Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

My friend, it's hard for me to do an intro to Rob Bell.

You know when you love someone, you followed their work for so long,

you've had the joy and privilege of connecting with them and you just go, oh, where do I even start with an

intro because there's so much to say? So I thought what I'd just tell you is what Rob has done for me, what I've taken from him.

I have been a fan of the Rob-Cast, the Rob Bell Podcast for years.

I used to walk around New York, especially in the winter when I was doubting myself through

different life transitions and cycles, listening to his wisdom. I almost feel like when I

listened to Rob Bell, I'm more relaxed. I'm more myself and I see the world with a real, a really, really clear perspective. It's like he just brings you right back to the truth.

If you don't know Rob, he is a incredible speaker, New York Times best-selling author.

He's a former pastor, which is why his storytelling is so incredible and unique. I first found out about

him, I believe through the writer Elizabeth Gilbert years ago.

She always talks about her best friend Rob.

So I started following him, consuming his work,

and I've attended his live workshops.

I mean, truly, I cannot speak more highly about Rob Bell.

But what I most want to tell you about about him is this. Rob does life his way. He loves and deeply cares about people, but he is not in this

world trying to prove something. He's had such a fascinating life and career with many twists and turns,

and the lens with which he sees the world is so fresh and unique and inspiring,

and I'm just so happy he's alive and when he said yes to come on and let it be easy

podcast I just knew that this was going to be a really beautiful one and our

conversation is so my friend please enjoy.
