In this episode of the Mind Shift Podcast, Aaron McManus and Erwin Raphael McManus, dive into the theme of alignment—the idea that intimacy, generosity, and humanity must work in harmony to create a meaningful life. Building on a talk Erwin gave at the recent Mosaic gathering, the two reflect on how alignment is more than a spiritual ideal; it's a practical framework for understanding values, relationships, and purpose. They begin the episode with updates about the Mosaic community, Erwin's extensive writing journey, and their excitement for the conference.The conversation quickly returns to a concept from Dr. Henry Cloud. The triangle of persecutor, rescuer, and victim. Erwin revisits this cultural lens and introduces his own alternative triangle, with humanity at the top, supported by intimacy and generosity. This shift reframes the narrative, encouraging people to move beyond reactive postures and into proactive alignment. Drawing on demographic data from Mosaic, Erwin shares why the shift in mindset matters, especially in an urban context where financial, emotional, and spiritual challenges collide.As the dialogue deepens, Erwin opens up about the unique challenges facing Mosaic Church, particularly after the loss of their Hollywood Boulevard location. He shares the importance of recognizing who makes up the core community and how generosity often follows alignment. A powerful example is offered through a story of a couple who, after finding financial success, gave a significant gift to Mosaic—not out of obligation, but out of a deeply personal sense of alignment with their values and faith. Erwin and Aaron contrast the giving cultures of suburban megachurches and urban churches, pointing out the complexities and opportunities that come with each.The father-son duo continues exploring how alignment informs every part of life, especially the way we give. Erwin suggests that when intimacy with God is present, questions about generosity answer themselves. They unpack how our values and priorities naturally fall into place when our inner world is in sync with divine love. Aaron shares moments from his own journey, and together they challenge listeners to examine the stories they tell themselves about scarcity, abundance, and what it means to live generously in a self-centered culture. It's a call to shed limiting beliefs and embrace a mindset rooted in trust and purpose.Rounding out the episode, Erwin and Aaron shift into a series of thought-provoking discussions—on the dangers of unchecked technology, the future of AI, generational trauma, and the need for personal agency. They ponder whether AI will reflect the best or worst of humanity, and Erwin shares chilling examples like the embedded kill switches in Chinese solar panels. Despite the heavy topics, the message remains clear: while external threats exist, the greatest obstacle—and opportunity—lies within ourselves. The episode ends with a call to courage, responsibility, and forward momentum.

Dr. Henry Cloud is an acclaimed leadership expert, clinical psychologist, and New York Times bestselling author of Boundaries, Necessary Endings, and more than 40 other life-changing books that have sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. For the past four decades, Henry has coached CEOs, guided families, and walked alongside everyday people in their most vulnerable moments to help them grow, heal, and lead. Today, Henry shares what it means to rise through pain, reframe failure and rewire the way we grow. You'll hear how his mother's tough love (and a trusted friend named Emmet) gave him the strength to rise after every fall—literally, how he lost his sense of purpose in college and the unexpected moment a stranger inspired him to change his life forever. Together, we explore boundaries, endings, vision, relationships, and the courage it takes to keep moving forward when life feels heavy. My friends, you'll leave today's conversation with renewed hope, practical wisdom, and a deeper understanding of why the right people in your life can make all the difference. You'll be reminded that the most important work we'll ever do is in relationships—with ourselves, with others, and with the future we dare to believe is still possible.

