This week, we step into a defining moment—not just for our community, but for each of us personally. As we prepare to transition locations from Hollywood, we're reminded that the most significant moves in life are never about geography — they're about courage.In this message, Pastor Erwin McManus unpacks the opening chapter of Joshua, where God's words to a fearful young leader echo through time: Be strong and courageous. This isn't a pep talk. It's a command. A call to action. A summons for anyone ready to leave behind comfort and step into the unknown.Through powerful storytelling, real-life moments of failure and faith, and deep spiritual reflection, this talk is a challenge to stop waiting to be chosen and start choosing bravery. The sign over the next season reads Only the Brave. The only question left is: will you walk through the door?

In today's message, we explore one of the most transformative truths of the spiritual journey: alignment. What does it mean to live a life aligned with God's heart, purpose, and calling? From the intersections of Hollywood and South Pasadena to communities in Calabasas, Mexico City, Ecuador, New York, and London, this conversation is both deeply personal and globally relevant.Pastor Erwin McManus invites us into a raw and honest reflection on the power of intimacy with God, the necessity of radical generosity, and a higher view of humanity. Through stories of Mosaic's improbable impact, vulnerable moments of confession, and practical insight into what alignment really looks like—this message becomes a blueprint for anyone who wants to stop merely believing and start fully living.This isn't a talk about giving. It's a conversation about love. About how we act when we're really in love—with God, with people, with the future He's placed inside of us. If you've ever felt stuck, misaligned, or like your life doesn't yet reflect your deepest convictions, this is for you.

In this episode from the archives, Pastor Erwin McManus shares his unexpected journey from skepticism to faith, his conviction to plant roots in Los Angeles, and the challenges of building a church that embraces the outsider. With raw honesty, he recounts battles fought—not just against societal norms, but within the church itself—while casting a bold vision for the next 20 years. This episode is more than a celebration; it's a rallying cry to step into the unknown, to embrace the giants ahead, and to be architects of a world where creativity and spirituality collide. If you've ever wrestled with your calling, struggled to fit into traditional faith structures, or dreamed of making an impact, this is a must-listen. The future is ours to create.

During a time of tragic loss with the fires raging in Los Angeles, Pastor Erwin McManus brought a dynamic message helping us see God's presence in the middle of it all.   In the Scriptures, he points out that we often have a multitude of questions for God during crisis. We ask him why he doesn't stop tragedy from happening and where he is when we're suffering.   But instead of answering us, God comes with his own questions that challenge us to take responsibility in moments of hardship.    God asks us who he will send into the fire to be a place of refuge for others.  He asks us who will have the courage to move toward the crisis.  He asks us to go and be the hands and feet of Jesus.    As Mosaic, we are responding with urgency to the call. We are called to be a place of refuge for Los Angeles.   Tune into this powerful message and join us as we answer the call.

This past Sunday, Pastor Erwin McManus delivered a powerful message on the barriers of authentic human connection.  Drawing from John 1 and his new book "The Seven Frequencies of Communication," he explored how we can use communication to mask our true selves. He guided us through the concept of shadow frequencies and how they shape our interactions and self-perception. When we communicate with our shadow frequency, we create miscommunication and missed connections that prevent us from truly seeing one another. Pastor Erwin emphasized that transformation begins when we confront these shadows and allow the light of our authentic selves to shine through. It takes courage to face our shadows but this courage is essential to create the human connection we long for.  Are you ready to step out of your shadow frequency and into the light? Catch this exciting new message and order Pastor Erwin McManus' new book today!

Pastor Erwin McManus shared a dynamic new message based on the scriptures and his brand-new book The Seven Frequencies of Communication.   After being asked what God's frequency of communication is, Pastor Erwin shared that Jesus himself is God's frequency of communication.   Through examples in the scriptures, we see that though Jesus is fluent in all seven frequencies, he tailors his voice to the needs of each individual.   To the broken, Jesus speaks as a healer. To those who need a teacher, Jesus speaks as a professor. To the stagnant, Jesus speaks as a challenger. To the doubtful, Jesus speaks as a motivator. To those who need vision, Jesus speaks as a seer. To the directionless, Jesus speaks as a commander. To those who need a new view of reality, Jesus speaks as a maven.   Jesus is always speaking to us in the frequency we need to hear in the moment instead of simply what we want to hear.   Are you ready to tune into the frequency of Jesus?   Listen to this powerful message today and order Pastor Erwin's brand-new book The Seven Frequencies of Communication.

This Past Sunday, Pastor Erwin McManus delivered a challenging message on the importance of living in responsive obedience to God's voice.   Speaking from the book of Hebrews, he shared that though God has an incredible future in store for us — it is our responsibility to move into it.   Pastor Erwin gave us three key insights:    -You do not have the power to slow down time, but you have the power to delay your future.   -Your speed of response to the voice of God is the measure of your intimacy with God.   -You can fast forward your future as you close the gap between hearing God's voice and acting on what he has spoken to you.   Are you ready to move at the speed of God's voice?   Tune into this transformative message now!

Pastor Erwin McManus shared a transformative new message on the powerful human connection available through the seven frequencies of communication.   Speaking from Acts chapter 2, he pointed out that though we often use language to separate and divide — God is always finding ways to connect us.    Communication comes from the root word, commune. Pastor Erwin explained that we are designed to commune with God and one another.    Breaking down the seven frequencies of communication, we learned that we are uniquely designed to connect with others and bring transformation to the world around us.   Pre-order Pastor Erwin's brand-new book now and discover your frequency of communication.   Tune into this message now!

