I have nothing against Rob Bell. Really!        
But I confess that I have a tendancy to be initially over-critical/skeptical of anyone introduced to me with some hype surrounding them. The most notable instance of this for me being Hybels/Willow. It took me about 10min into the first session of my first leadership summit to repent. That summit ended up being a defining moment in my leadership growth…. and actually directly started a chain of events that ended up with my involvement in iMosaic, ergo Vox, and eating Thai with Alex and Niza in the shade of their front lawn. So yay Hybels!
Enter friends enthusiastically hyping these new nooma dvd’s. I rarely learn from past lessons. My Rob Bell wall was up and stayed in place for many moons. Even as it weakened in my ministry to young adults as we watched a number of the noomas… I tried to remain cool towards the guy… quick to critique.
Then Anne posts about that part of his book where he talks about killing superpastor. That resonates big time with me.
Then I come across this quote of his (don’t really care if it’s original to him) and that seals it…
“My theory of church growth is simple,” said Bell, “People drive a long way to see a fire.”
Forgive me, Rob Bell.
I look forward to what I may learn from you now that my wall is down.