Show Notes: Transform Your Life: How Good Relationships Create True SecurityWelcome to the Security Series! In this episode, we're diving deep into a surprising truth: while releasing the need for external approval is crucial, healthy relationships are absolutely fundamental to understanding and experiencing true love and security. It's not about being "mushy" or self-indulgent; it's about becoming your own ally and building a foundation of inner strength.We discuss how love, like any vital resource, needs to flow. When it's hoarded or kept in isolation, it stagnates and ultimately dies. Just as an economy needs the flow of money, your emotional well-being needs the flow of give and receive love. This is why the idea of "love yourself" isn't about being alone; it's about being in a position to love and be loved by others, learning what that truly looks like from those around you. We'll explore Dr. Henry Cloud's insights on how we learn love from our earliest relationships and how allowing others to see your flaws and still like you can teach you to like yourself.But what if you didn't have those strong examples growing up, or you find yourself isolated now? Don't worry, we've got you covered! We'll share actionable advice on how to find healthy relationships that will bolster your security and well-being.In this episode, you'll learn:Why security is about being comfortable and loving yourself, not about self-indulgence.The crucial role of others in learning to give and receive love.The danger of isolation and how it stunts emotional growth."Green Flags" to look for in healthy friendships: authenticity, the ability to celebrate others, a general slant toward positivity and gratitude, and resilience.Where to look for these supportive relationships, including healthy churches and community groups."Red Flags" to watch out for: dependency, consistent negativity, and a habit of quitting.Your Challenge:Make a list of "green flag" people in your life to reach out to.Contact them within the next week to start a conversation.Identify any "red flag" relationships that might be holding you back and consider how to create healthy boundaries.Don't forget to subscribe for more insights on building true security from the inside out! and find more resources at www.thrivingman.comsecurity, relationships, love, healthy relationships, emotional well-being, self-love, isolation, personal growth, authenticity, positivity, resilience, dependency, friendships, Dr. Henry Cloud, give and receive love, find friends, green flags, red flags, personal security, inner strength, well-being, emotional health, connection, community, transformation, self-acceptance.

In this episode of the Mind Shift Podcast, Aaron and Erwin McManus reflect on Erwin's recent trip to Birmingham, Alabama, where he attended the Leadership Factor Conference. Despite a whirlwind of travel from Los Angeles to Houston to Birmingham and back, Erwin shares his excitement about connecting with influential leaders like Chris Hodges, Dave Ramsey, Henry Cloud, and Patrick Lencioni. He emphasizes the power of systems in leadership and entrepreneurship, pointing to Chris Hodges' approach as a model of clarity and effectiveness.

The segment paints a fuller picture of Erwin's spiritual journey and openness to diverse expressions of belief.The episode deepens with Erwin's retelling of Henry Cloud's insights about the pervasive cultural narrative of victim, persecutor, and rescuer. They explore how this psychological triangle plays out in movements like Me Too or immigration debates and discuss the danger of being trapped in any of those roles. Erwin stresses the importance of refusing to see oneself as a victim or aggressor, instead championing a mindset rooted in ownership, personal responsibility, and mutual empowerment. This philosophy extends to his broader leadership approach, particularly in coaching and ministry.The episode wraps with several forward-looking discussions, including Mosaic Church's evolving future, Erwin's leadership during high-pressure transitions, and the launch of  Ghost Artifacts.

Aaron shares excitement for upcoming releases and the ethos behind their creative projects. They close the episode with gratitude for their community, a call to engage with the new Ghost Artifacts collection, and a reminder about the upcoming Mosaic Conference—a celebration of vision, creativity, and the next chapter ahead.

"Máte len silu zmeniť seba. Nemôžete zmeniť iného človeka." V bestselleri New York Times s názvom Hranice vám doktor Henry Cloud a John Townsend pomôžu naučiť sa, kedy povedať áno a vedieť povedať nie, aby ste prevzali kontrolu nad svojím životom a stanovili si zdravé hranice. Cítite, že váš život nie je vo vašich rukách? Možno máte pocit, že musíte vyhovieť každému. Možno nevedomky preberáte zodpovednosť za pocity a problémy iných. Alebo sa tak veľmi snažíte byť milujúci a nesebeckí, že ste zabudli na vlastné hranice. Hranica v rôznych oblastiach nášho života vymedzuje, kto sa k nám smie priblížiť, pomáha nám rozhodnúť komu a čomu povieme nie alebo áno, či určiť vzťah k sebe samému. Hranica je rozhodnutie, ktorým definujeme veci a okolnosti, za ktoré sme zodpovední. Definuje, kto sme a kto nie sme. Táto audiokniha prináša biblický pohľad na to čo sú hranice a tiež: -čo chránia -ako sa vytvárajú -ako sú narušované -ako ich opraviť -ako ich využívať Naučte sa stanoviť si či napraviť hranice vo vzťahu k našim blízkym – k rodine, partnerovi, deťom, v práci, ale aj k sebe samému a k Bohu. "Zo všetkých kníh, ktoré som čítal, sú Hranice tou, ktorú najčastejšie odporúčam." - Craig Groeschel, pastor a najpredávanejší autor podľa New York Times "Hranice odporúčam priateľom, členom tímu a poslucháčom rádia už viac ako dvadsať rokov." - Dave Ramsey, najpredávanejší autor a moderátor celoštátnej rozhlasovej relácie Preklad: Ivana Várošová Audiokniha: Hranice Autor: Henry Cloud a John Townsend Interpret: Michal Ďuriš Dĺžka: 13:37 h Vydavateľstvo: Publixing a Porta Libri Audiokniha Hranice na webe Publixing (MP3 na stiahnutie) Audiokniha Hranice na webe Audiolibrix (MP3 na stiahnutie)

