212. Three Ways to Kill Your Destiny: Avoid the Traps That Sabotage God’s Purpose for Your Life


Listen Later

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
