Rob Bell is my friend.

I will be the first to disagree, push back, and argue with Rob over some of his theological suggestions. But a few years ago he took me under his wing and mentored me back to health when some of my more "doctrinally correct" brothers shunned me. For this reason, I will continue to love him as a brother in Christ.

I will aggressively intercede for Rob, Kristen, Trace, Preston, and their baby daughter, Violet.

And I will not forget the things that he personally taught me, especially about grace and forgiveness in a world of judgment and venom.
