Rob Bell on preaching

Weekly teaching can be destructive to creativity.

I don't teach something that has not been a part of me for six months to a year. Think about it, if I asked you to talk about your wedding or something else that has changed you, would you really need notes?

What would happen if on Monday morning you sat at your computer and instead of staring at blank screen, you're already looking at ten teachings that could take place and decidiing which one was the most ready to be taught, or most needed to be taught?

Darryl, thanks for the quote. The desire to speak from what "has been a part of [us] for six months to a year" could be applied to many other roles within the Global church as well. Writers, for example?
