    False starts. How many of us are trapped by our past? Failures, shortfalls, bad choices, we have allowed life to happen to us. I pray that these messages will encourage you as they have encouraged me to look to God. It is only by turning to Him that the failures of the past can be used to build the today and tomorrow that He has created us for. If we do not serve the unique purpose that He created us to serve we are robbing humanity of that expression of Gods love.

    hi, i enjoy very much listening to your podcasts, i enjoy also the books erwin has written, find them very thought provoking. for quite a long time i have been satisfied by “doing” the ministry i have been involved in, but since reading Unstoppable force, and beginning to get through wide awake i have had to stop and think, am i part of the “movement” or am i missing the mark. i am grateful that men like erwin and eric bryant are around to provoke us and encourage us to assess the call on our lives and where are we in following that call. What am i doing? and why?

    I have been keeping up with Mosaic podcasts every week for over a year. God speaks to me significantly through this ministry which has produced in me a desire to “communicate to him that teaches in all good things”. I have been praying for Mosaic and trust God’s grace will enable me to fully “communicate” in every Biblical sense of the word.

    I’m wondering about something said during the Message “Create”… I’m not thinking Solomon was wrong so much as he was trying to teach us that apart from God everything else is meaningless… I mean, Solomon was granted wisdom from God because he asked for that rather than riches, so I have a hard time believing that God would inspire him to write so extensively something that was wrong.

    Thank you for all you guys do. Several of the people from my church love listening to your messages.

    Listening to “ENJOY” for the third time so that it seeps into my soul. All the messages “speak” to me but this one it seems especially so.

    Help! … I can’t remember the title of my favorite Mosaic podcast!

    Does anyone remember the message from a guy who gave his cash card and pin number, and his bible to a stranger? (after a conversation in starbucks)

    THAT was a gut wrenching + brilliant message. Authenticity is priceless.

    Who was is? What was it called?

    Anyone??? Thanks,

    That message would have been from Hank Fortener. I’ll forward him your question about the title of his message!

    Mosaic is part of my heartbeat, even though I don’t live in L.A. (L.A. is also part of my hearbeat, even though God has landed me elsewhere). Just wanted to say thanks for the podcasts. Thanks for being raw and honest and open and for sharing and inspiring/igniting and really proving to me that I am not alone!

    I pray for you guys. I would love to meet some of you at some point and hug you (if that wouldn’t creep you out). Merry Christmas!!

    Thank you.

    Thank you all podcast team. For my 40th birthday I had my family over and played “enjoy” on podcast to our TV set. I asked everybody to watch it as a gift to me! And my husband’s special gift to me were Erwin’s wide awake book and couple of his short films. Thank you all for this wonderful ministry to reach out those of us who are far yet so close to you.

    How can I view archived videos? I am reading the Wide Awake book and watching the sermons along with each chapter. It has been an amazing experience. I was able to view “Discover” but before I could view “Adapt” it was taken down off the server. I just finished “Expect”. Is there a site I can view Adapt or the Hank Fortener message above? I love this ministry and want to view more past episodes I know could impact my life, yet iTunes and YouTube and the other sites only have a handful of archived sermons. Thanks.

    Finally a church daring to be different in a way that will actually reach western culture. Thankyou for showing that you can think and still be a Christian. Your message on prayer was amazing, as was your apologetic message (no, not apologising) on “Is Jesus the only way?”. Much respect from Australia.

    Erwin, I saw you today at LIFE TODAY, you touched my heart I want to live a less narcissist life more for others less of me fullfilling their dreams, you are AWESOME I am sharing with my friends about your revelations. May GOD uses in a divine way we need more people that can teach us to live our lives in sacrifice for others then we will be feel much more a live and happy.

    I woke up this morning straight after a dream in which I had somehow wandered into a Mosaic meeting/service. Everyone was writing on these stones but I didn’t have one… and I was sad. Then, Erwin appeared beside me and gave me my own stone to write on. He said he felt he should hug me. And as he did, he told me I was beautiful and loved. And I wept. He wept with me. I woke up and realized how much I long for that kind of unconditional love, and fatherly acceptance, and to feel that sort of peace that only a father can give. I have missed out on that fatherly acceptance. And belonging. I want to belong truly and feel it and not forget.

