This is five minute Friday

Rob Bell who time magazine named Rob on the list of the 100 most influential people in the world

Now Rob has got an incredible story that he's gonna be sharing here in a moment

But he is an author a New York Times best-selling author and a pastor and he was the founder of one of the fastest growing churches in America

Which was called Mars Hill Bible Church

But what's interesting is how rarely is human beings we experience something terrifying that's good

That creates almost like a it's a it's not a fear, but it's like a humbling reverence. You know that feeling when you're like whoa

It humbles you but in a really transcended inspiring and powering sort of way sure and honestly in the modern world

You can live in a you can live in an air conditioned heated microwave

Neon encapsulated world cut off from wonder and awe

I'm sure you've seen this people they climb the ladder they won they have a big salary car and

Yet that electric sense that I am but one small instrument

Isn't there it's like you conquered, but in the process you lost something that's actually the thing you wanted

And so I perhaps what you are seeing is simply

even if it's

Crazy even if it's like you hear that religious person talking you're like okay, that's just nuts

Still perhaps what they're appealing to is somewhere in here is this sense

The great Abraham Joshua Heschel who marched with Martin Luther King he said I didn't ask for success. I asked for wonder

And I think that's what a lot of people are like I did the success thing, but I'd love some wonder

You think that's what everyone wants

At the end of the day

The Japanese have this word a key guy. It's that which gets you up in the morning
