Hi, I'm Erwin McManus and this is the Mosaic Podcast. I want to thank you so much for joining

us today and if you're one of our regular listeners, we love the fact that you journey

with us and we pray that every single message inspires you and helps you become the person

that God created you to be. Every single week we send a new message across the world and

everything we do here at Mosaic is made available to everyone in the world for absolutely free.

The reason we can do that is that we have incredible people who give generously and sacrificially

to make this possible and I want to invite you to join us. If you're already a giver,

thank you so much. If this is something you've not yet done, I want to invite you to start

doing that now. Go to mosaic.org slash give and give a one-time gift or even beyond that,

become a recurring giver here at Mosaic. And if you're one of those individuals who God has blessed

an amazing way financially, I want to invite you to become one of our partners here at Mosaic.

What's really beautiful about Mosaic is that our biggest givers, our families who do not live here

in Los Angeles but they are so committed to the message of Jesus going through the world that they

support the work here from Los Angeles to the ends of the earth. And so I want to invite you again,

go to mosaic.org slash give, become a part of our support system, become one of our partners,

and more than anything else, I want you to listen to the message and allow Jesus to speak to you

in a way that will change your life.

So we're beginning a new series today and the series is by no coincidence connected to my new book,

Mind Chefs. It doesn't take a genius to think like one. And over the next several weeks,

we're not going to unwrap everything in this book. But we are going to highlight certain principles

that if you will apply to your life, we'll alter the direction, the trajectory of your life.

And I absolutely guarantee you that if you will apply these principles to your life,