This weekend, Pastor Erwin McManus brought new insights that challenged us to step into a new level of connection to God. Speaking from the book of Galatians, he shared that there are 3 levels of connection to God: 1: The universal good  2: The adopted child 3: The heir apparent We experience the universal good as we live our lives enjoying the blessings that God gives to all of humanity whether we believe in him or not. The adopted child has a relationship with God and experiences his grace, but the heir apparent has stepped into the maturity needed to inherit the life that God is longing to give them. Are you ready to take your relationship with God to the next level?  Don't miss this message!

This Easter, Pastor Erwin McManus invites us to step into the story our souls long for.   He shares from the book of Matthew that Jesus created a tear in the fabric of time and space when he died on the cross.    The separation between God and humanity caused by fear, despair, and hate was torn in two as Jesus conquered darkness and rose from the dead.   When the tomb was found empty, it shattered humanity's understanding of the world. Jesus gave us an invitation to experience an eternal reality as we entered into a relationship with him.    Are you ready to step into the story that will change your life forever?   Check out this powerful Easter message now

In a transformative new message, Pastor Erwin McManus breaks down the ultimate covert advantage:  transforming humans from the inside out.   Speaking from Hebrews chapter 8, he explains that God chose Israel to be an example of what it means to obey God as a result of having our hearts transformed from stone to flesh.   Pastor Erwin explains that when we are given hearts of flesh instead of hearts of stone, we become our most human selves — able to embrace attributes like humility, forgiveness, and gratitude.   We are not designed to live rigid lives with hearts of stone that are unwilling to yield to Jesus. God's covert mission compels us to love and follow him out of an overflow of our love for him.   If you're ready to stop simply following rules and start following Jesus, this message is for you!

Pastor Erwin McManus brought a riveting new message on the importance of living a life deeply connected to God.  Pulling from a fascinating story about Elijah and Ahab in the Scriptures, Pastor Erwin points out that there are 4 different levels of awareness that we can decide to live in.  Unconscious: unaware of God's movement around us. Experiential: only believe in what can be seen, heard, and touched.  Spiritual: aware that a spiritual realm exists. Transcendent: in step with the future God is creating through prayer. While Ahab was only aware of God's movement when he could see, hear, or touch it, Elijah could sense God's movement before it was ever actualized in front of him.  Pastor Erwin encourages us Elijah's spiritual life is the rule and not the exception to our spiritual lives. Each of us has access to God on this level through prayer.  If you are ready to live deeply connected to what God is doing, tune into this powerful new message!

For some of us, having faith in God comes more naturally. For others, it isn't that simple. In this message from August of 2018, Pastor Erwin McManus walks us through his journey of finding faith. He explains that to him, the journey to Jesus was just that: a journey! Growing up he experienced a wide array of religions and was exposed to many world views. He did not imagine being a pastor when he grew up. As we navigate our way through life, we are informed about different religions and ways to God. But how do we know which path really is the way? Pastor Erwin references John 14:6 when Jesus says “No one comes to the Father except through me.” He explains that Jesus came to us and did not force us to believe. Rather, our own souls call us to believe in something more, and that Jesus is the only God that is searching for us, rather than us searching for God. When we have only a mathematical view of the world, we simply become a part of the falling domino effect. Our lives are a passive happening that we do not have freedom of choice inside of. But we know there must be more intention and meaning to our lives than this. We know deep down there is purpose and that our choices make a powerful impact on the future. Jesus' life is the perfect example of a God who meets us right where we are and opens us up to the wonder of life all around us. “Jesus came to show us what God would do to get to us.” -Erwin McManus

Pastor Erwin McManus kicks off Generosity Month at Mosaic with a new message on how you can use your God-given ability to create wealth.   When we ask God to do more for us, he often responds by asking us to do more for others.   In Deuteronomy, God lays out a framework to help us understand our capacity to generate wealth and the  responsibility our wealth has to impact as many lives as possible.    When we position ourselves with a heart of generosity, there's no limit to how God can move in our lives.    If you're ready to move into a life of generosity, check out this message now!

In week 4 of the mind shift series, Pastor Erwin McManus revealed that we find what we are in the world around us. In Genesis chapter 4, Cain kills his brother due to jealousy. But even after he kills his brother, Cain expresses that he is afraid of being killed. Pastor Erwin points out that Cain was afraid of being killed because he himself was a murderer and therefore it informed how he saw everyone around him. As we navigate life, Pastor Erwin points out that we either see the world as a beautiful place full of possibility or a dangerous place full of threat.  We're encouraged that if we want to find trustworthy friends, we must become trustworthy. If we want to find a better world, we need to become better people. It's time to change what you see by making necessary shifts in your character.  Check out this message now!

In week two of the Mind Shift series, Pastor Erwin McManus highlighted the importance of pursuing our personal callings in the midst of relational tension.  As Jesus shared a confronting message with a crowd in the book of John, many people left. Jesus then turned to his disciples and asked if they wanted to leave him too.  Jesus personally understood the reality of shifting relational dynamics when stepping into his intention.  Pastor Erwin emphasized that if people walked away from Jesus when he was walking in his purpose, why do we think we won't lose people along the way. And though we will lose people, we were reminded that we become a magnet for everyone that's supposed to find us when we step into our intention. If you're ready to fearlessly embrace the life God has for you, check out this message!

Pastor Erwin McManus kicked off his new series Mind Shift with an incredible message on the power of our thinking to transform our lives.   As referenced in Proverbs 23, the way we think defines who we are and who we will become.   When we enter into a relationship with Jesus, our spirit is transformed. But we must do the necessary work to transform our lives by thinking differently.   The same way negative thinking sets us up for failure, aligning our thinking with Jesus' intention for us sets us up for success.   Every time you make a mind shift to match the mind of Christ, you become a reflection of who God created you to become.   Are you ready for a Mind Shift?

