COMPASSION CANADA
... In our opinion, the best child sponsorship ministry out there! Today we attempt to find out if the listeners of The Drew Marshall Show actually give a rip about THE LEAST OF THESE! Will you join with us in making the biggest child sponsorship drive in Canada, a reality? Hundreds of thousands around the world listen to this show... Maybe the least you could do in return is Click on the Compassion banner at the top of this page and agree to be Jesus with skin on for a child that God made... for a child that needs your help NOW, damn it! In the words of Tony Campolo...
"I have three things to tell you today.
#1/ Thousands of kids around the world today, will die because of starvation, malnutrition and neglect.
#2/ None of you actually give a #@%*!
#3/ More of you are concerned with the fact that I said the word #@%* than the fact that today, thousands of children will die because of starvation, malnutrition and neglect!"
Will you please sponsor a child through Compassion Canada?
If not you, then who? If not now, then when?

Dean McGlynn — An Intelligent American
Join us as we speak with an INTELLIGENT AMERICAN, live in the studio, taking your calls on everything from American/Canadian Politics to Hockey... from the recent Bush/Kerry election to Conservative Evangelicalism that brought him back from the depths of defeat! Dean has spent a fair amount of time on both sides of the border over the last 30 years, and as a hockey player agent and a former student of Yale, we figured this guy from Connecticut might just have something to say on the issue of Canada VS U.S.A.
Journey

Dave Moore
Dave was the senior Pastor at one of those American mega churches in Palm Desert, until allegations of misappropriation of funds, sexual misconduct and... well just pick any accusation you can think of, were brought against him. Have a listen as Dave tells his side of the story. While you're at it... think about the devastating effect the Christian rumour-mill has had in your church. Now multiply that by 100 and add a touch of rejection by those whom Dave called friends and colleagues for many years, and you'll begin to grasp a little of what Dave Moore went through.
Talkback, etc.

The USA...
Some people feel that they're the most ignorant, arrogant and abrasive (vocally and fashion wise) people on the planet. And yet others feel that we as Canadians owe them big time when it comes to Canada's pathetic efforts at National Security. What do you like and dislike about The States?
Also... should Prime Minister Paul Martin have guaranteed a "NO HECKLE" environment in the House Of Commons so that President George W. Bush could have addressed them? Or should George have sucked it up and done it anyway? -
If your Pastor/Minister was involved in some act of immorality, should they step down from leadership?
-
Is the Church really racist, gender bias & unsympathetic to those with disabilities?
The major American television networks recently pulled a commercial for the United Church of Christ showing two tough looking bouncers at the door of a church, turning away people of colour, someone in a wheelchair and a gay couple. Do you agree with the networks decision or do you feel this commercial actually reflects some underlying truth about the condition of the Church?

Greg & Karen Paul
Executive Director of the inner city street ministry, "Sanctuary Ministries", Paul is now also the author of "God In The Alley - Being and seeing Jesus in a broken world." According to Eugene Peterson, "Greg tells of whores and crazies, misfits and rejects that sound as if they stepped out from the pages of the Bible."
Talkback, etc.

Do you think that stigmata and apparitions of the face of Jesus and Mary are real?
Would you go to see one? Recently a casino bought A 10 year old partially eaten cheese sandwich for $28,000 USD because it apparently has the image of the Virgin Mary on it. It received 1.6 million hits on eBay before it was sold. After hearing about the sandwich, another guy went public with a fish stick he cooked a year ago that he said shows the likeness of Jesus Christ. He had been keeping it in his freezer.
We also speak with Paul Carden, Executive Director of "The Centres for Apologetics Research" to get his take on these predominately Catholic phenomena. -

President of The Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches
Drew interviews the President of The Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches here in Canada, Terry Cuthbert, in regards to the recently passed by-law stating that their churches are not allowed to have a woman hold the office of Pastor. In other words, women are not to be in positions of responsibility for the overall spiritual direction of the Church. Do you agree with this decision or not? -
What the heck is wrong with our teenagers today?
Why are they doing more and more incredibly stupid things like gluing broken glass to children's playground slides and videoing themselves hurting each other or beating up and urinating on a homeless man? Who should we blame the most for this? The wimpy, gutless and politically correct court system or some of the worst parenting we've seen in the history of mankind? Where's the accountability?

Did you watch the Fifth Estate's special on Benny Hinn?
Don't you think that the Body of Christ should do something about this man? Or should we just stand back and "pray for him" and let the secular media do the accountability job we should be doing?

