Amusingly at my office the same joke was made, that it sounded like Shatner reading. Someone else joked that Shatner would have made it more lyrical.

Whenever I see Rick Warren, I can't help but think he looks like Jimmy James from News Radio. Comparing photos, they aren't all that similar, but there is something about their self-amused everyman who rose to power but stayed in touch rings true. Such a persona lacks gravatas, which seems unfortunate in a religious figure. Fortunately the man who gave the benediction had enough gravatas to share, once he hit is groove a few sentences in.

As to his content; I only showed up about halfway through. He was so profoundly forgettable, I couldn't really care.
