Michael Bird Interviewed as Part of Culture Creators Series

Over at Grace for Sinners I was interviewed by Matthew B. Sims as part of his “Culture Creators” series about my life and work habits. Here’s the best part in my view:

MBS: What’s the best cup of coffee you’ve ever had?

MFB: I would rather be tied to a chair, have my eyelids glued open, and be forced to watch Rob Bell Nooma videos for all of eternity than drink a single sip of coffee. I hate coffee like Boehner hates Pelosi. Even if I had to star in a movie with Ann Hathaway, I would refuse to do a kissing scene with her if she had been drinking coffee. If I could I would raze every coffee plantation in the world and then salt the earth to make sure nothing ever grew there again; all in order to rid our planet of the festering odor called “coffee” and to free the enslaved masses from their tyranny to the bean. I end every sermon with the same application, “And let us never forget brethren, that Jesus is not coming back until the last Starbucks is destroyed.” But I do like English breakfast tea and enjoy a nice glass Pinot Noir wine!
