763 A Spiritual Path for Success with Erwin McManus

“WHY” IS NOT AN EVOLUTIONARY QUESTION.
Growing up, I had more imaginary friends than real friends.
I would play games with myself to keep myself happy. I was very lonely.
I felt insecure.
But as I got older, I was able to find meaning and purpose. That allowed me to feel connected to the people around me.
We need to have hope and meaning. It’s what makes us human.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I dive deep into why humans are always searching for a “why:” Erwin McManus.
Erwin is an iconoclast, artist, and cultural thought leader known for his integration of creativity and spirituality. He is the founder and Lead Pastor of Mosaic, a Los Angeles based church of faith recognized as one of America’s most influential and innovative churches.
Erwin says that people who have false hope are actually better off than people who have no hope.
He became the person he is today when stopped using his imagination to hide from the world and started using it to create a better world.
So get ready to learn all about man’s search for meaning on Episode 763.
