Everyone asks the same question: “What is my purpose?” But what if that’s actually the wrong question?

In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface unpack one of the most important ideas they’ve ever discussed: the purpose perspective. Instead of asking what your purpose is, the better question is: What is the purpose?

When you zoom out and look at the entire story of Scripture—from creation to Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and the church—you begin to see a single thread running through all of human history: God is making His glory and goodness known throughout the earth.

And the incredible part? God has chosen to accomplish that mission through people. Your life isn’t about discovering one specific achievement or career path. It’s about understanding the greater purpose God is carrying out in the world and discovering your part to play in it.

In this episode, Nick and Garrett discuss:

Why purpose is not a single job or accomplishment
The “City Slickers” story and the search for the one thing
How understanding God’s larger plan brings clarity to your life
Why God cares more about who you’re becoming than what you achieve
How purpose often becomes clear only after years of preparation
Why endurance is required to see the full impact of your life

They also break down three purpose blockers that keep people from seeing and living purposefully:

Selfishness – When life becomes about your achievements and comparisons.
2. Fear and lack of vision – When the desire for security replaces courage.
3. Lack of endurance – When people quit before purpose fully unfolds.

When you remove these blockers and begin to see life through the purpose perspective, everything changes. Your job becomes purposeful. Your struggles become preparation. Your obedience becomes meaningful. Because purpose isn’t about discovering one specific thing you’re supposed to do.

It’s about living in alignment with the greater story God is writing across all of history. And when you understand that perspective, you stop drifting—and start living with purpose.