Pastor Erwin McManus shared a brand new message on the power of embracing the life Jesus died to give us. He explained that a singularity is a future point in time when unforeseeable changes happen in human civilization due to technological growth. Based on Ephesians chapter 2, Pastor Erwin shared that the moment you give your life to Jesus — you become a singularity. As God brings your soul from death to life, he positions you in a limitless eternal reality. In this new reality, God has given you everything you need to live out the purpose He's given you. If you're ready to step out of lack and defeat and embrace the limitless life God has for you, check out this message!

Do you ever feel as if your future is already written? In this beautiful message from Mosaic Conference 2018, Pastor Erwin McManus reveals how all of us are co-authors of the future. The future is not a concrete reality, but history that is ready to be created. Out of 1 Corinthians 2, Pastor Erwin explains that we can have access to the story God is telling because we have the Spirit of God inside of us. In our connection to God, we are able to create history the way God intended: a history filled with hope, joy and imagination. God gives us access to the eternal story he is writing into history in the present moment. Though we can feel limited by our circumstances, we are not trapped in time and space. We have access to the mind of God, who is eternal. Our lives are meant to be a portal between the present moment and the beautiful story that God is telling through us. If you need a new perspective that brings hope to your view of the future, this message is for you!

In a powerful, thought-provoking message from Mosaic Conference in 2018, Pastor Erwin McManus casts vision for the future of humanity. Based on Ezekiel 36, he highlights the promise God has for us as we take on the future: that our hearts of stone will be replaced with hearts of flesh. Pastor Erwin highlights that though at times he would rather have the heart of Iron Man instead of a heart of flesh, God doesn't want to restore us to be hurt, but to bring us back to our original intent as humans, created with the imagination of God. Because God imagined us into the future, we were made to create the future we dream of as well. In his message, Pastor Erwin states that we create from our essence. This is why it is essential to create from a heart of flesh. When God gives us a new heart, we can create from our original intent-from a heart filled with compassion, empathy and intelligence. If you've been longing to create a future that right now you can only dream of, check out this amazing new message!

In the 4th part of the Beautiful One series, Pastor Erwin McManus emphasizes the power of having a desperate faith. Pulling from Matthew chapter 15, Jesus encounters a Cannanite woman who is rejected and seen as an outcast in that cultural time period. She comes to him begging that he would heal her daughter who is demon possessed -- but his disciples try to send her away. Testing her, Jesus responds with the cultural narrative that was circling her situation, halling her a dog and saying "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." But she remained steadfast in asking Jesus, not letting the all-too-familiar humiliation stop her from asking for her miracle.  Jesus then responds to her humility saying "you have great faith" and heals her daughter. If you are ready to push past the narratives that have kept you from Jesus and desperately seek his movement in your life, don't miss this life-changing episode!

Have you set your past on fire? In this new message pulled from 1 Kings 19, Pastor Erwin McManus challenges us to move toward the life God has designed for us. In 1 Kings 19, Elisha's life is interrupted by Eljiah as he is called to step into a new life away from the comfort of his family and home. As Elisha was plowing his field and living in the comfort of his success, he left everything behind to serve king Elijah. Pastor Erwin reminds us that often our past becomes our anchor when God wants it to become an altar. And though many of us feel as though our past failures are most difficult to move past, we're reminded that it is more difficult to leave success behind when God is calling us forward toward a life of risk . We cannot step into the future God has for us unless we are willing to light a match to it and let God build a new future from the ashes.  As we move with God, we are challenged to give up our plan B and move toward a life that is beyond our imagination.  Are you ready to let go of the past and move into the power of the future God has for you?  This message is inspired by The Last Arrow, Erwin Raphael McManus' book that calls us to save nothing for the next life.

As we return back to the archives on a series on "The Last Arrow". Pastor Erwin McManus emphasizes the importance of making intentional choices in order to create the future one desires. He discusses the concept of decision points and encourages listeners to be mindful of these moments and make choices that align with their values and aspirations. McManus highlights the transformative power of choice and challenges listeners to take ownership of their lives and actively work towards creating a future that aligns with their values and aspirations.

Pastor Erwin McManus shares valuable truths on hearing God's voice in this dynamic continuation of the 33 AD series. Pastor Erwin uses a story of the relationship between a good shepherd and his sheep from the Gospel of John to illustrate how we can silence or amplify the voice of God in our lives. God did not design us to hear him as an external, disembodied voice. God designed us for intimate relationship with him so we would hear him from the internal depths of who we are. Jesus longs for us to trust him and follow his voice just as sheep follow their shepherd, but for us to do this we must be tuned into the frequency of his voice. There is often a battle between different voices in our head. Dark and negative thoughts carry heavier weight than the positive thoughts that would bring us life. Pastor Erwin emphasizes that it is our responsibility to actively choose the voice that leads us toward hope, faith, and beauty. Tune into this message and be encouraged as you learn to hear God's voice and follow it this week!

Pastor Erwin McManus continues our powerful 33 AD series with a new message from the Gospel of John. We often want God to fix our problems before we step into our future, but Pastor Erwin shows us how God desires to heal us as we go. When Jesus encountered a blind man who wanted his sight restored, he spit in the dirt, created mud, and put it on the blind man's eyes. Jesus then commanded him to ‘go wash in the Pool of Siloam, ‘ and the man walked to his healing with the mud on his eyes. The instant he washed in the pool he miraculously gained sight. In every step of his healing, Jesus created meaning where others may have only seen a mess. Are you looking for meaning in your mess? Are you ready to receive the healing Jesus offers? Listen to this incredible message to kick off your week!

