Erwin McManus: The Way of the Warrior

The Way of the Warrior
(Waterbrook, 2019)

WHO: Erwin McManus, founder of MOSAIC, a church movement in California.

HE SAYS: “It is the way of Jesus that is the ancient path to inner peace. His life is the way of the warrior.”

THE BIG IDEA: By taking an honest look at the struggles we face in our inner life—and by employing the principles of a warrior—we can be put on a path to peace.

THE PROGRESSION:
Each of the eight chapters is named for a “code” of the warrior. Chapter 1 explains how the warrior fights only for peace, while Chapter 2 shows how the warrior seeks to become invisible.
Chapter 3 is on how a warrior finds honor in service; Chapter 4 is dedicated to how a warrior gains mastery over their own mind. Chapter 5 delves into how a warrior owns defeat.
Chapter 6 addresses strength, Chapter 7 says the warrior becomes one with all things and Chapter 8 concludes the book by looking at how a warrior stands in their pain.

“The warrior is known for courage, for honor, for integrity. Yet the warrior knows well the struggles that come with fear and self-doubt and even despair. The warrior faces their greatest adversary when they have to face themselves. The warrior knows there are no victories that are not first won within.”

A Heart Satisfied With Jesus Alone

Culture whispers that fulfillment is about getting more, being more, achieving more. But I know the truth—chasing those things will always wear me out and leave me thirsty.

Fresh Start Christian Church: Summer Solution

The church resides in what used to be a YMCA building complete with a gym, a kitchen and playground equipment, making it the perfect place to hold Summer Break.

The Trend of Personal Authority

The rise of the nones is about the rejection of church attendance and denominational affiliations, not personal spiritual practices. But those practices, and whatever beliefs may accompany them, are highly individualized.
