Summary

Have you ever felt like you couldn’t find the uniqueness within you? In this insightful message based on his brand new book The Genius of Jesus: The Man Who Changed Everything, Pastor Erwin McManus helps us understand that we all carry a unique genius given to us by God.

In Luke chapter 2, Pastor Erwin points out that Jesus showed genius as a young boy. He was asking questions that left the scholars of the day astonished at his insight. Jesus showed signs of genius from a young age in his ability to see to the heart of people and lead them into being fully human again.

Pastor Erwin helps us understand that true genius is discovered when we become like children again, led by curiosity without the weight of shame and fear. Our truest selves emerge when we are trusting Jesus like children do. We were made for adventure and discovery. Our relationship with God enables us to unlock the purest form of genius inside of us when we are motivated by curiosity, wonder and a longing for adventure.

If you’ve wondered how to access the genius inside of you, this message will be a roadmap to help you discover it once again.
