    Erwin is a great messenger and I find his interpretation of the scriptures apropos for what I am going through in my life in the moment.

    A true blessing
    I was introduced to you today on Ed Mylett’s most recent episode. It was such a great message and I started to follow you. I immediately clicked on this episode Self Talk. God places the right people and topics exactly when we need them. I love your honesty and passion. I know you mentioned you were a Maven but this episode you were a Motivator and Healer to me. Thank you. I look forward to diving in to other episodes. Wishing you well during the healing process of your elbow. 🙏💪 God bless.

    Pastor Erwin is wonderful!
    Im a frequent listener and also attend the S. Pasadena location on occasion when im in town! Pastor Erwin has helped me strengthen my faith with Jesus. His teachings through Scripture are relatable and provide a unique perspective on how we should live our lives. I love having it on my phone to listen anytime

    listened to 10 minutes
    I received a book from this guy 10 years ago and never read it. So, i saw this podcast and started listening. after 10 minutes realized this is just another "pastor" preaching a watered down and erroneous gospel that just tickles the listeners ears. he also seems a bit self absorbed.

    Aaron did not know if you had hit a 1,000 reviews yet, so hopefully this gets you over the top. LOL. Appreciate all You, your Dad, your Mom, and Sister do to advance the Kingdom of God. Mosaic and everything attached to it is a blessing. Have a blessed rest of 2023. (Steve Ryan/DP City Church in Hemet, California).

    Amazing content but the audio can be waaaay low.
    Love this podcast and all you’re doing but guys, the audio is way low on some of these. Especially the archived ones. You gotta remaster these or mix them louder or something. It’s cranked all the way up and Erwin’s whispers are tough to hear, even with noise cancellation. Still great stuff though! Keep up the good work!

    Life changing
    I came across this amazing podcast from Brynley and Lukas Joyner not really expecting anything but turns out I could not stop listening to episode after episode. I love the personal stories that go along with each episode making the experience personal and fun while learning new lessons as well. I have come very fond of Erwin's teachings. I enjoy them because they stray away from tradition while still being traditional if that makes sense. Every Monday is a great day because I know a new episode awaits me!
  • MrsGoodFinder
    A brand new you!
    There is so much to these messages; they need to be listened to and thought through multiple times.
  • @Reading.on.Richardson
    Mind the gap
    Such an incredibly powerful message!
  • dreaplascencia
    So close…
    Erwin is a great person and overall I am always able to learn from his sermons. However he speaks half truths and is not always backed up biblically. But I do not hold him on a pedestal because like every person we still are learning.
  • jesusisking888
    Woah
    This guy is real-genuine. Man this was good. He’s anointed. Listening to him was like breathing fresh air. He spoke as matter of fact I could trust what he was saying that he hears from God.

    Freedom to grow in Jesus
    This last message that I listened to was a life changer for me, because it really hit home. I have been struggling with frustration, guilt, failure, acceptance and the idea that I was not good enough and was unable to do better. I tried day after day unmercifully to be what I thought Jesus wanted me to be through what I have learned in “religion”. Always trying to make myself different, be different and be the “good “ person that Jesus wanted me to be, but day after day always missing the mark. Hearing that I can be me, with the personality that God gave me and the attributes that he placed in me so that he can flow through me, has given me a overall sense of freedom and joy. It relieves me of the burden of changing myself and allows me to let Christ flow through me and let me be at peace with who I am through Christ instead of always being upset and disappointed with myself, because I could never seem to fit in and become some of the things I was being told I needed to do and to be a “good Christian”.Thank you for this beautiful, inspiring, Christ centered message and we may we all learn to fly like a falcon as Jesus flows through us!

    Words that bless and enrich the soul
    I rave about Erwin McManus because I was hooked 7 years ago when I read The Artisan Soul. He is a great representation of Jesus and expresses Him so well. These are messages that ignite and make you want to live out your God-given purpose.

    Life challenging
    Thank you for proving a platform for these people to tell their stories. I believe that this can open the door of positive change for all of us who choose to listen.

    Garbage
    Please don't listen to this garbage. This pastor is complicit in abuse.
  • thecornpalaceking
    Careful who you listen to
    Google this guy. There’s a lot of people who have left Mosaic because they wouldn’t address abuse issues. Jesus said be careful who you listen to, and warned us about bad fruit. Use good discernment.

    Mosaic
    Holds to the truth of portions of God’s Word, but not the entirety of scripture.
  • Thestangeorge
    I love this place
    2020 has been a crazy year and I’ve seen it change churches in a way that makes them seem like they’re hopping on a band wagon. Mosaic is different. Mosaic has always been the same and they adapt yes but they have not changed their core values. Thank you for all you all do!

    Food for my spirit
    This podcast feels like someone saying, “YES!” to the season of life I am in right now. I love how mosaic refuses to let Christianity become mindless. And I LOVE the way Erwin thinks. I probably could listen to him all day.
  • Rein🌴
    What exactly is this podcast about?
    Mystery is what I run for and I found it!!! After all that is what make life worth living for. Nothing is guaranteed but learning to live life like the battle ready podcast way is guaranteed. Long story short because I can go on... if you are living a miserable life!; Period. Now, is the prime time to go seek out what everything Mosaic has to offer, and if you are living an awesome awesome life!; get ready to go double that joy, and cherish that sense of fulfillment which is found beyond yourself. I’m not saying it right... what I’m meaning to say is that; I love this podcast. Every episode I tune is teaching me not to tell my story better, but to share my story truthfully. "Because better is in the future but Truth is in the Past.” Okay! I’ll leave this review here for now...

