Rick Warren and John Piper Interview

So several years ago a very nice woman in our church gave me a copy of A Purpose Driven Life and encouraged me to read it. She had said that it was life changing. At the time I was really starting to be attracted to "the deeper things" of faith. I was also reading a lot of stuff from the theologians of the time that looked down on Rick Warren and the "mega church" movement. So I graciously accepted the book and then let it sit on my shelf never really cracking the cover. Perhaps it was arrogance that I was beyond anything that a mega church pastor could tell me in his book. Last week I came across a tweet that had a link to an interview between Rick Warren and John Piper. I was intrigued. I had heard of the controversy over Piper inviting Warren to speak at the Desiring God conference and I have HUGE respect for Piper, so I thought I would watch. I have to say that my opinion of Rick Warren was ill informed. In this interview he displays a deepness that I hadn't thought he had. Piper did a great job in the conversation and I think the 1 1/2 hours you would devote to watching (or listening) to this will be well worth it. I may now have to go back and take that book off my shelf and read it.
