Rob Bell and Carlton Cuse are now friends. (I wrote a few years ago that I believed RB was the 21st Century’s Billy Graham and I still believe this. CC wrote Lost, one of the best television series on TV – even that last episode.)
I love it when creative people get together. Cuse is considered a pioneer of transmedia storytelling – telling stories using different digital forms. Bell does this too via Nooma. Cuse speaks at Comic Con events. Bell tours college campuses and urban theatres.
And so there’s going to be a TV show – if the way be clear – called Stronger, loosely based on Rob Bell’s life. I can see the tweets now. Very exciting.
This is a feature of the church for the 21st Century: spiritual creatives reaching out to inspire people to talk about their spiritual lives. Yes, there’s a lot of confusing muck out there. But I’m expecting something interesting – and holy – here.
