Anyone who has anything to do with TalkTalk will know exactly what this is like…
I just noticed today that the t-shirt images on the Threadless page have been broken since I moved my site over to WordPress.com (you didn’t even notice the transition did you?). Anyway, I’ve corrected the problem and they’re now working.
I also noticed that I haven’t updated it with my latest batch. Now that’s not a major problem, except that I should have at least notified Bizzy what I spent her voucher on. I’ll try to update it soon…
I’m a big fan of Rob Bell’s teaching – in whatever form it appears.
His Church has recently relaunched their website and as part of it have now added the facility to subscribe to the Podcast of the their weekly teaching.
I remember manually downloading, copying, cataloguing the files in order to listen to them on my way to and from work. I had about 12 weeks to listen to before I could catch-up with the current teaching, but I made it, and am pleased that I did.
Anyway, the reason for telling you all this is to point you in the direction of an excellent video interview on Premier TV in which John Buckeridge (editor of Christianity Magazine) spends about 30 minutes chatting with Rob about Mars Hill Church & mega-churches, the Nooma DVD series, the Velvet Elivis book, researching Jewish traditions, his new book Sex God (sample available).
If you don’t have the time (or technology) to watch the video you can read an excerpt of it over on the Christianity Magazine website.