Have you ever been caught in your worst moment? This week Pastor Erwin McManus continues our series in the book of John with a fresh understanding of what God sees when we are at our lowest moment. We enter into the story of an adulterous woman who was dragged naked into the public, surrounded and accused by the religious elite of the day. These Pharisees told Jesus that according to the law, the woman should be stoned for her actions. But Jesus changed the conversation entirely. He turned to the Pharisees and said, "Let the one who has never sinned cast the first stone." Then, Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground, effectively drawing a line in the sand. One by one, the Pharisees dropped their stones and walked away. With this one action, Jesus silenced the voice of condemnation in the woman's life. We are not defined by our lowest moments because God is always speaking hope over us. Even at your worst, God sees you at your best. Tune into this incredible message to learn how God draws a line in the sand to show you that he sees a future filled with hope for you!

Do you know Jesus wants to meet you right where you are? Pastor Erwin McManus shares from the Gospel of John, where Jesus encounters a man who has been paralyzed for 38 years. The man was waiting to be carried into the pool of Bethesda after the waters were stirred to receive the miracle of healing he desperately wanted. Jesus sees his desperation and first asks the man a simple question: “Do you want to get well?” The paralyzed man replies by explaining that he needs to get in the water first to be healed. The paralytic man was standing in front of the God who had the ability to heal him in a moment. But he was convinced that the pool had the power to work a miracle for him instead. The paralytic man thought he had to get ‘there' when Jesus wanted to meet him ‘here.' This message is a powerful reminder that God came to meet us right where we are, without religious structures or hurdles to get to Him. What have you convinced yourself that you need to do before you can come to Jesus and be transformed? Tune into this message and experience the power of a God who broke down every barrier to get to you.

Pastor Erwin McManus delivers a compelling new message on God's love for the outsider. In the Gospel of John, Jesus interacted with a Samaritan woman at a well and asked her for a drink of water. This was a noteworthy conversation because Samaritans and Jews did not associate with one another at this time in history. This story is a poignant illustration of how Jesus is willing to subvert the cultural norm to reach the outsider. The woman went to the well at noon by herself, during the hottest time of day, because she was culturally ostracized. That recurring walk to the well was a reminder to her that she was unseen, unloved, and rejected. Through her talk with Jesus, she is reminded that God not only sees her but will go out of his way to connect and be seen with her. If you've been burned by religion and have struggled to see yourself as an ‘insider,' let this message encourage you that God is always fighting for the outsider to know his love.

Pastor Erwin McManus shares a moving message on the importance of questioning everything as we relate to the person of Jesus. In the gospel of John, a religious Pharisee named Nicodemus interacts with Jesus. Nicodemus met with Jesus at night to protect his reputation as a religious expert. Though he had been studying the Torah for years, Nicodemus didn't have a personal relationship with God. Through their conversation, Jesus desired to change Nicodemus' direction, dimension, and intention - and Jesus wants these areas to change in our lives as well! Jesus wants to move our direction toward the kingdom of God. Jesus wants to move us from focusing on what is visible to us now and learn to see into the dimension of the unseen. Jesus wants our intention to be focused on God's will for our lives so we can discover the fullness of life God offers us! When you encounter Jesus, you begin to question everything about the way you live. Are you ready to change your direction, dimension, and intention? This message is for you!

Have you moved past the point of no return? In this compelling message, Pastor Erwin McManus teaches from Joshua chapter 1 and unpacks the journey of Joshua after the death of Moses. God speaks to Joshua and commands him to get moving and promises him that he will give Joshua every piece of land that his feet touch. In this critical moment, Joshua had to step into leadership and move past the point of no return -- past the victories of Moses and into his own land of promise. Often, we believe that people's success is based only on their gifts or talents. But in this message, we are encouraged by Joshua's story that our impact is based on our courage to walk into the territory God has promised us. Tune into this message and be compelled to take steps toward the promises of God in your life.

Have you ever felt like God is hiding from you? In this special Christmas message, Pastor Erwin McManus brings a fresh lens to a familiar Christmas story. Drawing from Matthew 2, Pastor Erwin unpacks the unique narrative of the Magi being the ones to meet Jesus. Even though the Jews were the people who long held the story of God, it was ultimately the Magi who encountered Jesus upon his birth. Pastor Erwin illustrates how this story reveals the character of God. God always sends signs to people who are desperate to find him. No matter your background, your past, how far away you are - God will show up when you seek him out. If you never need God, you won't see the signs. But if you know that you need God, you'll be amazed at how much God reveals himself in your life. If you've been seeking God out, this message is your sign that he is speaking to you!

As we wrap up this series on the Artisan Soul, Pastor Erwin McManus delivers a passionate message on Masterpiece God gave us called life. Throughout Jesus' life, he told parables, metaphors and images to show his disciples that he was going to die. But they could only interpret death in the terms they knew, which were finite. Jesus reminds us that our life is supposed to be a work of art and his canvas is the human spirit. Jesus life was a walking art installation of Life. When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, he said to him I am the life. There's nothing to fear in death. There's nothing to fear in life. The only proof of life after death, is life before death and what we really long for is life before death. This message is inspired by Artisan Soul, Erwin Raphael McManus' book that calls us to reclaim our creative essence as humans.

Have you ever considered that your life is the canvas on which God wants to create? In this week's episode, Pastor Erwin McManus delivers a passionate message on our God-given ability to become God's work of art. When we allow him to paint our souls with the colors of faith, hope, love, and courage -- the possibilities are endless. As creatives, we often become discouraged by the limitations of our contracts, resources, and abilities. But if God himself is hopeful about the possibilities of human life -- His chosen canvas -- how much more must we take advantage of the canvas we've each been entrusted with. Whether we are nurses, teachers, or writers, we have the opportunity to bring an abundance of life through our personal brushstrokes on life's canvas. This message is inspired by Artisan Soul, Erwin Raphael McManus' book that calls us to reclaim our creative essence as humans.

