The Edge & Back Pt. 3: Dying for a Reason to Live

What happens when you lose your "why"? In this powerful message, Pastor Lee Shaw explores the foundational question that haunts many believers: Why am I doing what I’m doing? Drawing from personal experiences and biblical truth, he reveals how the enemy seeks to kill your identity, steal your purpose, and destroy your position. But God's voice still speaks—if we dare to ask honest questions.

This sermon challenges listeners to move beyond religious activity and rediscover a relationship rooted in heavenly purpose. If you've ever wrestled with burnout, identity, or feeling stuck in your faith, this message is for you.
