In this bold and counter-cultural episode of The Impossible Life, Nick and Garrett dive into a hot-button belief that challenges modern thinking about marriage, masculinity, and leadership:
"Don’t be vulnerable with your wife—be transparent."
It’s a concept that might offend, but it’s built on biblical truth, emotional discipline, and hard-won wisdom. Garrett breaks down why vulnerability—defined as making yourself susceptible to emotional wounding—is not your wife’s burden to carry. Instead, God has called men to strength, spiritual leadership, and emotional maturity that protects, not projects.
