Erwin McManus + Aaron McManus
About this episode

In this episode of Mind Shift, Aaron McManus and Erwin Raphael McManus begin by reflecting on the meaning of Good Friday and the power of Jesus’ sacrifice. They invite listeners to join Mosaic’s live gatherings, whether in person or online, emphasizing the significance of community during spiritual moments. The conversation encourages people to stay connected to faith, especially during seasons that call for deeper reflection.


They introduce the Mind Shift membership, a growing online community centered around leadership, entrepreneurship, and personal development. Aaron and Erwin share how members gain access to exclusive episodes, live Q&A sessions, and behind-the-scenes content. They also offer an annual membership perk—a free Battle Ready hat—while highlighting the importance of engaging with like-minded individuals who are committed to growth.


Shifting gears, they explore the public response to Blue Origin’s space mission, which included celebrity passengers and bold marketing. Erwin defends the innovation behind it, pointing out the economic and technological benefits of space exploration. They question why public perception often turns negative when billionaires invest in forward-thinking ventures, and consider how these breakthroughs may reshape everyday life in the future.


The conversation deepens as Aaron and Erwin discuss spiritual warfare, sharing recent personal experiences that hint at unseen forces at work. From strange technical malfunctions to unsettling events near their home, they talk about the importance of staying spiritually aware. Erwin breaks down different types of spiritual sensitivity and emphasizes how leadership often requires discernment that goes beyond the physical world.


They close with thoughts on leadership, family, and community in times of crisis. Erwin reflects on the weight of spiritual leadership, especially when making decisions that impact others. Aaron opens up about the pressures of leading while managing personal challenges, underscoring the need for family support and self-care. Together, they emphasize that resilience, faith, and honest conversation are crucial for navigating the complexities of both life and leadership.