Pastor Erwin McManus delivers a challenging message on the importance of developing our craft. In Ephesians 4, God commands us to be creators and not to settle for consuming or stealing from others. Because we are created by God, we're meant to create and add value to the world around us through the discipline of work. As Christians, many of us have picked up the belief that if we have been called by God to do something, it should come naturally to us. On the contrary, Erwin reminds us that it is up to us to turn our talent into greatness through hard work. If you've been waiting for a moment of magic to transform your talent into greatness, be encouraged that you don't have to wait for magic -- you can start to build the momentum you long for today. This message is inspired by Artisan Soul, Erwin Raphael McManus' book that calls us to reclaim our creative essence as humans.

In this week's episode, Pastor Erwin McManus points out the fascinating way that God inhabits our lives — whether we've already given our lives to Him or not. In a conversation with a self-identified atheist, Erwin was asked how to hear the voice of God. He answered that it's the voice in your head that simply won't leave you alone. And even more, when we've given our lives to God, that voice becomes the continual invitation to an expansive life that is full of imagination. We're compelled to ask ourselves if we are engaging the creative power that God has given us to make the invisible visible. Are we engaging the ideas God keeps reminding us to pursue, or are we living small lives that are filled with fear? If you've been waiting for a green light when it comes to engaging your God-given dreams and imagination, this is it. This message is inspired by Artisan Soul, Erwin Raphael McManus' book that calls us to reclaim our creative essence as humans.

In a thought-provoking message from Pastor Erwin McManus, we discover that each of us are interpreters of life. Based on our unique experiences and beliefs, we translate the world around us. But are we interpreting life according to God's perception--or just our limited perspective? In John chapter 9, we observe that Jesus' disciples were bewildered by the healing of a blind man. They were stuck on the reasoning for his blindness. Had he sinned, or was he dealing with the consequence of his parents' sins? Then, the blind man's community continued to question his healing and if it was truly him that was healed. Pastor Erwin points out that all of the facts were clear: the man was blind before and now he could see. And though the blind man's experience spoke for itself, his healing disrupted everything the onlookers believed about God's ability to heal--and even more, his ability to heal on the Sabbath. If your interpretation of life has always led you to doubt God's nature, this message will encourage you to open your eyes to the miraculous that is working in and around you. This message is inspired by Artisan Soul, Erwin Raphael McManus' book that calls us to reclaim our creative essence as humans.

Is it possible for us to live a life free from shame? In a powerful new message, Pastor Erwin McManus challenges us to pay attention to the voices that inform our internal worlds. Are we led by voices that only remind us of our shame, or are we building a future informed by the freedom of God's voice? In Genesis 3, we lean into the story of Adam and Eve where they decide to disobey God and hide their nakedness from him. Erwin points out that God asks Adam "Who told you that you were naked?" God wanted to get to the bottom of the matter; who informed his decision to run away and hide? If you are ready to invite God's voice to take precedence in your life, this message will provide you with a pathway to turn the volume down on shame and give God the room he has always wanted to speak into you. This message is inspired by Artisan Soul, Erwin Raphael McManus' book that calls us to reclaim our creative essence as humans.

In this beautiful Good Friday message, Pastor Erwin McManus brings a fresh perspective to the power of the cross and the impact it can have on our personal lives.In John chapter 19, the story of Jesus' crucifixion and death is told from the perspective of John-one of Jesus' followers. Similar to Jesus hanging on the cross, Pastor Erwin points out that he is standing in a desert-a place of isolation, danger, and desperation. He says that often when we find ourselves in times of desperation and isolation, peace is the last emotion we decide to access. But John shows us that after Jesus declared "It is finished," he rested his head against the cross.For many of us, the past few years have stolen our peace. We have felt as though we are stuck in a hypothetical desert. But if Jesus could find rest in the midst of the darkest circumstances, surely he can give us the same peace wherever we find ourselves. And though it is tempting to perceive ourselves as victims, Jesus exemplifies what it means to live as a victor-even as he gave up his own life for us.Though Jesus only lived for 33 years, Pastor Erwin highlights that he lived out the fullness of his purpose in those short years. Just as he lived with intention even on the cross, Jesus invites us to live with the same intention. As Pastor Erwin looks over the sunset, he reflects on how a sunset can often look identical to a sunrise. In the same way, we may feel as though we are at the end of our story because of the dire circumstances around us. But just as the cross looked like the end, Jesus showed us that it was the start to a bright future.If you are desperate for peace in the midst of your circumstances, this message will give you the courage you need to reach out for Jesus, follow his lead by giving your life up to him, and choosing victory instead of victimhood.

This week in a follow up of "The Stories We Tell Ourselves," Pastor Erwin McManus navigates the flip side of the negative stories we tell ourselves. Whether you resonate most with the story of the victim, martyr, innocent, or the hero - there is another story you are meant to tell! In 2 Corinthians 1, we learn that God intends to use the moments we have been treated as victims to bring healing to others who have walked through similar situations. We have the ability to turn our pain into purpose as we stop seeing ourselves as the victim and instead embrace the story of the healer. The story of Abraham unfolds in Genesis chapter 2, as God calls him to leave the comfort of his home. Abraham could have embraced the story of the martyr, believing that he was the only one called to sacrifice for a new future. But Pastor Erwin challenges us to follow Abraham's example by embracing the story of a pioneer. Caleb embraced the story of the activist instead of the innocent in Joshua chapter 14. When Joshua offered him an out because of his old age, Caleb chose to embrace the promise of God and lived a life of courage up until the very end of his life. Jesus, the most powerful human in history, took the posture of a servant instead of the hero in John 13. He washed Peter's feet and led with humility when he could have ruled with dominance. If you've recognized the negative story you tend to get stuck in, this message will give you the wisdom you need to turn the script around and instead, live the story of the healer, pioneer, activist, or the servant.

