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.“Why you exist is not to do what you do. Why you exist is to know the Father.”📍 Chapters00:00 – Losing authority when you forget who you are03:30 – The enemy’s strategy: kill the person, steal the purpose, destroy the position06:45 – When activity replaces intimacy with the Father12:00 – How accusations gain power when identity is weak18:30 – Heavenly vs. earthly perspective26:00 – Discipleship rooted in identity, not performance36:00 – The connection between belief, purpose, and peace47:30 – Submitting your will vs. negotiating with God59:00 – Living “in Him” vs. apart from Him1:03:00 – The peace that comes from surrender1:10:00 – Why marriages and people lose purpose1:13:00 – Final prayer and encouragement to seek the Father’s voice📖 Bible Passages CoveredJohn 3:31–36 – The one from heaven is above allMatthew 28:19–20 – The Great CommissionMatthew 10:8 – Freely you have received, freely give1 Peter 2:8 – Stumbling because of disobedienceEphesians 2:15 – God’s purpose to create one new manRomans 9:21 – Can the clay say to the potter?Luke 7:30 – Rejecting God’s purpose for themselvesGalatians 5 – Earthly vs. heavenly natureActs 19 – Identity and spiritual authority#ChristianPodcast #FaithPurposeIdentity #KnowTheFather #EternalPerspective #BiblicalTeaching #LeeShaw #PurposeDrivenLife #KingdomCalling #DyingForAReasonToLive #SpiritualAuthority #SupernaturalPeace #SpotifySermons
