“I’m so proud of Drew and his willingness to share difficult experiences in an authentic and helpful way. This book is an important reminder that each of us has a mission in life and we can fulfill it as long as we turn to the right source, get up when we fall down and keep moving forward in faith.”
- Jane Clayson Johnson, Journalist and Best-Selling author, “Silent Souls Weeping”
"Drew’s honesty and openness will bless many young adults whose full-time missions may have been altered by world conditions or personal circumstances. In addition, Drew’s experience is an encouragement to discover that a full-time mission is only a small subset of a life’s mission for each individual, which is ongoing, which is unique, and from which one will never be released."
– John Bytheway, Author
"Finally, someone who isn’t afraid to be real and raw about the not so pretty and complex aspects of our life’s mission. We strive to be the person we believe we are supposed to be, but it can be discouraging and isolating when we fall short. Being in a culture that values image and perfection, it can be difficult to handle the reality of how messy and imperfect our lives truly are. Often times because of the judgment of others, or our harsh judgment we have towards ourselves, we don’t see the intrinsic value we have. Drew’s book helps validate that experience and draw up purpose and direction out of any situation, especially when it isn’t deemed the ‘perfect ideal’ experience. He shows that mental illness, trials, confusion, and conflict can be a jumping off point for connection and a more fulfilling life. If you have ever felt alone or like you aren’t enough, give this a read."
- Monica Moore Smith, Film Actress, Content Creator, and Writer
The Meaning of Your Mission is such an important topic. God’s plan of happiness is personal for each of His children. So it is heartbreaking when we compare our plan with someone else’s. Thank you Drew for sharing such an authentic look into the wrestle and process of finding your way when the way looks differently than planned.
– Ganel-Lyn Condie, Speaker and Best-Selling Author
“Drew’s book reiterates the truth that the Savior has already taken care of it. Stop worrying so much about being perfect. Jesus bought us with His blood. To think we are anything less than that is to undervalue the sacrifice of our Lord on our behalf.”
– Paul Cardall, Gospel Music Association’s Dove Award Winning Recording Artist
"At first, I was skeptical of this book’s ability to provide deep, meaningful advice and experiences for early returned missionaries. However, Drew shares his raw emotions and stories about this “hush-hush” topic in a way that embraces all who read it as well as empowers those who have lived it.As a big advocate of sisters serving missions, I especially loved the chapter where Drew directly addresses the young adult women of the church and discusses the differences between the doctrinal and cultural expectations that often plague our faith. I highly recommend this to ALL members: if you’re thinking about serving, The Meaning of Your Mission will give you direction and help you discover your purpose before you step foot into the field; and if you're just living your life's mission, Drew’s book will help you in your own walk with Christ but also feel compassion for members who are often struggling in silence."

“After teaching the author in my college course I hired him to work with me. I was impressed with his determination, ability and genuine interest in other people. It was not until many months later I learned of his struggles. What makes The Meaning of Your Mission different is that it is more than just his story: it provides a guiding light for others who struggle and seek solace in life. It is not just a roadmap to be followed, but provides hope for others to find their personal way to happiness . This story is real and for those who have feelings of inadequacy it offers insight into the beauty of finding our path even if it is sometimes filled with feelings that don’t have to defeat us. What I loved was the way he showed that with all the issues he faced he kept moving and found the way that was right for him. This message can be read and assimilated into the lives of those who ponder his thoughts and use them to develop their own ideas of a future. He gives hope that struggles are places to start the process, they are not the definitions of the person. I firmly believe that his experience was a vital outcome of his missionary service."
– Kerry Hammock, Director, University Advisement Center, Brigham Young University
"I am so grateful that Drew was willing to share such personal and painful experiences in The Meaning of Your Mission. I know that this book will be a huge blessing to other young people who may not be able to serve a mission in the way they anticipated, as well as their parents and leaders and anyone who may be struggling with feelings of perfectionism or self-doubt."