Dr. James Beverley
Dan Brown's novel "The Da Vinci Code" has sold over 7 million copies and been translated into 40 languages. The book attacks the central teachings of the Gospel and some people feel that "truth" needs to be separated from "fiction." According to Dr. JamesBeverley's latest book, "Disarming The Da Vinci Code", your friends, neighbours and family members are being led astray by Dan Brown's theories. "They are being misled about the true Christ and historic Gospel. The fantasies, mistakes and misinterpretations of The Da Vinci Code are confusing millions of people - and they need to know the truth." Join us as callers and Dr. Beverley rip through the popular but poorly researched, "Da Vinci Code." -
Dr. James Beverley

Your chance to vote on who you think deserves to win "The Greatest Canadian" as seen on CBC. Also, who would you suggest as being, "The Greatest Christian not mentioned in the Bible?" Billy Graham? Martin Luther? Mother Theresa? -
George Bothwell
the 58 year-old Owen Sound farmer who has recently been attending an Amish community church believes that technology will allow central control over people's behaviour, which the Bible apparently warns against. So this is why he's been refusing to allow the Ministry Of Transportation to take a digital picture of himself for his Ontario Driver's License! He believes that biometrics - the use of physical identifiers such as fingerprints, retina scans and face recognition - are specifically cited in the book of Revelation as the work of agents of the devil. Anyone who allows their image to be archived by an outside agency bears "the mark of the beast" and will " drink the wine of the wrath of God" as a result, Bothwell contends. What's your opinion? Is he onto something or just another wack-job?

Rev. George Malkmus
Rev. George Malkmus eliminated his colon cancer and numerous other serious health problems over twenty-five years ago by following biblical principles for a natural diet and healthy lifestyle. He and his wife Rhonda, who also overcame debilitating health problems by adopting this way of life, founded Hallelujah Acres in 1992 to proclaim to people everywhere, "You Don't Have to be Sick!" Rev George believes that Christians shouldn't get sick and that taking medicine is against the will of God. -

Would you consider not ever allowing your child to sleep over at a friend's place?
With the type of world we're living in today, would you consider not ever allowing your child to sleep over at a friend's place? I mean if clergy, teachers, coaches and relatives are abusing our kids, then how do we protect our kids from sexual assaults? -

"Terri's Law"
The Florida Supreme Court ruled against Governer Jeb Bush's "Terri's Law" which he pushed through in order to reinsert a feeding tube into a 40 year old woman who has been in a vegitative state for 14 years. Her husband now has the right to remove the tube again, thus effectively starving her to death.
Do you think the husband has that right? Would you want the feeding tube removed if it was you living in a complete vegetative state for 14 years? -
Wendy and David
Wendy and David take your calls as we continue our discussion about the Christian struggling with same gender attraction. An incredible hour (one of the best we've had) of processing this very complex subject, openly and honestly!

Kevin Donovan
We speak with the Toronto Star's senior investigative reporter, Kevin Donovan, about the recent number of "charity scams" which he has uncovered.

Paul Crouch Jr.
We spoke with TBN's Paul Crouch Jr. about the allegations made against his father concerning a supposed homosexual relationship he is accused of having with a disgruntled ex-employee. Should TBN have paid off the accuser $425,000? Doesn't that just make him look guilty? Should we even be talking about this or is it just more "Christian Gossip"?

Heather Gemmen
“Turn off the light,” Heather sleepily murmured to her husband. When the room went dark, she opened her eyes and peeked out from the covers. The man standing in her bedroom was not Steve. Raped in her own home, Heather's terror went beyond her own safety: Were the kids sleeping soundly in the next bedroom, or did their silence mean something else? Would her husband save her, or would he face the same knife she did? And Heather's agony did not end after the rapist left. Against all odds, she became pregnant as a result of the rape. Would she and her husband remain united as they faced the tyranny of the choice before them? Would they endure the strain of anxiety as they waited for HIV test results and answered strange telephone calls? This gripping true-life story walks readers through Heather's journey from rape to restoration. Startling Beauty is undeniable proof that God can bring blessings out of the worst situations in our lives.

Two-Gether Ministries
Ruth & Simon Clarence seek to enhance & enrich the sexual aspect of Christian marriages through seminars and literature.

Testimony

Rebecca Bruce
Rebecca Bruce has endured more than her fair share of abuse, hurt and pain. Before the age of 16, Rebecca had been sexually abused by family members, friends of the family and complete strangers. On one occasion, she had been gang raped by 4 guys and at 16 she had been drugged, abducted and repeatedly raped yet again! So is it any wonder that all of this finally led her mind to cope through Dissociative Disorder. Listen and find out why suicidal thoughts have subsided and how this follower of Christ can still reach out to a Creator which, some would say, has ignored her totally.
Talkback, etc.

