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 be 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 be a part of the

podcast, get to the moussai gap, and get to the channel. And we'll see you there.

So this is the beginning of a series that we're going to dive into together.

We're going to take the content of the last era that took the last year and a half creating, writing, imagining, and

translating for you. And we're gonna walk through together chapter by chapter in

book clubs across the city across the nation across the world

And we're going to join together in these great communities known as crews

And you're going to get to journey with people and here's the thing you can you can experience

a talk a message and it gives me an opportunity that hopefully somehow I might inspire you.

But to be inspired is not always the same thing as to be transformed. What a book does is it allows you to go beyond

inspiration to transformation. It allows you to go beyond feeling enthusiastic about something and actually doing the hard work of becoming something.

So I want to challenge you to take these weeks and invest in yourself. Invest in your life.

And I think it's crazy when people say to me, you know I don't I don't have 20 bucks to

invest in who you are becoming as a human being nothing I tell you can help you because you have to take responsibility for your life.

So we're going to go deep dive over the next several weeks.
