Presentation Series: Rob Bell on presentation

Rob is a great presenter/ teacher.

One of the things that is unique about his ministry is that he is able to focus almost entirely on being a great Bible teacher/preacher. He has an awesome lead pastor at his church who handles the management and day to day needs, so Rob can really focus on teaching.

What I really like about his teaching is that it is content based, creative and full of surprises.

Content: Rob spends a lot of time studying the text from every imaginable angle and really tries to get past what you expect in your head when you hear the passage that is going to be preached.

Creative: Rob is willing to do whatever makes sense to bring the text alive... he is not bound by tradition or by expectations...

Surprises: Rob is the master of leading you one way, then suddenly shifting in such a way that you are caught a little off guard with your defenses down in a good way. This helps keep the message interesting and makes it stick.

A few years ago I had a chance to meet Rob while attending a "study session" that he hosted at Mars Hill. about 80 of us showed up and we spent a few days really looking at the ten commandments and thinking about how we would teach them. It was great fun, and I would say the group effort and collaboration really helped us all...
