It was such a treat to hear Rob Bell, from Mar's Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, last night in our very own community of Logan Square. He was brilliant!
A friend of mine told me yesterday that she thinks there is a dearth of good speakers right now who are interesting to listen to and can speak prophetically to our culture. Rob Bell is speaking to the postmodern generation using meta-narrative (starting with Genesis and making strong personal application), a unique style (he used a gigantic white board to illustrate every point), humor, and unbelievable integration of history, physics, biology, and Hebrew word study. If you get a chance to hear him, don't miss it. Churches using the old school of preaching are going to be left behind if we don't learn to speak this new language.

someone else who speaks this "language" that you may enjoy is Rick McKinley. he has a book called Jesus in the Margins which would probably be of interest. blessings~
