When Pastor McManus shared that his driving factor that he felt that he’s been running from his whole life was “Insignificance” … I felt that 🤯 I’ve never really taken the time to identify what word could sum up that driving factor in my life so perfectly, but that’s exactly it for me as well! I have no idea what my calling is career wise, but I know for a FACT that I’ve always felt insignificant compared to others and every ounce of my being has been focused on figuring out how to feel less insignificant than I always seem to feel.
“Christians can’t be trusted “ as a Christian hit me so hard with relief to hear. I’ve been so frustrated that the believers with Pharisee spirits aren’t talked about enough, aren’t brought to light enough. They have been the reason people fear me specifically (lgbtq)without knowing I’m a safe place, it feels like walking with leprosy. They have deterred me from the church at a young age, God pulled me back. And today they use the Bible to beat those with new rooting, it so vile last week I broke down crying bc I can only imagine how God feels and what he’s seen. What ignorant Christians did to the ancestors of my native friends burns my heart. So it’s true there are Christians that can’t be trusted.
45:19 "I'll never make enough money that Kim can't give away! That girl is a black hole of generosity." LOL!! Aaron about his Mom - Kim! Sounds like that's a phrase they've spoken before. Next level compassion and empathy. So thankful for her influence on you both!
"Everyone around me is landing their plane". Experiencing this now and finding my motivation to want to create more a challenge but determined to raise my ceiling! Thanks for your influence!
37:09 Aaron always asking the questions to get the deets. Bob Weatherly (this is the second time I've heard Erwin speak this name) - thank God for godly men who speak words of truth to our souls. I am grateful for a man I never meant (Bob Weatherly), who helped influence a young Erwin into becoming the man who is shaping so very many, including me. Love you both.
So great you’re both back and doing well ❤️🔥 I am curious is AI wrote the episode notes? Doesn’t seem like you and the description are talking about the same closet 🤔
I pray you live to 120 mr Erwin McManus with peace and tranquility in your mind body and soul, as in heaven here on earth.. you have helped transform Many lives and have many more transformations to whiteness..❤
I was giving Aaron a chance until he said “Christians can’t be trusted.” Wow, on an Erwin MacManus channel. You’re so close Aaron, don’t give up. Try to see everyone as Jesus sees them. What is their background, their age, etc that helped create these opinions. The Church is made up of broken people like the world, but broken people that are learning about Jesus. Did Jesus have reason to distrust and be disappointed sometimes at his 12 chosen apostles and disciples? It seems Aaron is trying too hard to be in control, and not trusting the process and God. I recognize it because that has been me and is still me at times. But I’m not done yet!
So you’re done giving Aaron a chance? Remember, try to see everyone as Jesus sees them. What is their background, their age, etc. that helped create these opinions. Don’t judge Aaron through your own journey. Be for him or against him. But this lukewarm “challenge” / “trying to teach” him is weeeeeirrrrrd energy. It seems you’re trying too hard to be in control of how others journey with Jesus and process emotions.
Nope, but because I have limited time and there are so many other options … I’m sure you get it. He’s so close. I hope he continues to pursue Him and grow.
i would encourage you to explore the context and background leading up to it. I make big statements in the moment and always reserve the right to change my mind. (kind of like youre doing right now) Christian culture can't be trusted. I implore you to dig deeper into the statement, ask questions vs. labeling me definitively. :) also if youre not on the journey with us dont worry about it.
