In this episode of the Mind Shift Podcast, Aaron and Erwin McManus sit down in London to explore what it means to start over, especially in a post-pandemic world where anxiety, purposelessness, and doubt are widespread. Erwin shares the origin story of Mosaic—a church launched in a nightclub designed to welcome atheists, agnostics, and believers alike—and how creating a space where people could belong before they believed became a radical act of inclusion. The conversation dives deep into mental health, personal trauma, and the healing power of community, emphasizing that true transformation must begin from within. They discuss the balance between faith and action, the dangers of waiting for permission to do good, and the importance of proactivity in living out one’s purpose. Creativity and spirituality are woven together as vital expressions of human potential, and Erwin challenges the notion that religious institutions should separate the two. From overcoming creative blocks and embracing imperfection to the fragile, essential work of building authentic community, the episode offers a vision of life rooted in self-acceptance, courage, and connection. As the discussion closes, Erwin extends an invitation to join Mosaic London and take the next step—whether in faith, creativity, or becoming part of something bigger than yourself.
