Rob Bell Drops Life Stars Tour (The Wiltern Theatre Los Angeles)

Rob is master storyteller.

He told stories to a whole bunch of different people in a large historic theatre directly downtown in a giant city.

His "performance" was no different than that of any given preacher in any given town at any given church on any given Sunday save that is was better.

The accompanying media presentation was striking but only the beginning.

Seth and Joey werenʻt there but Troy and Mike were.

The people were young and old.

Many had suffered through cancer, loss, betrayal or addiction.

Those met someone else who had experienced the same.

"Pain has a way of making us honest."

Many of us suffer in our own insulation.

Suffering brings solidarity.

Solidarity relief.

Jesus suffered with.
