted lies, protected truth, and led with courage. Real masculinity creates strength, protection, and flourishing — not weakness or drift.

Inside this episode, you’ll discover: The Top 7 Passive Lies Men Believe Each lie is unpacked with practical examples and Biblical clarity:
- “I’m just being patient.” Learn the difference between godly patience and spiritual laziness.
- “I don’t want to make things worse.” How fear of conflict quietly destroys families, marriages, and leadership.
- “I’m just laid back.” Why “laid back” can actually be a denial of responsibility.
- “It’s not a big deal.” The massive danger of minimizing problems.
- “I don’t feel motivated.” How children follow feelings — men follow truth.
- “I don’t want to be controlling.” Why real leadership is invitation, not domination.
- “If God wants it to change, He’ll change it.” One of the most damaging forms of spiritual passivity.
