Mosaic - Erwin McManus


In this powerful episode from the archives, we journey through one of the most human and raw moments in Scripture—1 Kings 19—where the prophet Elijah, fresh off a mountaintop victory, finds himself in the depths of despair. We explore the tension between spiritual triumph and emotional exhaustion, between miraculous faith and crushing fear. As Elijah flees for his life, we witness a deeply personal encounter with God—not in fire, wind, or earthquake, but in a gentle whisper. The episode challenges us to reflect on a haunting and transformative question: “What are you doing here?” This message invites us to consider if we’re truly living where God is moving, or simply drifting on the momentum of past moments. It’s a call to slow down, care for our souls, and re-anchor our lives in the presence of God—so we can say with confidence and conviction: I am here. Whether you’re in a chapter 18 mountaintop or a chapter 19 wilderness, this episode is for anyone walking through seasons of doubt, fatigue, or longing for renewed purpose. Let’s make this a year where we walk when God walks, stay when He stays, and never settle for being anywhere He’s not.…
Welcome to Mosaic NYC! 🌍✨ Whether you're joining us from Los Angeles, London, Mexico City, Ecuador, or anywhere in the world, we’re so glad you’re here. There’s something extraordinary about people coming together across cultures and cities, united by the pursuit of something greater—by the pursuit of Jesus. In this message, we’re continuing our series, HUMANS: What It Means to Be Us. It’s a conversation that might seem unexpected in church—you might expect to hear only about God, but the truth is, in the grand story of creation, you are His masterpiece. When God created the universe, His “aha” moment wasn’t the stars or the mountains—it was you. That means who you are, what you long for, and the struggles you face deeply matter to Him. But being human isn’t just about our beauty and potential; it’s also about the ruins—the broken parts of us that we struggle to make sense of. We all carry wounds, regrets, and disappointments. Some of us feel like our lives have fallen into disrepair, like a city or a building left in ruins. Maybe you’ve asked yourself, How did I get here? How did I become this version of me? Or perhaps you've spent years chasing after something—success, love, validation—only to realize that even when you have it, something still feels missing.We talk about our mental health more than ever, yet our language is growing only in describing what’s wrong rather than what makes us whole. Depression, anxiety, stress—these words have become a part of our daily vocabulary, but what about words that describe healing, restoration, and hope? What if the very things that make us feel broken are actually signs that we were made for something more? Pastor Erwin Raphael McManus takes us on a powerful journey of understanding our own fragility, our pursuit of things that often leave us empty, and our deep longing for love. He reminds us that: 🔹 We are fragile. No matter how strong we appear, we are easily wounded, often by the people closest to us. Why do negative emotions stick to us so much more than positive ones? Why does bitterness, anger, or fear stay with us longer than hope or joy? What if our brokenness is pointing us back to God? 🔹 We chase things that don’t satisfy. Whether it’s success, wealth, or even love, we often reach for things, believing they will complete us—only to find ourselves still longing. What happens when we spend a decade pursuing something, only to look back and wonder if it was all for nothing? 🔹 We are intoxicated by love. We all long to be fully seen, fully known, and fully loved. But what if the human version of love—no matter how beautiful—is just a shadow of a greater love we were created for? A love that will never abandon, reject, or disappoint us. A love that Jesus demonstrated on the cross. This message challenges us to look at our lives through a different lens. What if the pain, the longing, the sense that something is missing isn’t a flaw in us, but rather a signpost pointing us back to our Creator? What if Jesus is the one who steps into our ruins and restores us to the life we were always meant to live? If you’ve ever felt broken, lost, or like your life is in ruins, this message is for you. There is hope. There is healing. There is a new beginning waiting for you. 🙏 If this message spoke to you, let us know in the comments.

Mosaic - Erwin McManus


In our first Mosaic Calabasas gathering with Pastor Erwin Raphael McManus, we explore what it means to be human, diving into the deep connection between faith, self-discovery, and our intrinsic longings. While many seek to understand God, what we’re often searching for is an understanding of ourselves—why our lives unfold the way they do and how we navigate the tension between belief and experience. We unpack the idea that faith and human interaction are inseparable; our disconnection from others often mirrors our disconnection from God. At the core of our humanity is a search for meaning, a desire to make sense of our existence and our struggles. Beyond meaning, humans are driven by an insatiable need for progress—the belief that we must keep moving forward, evolving, and becoming better versions of ourselves. Without progress, we drift into despair, feeling stagnant and purposeless. This drive, often misunderstood as ambition for status or success, is actually a reflection of our divine design. We are wired to grow, create, and transform, yet when we measure progress by the wrong standards, we can feel empty despite our achievements. True fulfillment isn’t found in external success but in alignment with who we were created to be. At the heart of it all is our deepest craving—intimacy. We long to be fully seen, known, and loved, yet fear the vulnerability it requires. This paradox shapes much of our human experience, influencing our relationships, anxieties, and sense of belonging. Jesus' message isn’t about earning love but about receiving it freely, breaking the cycle of striving and shame. When we embrace faith, hope, and love as essential to our humanity, we step into the fullness of who we were created to be—designed not just to exist, but to be deeply connected, growing, and truly alive.…