Erika Kubassek
The Toronto Star reported the story of an "anti-gay protestor" who was charged with assaulting Brent Hawkes, a minister who performs same-sex weddings. We spoke with Erika Kubassek from her home in Cambridge, about the apparent message she had received from God, to go to the church and speak out for truth. Erica told us that she went to the front of the church during a point when others were coming forward for a "blessing", then turned around and shouted out that this was against God's Word and was a sin. At this point Erika was approached by Rev. Hawkes who strongly requested that she leave. In doing so, he put his hand on Erika's shoulder to which she responded by pushing away. This caused Rev. Hawkes to apparently fall backwards. Erika was then strong-armed by security out the door and held for Police. Erika also feels that AIDS is God's punishment on the gay community. Rev. Brent Hawkes pursued the charges even after 2 lower court rulings dismissed the charges. Finally a conviction from the Supreme Court of Canada was handed down.
Did Erika go about this the right way? -
Another gutless incident of terrorism has rocked the world, this time in Russia.
Hundreds dead, many of them school children, some shot while running from an exploding building! Drew expresses his anger at this evil Religious sect, yet again connected to Islamic fundamentalists! If the Islamic people won't take care of their own extremists, then maybe George W. should?
As Christians, are we allowed to get angry about these children being held hostage, abused then massacred by these evil religious people? If so, what are we to do with this anger? Who are we to be angry at?

Paul Thomson
Paul Thomson is a "fair dinkum" follower of Christ with a burden to SACRIFICIALLY give financially to the Kingdom work of God. So much so, that he and his wife have passed on the luxurious lifestyle, which they so easily could afford, just so that they could give more to more people. Listen as Paul HUMBLY shares about this very rare gift and then... ask God if you could be giving more. AND NOT JUST SO GOD WILL GIVE YOU MORE MONEY! NO PROSPERITY DOCTRINE HERE!

Ron Seney — President of "The Canadian Fellowship of Christian Peace Officers"
We spoke with Ron Seney, President of The Canadian Fellowship of Christian Peace Officers, about what it might be like for a Christian Officer to be faced with the dilemma of shooting someone knowing that you may indeed kill them. With the recent "take down" of a man in Toronto who held a hostage with a gun to her head, do you think there is any just cause for a Christian to kill? What if that was a Christian cop? Should he have pulled the trigger? And should the police have waited longer than 30 to 40 minutes before putting a bullet in the man's head?

Bruxy Cavey — Teaching Pastor at The Meeting House
Bruxy is an excellent communicator of God's word and the Teaching Pastor at The Meeting House... a church for people who aren't into church! The Meeting House is one of Canada's first attempts at this whole “post modern” church thing… or is it? Some have said that even this church has missed the point.
The number one complaint people have had against the church for years, has been that's it's just completely boring. It's like watching paint dry, it's like watching a cricket game, it's like the sport of curling! Either that or that it seems too phony… almost like they're putting on a Hollywood production of some sort. So why are Bible schools and Seminaries constantly sending out graduates who continue to slaughter the most genuine and most exciting Book in the world?
Testimony

Ellen
Ellen shares with us her struggles with mental illness and subsequent battles with depression, delusions and suicide attempts... one of which left her paralysed and in a wheel-chair. An incredibly painful story which will leave you wondering just how someone can still be filled with hope and joy after being rejected, abused and ignored for so long! According to Ellen, there is a spiritual freedom that comes from deep suffering!

Dumb Church Rules!
We speak with Elizabeth Pelly Waldman, mother of 8 year-old Haley, who suffers from a rare digestive disorder and cannot eat wheat. The family is Catholic and found out that Haley's first Holy Communion was declared invalid by the Roman Catholic Church because she ate a rice wafer which did not contain any wheat, thus violating Catholic doctrine!
Jehovah's Witness members are not allowed to have blood transfusions because the Bible says not to drink blood??? What the...?

"GSUS"
There's a new clothing line called "GSUS" which is getting a fair bit of marketing mileage off the name of Jesus. Drew phones the Brand Manager at their Canadian head office here in Toronto, about the fact that one of their logos actually says "GSUS Sucks!" Should we be offended at this or would we be better to just ignore it and let it go? -
Do you think that churches should have someone on call and available to help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?
Not the pastor and not someone just sitting in the church, but a ministry team using a cell phone, a pager or having the calls forwarded to someone's house!! We get a number of emails from people in hurting situations needing practical help... now! Time and time again, as we phone churches in their area for help, no one is available! Sure it's after hours sometimes... but what exactly is "after hours" when it comes to being the hands and feet of Jesus? Drew phones 6 churches and is willing to offer $100 to the first church which actually has a real live human answer the phone.
