Modern culture says equality means splitting everything 50/50.
But what if that’s not just inefficient—it’s actually unwise?
In this unapologetic episode of The Impossible Life, Nick and Garrett tackle one of their most controversial convictions yet:
A clearly defined division of labor in the home isn't outdated—it's divine.
Rooted in experience, principle, and biblical design, this conversation will challenge how you think about roles, parenting, identity, and the way you build your family life. If you're tired of shallow slogans and want to raise strong kids with a Kingdom vision—this one is for you.
🔥 In This Episode:

Why dividing labor reduces resentment and eliminates scorekeeping in marriage
How the “default parent” concept can actually provide security—not inequality
The difference between roles that oppress and roles that express love and honor
Why excellence and calling, not preference or pressure, should determine responsibility
The spiritual and emotional cost of outsourcing your children’s formation
The lie that “more money” equals a better life—and what real wealth looks like

📖 Key Themes:

Honor – How embracing roles actually honors God and each other
Excellence – Why your wife is better at some things—and that’s not just OK, it’s strategic
Vision – The prerequisite to executing any structure that works long-term
Sacrifice – How both men and women are called to give up comfort for what matters most
