(). "The strength of Bell’s style as a writer and speaker is his ability to apply big ideas, cultural analogies and personal stories into dynamic illustrations of scriptural principles. It’s this way of delivering his message that has made Bell one of the most exciting leaders in the up-and-coming church, and especially engaging at the evening’s event."

I have been in Chicago for the past few days, visiting some friends and enjoying the city. One of my favorite things about traveling is that I can listen to a bunch of podcasts for which I don't normally have time.
On the drive here I got caught up on the Mars Hill Bible Church podcast (Rob Bell's church). The latest episode is a guest appearance by Donald Miller called "Story" (see below for download links). Miller speaks about God's ability as a storyteller and how our lives are essentially lived stories. He breaks down the components of stories and analyzes what differentiates good stories from bad stories. I was totally engaged during the whole presentation; it was awesome.
From what I understand, Miller's message is a distillation of his forthcoming book which is currently slated for release in May 2008. Sounds like it will be another great book. [UPDATE 02/26/09: According to , the name of his new book is A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, which is "essentially the same subject matter (of Let Story Guide You) but told in a more narrative form," and it has a release date of November 30, 2009.]
You can listen to his message by clicking either of the links below:
If you choose to listen to the podcast, or have heard Miller speak on "Story" already, what are your thoughts? What resonated with you and/or what did you disagree with?

. "Dating between robots can also be difficult. I will often say, 'Please let me watch the local sporting event.' But she will just as often say, 'I want to spend time together!' The metaphor is that male robots and female robots speak different languages. Do you agree?" (warning: adult language, but hilarious nonetheless)

Brandon has resurrected from the dead with his post . "As I study history, I find it hard to say anything that hasn’t already been said. Anything that hasn’t already been ignored. Anything that hasn’t already been exploited to promulgate idiosyncratic, ethnocentric, or schismatic ideas."