What does it mean to be human? Among the millions of species on Earth, only humans have the ability to question their existence, wrestle with identity, and struggle to live with intention. Unlike animals that instinctively fulfill their roles, we face a unique challenge—we can live outside of our purpose. We are the only species that seeks meaning, longs for more, and feels the weight of the gap between who we are and who we were meant to be. This podcast is an invitation to explore that tension, to ask the hard questions about faith, purpose, and what makes us distinct in creation. Whether faith is the foundation of your life or an idea you occasionally consider, this conversation is for you. Faith is not just a religious construct; it is woven into the fabric of our existence, shaping the way we hope, dream, and create. We’ll explore how faith is not about making us superhuman, but about making us fully human. Through stories, reflections, and deep dives into scripture, we’ll unpack how faith restores our true intention, how hope anchors us in the future, and how our unique ability to imagine and build the world ahead is a reflection of something greater than ourselves. We were not made to simply exist; we were designed to create, to build, and to shape the future. This podcast is about reclaiming the essence of what it means to be human, understanding that we were made in the image of a Creator who calls us to live with purpose. Together, we’ll uncover how to break free from the limitations we place on ourselves and step into a life of intention, courage, and faith. If you’re ready to rediscover what it means to be fully alive, this is the conversation for you.…

In this week's episode form the archives Pastor Erwin explores the idea that Jesus actually makes sense —not because He answers every question, but because He brings clarity to life's complexities. We often believe we already understand life, measuring it by success, wealth, or relationships. Yet, Jesus challenges that perspective, offering a life we don’t even realize we’re missing —one filled with meaning beyond temporary highs. His teachings remind us that life isn't just about existence but about discovering the depth and purpose we were created for. Beyond life, Jesus also makes sense when it comes to love —something we all long for but often struggle to sustain. We chase moments of deep connection, only to find that human love can be unpredictable and fleeting. Jesus reveals a love that isn’t dependent on circumstances , one that is constant and transformative. The same applies to meaning —we assign significance to things like power, money, and fame, only to realize they don’t truly satisfy. Jesus presents a different equation: “What does it profit to gain the whole world but lose yourself?” His words expose our tendency to seek fulfillment in what ultimately leaves us empty. In the end, everything—our ambitions, relationships, and pursuits—only finds its true purpose when Jesus helps us bring the pieces together . He doesn’t call us to abandon our passions but to see them through a different lens, one where we live fully, love deeply, and find meaning beyond ourselves. The search for truth and purpose isn’t over—it’s an ongoing journey of asking, seeking, and discovering that Jesus truly makes sense.…

We humans are designed for risk. When we're risking with intention, we're living our lives for something bigger than ourselves. In Matthew, Jesus describes the kingdom of heaven as like treasure hidden in a field. It comes only when we're willing to risk everything for it. In the Beatitudes, when Jesus says, blessed are, he's actually saying happy are. He actually addresses negative emotions like mourning, sorrow, brokenness. The happiest people in the world embrace their sadness. It is about celebrating life all the time. The happiest people in the world are the ones who have a reason to suffer. The apostles left the Sanhedrin rejoicing, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the name. We are designed for adventure. If you begin to make choices where you're adverse, then you're not happy.…

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.…

Happy new year. 2025 is already the best year of our lives. Let all the belief in this room seep into your soul. God is ready to do something extraordinary in your life. Let's pray together. Jesus says anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate is a thief and a robber. Sheep can hear their shepherd's voice and they follow. This is the singular defining characteristic of someone who belongs to God. Can you develop the ability to hear God's voice? If you're going to learn how to hear God's voice, you need to realize your inner world is voice activated. Have you ever found yourself just talking and talking to yourself? And the people whose lives are healthier are the ones who make sure that the voices that are activated in their soul are ones that make them the best version of themselves. Jesus says there is a thief that wants to steal your life. He activates his voice inside of your soul. The voices that are fighting for you are actually two voices. One voice is calling you to life, and one voice is called you to death. 2025 is the year that you pay attention to the voice, voice of God. When you hear God speaking, you act. Here's small ways. When an action to do good is activated in your heart, just do it. As human beings, our inner worlds are activated by the words we speak externally and internally. In this moment, what you need more than anything else in life is life. If you'll wake up every morning and make this declaration, I am alive, you will speak life into the inner world of your soul.…
What if the beauty of Christmas isn’t found in extravagance but in simplicity? This message invites you to reflect on the story of Jesus’ birth, not as a distant tale, but as a powerful reminder of God’s love meeting us in our brokenness. From childhood memories filled with Santa and magical moments to hearing the Gospel for the first time, we explore how God’s plan unfolds in unexpected ways to bring hope and restoration. Through the lens of shepherds, angels, and a baby born in a manger, we see how God’s glory is revealed in humility. This message challenges us to move beyond religion and rituals and embrace a personal relationship with Jesus. It’s a reminder that God does not seek perfection but chooses to dwell in simple, ordinary places—just as He chose a manger to reveal His glory. If this message spoke to you, consider what it means to invite Jesus into your life. Whether you are searching for peace, purpose, or a fresh start, God’s love is available to you. Take a moment to pray, “Jesus, I give you my life,” and experience the hope that Christmas offers.
