Hi, I'm Erwin McManus, this is the Mosaic Podcast. I want to thank you so much for joining us today and if you're one of our regular

listeners we love the fact that you join you with us and we pray that every

single message inspires you and helps you become the person that God created you to be.

Every single week we send a new message across the world

and everything we do here at Mosaic is made available to everyone in the world

for absolutely free.

The reason we can do that is that we have incredible people

who give generously and sacrificed to make this possible and I want to invite you

to join us. If you're a ready giver, thank you so much. If this is something you've not yet done, I want to invite you to start doing that now.

Go to Mosaic.org slash gift and give a one-time gift or even beyond that, become a recurring giver here at Mosaic. And if you're one of those individuals who God has blood that What's really beautiful about Mosaic is that our biggest givers, our families who do not live here in Los Angeles,

but they are so committed to the message of Jesus going to the world that they support the work here

from Los Angeles to the ends of the earth.

And so I want to invite you again, go to Mosaic.org

slash Give, become a part of our support system,

become one of our partners, and more than anything else,

I want you to listen to the message,

allow Jesus to speak to you in a way that will change your life. So every year when I'm doing my last talk before I'm doing my last talk

before I turn a year older I usually pause and I have a conversation about why I follow

Jesus. Today I'm going to do something a little bit different. It's a little more comprehensive in taking a step backwards.

Because when you are on the precipice of turning 66, you realize you don't have that many moments ahead of you that you're

going to get to talk to people about things that really matter to you and so it

matters more.
