What is Authors@Google? According to Google's website, "The Authors@Google program brings authors of all stripes to Google for informal talks centering on their recently published books. Through the program, we invite authors to our Mountain View headquarters . . . where Googlers are treated to readings of everything from serious literature and political analysis to pioneering science fiction and moving personal memoirs."
On March 5, 2008, Google invited Tim Keller (pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City) to give a lecture about his book, The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism. The video is about 1 hr long (roughly 45 min lecture, 15 min Q&A). I encourage you to take a look!
This is a great example of what being missional is all about: getting outside of our Christian bubbles and engaging with people who don't know Jesus.

I listened to that last night, and Keller really does a great job explaining himself in terms that anyone could understand and that engage with the secular mindset. If I ever write a book, I would be happy to do half as well on my promotion tour as he does!
No joke. I am impressed with his knowledge of apologetics and his willingness to engage those issues. Its really a subject sadly neglected by most pastors, largely because as you can tell from the Q&A, it is difficult to master. A great missional example and apropos to the audience, though as he acknowledges, a philosopher would likely have fared better.
