# Rob Bell Video Interview, Part 1
Rob Bell Interview, Part 1 from Zach Lind on Vimeo.
Just to clarify, the title of Rob’s latest book that he wrote with Don Golden is Jesus Wants to Save Christians. We discuss it quite a bit in this clip but I’m not sure we actually mentioned the title. Sorry for the confusion.
(Update: Thanks to commenter Victor, here is the link for the water crystal experiment that Rob talks about in the chat.)

Great interview. I enjoyed the image of Rob as a bus driver taking us all into a seedy part of town ;). I also appreciated the book recommendation. It is insightful to hear about his creative process when it comes to teaching or writing.

If you get that link for the water molecule thing you should post it. Thanks

Zach - Thanks for putting this together. It was fun and interesting.
Was Rob in a hospital?
I kept trying to figure out what was going on behind him…

Rob was in a public library somewhere in Grand Rapids. By the way, this is the first segment of three segments. I’m anticipating each segment being roughly 20 minutes.

I was actually outside on our back patio.

Did anyone else notice that in the starting image (before you play the video) Zach looks like Dennis Quaid?

And yes - the book title was mentioned at some point. I really want to read it, and am afraid to read it at the same time (if it has any similar effect on me and my world that Velvet Elvis did . . .)

um… i’m a bit skeptical about that water experiment

read the book… so far everything i’ve read, seen, and heard from Rob is great. and i’ve figured out why i’m into it so much, it’s nothing like what i was raised on. thank God. eye opening and refreshing. ever since velvet elvis i’ve had a new appreciation for the “Hebrew Scriptures.”
thanks Zach.

yo man do you mind if I embed the videos from your blog onto mine?
November 6th, 2008 at 3:46 pm
not at all, steve. sharing is caring. that’s what it’s all about.

zach,
we did a bit more research into
the water experiment and if you
google it, i’m told that most of the
entries deal with whether or not
it’s a hoax…so i’m not using in
the teaching this sunday-not
solid enough. maybe you could
do a pop up at that point in the
interview! haha

Hi … If Zach Lind or Rob Bell see this … could you post a link or a reponse to this question. “What does Rob believe regarding ‘Sola Scriptura?’
Thanks

[...] recently heard him talk about Masaru Emoto and his water crystals in a Mars Hill sermon and in an interview with Jimmy Eat World’s Zach Lind I do have to [...]

I loved most of this interview, but I found it after hearing Rob talk about the water crystals experiment in his last Mars Hill sermon, so I guess he now thinks it credible enough to use in a Sunday teaching. I do think it sounds REALLY suspect and probably won’t stand up to double blind studies. It sounds very similar to the water memory ideas and things like homeopathy.
Anyway I wrote some random thoughts this triggered on my blog. I’m not sure if they even make any sense, but in case anyone is interested
