In this episode of The Mind Shift Podcast, Aaron McManus sits down with McLaren Lewis in a historic London sail loft turned wellness space to talk about McLaren’s extraordinary journey to London. Together they explore what it means to rebuild life and faith in one of the world’s most diverse cities, reflecting on the challenges of cultural adjustment, isolation, and the search for belonging. McLaren shares his experiences growing up amid political instability, navigating the struggles of immigration, and eventually finding purpose through community and faith. The conversation dives into the slow, often complicated process of building a community organization in England—balancing structure with organic growth—and the resilience required to create meaningful connection. McLaren opens up about his battle with depression and a transformative moment of helping a stranger that reignited his hope and deepened his sense of calling. Through reflections on football culture, church life, and shared humanity, Aaron and McLaren highlight how love, hope, and faith can shape a new kind of community rooted in compassion and perseverance, offering a moving reminder of what it means to be part of something larger than yourself.