    Always Awesome
    Thank You for bringing messages that relate to life, are applicable, and shine a light on Jesus. Many Blessings to you, Pastor.

    Best preacher ever
    I grew up listening to Erwin with my dad. He is my first podcast preacher that I have listened to and he is still the best. Its amazing how he brings the Bible to life and pulls insight from places I would have never looked.
  • Ashabasha101
    Faithful
    I’ve been following Erwin since I was 19 y/o when someone handed me one of his books, The Barbarian Way. His genuine faith-filled teachings have fueled my love and passion for relationship with God and for all people for almost 15 years (I am near 34 now). So much love and good has been done to so many. All I can say is thank you to Erwin, Kim, his family and all of Mosaic. Looking forward to the next 15 years.

    Not Christianity
    This speaker advertises himself as a Christian pastor, but he is preaching a false gospel of self-actualization and psychobabble. Jesus said “You must be born again. Unless you are born again, you won’t see the Kingdom of God.” By contrast, Erwin is teaching “You must elevate your mind by changing your thought patterns and behaviors.” He then co-opts a verse from Romans to provide a tenuous anchor in scripture. The true gospel instructs individuals to recognize their need for a Savior and to trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross, not to become one’s own savior through empty philosophy. This man is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Following Erwin’s methods may make you feel better about yourself and even improve your immediate circumstances, but that will leave you damned and deceived. Only the blood of Jesus cleanses us of our sin. Receive Him by faith and follow Him instead.

    Essentials
    In the midsts of my painful divorce and emotional turmoil, this message broke me down and brought me to the very bottom of the floor... this was the best thing that is happened to me. The best realization, this is the opportunity, the beginning of the NEW ME... the old broken down me no longer serves me or God... this is the beginning of making things right! Jesus, I thank you to allowing Erwin speak to my soul through this message. 🙏🏻

    I left Mosaic, but not this podcast.
    I live off Hollywood Blvd. and one day stumbled upon Mosaic Church. What happened next fundamentally shook what I thought a church and pastor could be. I found Pastor Erwin’s sermons to be riveting and full of intellectual thought — a rarity for most Christian preachers. I even brought my Atheist friend, who went with me for the duration of his stay in LA and genuinely enjoyed the talks. While I had unpleasant and downright weird experiences with people at Mosaic, and while I eventually left this church because Mosaic got involved in things a church shouldn’t stick its nose into — I can’t deny Pastor Erwin’s messages. It still bothers me how Mosaic and most LA churches keep you at an arm’s distance, unless you’re famous. (In my 1+year at Mosaic I never even got the opportunity to shake hands with Pastor Erwin once. Such a 180 from my Catholic upbringing.) All in all, there’s so many bad things I could say about Mosaic and the way Pastor Erwin operates, but none of them are related to this podcast. I hope these messages find you in bringing you closer to Jesus in a way that is raw, authentic and real.

    Really I have heard Pastor Pastor Erwin McManus’ messages after messages. He is just amazing. Not only is he an excellent communicator, but you can sense his true love and dedication for people, for a better world. He takes the light of the Gospel of Jesus with such passion and truth that time after time it traspases our hearts. I have served in many churches and I did it with all the love for them. But Ps Erwin has a true love to better this world and so many issues that affects us all. He is relentless in in his calling from God. He is amazing. Esperanza Hope Milian

    Words of life
    Living overseas, podcasts are one of the main ways that I receive Truth so I can go out and live it and share it. This is one of my favorite podcasts! Thank you for making these sermons accessible from anywhere in the world!

    True Revelation
    Erwin’s combination of common sense, and simplicity breaking down the word with empassioned delivery is something to behold. He is absolutely my favorite. Our whole family loves him. God has truly gifted this man & he is an amazing disciple
  • KvScoop
    Christian Business Owner
    As a Christian business owner I find this podcast to be exactly what I am looking for. Inspiration yet challenging at the same time to be authentic in both my life and my business. Absolutely loved his series on his book “The Last Arrow”. Wished I lived in LA to attend live but very grateful for the podcast.

    The truth between us?
    Why did you take down the "truth between us series"? I mean, this other stuff Is okay, but that series was so raw and something every "Christian" should be exposed to and hear. Unfortunately this topic seems to be something most churches are afraid to dive into. - Lloyd
  • Backyard_Pete
    Heartbreaking
    It’s heartbreaking to listen to. Claims that it’s Christ-Centered, but it’s all about YOU. Just another self help, human potential gnostic.
  • Mosaic4Ever

    Life changing
    I first heard Erwin McManus speak at my old Church in Melbourne, Australia 9 years ago and it changed my life. For the first time I heard someone who spoke straight to my soul and showed me what a relationship with Jesus really looked like. I’m forever grateful and so will you be by listening to his talks.

    Genuine, authentic
    McManus doesn't try to be something he isn't. This is real, genuine Scripture based teaching with applications for today and tomorrow.
  • McD4444
    Erwin McManus is the real deal
    I'm an atheist. Listening to McManus makes you think that if there is a god, Erwin knows who it is. There is hope and challenge behind his messages.