As believers, we are given a firm foundation in Christ.  We are forgiven, justified, sanctified, redeemed, accepted, and valued.  Shame prevents us from living in the daily reality of these spiritual blessings in Christ.  We don't feel worthy.  We can believe the blessings are for others but not for us.  Shame distorts our interpretation of reality.  Without trusting what is true or standing on the firm foundation given to us, we cannot mature as believers.  We remain stuck in the lies of shame and assume we are ineligible.   Bruce McNicol, founder and former president of Trueface ministry joins me again this week on the podcast.  He speaks to the importance of a healthy and grace-based faith community for our spiritual growth.  Bruce says that the Holy Spirit is a great teacher and networker who will bring relational opportunities for us to be encouraged in our maturing process.  Bruce's words are full of hope and practical wisdom for our everyday lives.

Hope doesn't come after pain—it rises within our pain. As we continue our journey through Luke's gospel in week two of our "Hope Rising" series, we encounter Jesus preparing his followers for difficult times ahead. While they admired the magnificent temple in Jerusalem—its stunning white limestone and gold accents symbolizing permanence and divine presence—Jesus delivers a shocking prophecy: "Not one stone will be left on top of another."Unlike leaders who offer shallow platitudes, Jesus doesn't sugarcoat reality. He warns of persecution, betrayal, global conflict, natural disasters, and cosmic upheaval. Yet within this sobering forecast, he plants seeds of profound hope: "This will be your opportunity to tell them about me." The very moments of greatest challenge become platforms for powerful testimony.Most striking is Jesus's paradoxical promise: "Not a hair on your head will perish." Given that many disciples would face martyrdom, this wasn't about physical safety. Rather, Jesus reveals a deeper truth—what truly matters cannot be destroyed by worldly powers. Our essential being remains secure in Christ even when everything around us crumbles.The passage culminates with Jesus's instruction that when chaos reaches its peak, his followers should "stand and look up, for your salvation is near." This invitation challenges us to examine where we've anchored our hope. Have we built our security on temples that can fall—career achievements, financial stability, perfect health, ideal relationships? When these foundations tremble, we discover what truly sustains us.As Dr. Henry Cloud wisely distinguishes, "A wish is hope without evidence, but hope, real hope, is based on evidence." Our Christian hope isn't groundless optimism but is anchored in the historical reality of Jesus's resurrection. The empty tomb remains the ultimate evidence that suffering doesn't have the final word. This is why, even in our darkest moments, hope can still rise.What does it look like for hope to rise anew in your life today? Join us as we explore how to build faith-filled endurance that doesn't shake when the world does.Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode, consider subscribing to Madison Church on your favorite podcast platform.

