The phrase refers to Elwood and Jake's quest to get their band back together in order to raise the $5k necessary to save the Catholic home where the boys were raised. Being on a mission from God also reminds us that the boys realize their quest is bigger than the the two of them and the band.
This modern comedy is a favorite of mine as a story of redemption blended with blues music. It also reminds me of my current "mission from God" which is to work with non-profit fundraising leaders so that they may more effectively lead their teams and raise more money for their organizations.
In life we often get mired in what Stephen Covey referred to as "the thick of thin things". Having a mission, purpose, or destiny can be helpful in keeping clear of such muddy swamps.
So, what's your mission?
