Episode 111 - Mike Donehey
“What is God’s will for my life?” If we’re honest, it’s a question we’ve all probably asked. For Mike Donehey, it’d be easy to think he’d figured out his answer. As the award-winning lead singer of Tenth Avenue North, it certainly seems like he’s doing exactly what God’s will for him is.
But Mike found himself asking, “is this really God’s will?” And more than that, he even found himself wondering what “God’s will” even means. Mike sits down with Davey to talk about the things he’s learned, how he’s flipped the way he thinks, and what it looks like to live the title of his latest book Finding God’s Life for My Will.
“God wants intimacy with me more than He wants success from me. ”
Finding God’s life For My Will
By Mike Donehey
The lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist for award-winning contemporary Christian band Tenth Avenue North shows readers that by seeking God first and focusing on serving Him, we can live daily in His will.
"Perhaps God isn't giving me the plan because He wants to be the plan."
This was the aha moment for Mike Donehey after years of wrestling with his obsession to know God's specific plans for his life. He came to the realization that waiting for absolute certainty from God before making decisions may seem uberspiritual, but it can lead to a life of intense stress, paralyzing fear, and crushing regret--just the opposite of the freedom granted to those living a Christ-filled life.
"This is my story...how I gave up begging to know God's will and began to ask His life to come and change my will."
With his signature humor and relentless hunger for God, Mike will show you that discovering the Father's purpose and plan for our lives is not the shell game that we all too often make it out to be. If you're unsure what to do next, take heart and accept the ultimate invitation: learn to see God as the plan, not simply the formula to the plan.
“If God can work beauty out of Jesus’ death on the cross then certainly He can make something beautiful out of the shattered pieces of my life. ”
