Ed's thinking, "There's got to be a good book idea on that paper somewhere!"

SJ (Steve) Camp:

"Geeze Lord, why do you tell Rick all the good stuff?"

By Big Chris on March 5, 2008 12:45 AM

Rick: And the vote is in!
Ed: So are you going to tell us...today?
Rick: Yep. Sweet tea is preferred 7 to 1 over unsweetened tea in all Southern Baptist Churches.

“Missional means being a missionary without ever leaving your zip code.� Hey, what the … that’s from my book Planting Missional Churches!

By Chris Elrod on March 5, 2008 5:27 AM

And the winner of this year's award for the "Best Use Of Democratic Candidates In A Conference Setting" is...

or how about...

"Hey Ed, look I've got two free tickets to
Wrestlemania 65: Driscoll vs. Hybels...you wanna go?"

or how about no caption and just say...

you guys really do look like brothers. :-)

By Brenna Phillips on March 5, 2008 5:28 AM

Rick Warren asks, "Am I supposed to read this part?"

By Mike Silliman on March 5, 2008 7:47 AM

Ed: You made how much on Purpose Driven Life?

Rick: Ed that's "7" zero's...just for last month alone...Ed, did I tell you that I've paid back every dime that Saddleback has ever paid me. And, I still drive my 1995 Ford Explorer?

By Josh on March 5, 2008 8:13 AM

At this year's Pastoral Facial Hair Conference,Rick Warren outlines the intricate details on connecting the handle bar to the chin strap.

By Shane Kennard on March 5, 2008 8:14 AM

It says here, "Ed and Rick are long lost brothers."

Yeah, take a closer look, you'll see it.

By Jack Brooks on March 5, 2008 8:20 AM

"Dave Hunt doesn't look that good without the goatee, does he?."

By Chris Saulnier on March 5, 2008 8:44 AM

Rick: Senator, I have never taken steroids while preaching.

Ed: What he said!

"look at all the colors on that page man..."

By Billy on March 5, 2008 10:27 AM

At Karaoke night, Rick sings try to sing "Livin on a Prayer." While Ed sits waiting on his turn to sing Nessun dorma! Nessun dorma!

By Phil on March 5, 2008 11:05 AM

Rick: "I'll try the apple pie with a decaf coffee."

Ed: (thinking) "Should I go with the apple or coconut cream?"

:)

Rick: Did you see this deal where you and a guest can escort Scarlett Johansson to her movie premiere? What do you think I should bid?

By Ron Kidd on March 5, 2008 2:11 PM

Rick: "I really don't remember ordering seven boxes of Cheeze-its from room service."

By Nancy on March 5, 2008 2:27 PM

Rick: "Hey Ed, says here that Publix has Cheez-It's on sale this week buy one get one free . . ."

Ed: "Cool!!!"

Rick: "unless your last name is Stetzer or you are from FBC Hendersonville and need 400 boxes."

Ed: "Curses! Foiled again!"

goatees + wavy hair = missional

By David R on March 5, 2008 3:27 PM

Rick to Ed: "the DNA results are in...it's undeniable, we're twins."

By Doug Whitaker on March 5, 2008 4:15 PM

Rick: And that concludes our discussion of why influential church leaders should have goatees.

By Michael on March 5, 2008 4:29 PM

Rick: ----

Ed: Boy, this cardboard cutout of Rick Warren sure is life-like. I'd better take it home with me.

By James Cross on March 5, 2008 10:29 PM

Ed thinks to himself, "How many times do I have to tell Ricky, that is not how you spell Tulip?"

By Shirley on March 5, 2008 11:17 PM

A serious moment:

Ed tells Rick: Yeow man!I “see� what you're saying...
"Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear..." Rev 1:3

Rick responds: That may be, but are you really hearing me?...
"Blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear." Matthew 13:16

By Tom Sterbens on March 5, 2008 11:48 PM

Rick: Ed, according to these latest SBC statistics you are neither the youngest or the thinnest.

By Chris Saulnier on March 6, 2008 6:47 AM

"He ain't heavy, He's hes my brother."

By Todd Rhoades on March 6, 2008 7:52 AM

I LOVE YOU MAN,

By Jaylee on March 6, 2008 5:46 PM

Ed, I was wondering what your thoughts are on a objection I heard against planting missional churches or being missional. The objection goes something like this:

" Being missional is just the church growth movement repackaged. Jesus said he will build his church. Jesus builds the church not man and his clever ideas. The people who are saying that we need to contextualize are not the real church."

By the way I do read your blog and do have your book 'Breaking the Missional Code' and enjoyed it and have learned.

By Jason G. on March 18, 2008 10:29 AM

Warren: "Ed, it says here that you purchased over 1,000 of my books 'the purpose driven life' and failed to pay for them"

Ed: "I thought they were free so I gave them out to try and be Missional".

By Steve on August 28, 2010 8:58 PM

Ed, having spent 10 years under Rick's leadership, I can tell you I know exactly what's going on in this picture.

Eager to take fellowship to new depths, Rick Warren approaches Ed Stetzer with his infamous "holy blowing in the ear" greeting, capable of creating decade-long partnerships among Christians on the Left Coast. However, everyone else thinks it's just creepy, except maybe the French.
