Mars Hill Bible Church this week hosts a public talk by N.T. Wright, an acclaimed biblical scholar who will consider "The Big Picture: The New Testament and the Mission of God."

In advance of that Wednesday, Nov. 20, event held in conjunction with a Calvin Theological Seminary conference, Mars Hill pastor Kent Dobson met with me to talk about the life of the church founded by Rob Bell. . .

Rob Bell's Successor at Mars Hill Steps Down

Profile: Kent Dobson

LU grad walks away from pastorate bewildered:

"I don't even know if we know what we mean by God anymore."

"I'm not drawn to the orthodox or the mainstream or the status quo. And I think all churches have to have a center. It helps them define who they are, but I'm always wandering out to the edge and beyond."

"being a pastor at a church is not really who I am"

"My hope is that this place will continue to make room for the outsider, the agnostic, the heretic."