In week three of his Genius of Jesus series, Pastor Erwin McManus brings us an important message that redefines how we value what is good. Despite a cultural focus that focuses on doing what is ‘right' over everything else, Pastor Erwin reminds us that Jesus was not concerned with doing what was most right, but what was most good. Drawing from 1 Kings, Pastor Erwin brings us into a story of two women who were fighting over a child that they both claimed was their own. This story reveals the genius of the good, as Solomon wades through the confusion of one woman's treachery and reaches the heart of the matter. He suggests cutting the baby in half for each mother to have a part; the true mother is revealed as she begs that the child be given to the other woman, ensuring it can stay alive. Pastor Erwin shares that a church culture which is focused on sin, or never doing what is wrong, has missed a crucial point of the scriptures. He shares a lesson learned from personal experience that when he focused less on his bad habits and more on doing good, he ran out of time for the wrong things. He explains that doing good is always based on one's essence and not their performance. If you've been struggling to figure out what the next right thing is for your life, this message will compel you toward the good!

In an important new message from his ‘Genius of Jesus' series, Pastor Erwin McManus compels us to see the purpose of power differently. Based on the principles Jesus presents in Matthew chapter 5, this message unpacks what it means to use power to sacrificially serve those around us. Though human history is filled with examples of power being misused, Pastor Erwin emphasizes that Jesus radically shifted what it meant to live powerfully with his teachings. Jesus empowers us to live a life of service to others and never a life of obligation. When we live a life of intention, determined to live in the power of service to others - there's simply nothing others can take from us that we're not already willing to give away. If you've been wondering how you can take control of your power to fuel your genius, this message is for you!

Have you ever felt like you couldn't find the uniqueness within you? In this insightful message based on his brand new book The Genius of Jesus: The Man Who Changed Everything, Pastor Erwin McManus helps us understand that we all carry a unique genius given to us by God. In Luke chapter 2, Pastor Erwin points out that Jesus showed genius as a young boy. He was asking questions that left the scholars of the day astonished at his insight. Jesus showed signs of genius from a young age in his ability to see to the heart of people and lead them into being fully human again. Pastor Erwin helps us understand that true genius is discovered when we become like children again, led by curiosity without the weight of shame and fear. Our truest selves emerge when we are trusting Jesus like children do. We were made for adventure and discovery. Our relationship with God enables us to unlock the purest form of genius inside of us when we are motivated by curiosity, wonder and a longing for adventure. If you've wondered how to access the genius inside of you, this message will be a roadmap to help you discover it once again.

Have you ever considered that intellect and faith are not at odds with one another? What if God intended to draw us closer to Him through our minds? In this life-changing message from Mosaic Conference in 2019, Pastor Erwin McManus encourages us to lean into the power of intelligence instead of being afraid that it will draw us away from a life of faith. Opening up the scriptures in Genesis, Pastor Erwin proposes that our capacity before the fall of man was infinite. For example, Adam was able to name and remember countless animals that God gave him authority over. Pastor Erwin wonders: Why do we have fantasies of being able to fly and have superpowers? Could it be that these fantasies are a shadow of the life we once lived - a life of incredible capacity? From 2 Corinthians, Pastor Erwin emphasizes the beauty of our relationship with God, that we get to be connected to his thoughts. Our minds are where God wants to speak to us, imagine with us and create a new future through us. In our relationship to God, we have limitless potential. If you've wondered how intellect fits into a life of faith, this message will encourage you to be unafraid in your pursuit of higher thinking.

Has life ever left you feeling like you are stuck in time and space? In his inspiring message from Mosaic Conference in 2019, Pastor Erwin McManus gives us a new understanding of what it means to live from our connection to eternity. He helps us see that we were never meant to live from the material of our old selves because God is constantly regenerating us into the new. Based on Isaiah 55 and Ephesians chapter 1 & 2, Pastor Erwin points out that it wasn't only Jesus that was raised from the dead and seated in eternity with God. In Ephesians 2, it states that we have been raised up with Jesus and seated in eternity as well. This means that though we live in time and space here on earth, we also exist from an eternal position. Just as an artist is meticulous about the material used to create their masterpiece, God places material inside of us that is eternal. We are meant to create a beautiful masterpiece with our lives from our connection to the eternal life Jesus died to give us. We are eternal beings living in time and space. If your life has felt mundane and you are looking for a way to come alive in your present moment, this message is for you.

Have you ever wondered what the role of the Church is in the world today? In this message from Mosaic Conference 2018, Pastor Erwin McManus examines the power of a community that is empowered by God's intention. He helps us see that alone, our lives can be explained - but together, we tell a story that brings an unexplainable beauty to the world. Out of Ephesians 3, Pastor Erwin unpacks the mission God had in mind all along. Together as the Church, we were meant to tell the extraordinary story of God to those around us. Just like fireflies are beautiful on their own but at times can go unnoticed, we are meant to be a community of light that not only shows the way to others but expresses an astonishing beauty along the way. Pastor Erwin encourages us to read the Scriptures through the lens of ‘we' instead of ‘me.' God intended us to dream together instead of in isolation. Our dreams are meant to be connected to others and the wide-reaching story God is telling. If you are ready to step into the beauty of community through the Church, tune into this incredible message!

