I have watch this like a hundred times. What amazes me is that he doesn't tell you what you should feel. He helps u feel it while taking about it. In context, we just heard an hour plus long sermon and wanted more. This is Rob Bell's gift, what he can do with the Bible. He reignited my passion back when I was in seminary.

Yes! He’s studied the Bible enough to realize that there’s more than one valid perspective. He leaves things between that person and God.

This video helped me. I didn't realize it, but it kept me smiling through my divorce proceedings... Thanks.

To think you were my pastor in Grand Rapids back when you did Saturday Night services at Calvary just prior to starting Mars Hills... It was always a JOY to listen to you back then and even more so today... Always a great message!! Definitely need more JOY in our daily lives!!

30:35 in ... "There are these moments when everything is at peace with the world, even if it isn't ..." so good!

The idea that when we have thoughts of "this is what life is all about" are moments when we are encountering what Jesus meant "eternal life" to be hit me to my core! Thank you for that paradigm!!

Amazing Mr. Bell. Thank you for the Wisdom...and Joy:)

I always come back to this and watch, when I'm feeling down. It ALWAYS lifts my spirit. Thanks Rob Bell x

I saw An Introduction to Joy in Santa Cruz last year, not knowing who Rob Bell is, but being intrigued enough by the event name to dig beyond the short description on the venue website. The event was great, and mind-shifting! I'm so glad I found out about Rob through this, and now I listen to his podcasts, watch past events with him presenting online, and I've read a few of his books. As someone who has a strong interest in both spirituality and theoretical physics, finding smart and articulate voices to bridge the two is a challenge. If you have similar interests, this is one person you should lend an ear to!

That was so damn good, thank you Rob Bell. I think I’m done striving for things just out of reach and will really just let go and be present with the life I’m experiencing now.

Just started learning about Rob and his message of joy and what I'm most impressed with is how average he is. His life isn't any different mine, he's just really working to appreciate every bit of it exactly as it comes. I think that's all we can really ever hope to do. Take every day and appreciate it.

Thank you Rob Bell. You challenge and stretch my thinking and give me glimpses into God's real heart. Thank you thank you thank you. From South Africa

Thank you for giving me freedom to believe what has been inside...

I personally was unable to be consistently joyful until experiencing the absolute gracious love of God in my life very powerfully one day almost 30 years ago. When I humbly asked God to forgive me of my many short comings and failings (which I had MANY He gave me hope, the hope that all the pains and sadnesses and overwhelming evils in our world will one day be taken care of by Him. I believe this b/c Christ Jesus willingly died a horrible, cruel, unjust death in order to redeem me and all of humanity (by giving us all hope that there is a resurrection to life eternal - uncorrupted by evil, sorrow, pain, injustice). It cost Him His very life but He nonetheless endured. He paid the full price of all the shortcomings and failings of all humanity combined - rising from death to life - bringing new life to ALL who believe in Him and His resurrection power. Praise be to Him! Ahhhh -THE JOY THAT BRINGS TO ME!! Thank You LORD Jesus, my Savior! 😀 2 Corinthians 6:10 (being full of sorrow and yet rejoicing). This life as it is now is not all there is. Thank God!! Just as Jesus’ great sacrifice of Himself and resurrection from the dead provides new life for me now it also shows the joy of a future life similar to His resurrection life (I too one day will have a glorified body) - - WOW He forgave me, took my sorrow away, gave me hope now and also for the future. I too can forgive people who hurt me, bring hope and healing to people needing it and show great ❤️ as Jesus has for me. This kind of living produces joy within me. So, I can experience joy now in spite of many horrible and trying circumstances or experiences of life. There is a future hope and resurrection to new life found ONLY in Jesus Christ!! He ALONE IS WORTHY OF ALL THE GLORY AND HONOR AND POWER!! Praise Him!!He is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! AMEN!! 😁

The only truth is that we are hopelessly lost without the redemption through Christ Jesus and Him alone. The joy you speak of is the joy of the Lord. Only through Jesus.

Funny, quick-witted, not afraid to make fun of itself and deceptively deep while being presented with an air of simplicity. Thank you for this, Rob. This is just what we needed in the moment.

Wow, what a brilliant speaker, teacher and communicator! May God continue to bless him with a message to the people to be a light in this world! Thank you Mr. Bell

This was excellent. Thanks Rob!

Well done, Rob and crew! This is SO awesome! Joy has no shame repeating itself. I'll say it again. This is so so SO SOOOO awesome! Well well done! So grateful for this. As a recovering cynic, I needed this. Keep sounding that bass note, my friend. I hear it loud and clear.

I've read all the books, watched most of the Nooma's, seen most of the video-projects, seen/heard lots of interviews, listened to almost all podcast, and through all of this and all the years I've been helped tremendously by much of the content. Love Wins was a gamechanger for me in developing the imagination to think of heaven and hell in different categories than I was handed growing up. Our presence is our truest ministry. Do you bring with you a presence of heaven and light, or one of hell, evil, and flames? Who is making the world a better place-Caesar or Christ? I believe Jesus inspires a new and true way to be human and when we connect to Christ in that way (having that metanoia experience) we wake up to living life from a more joyful experience - realizing all of life is grace - and then we become true peacemakers! We are an announcement to the world that grace and peace is where the life is! Enjoy the journey! (Romans 15:13)
