Erwin McManus Quotes

I have an incredible confidence in the resilience of the human spirit and the creative ability of the Holy Spirit. So, if you can get people asking the right questions, it really will start moving in the right direction Picture Quote #1

The word ‘entertain’ means to hold someone’s attention, and what we want is a faith that is vibrant and alive and beautiful and real Picture Quote #1

When we stop believing the world can become a better place, when we stop caring about the lives and conditions of others, we lose a part of ourselves Picture Quote #1

I think we’ve overstated that God is the God who wants us to obey. Obedience is not the end game. Obedience is only our calling so that we can step into our freedom Picture Quote #1

If you come at the Bible as if it’s a document of encyclopedic information, you’ve pretty much killed any kind of life change in a seeker and unbeliever Picture Quote #1

Our job is not to change people; our job is to connect people to Jesus, and it’s Jesus’ job to change people Picture Quote #1

I have so much confidence in the reality of Jesus that I feel no pressure to try to make people act or be a certain way. I’m banking everything on the fact that God actually changes people Picture Quote #1

For Christians, they need to access the power of Jesus and not look at Christianity as a religion. It is our Lord Jesus that makes you change, and Christians need to actualize it and put it into practice Picture Quote #1

We need to understand that Christianity is about changing; it is not about a religion Picture Quote #1

We are constantly learning and growing and changing. We are really an experiment. We are endeavoring to discover if a community of faith can exist purely for the good of others Picture Quote #1

The epicenter of creativity and imagination should be the Church, reflecting the character and glory of God Picture Quote #1

You can plant a church and grow a church. That’s not that hard to do, but it’s harder to be a viable source of transformation in a city or your time or space Picture Quote #1

One trend I see is the rejection of growth for self-discovery and the pursuit of authentic community. So we keep whittling our spiritual community to a smaller and smaller and more exclusive inner circle. The problem is if the diagnoses are wrong, so will be the cure Picture Quote #1

God has leveraged the human spirit to move in His direction, and all the material we need to bring a person to the realization that they were created by God actually already exists inside that person Picture Quote #1

It is the creative and enterprising spirit of people that is indispensable. Everything else is supplemental Picture Quote #1

I think the exploration and the search for who Jesus is, and that 2,000 years later we’re still trying to figure out who He was, and did He really rise from the dead... And I think for me, the answer is ‘yes,’ and that’s why we’re talking about Him today Picture Quote #1

The church must acclimate to a changing world, or she will destine herself to irrelevance or even extinction. ...One of those dramatic changes in our environment is the shift from words to images. To do church in a way that is entirely text driven is the kiss of death Picture Quote #1

Gratitude changes your perspective about life. You see the future, experience the present, and remember the past in a dramatically different way Picture Quote #1

We’re a part of the insurrection, trying to turn Christianity upside down. We’re an experimental church: God’s research and development arm Picture Quote #1

So much of what comes out of the faith community seems so dour and somber, and we want to say, ‘Hey, we’re real people. You can be a person of faith and really enjoy life and laugh.’ Picture Quote #1

I had someone a month ago tell me at a campaign lunch that you can’t be a Christian and a Democrat. I think that that view is dissipating very, very fast Picture Quote #1

There are few things more powerful than a life lived with passionate clarity Picture Quote #1

It’s not your freedom to choose that makes you free. It’s what you choose in that freedom that makes you free Picture Quote #1

Wherever and whenever God is moving in a new and fresh way, there emerges a new song! Picture Quote #1

From the beginning, our community has been focused on people outside of Christianity. But that emphasis means that a lot of hard work is represented in every person who is baptized Picture Quote #1

A person God himself deems as wise is one who not only hears His voice, but immediately begins to act upon His instruction Picture Quote #1

There is something powerful about singing to God as an act of worship, but it is time to reframe our perspective and our language to genuinely encompass all of life as worship Picture Quote #1

One of the things you’ll discover... as you listen to your own soul is that you spend a great amount of your life trying to bring meaning to your own life. And, by the way, most people are not going to church, so the place they’re actually trying to find meaning in their life is at work Picture Quote #1

You have a generation that is saying we are tapping out of religion in many ways. But what they are not saying is that we are tapping out of a serious search for meaning in life Picture Quote #1

How many people just get up on Monday and do the same thing they’ve done every single Monday - go to work and just turn on route automatic and no longer have any meaning in their life? Picture Quote #1
