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.📖 Bible Passages CoveredIsaiah 46:5–10 – “I am God, and there is no other… My purpose will stand.”Ephesians 1:11 – “In Him we were also chosen… according to the plan of Him.”Hebrews 6:17 – “God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear.”Isaiah 9:6–7 – “And He will be called Wonderful Counselor…”Acts 19 – The sons of Sceva: authority rooted in identityZephaniah 3:17 – “He will rejoice over you with singing.”⏱️Chapters00:00 – Introduction & Church Updates05:56 – Three Pillars: Purpose, Person, Position08:16 – When Environment Challenges Identity12:29 – God's Promise Flows from His Purpose19:48 – If You're His, He Will Conform You22:29 – Are You Ashamed of Why God Made You?26:34 – What Are You Worshiping?31:27 – Your ‘Why’ Defines Your ‘Who’35:07 – Christ-Centered Reality vs. Self-Esteem41:39 – Ephesians 1:11 – Chosen with Purpose48:15 – Your Identity Is in Christ, Not Your Past53:34 – Hebrews 6:17 – God's Purpose Is Unchanging58:52 – Isaiah 9:6 – He Will Establish His Kingdom1:02:26 – Gold or Stubble?