This series is dedicated to parents who feel tired, confused, or frustrated - because let's be honest, parenting isn't just hard; sometimes, it feels impossible. In this episode, we dive into the challenges of parenting today and explore the tension between two popular approaches: gentle parenting and tough love parenting. John, Lynn and Austin discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each and introduce a balanced framework - love and limits - that can help parents find a more effective and sustainable way to raise their children. Whether you're a parent or someone who interacts with kids in any capacity, there's something in this episode for you! Here's what we cover: Understanding the extremes: Gentle Parenting: Focuses on emotional attunement, empathy, and attachment but can sometimes lack necessary boundaries. Tough Love Parenting: Emphasizes structure, discipline, and authority but can sometimes be overly rigid and emotionally distant. A Better Way – Love and Limits: Parenting is about balancing emotional connection and boundaries. Parenting the way God parents us means we are offering love while providing guidance. Structure without relationship leads to rebellion, and unchecked emotions can create chaos. Practical Parenting Takeaways: Reflect on whether your parenting leans too heavily on love or limits and make adjustments, tailoring your approach to each child's unique needs. If you default to tough love, ask for feedback from your kids, acknowledge any past mistakes, and be willing to apologize. If you lean towards gentle parenting, start setting and enforcing boundaries - even if your child protests at first. Be prepared for the extinction burst - behavior may initially escalate when limits are introduced but will stabilize over time. The truth is that parenting is challenging, but the good news is that you're not alone! God sees and cares about where you are in your parenting journey, and he is with you in the weeds of parenting.

n this episode Dr. Henry Cloud explores the mindset shift needed to navigate life's inevitable challenges. Beginning with the biblical principle that "in this world you have tribulation," Dr. Cloud examines how accepting reality—rather than fighting against it—makes us more resilient when facing difficulties. The show also includes conversations with callers facing significant life transitions. Vanessa grapples with leaving a teaching job she once thought would be her forever career after contract disagreements. Rita discusses forgiveness. Having forgiven her brother's murderer she is now  struggling to forgive friends for a seemingly smaller offense. They rejected her relationship with her husband due to small religious differences. Dr. Cloud provides practical guidance on building support systems beyond workplace relationships, addressing broken trust, and understanding the distinction between forgiveness and healing. Listeners will learn ways to face difficult realities, build meaningful connections, and move forward after disappointment. You deserve relationships that lift you up, not wear you down. If you're feeling exhausted by toxic people or unsure how to handle difficult behaviors, Dr. Henry Cloud is here to help.

In the final episode of our Surviving and Thriving After Trauma series, hosts Lynn Roush, LPC, John Tinnin, MDiv, MFT and Austin Conner, MDiv, PLPC reflect on the key takeaways from the series and answer listener-submitted questions about trauma, healing, and resilience. This series was dedicated to helping you define trauma, understand its impacts, and begin the journey toward healing. Not only have we learned from the many trauma survivors we've interviewed, we have also come to see the powerful presence of Jesus in the face of suffering.  These are the listener questions we tackle in this episode:  Are some traumas worse than others?  What should you say (or not say) to someone who has experienced trauma? What skills do I need to work through trauma in my life and help others?  How do I know when I've healed from trauma?  The key takeaways we want you to remember are: Trauma impacts every aspect of your being—mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Healing is a journey, not a one-time event. You may never feel "fully healed," but you can experience post-traumatic growth and resilience. The presence of a safe, understanding person can be one of the most powerful tools in trauma recovery. Scripture provides deep comfort, but timing and approach matter when offering biblical encouragement. Healing includes recognizing the reality of trauma, holding responsible parties accountable, and embracing God's sustaining grace.

Throughout these conversations, Dr. Cloud provides actionable insights on setting boundaries, seeking appropriate therapeutic support, and celebrating relationship victories even after significant struggles.