    I saw that the latest podcast (Pause: Week 3) had downloaded and so I started listening… you know what? I really long for someone to commit to me. I long to be loved knowing that there is nothing I can do to stop that love from being there. I want to feel that someone is proud of me and loves me and does not think I am weird for wanting to follow Jesus as crazily as I try to. I long to feel connected. I have a family, and yet I’m an ophan.

    Would you pray for me?

    I appreciate you guys so much. I can’t even say it properly…

    I could really use prayer for freedom from fear, for healing, for courage and the ability to really understand His love for me and what that means. And for faith to walk out my dreams with God and trust that He is God and good and love no matter what happens and that that is enough.

    erwin,i was recently enlightened by your books,i have lost everything in my life through substance abuse,i kept trying to fill a void with anything that would numb my pain no matter what i did i was still left hollow and alone.i read “the barbarian way” and then “soul cravings”now i am reading “chasing daylight” it wasnt till after soul cravings that i realized what i was lacking in my life,my soul was empty and with your inspiration and knowledge you opened the door to the chance for me to walk with christ and for that i am eternally gratefull.i am clean and sober for over three months and jesus has lifted all thoughts and feelings of using and i am slowly picking up the shattered pieces of my brocken life,i never was one to conform too religeon even as a boy growing up in scotland,allthough i was raised in a catholic family i was always against the commitment of god,thanks to you and the church of sandhurst in south carolina i have given my mind body and soul to seeking out what god wants of me,ther must be some reason he did not leave me to die cold and alone.if you have any other words of inspiration i would be more than gratefull,allthough i have christ in my heart my heart is still void of the love i once shared with my wife,she loved me unconditionally as an addict and now that i am starting a new life in christ it seems that she has no love left in her heart for me.i know tht you dont have all the answers but if you have any words of encouragement i would love to here them..sincerely.walking with christ..Liam

    I have a question for Pastor Erwin and for anyone else who would like to respond. First let me say I just finished reading “Soul Cravings” and it was great. For so many years I’ve been trying to prove Jesus is real through apologetics like by reading books by Lee Strobel but no matter how much knowledge I tried to gather to prove it to me I still wasn’t satisfied.

    There were still questions that I know that could never be answered in this life that plaqed me and caused me to still not trust in Jesus.

    “Soul Cravings” is helping understand that all the proof I may need is that my Soul cravs. So what I need to look for is the God that will feed my craving and that God appears to be Jesus at this point.

    Just got done listening to a sermon by Pastor Erwin where he talked about communicating and listening to God. One of the ways to listen to God is to read the Bible. I have a little problem with this because I don’t believe at this point that the Bible is the inspired word of God. I use to claim that I did but honestly I can say now that I don’t.

    There are certain scriptures in the Bible I have a very hard time wrapping my mind around and believing, my soul doesn’t really seem to connect either. However, there are other scriptures like the gospels and the things that Jesus said and did and scripture like 1 Cor 13 (love chapter) that my soul delights in and wants to believe in or rather believes is true.

    So where do I go from here? How should someone like me approach the Bible? I don’t want to be someone who picks and chooses what he wants in the Bible to suit my beliefs, however I can’t say with confidence that the whole Bible is God’s inspired word.

    Maybe I just read the Bible and when my soul is fed it’s fed, when it’s not it’s not. What do you think?

    I think a good way to end service at mosaic would be to play or perform the song broken by lifehouse. It worked for me lisening to the message and then lisening to lifehouse maybe it will work for you too.

    I just listened to “Opening your world”. This is so true. I have been learning alot about the fallen nature we struggle with. Until we let Christ take our guilt, burdens, shame…, which allows us to reunite with God, we are unable to see past our own world. We are confined to protecting what we have left because the world tells us that we have nothing to offer and no one will accept us if they really know us. That is the fallen world we live in. God is the only one that gives us value because he created us valuable. When we accept His value(base only on Love value not performance value) and then accept that we are valuable, then we can open our world to others and give real value based on Gods value system and not the worlds value system, based on performance. This is what I am growing in right now in my life. It is very exciting.

    I have been listening to Mosaic audio podcasts for a while now and really enjoy the message that is communicated and the thought-provoking topics. However I’ve noticed that there hasnt been an udpated Audio podcast since the first of the series on Soul environments on itunes. Am just wondering are they only appearing on video now and not audio??
