   I’ve heard people call Rob Bell the modern-day Billy Graham.

   awesome stuff - thanks for posting it!
   Msg #1 of that Communicating Christ in Contemporary Culture series is an incredible talk - I have given it away to a mess of people and listen to it every few months…..

   Hey eBrian, yeah there was an article out comparing the two a while back, but looks like it’s been archived and inaccessible to the public.

   If anyone knows of any other resources out there, i’d be more than happy to add them to this list.

   Tony, thanks for the tip. with all the goods i’ve got, i’ve yet to have a chance to listen to that one. I’ll definitely be shortly!

   Favorite Rob Bell quote, “Are you smok’in what you’re selling” in reference to Christian Leadership.

   November 20th, 2006 at 2:02 pm

   Hey Marty, that’s definitely one of my all time favorite quotes from Bell. I’ve used it once or twice myself in a message. I think I’ve read Brian McLaren quoting that one too before.

   [...] Video by youthwork.co.uk did an excellent video interview with Rob Bell, asking tough questions on how the church really started, emergent labels, and not becoming Ted Haggard.  Hosted by premier.tv here. [...]

   thanks for all these links– some really great stuff out there! i was wondering if anyone has been able to listen to “mastering the art of living”? i downloaded the huge file, only to be asked for a password to unzip the file…

10. Lon said:
    

    December 17th, 2006 at 9:20 am

    Hey Mike, I haven’t downloaded this one myself… I downloaded it years ago when it was available on the mhbcmi website. i found this link off of some message board.

    i did jot down the password though, try selfdevelop.info

    and Lacey, that’s awesome that you’re going. I can’t make it, so be sure to jot down plenty of notes and post’em! hopefully they do it again and I”ll make my way there.

    Lon,

    Thanks for listing all of this! I’m a big Rob Bell fan and I’m trying to gather a collection of his audio & video resources.

    I missed the Flames of Heaven series at Mars Hill’s website. Is the one you have here the same but all in one file? The one from Mars Hill was at least a 2 part sermon series, of which I only have the first one.

    Thanks!

    -Dan

    December 23rd, 2006 at 10:30 pm

    Hey Dan, the flames of heaven listed here is more of a summary message Bell did at another church.

    It was originally a four-part series actually. I don’t see it available on their website for purchase, I suppose I could email it to you if you’d like..?

    Ryan, thanks for dropping by and letting me know about the broken links. I updated the few of the links, but some of them still look like they’re missing. I’m no media distributor, i only post them as I find them. If you really want them, you should look into purchasing them.

    Lacey, thanks for the sharing! I just downloaded the pdf, i’ll be sure to be buying the book. I’ll be posting your contribution to the page in a moment!

    I have to thank you for putting all of this stuff together in one easy place for all of us to enjoy.

    One question though, is there a way that I can get a bigger pic of the “everything is spiritual” pic you have up there with all the boards together? Have you heard anything on a dvd release date?

    Thanks again.

    Oh by the way i went to the sex god tour thing here at University of Michigan, very cool. Also they showed the new nooma called “YOU” which was very cool. He didn’t talk about his book at all but instead did a simple question and answer for an hour on anything you wanted to ask him. Some very cool questions with some of course fun answers. but if you get a chance it is a very cool event.

25. Lon said:
    

    February 13th, 2007 at 8:44 am

    Matt thanks for dropping by, i just updated the link on the ‘everything is spiritual’ image to point to the original larger/clearer image.

    Hey Bill, I’d love to see the event, but unfortunately i’m up in Canada and doesn’t look like he’ll be making any stops here. I could send you a few if there’s anything specific that you’re looking for but i’d rather just be the linker than a content distributor. Both the noomas and archived messages I bought myself… the sermon’s are only a buck each after all.

26. Brian said:
    

    February 16th, 2007 at 9:56 pm

    Thanks for all the downloads! I put most of them on my iPod and listen to them over and over. Lots of wisdom there! Rob really has a way of making lessons from the bible apply to our lives today.

    The link for “Mastering the Art of Living” does not work. Are there any other ways to get this series???

27. Brian said:
    

    February 16th, 2007 at 10:17 pm

    There’s a good portion of Nooma video “Breathe” on myspace. It isn’t the total film, but does give you a good 10 minutes.

    see here

    P.S. You’ve done great work compiling this information about Rob Bell!

29. Lon said:
    

    February 20th, 2007 at 12:27 pm

    Hey Brian, it should be available for purchase on the website. if not you should be able to request it from them. it’s definitely worth the purchase.

    and thanks for the Breathe link as well.

    Misha, i’ve also included your sexgod youtube clip, thanks!

    i found your site via one of stephen shields posts long ago. i just came across this resource page today. this is extensive! if i find anything else, i’ll be sure to send it to you. thanks for this. most of these i had found, but some are new.

    were you at the ‘isn’t she beautiful’ conference?

    Hey Brad, thanks for checking in. I wish I could’ve made it to the conference, but unfortunately Rob doesn’t seem to swing by Canada often. I’ll make my pilgrimage down there some day…

    March 15th, 2007 at 2:01 am

    Along with everyon else, thanks for your site. It has been mentioned before about “About Mastering the Art of Living”. Was it any good? Can it still be purchased? How as I can’t see it anywhere on MHBC website. I could call but I’m from Australia which makes it awkward.