Do you ever feel as if your future is already written? In this beautiful message from Mosaic Conference 2018, Pastor Erwin McManus reveals how all of us are co-authors of the future. The future is not a concrete reality, but history that is ready to be created. Out of 1 Corinthians 2, Pastor Erwin explains that we can have access to the story God is telling because we have the Spirit of God inside of us. In our connection to God, we are able to create history the way God intended: a history filled with hope, joy and imagination. God gives us access to the eternal story he is writing into history in the present moment. Though we can feel limited by our circumstances, we are not trapped in time and space. We have access to the mind of God, who is eternal. Our lives are meant to be a portal between the present moment and the beautiful story that God is telling through us. If you need a new perspective that brings hope to your view of the future, this message is for you!

In a powerful, thought-provoking message from Mosaic Conference in 2018, Pastor Erwin McManus casts vision for the future of humanity. Based on Ezekiel 36, he highlights the promise God has for us as we take on the future: that our hearts of stone will be replaced with hearts of flesh. Pastor Erwin highlights that though at times he would rather have the heart of Iron Man instead of a heart of flesh, God doesn't want to restore us to be hurt, but to bring us back to our original intent as humans, created with the imagination of God. Because God imagined us into the future, we were made to create the future we dream of as well. In his message, Pastor Erwin states that we create from our essence. This is why it is essential to create from a heart of flesh. When God gives us a new heart, we can create from our original intent-from a heart filled with compassion, empathy and intelligence. If you've been longing to create a future that right now you can only dream of, check out this amazing new message!

Many of us wonder ‘Is prayer really THAT powerful?!' In part three of Pastor Erwin McManus' series ‘Why This Matters,' he helps us grasp the power of connecting with God through prayer. Growing up in El Salvador with a religious background, Pastor Erwin was mostly taught that the power of prayer was found in repetition. In this conversation, he helps us shift our perspective as he shares that the true power in prayer is found in listening to God. Based on the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 18, we learn that prayer connects us to what God wants to do in and through us. Elijah prayed for the rain to stop and it did at his command. Similarly, Pastor Erwin shares about a time when he prayed for the rain to stop for an event he had planned in college. The rain stopped specifically on his college campus and enabled his event to go as planned when many classmates expected it to be canceled. Tune into this incredible message to learn how to connect to God through prayer.

Why is living a life of generosity so important? In part two of his new series, ‘Why This Matters,' Pastor Erwin McManus emphasizes the impact generosity has on our souls, as well as on others around us. From Proverbs 11, he teaches us that generosity helps posture our hearts. It helps us to be open to what God wants to pour into our lives and how to hold loose what is already ours, so what we own doesn't own us. Pastor Erwin shares a beautiful story of God providing an essential gift for him and his wife, Kim, exactly when they needed it. He reminds us that though the ‘prosperity gospel' is misguided, God truly wants our lives to prosper. As we are generous, we are refreshed, healed, and restored. Tune into this powerful message to learn how to make an incredible impact through generosity.

Have you ever wondered why the church matters? In the first message of his new series, ‘Why This Matters,' Pastor Erwin McManus explains why the church is essential to humanity. Through Ephesians 3:10-20, he challenges us to rethink the way we view the role and meaning of the church. Just like olympians challenge themselves to be the best in the world at their craft, Pastor Erwin challenges us to become the best version of ourselves. The church is the fingerprint of God and our lives are his creative canvas. As the church moves together, the wisdom of God is revealed. As we fill in the spaces of each other's weaknesses and contribute our own strengths, we become better together. Pastor Erwin encourages us that the best version of ourselves is found when we gather together. If you need encouragement to step out of isolation and into community, check out this powerful new message.

Pastor Erwin McManus brings a timely message this weekend in response to the unexpected mask mandate from LA county that led to Mosaic's first Live Gathering being postponed. From the book of 1 Corinthians, Pastor Erwin shares with us what it means to live out the apostle Paul's words to ‘become all things to all people.' Followers of Jesus can experience total freedom, even as they adapt their lives to share the message of Christ with others. Through letting go of our ego and surrendering a political stance to take up the mantle of the gospel, Pastor Erwin encourages everyone who follows Jesus to keep their eyes on the fight that matters. This message brings incredible insight into how we all can live in such a way that ‘winning' is not wasted on meaningless battles, but instead is reserved for the most important battle we face – the war for the human heart. This is a message you don't want to miss!

Pastor Erwin McManus brings us a deeply moving message on the power of love. From the streets of Mexico City, he unpacks a passage in Philippians 3:7-9. Pastor Erwin asks us: Is there something in our lives that we love more than everything else? He states that this is how Paul, the author of Philippians, explains the love he's found in God. When we are young, we go from loving things to loving experiences, and then eventually – with maturity – we love relationships. Paralleling the idea that you cannot learn the streets of a city unless you walk them yourself, Pastor Erwin instructs us that we won't get to know God and his love unless we know take time to know Him personally. In Philippians, Paul states two different ways he knows God: cognitively and intimately. Pastor Erwin explains that we will never know a love worth everything until we move from having the knowledge of God to having intimacy with God. This kind of love moves toward a life of sacrifice. The beauty of love is that it is willing to love without guarantee of return. Pastor Erwin emphasizes that this is the love God had called us to live in. If you are searching for God's love and the pathway to truly living, this message is for you!