Why Is Transition Rule #1 - Don't Do It Alone? When talking about the transition, why did we make Transition Rule #1 -Don't Do It Alone?  At Cameron-Brooks, we've spent nearly 50 years helping Junior Military Officers (JMOs) make this transition successfully. A lot has changed in 50 years, and there is one thing for certain: There is so much information out there. There are a lot of resources and people out there who want to help you. We've developed 6 Rules for the JMO Military to Business Transition to help break through the vast amounts of information and organize it for you. These rules provide a framework and a structure to help you gather information, plan, prepare and help educate you on your options outside of the military. In this episode, we're joined by Tim Kirchner, who has spent 20+ years in the recruiting Industry. He's a key team member and leader at Cameron-Brooks. What is unique about Tim is that he's seen both sides. He's been at Cameron-Brooks for the last six years and has helped thousands of JMO's learn about their options and helped communicate how companies view and understand them. He's spent the majority of his professional career communicating with Hiring Managers and helping them find, build, and retain talent. Tim was the main driver behind organizing these rules. He's a wonderful teammate and leader, and we value that he's seen a lot, and he brings a fresh perspective and a “different frame” of viewing things. In this episode, we dove into the crucial first step: finding the right guide. We discuss key insights, practical strategies, and the value of a guide in the transition to help you build a plan, develop a strategy, and start building the foundation for your transition. We start with Transition Rule #1: Don't Do It Alone. In other words, Find Your Guide. Why Should You Find a Guide? It will highly increase your chances of being successful in the transition, based on how you define success. When starting something new, the most important thing to do is gather information and get educated on that topic. So naturally, how do we do that? We find information and people who know things that we don't. We learn from people who have gone before us and from people who have experience. What to Look for when You Find a Guide? The first thing that's important when you find a guide is choosing one that you trust. With trust comes open, candid communication, that goes both ways. For the JMO, it's about communicating what's important to you and thinking about your objectives in the transition. For the guide, it's about listening and being honest about the realistic nature of achieving those goals based upon the proposed strategy. We discussed the importance of trust, which stems from the book Trust by Dr. Henry Cloud. The five components of trust: 1. Does the guide understand what is important to you? 2. Does the guide have the expertise? 3. Does the guide have the Integrity and Character to do what they say they are going to do? 4. Does the guide have transparency in their motive to help you? 5. Does the guide have a clear track record? Transformation over Transaction Joel left us with some closing thoughts. Our mission at Cameron-Brooks is about transformation, not transaction. We don't just place JMOs in front of Hiring Managers and Decision Makers for open developmental positions. It goes further than that. We strive to be Counterculture to help JMOs grow, reflect, and step into the next phase of their careers with confidence. We strive to provide confidence in your choice to find a guide. Ready to Take the Next Step? Are you ready to follow Transition Rule #1 - Don't Do It Alone? Want to learn more?

Dr. Cloud presents practical strategies for regaining control through intentional activities rather than passive consumption. The episode includes call-in segments where Dr. Cloud addresses relationship trust issues, catastrophic thinking patterns, and navigating complex family dynamics.   You deserve relationships that lift you up, not wear you down.

In this episode of The Dr. Cloud Show, psychologist Henry Cloud explores the delicate balance of addressing relationship problems while preserving emotional connection. He examines how to separate behaviors from personal worth, and ways to provide feedback without damaging self-esteem or injecting contempt into important relationships. Dr. Cloud walks through practical applications with callers facing common challenges: a wife seeking family stability while her husband changes jobs frequently, an individual rebuilding career direction after marital separation, and adult children concerned about a parent's pattern of physical altercations. Each situation illustrates effective boundary-setting, conflict resolution, and communication techniques that maintain respect while confronting difficult truths. Dr. Cloud emphasizes that healthy relationships require both honesty and compassion—showing how marriage counseling, family therapy principles, and workplace communication strategies all benefit from addressing problems through a lens of acceptance rather than rejection. His approach offers practical tools for parents, couples, and professionals to evaluate behaviors constructively while affirming the inherent value of the people involved.    

In this episode, Dr. Cloud examines the concept of incremental progress—explaining why personal growth happens little by little rather than all at once. The discussion covers how consistent small steps contribute to progress when dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and health concerns.

Throughout these conversations, he outlines a framework for measuring progress, maintaining motivation, and finding peace when life takes unexpected turns.

I get to have deep conversations with people who have had great influence in the lives of so many people. Dr Henry Cloud became synonymous with the term boundaries after his groundbreaking book, Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life, and has influenced millions of people in doing just that, taking control of their lives. I was a mere 21 years old when Dr Cloud's Boundaries book published and wouldn't become aware of boundaries for another 21 years, and wouldn't truly implement them in my life till much later. Today, 33 years later, as I record this, the book is ranked #256. Incredible. I got the chance to sit down with him and Tom Ziglar a few years ago when Henry brought his focus and insight into leadership and influence. We began talking about boundaries, then got into leadership and influence. Influence is one of my favorite topics, as we all want influence. Without it, we can't help anyone. I think you'll get great insight from our discussion. You can find all Dr Cloud has to offer at his website, drcloud.com. And I don't know anyone who would not benefit from reading his book on Boundaries.