    Thanks

33. Mark Heard said:
    

    March 15th, 2007 at 6:47 pm

    PS I found the area on Mars Hill for ordering Mastering the Art of Living & have commenced to download the 15 messages. Look forward to listening to them. There are quite a few other messages on MHBC website (not the 12 most recent messages). Can anyone recommend any others that particulalry spoke to them? I know it’s an individual thing.

34. Dan Johnson said:

    Hey, great site. Do you know if you will ever get the audio for the Sex God QandA?

35. Winston Baccus said:
    

    March 20th, 2007 at 11:34 am

    Mark,
    The New Exodus series is a great one to listen to as well. It’s kind of the setup for what they’re doing now with XYZ.

    To All:
    I find that more and more I’m finding ways to apply what Rob is talking about from week to week. I’ll hear something, or have an idea for something for a youth program that relates back to something Rob said in a teaching. I would find it incredibly useful to have transcripts of the sermons to search through. Anyone else with me? Does anyone know of a place to get them currently?

36. Lon said:
    

    March 20th, 2007 at 12:47 pm

    Sorry for the delayed reply.

    Mark - A revolutionary Christmas is also a good series to purchase that I felt was very enlightening.

    Dan - unless someone bootleg’s it, I don’t think there will be an official session available since it is a different Q&A in each stop of the tour.

    Winston - Great idea. I’ve wrote some notes down as I’ve extracted material for my own teaching/learning, but I’ve never seen official transcripts. I can post some notes/quotes of my own up sometime as well.

37. Matt said:
    

    March 22nd, 2007 at 3:18 pm

    Hey,

    I like the idea of transcripts and stuff. But, the real question is where is this Erwin McManus thing from?

38. Winston Baccus said:
    

    March 22nd, 2007 at 7:10 pm

    If we can get a few folks together and rotate, I’d be willing to be part of a transcribing group. Maybe if we had 4-6 people, so that we’d only have to do it every so often. Any takers?

39. Lon said:
    

    March 23rd, 2007 at 1:22 pm

    Hey Matt… I’ve had the McManus clip for years now, I don’t really remember where I got it from now. I think there use to be a similar video of the audio clip on his main site before.

    Winston, i’m up for it, if there are others. how would you want to implement it? a seperate blog? e-group? google docs?

    Lori -

    I know Rob is about to embark on The Gods Aren’t Angry Tour. I seem to recall a sermon series of a similar title. I’ve done a lot of searching online and haven’t been able to find anything. Do you know of or have a series with a similar title? I’d love to listen to the sermon series if I could get my hands on it… Let me know if you can help…

    Thanks!

45. Lon said:
    

    July 29th, 2007 at 8:50 pm

    Hey Sue - You’re right, Rob seems to typically tour with stuff he’s done during his regular sermon series, but I can’t quite pinpoint where this one is from…. might have to wait till the reviews to hear what it’s all about!

    thanks

56. beim said:

    That would be sweet to find that first year of services, but I wonder if the only place would be to actually buy them from Mars Hill…or to find someone that has a secret stash of all the Mars Hill teachings somewhere.

57. parks said:

60. Lon said:
    

    November 29th, 2007 at 6:54 am

    Hey Garth, according to wikipedia:

    Rob Bell is a fan of the Icelandic band Sigur Rós; he used their song Takk in his Everything is Spiritual tour… could that be the one on the dvd?

61. Garth said:
    

    November 29th, 2007 at 11:52 am

    No, I checked, and It’s not. I even asked Rob bell at the God’s aren’t angry tour and he didn’t know, so I think it’s just going to take someone recognizing the song. Thanks though.

    I haven’t everything here but I do think anyone who is into Rob Bell (positive or negative) should have a look at this YouTube link.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wSAEezBc3s

    I personally like a lot of Rob Bell says and own both of his books and have watched a few of the Nooma videos before. But, as we all Christ-followers we stumble. This is an example of one of Rob’s trips. The only problem is that we let pride get in the way and refuse to admit that we were wrong.

66. The Armchair Theologian said:
    

    February 7th, 2008 at 2:34 am

    Rob Bell? I just don’t get it. I’ve never had problems with being relevant, or a pharisee, or whatever the accusation that Brian McLaren, Rob Bell and the like would call me.

    I live in LA, and there’s more than enough trendiness around here. Rob’s got cool clothes, cool videos, and coolness coming out of every pore. I want truth, expository preaching and bible-saturated character. If you put Von Rad in Hollister and give him Starbucks, you don’t get any of those. Rob Bell strikes out.

    I think the music track from the DVD “Everything is Spiritual” is from the band, The Album Leaf. The song is almost a dead ringer for a song of theirs called The Outer Banks but not quite. Does anyone know the exact track? I know that The Album Leaf tours with Sigur rose frequently and that Rob is a fan of both.

70. Garth said:

    does anyone know what song is playing in the trailer for “the gods aren’t angry”?

    http://store.thegodsarentangry.com/?adwords&gclid=CKK3laeo8pMCFR30IgodTFcQWQ#watch

    it’s amazing, and sounds like sigur ros, but i’ve never heard it.
