Of the tough times they faced, how many were from deciding to take their own direction? 

Or agree with their own cultural direction?

‍

Shadow Mission:

“A shadow mission is an authentic mission that has been derailed, often in imperceptible ways. Part of what makes the shadow mission so tempting is that it’s usually so closely related to our gifts and passions. It’s not 180 degrees off track; it is just 10 degrees off track.”

‍

“If we fail to embrace our true mission, we will live out our shadow mission. We will let our lives center around things that are unworthy, selfish and dark.”

John Ortberg
