a different view
I hadn't watched it until tonight, but this video session with Rob Bell is in a nutshell the teaching that ruined Darla and I. And I mean that in the best way. We are ruined in being satisfied with the idea that just going to the church building is the height of the Christian life. We have been scratching our way into living the gospel today in a raw expression of faith in our little corner of north Tallahassee, Florida. When it happens, in the truest sense, it can't be explained. It's absolutely crazy. It's like a zoo! Hence the name "the real zoo," as a reminder of when we find ourselves in it. We don't have a clue as to what we are doing, but we are compelled to seek it where ever we are and where ever we go.
It is completely worth investing 40 minutes of your life time. There are a few more videos linked on the others on the journey page on therealzoo.com which is meant to be a big bucket of resources for those who want to take a swim in the deep pool of life.

Listened to it this morning. I'm really impacted by Bell's description of God's name as the breath we breathe. Helps me to see the reality of God and Jesus and the Kingdom. Thanks for posting this.
Yes the breath of God is amazing. The light really came on for us when he shared that the story of the scriptures is about a God longing to come DOWN to earth and dwell among his people and not about us trying to get up to Him.
This truth is right in the middle of Jesus prayer "your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven." It's everywhere you turn. God is crazy about his people. He really wants to hang out with us. That has huge impacts on how we live out faith today.
