Ned Flanders & the "Relevant" Bible Study

I was once at a conference where Mark Driscoll encouraged a bunch of boring old pastors to be “relevant” by using their target audience’s slang, dressing like them, etc. As I looked around in the crowd, I couldn’t help but imagine how terribly funny it would be if some of those guys took his advice. I think it would be something like this:

    I can’t access the video either…is there a link we can use for Canada?

    The link above is about the first 30 seconds of the video I linked, plus you can watch the rest of the episode. Apparently posted in mirror image for copyrights evasion, shouldn’t matter though for the gist.

      Eck, blah blah ahem…. I mean I found the video on youtube, and the first 30 seconds of it are the same as what DF posted.

      Damn – no longer available.

        Well, that’s unfortunate!

        NED FLANDERS: Thank you all for coming. Now let’s start with the words everyone loves to hear — Welcome to Bible Study! Today my readin’ ribbon’s smack dab in the middle of Matthew 23. Now let us download the holy tweet of the lord!

        PRINCIPAL SKINNER’S MOTHER: Stop making this relatable!

        JIMBO JONES: Hey, as a youth, if I don’t hear a computer word every couple sentences, I am out of here!

        NED FLANDERS: Duly noted, but we will make sure not to dilute the sacred gospel.

        [Jimbo starts to leave, so NED desperately shouts after him to come back]: Mousepad…? Double-click? Skype! SKYPE!!

        Then Jimbo comes back, Ned starts reading the verse again interrupted by Homer outside on the slip-n-slide shouting that his bathing suit came off.

    I didn’t find it on youtube, but I found this one – and I really like(d) Chuck Norris – more movies I have to boycott now…