Have you ever felt stifled by God's instruction? In ‘The Elusive Nature of Freedom,' Pastor Erwin McManus delivers unparalleled insight to help you unwrap the intentions behind God's commands. Pastor Erwin centers his message around Psalm 119:32, where the Psalmist ran with freedom in the direction of God's commands. Pastor Erwin reminds us that a healthy relationship with God results in an ease with following God's commands. Only when we think God is stealing from us do we run away from his instruction in our lives. God's instruction for our lives is meant to lead us to a life filled with freedom. Pastor Erwin gives us a powerful reminder that God's commands don't limit us - they liberate us! When we are focused on pleasing God with our lives, even the opinion of others doesn't have an overwhelming pull on us anymore. We can live on the road to freedom as we move forward within God's instruction. If you've been wanting to embrace freedom in your life and walk on the path God has for you, this message is for you!

In part two of the ‘Self-Mastery' series, Pastor Erwin McManus brings a powerful message on the importance of attaining mastery over our thoughts. From the words of Paul in 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, Pastor Erwin reveals that our minds are the invisible place where our most significant battles take place. He reminds us that seeking mastery over our thoughts is a spiritual act. God designed us to ‘take every thought captive,' so that we would not allow a negative thought to take root in our minds. Every thought that does not call us to more is not a thought that aligns with God's design for us! This message gives you the tools and encouragement you need to help you take control of your mindset. — "Self-Mastery: Mindset" message by Erwin Raphael McManus recorded at Mosaic Studios in Hollywood, CA.

Part one of a new series from Pastor Erwin McManus on the importance of self-mastery. To begin the journey of self-mastery, you must first learn how to take ownership over your life and choices. When we abdicate our responsibility for our choices, we then give away our power to change our future. Out of the context of Genesis 3, Pastor Erwin relates the story of Adam and Eve and how neither took ownership for their actions in the Garden. Pastor Erwin insightfully unpacks the scriptures and the consequences of the fall of humanity away from God’s original intention. Blame was at the root of man’s separation from God, and the beginning of a history of no ownership between humanity and our creator. If you desire to change your life and create a better future for yourself and your family, but don’t know where to begin – this talk is for you! — "Self-Mastery: Ownership" message by Erwin Raphael McManus recorded at Mosaic Studios in Hollywood, CA.

On this special Sunday, we had the honor and privilege of having Pastor Erwin McManus, founder and lead pastor of Mosaic church in Los Angeles, with us. Learn "The Way of the Warrior" in this weeks podcast.

Sometimes we get it in our minds that if we could only get that one major victory, we’d be at peace. Our faith would be on cruise control because we’d need only to look to our spectacular success for comfort. Nothing we’d face could shake us. But even the prophet Elijah ran away and isolated himself after a heroic display. With his latest book of the same title, Pastor Erwin McManus shared the message, “The Way of the Warrior.” He pointed out that our internal battle with anxiety, fear, doubt or any mental illness can be detrimental to our external reality and our fight for peace. Our challenge is to resist the urge to follow the path our negative thought patterns would lead us down. If Elijah's story tells us anything, it's that we're not exempt from experiencing insecurity, even after our wins. Yes, it's possible to struggle with inner peace, but it doesn't have to be a sign of weakness. In our darkest moments, the God of Peace whispers that he will fight the battle for us, we only need to trust him. Once we do, we're free to boldly share the state of our minds in community and get the restoration needed. With that comes hope for a new and much better day ahead.

The warrior fights only through peace, but the warrior is not ready for battle until they’ve come to know peace. This past Sunday, guest Pastor Erwin McManus shared a powerful message on The Way of the Warrior. Jesus comes to speak peace into your soul, to fight the battle only He can win, to give you the peace you’ve always longed for.

Ever see someone so gifted but never end up amounting to much? That's because any skill in life must be honed over time lest you lose it. See, I (Phil Svitek) used to think for the longest time that talent was just a skill-set. And yes, talent is a gift of some kind (no matter whether you believe in God, the universe or genetics). But like all gifts, our talents must be honored and not wasted. That's the difference between those who are successful and those who are not. Successful people exercise their talent and apply it daily. Talent therefore is a journey. That's how we must think of it moving forward. In this lesson, I expand upon this notion and highlight the importance of making sure you never lose your talents and the ways in which you can practice your craft everyday. I'll cite stoicism, as depicted by Ryan Holiday in his book The Obstacle is the Way and Pastor Erwin McManus from Mosaic. Comment below with thoughts, opinions, personal experiences, questions, etc. Full Transcript: https://philsvitek.com/talent-is-not-a-skill-its-a-process/ What It Takes to Be Great by Erwin McManus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BeC2GrSc6I The Obstacle Is the Way: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1591846358/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=philsvitek-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1591846358&linkId=5d4cb59dafd1c07bcce19c4a0973fbbf Apple Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/a-phil-svitek-podcast/id1211417581?mt=2 AfterBuzz Contact Page: http://www.afterbuzztv.com/contact-faq/#toggle-id-18 Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd-Q6qZNFcQ9MJLXMMpSCJcjPAq-5lepX SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/phil-svitek Facebook: http://facebook.com/philippsvitek Google Podcast: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy82ZGIwYWEwL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0Ac7WjgaGaIAmc4nEZJFIY Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/anchor-podcasts/a-phil-svitek-podcast Anchor: https://anchor.fm/phil-svitek Phil's Instagram: http://instagram.com/philsvitek Juliet's Instagram: http://instagram.com/bonjourjuliet Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/philsvitek

In a wide-ranging conversation, Carey talks to author, futurist, film-maker, designer and pastor Erwin McManus about his childhood, how he got over his need for approval, why narcissism is so prevalent in leadership (including how to spot a narcissist)

“What will haunt you until your final breath is who you could have been but never became and what you could have done but never did.” These words from Pastor Erwin McManus are sobering. Will we carry neglected opportunities and untapped potential—arrows we never launched—into the next life? Instead, join us as we learn to pursue our God-given destiny and to shoot every last arrow.
