The Edge & Back Pt. 2: Why Am I Doing This, God?

In Part 2 of The Edge and Back, Lee Shaw challenges listeners to confront one of life’s deepest questions: "Why am I doing this, God?" Through compelling storytelling and deep scriptural insight, he explores how separating our purpose, person, and position leads to emptiness—and how God’s design is for us to live in unity with His eternal plan.

Drawing from Isaiah 46, Ephesians 1:11, Hebrews 6:17, and Zephaniah 3:17, Lee emphasizes that true identity and fulfillment come only when we let God answer the questions of why we are, who we are, and what we are to do.

This message is a clarion call to abandon the world’s definitions of success and self-worth and embrace a Christ-centered reality that brings peace, purpose, and power. It's not about doing more—it’s about being known and walking in God's will.
