Hi, I'm Erwin McManus and I want to welcome you to the Mosaic Podcast. I want to also bring

into some exciting things that are happening here. If you go to the Mosaic app, you will

learn about our conference coming up this year, about MSC's new album and their tour across the

country and you can learn how to connect and being more involved in mosaic in so many

different ways and by the way we now have the mosaic YouTube channel and you

go access not only these talks but

other fresh and new materials that are being created specifically for that

channel and so if you want to be connected in a richer and fuller way, not only being part of the

podcast, get to the Mosaic Gap and get to the channel and we'll see you there.

So we met at Mosaic at the Beverly Hills campus about eight years ago.

We've been married one year and one month.

Maybe a month into our marriage, Foundation Sunday occurred and we knew the opportunity to be there to give and so we're driving in the car in San Diego and just casually I brought it up as, hey, we we haven't talked about this but we want to

probably be on the same page and I said I have a number in my head she said I have a

number of my head and I said do you want me to say mine first or she was like

whatever and so I said mine and she had the same number in her hand Do you want me to say mine first? And she was like, whatever.

And so I said mine and she had the same number in our head.

And in my heart, I was like, Jesus had brought us together

for this is just not, you know, the purpose of our marriage,

but one of many.

Giving does something in your soul.

And we're blessed to have a space like Mosaic to give to

that you can actually see quickly, like what's happening with what you're giving.
