I left Mosaic, but not this podcast.
I live off Hollywood Blvd. and one day stumbled upon Mosaic Church. What happened next fundamentally shook what I thought a church and pastor could be. I found Pastor Erwin’s sermons to be riveting and full of intellectual thought — a rarity for most Christian preachers. I even brought my Atheist friend, who went with me for the duration of his stay in LA and genuinely enjoyed the talks. While I had unpleasant and downright weird experiences with people at Mosaic, and while I eventually left this church because Mosaic got involved in things a church shouldn’t stick its nose into — I can’t deny Pastor Erwin’s messages. It still bothers me how Mosaic and most LA churches keep you at an arm’s distance, unless you’re famous. (In my 1+year at Mosaic I never even got the opportunity to shake hands with Pastor Erwin once. Such a 180 from my Catholic upbringing.) All in all, there’s so many bad things I could say about Mosaic and the way Pastor Erwin operates, but none of them are related to this podcast. I hope these messages find you in bringing you closer to Jesus in a way that is raw, authentic and real.

The folks at...Read full review »

congrats to Erwin on the short blurb on CNN "What is a Christian?" last week. I was watching in quiet disgust for a while, but was glad that the program ended with people who weren't fakers. Thanks to all of you at Mosaic that are direct, and honest, but ultimately stiriving to be...Read full review »
