Mike Rich — Executive Producer and Screenwriter of the major motion picture The Nativity Story
The Nativity Story became the first feature film ever to premiere at the Vatican. Screenwriter Mike Rich told his agent last November that he would like to write a story that many Christians have seen performed every Christmas Eve, but this time without first-graders playing the wise men. Mike has been one of the most sought after screenwriters in Hollywood since his first-ever writing effort in 1998 with the Sean Connery movie, Finding Forrester.

Gary Chapman
Author of Author of The Five Languages of Apology
Did you know that when it comes to apologizing, people speak different languages? The key to good relationships is learning the apology language of the other person and being willing to speak it. When you speak their primary language, you make it easier for them to genuinely forgive you. When you fail to speak their language, it makes forgiveness more difficult because they are not sure if you are genuinely apologizing! Gary is best known as the author of the New York Times best-selling The Five Love Languages series. He is the director of Marriage and Family Life Consultants, Inc., and travels around the world presenting various seminars. Gary's radio program airs on more than 100 stations. -

Tammy Trent
Recording Artist & Author of Learning To Breath Again
In September 2001, Tammy and her husband spent a few days in Jamaica - part mission trip, part vacation. On September 10th, Trent went diving and never returned. Tammy spent the rest of the day with rescue divers trying to locate her husband with no success. She woke up the next morning in the home of strangers to discover that the whole world had gone mad. As she waited for news of her husband, she watched the news as two planes ploughed into the Twin Towers in New York - later that day she had to identify the body of her husband. No one in her family could get to her as flights were cancelled. She was held captive in Jamaica for ten more days waiting to return to her family. We had Tammy as our guest in 2005 so we thought we would touch base and see how life has been going for Tammy Trent.

Same sex marriage is now here to stay in Canada. Any final thoughts?
Are you upset with Stephen Harper, our "Christian" Prime Minister? For the second time, MPs voted in favour of same-sex marriage in Canada. Prime Minister Stephen Harper says he will respect the vote, adding "we made a promise to have a free vote on this issue, we kept that promise, and obviously the vote was decisive and obviously we'll accept the democratic result of the people's representatives." Harper told reporters "I don't see reopening this question in the future." MPs voted 175-123 against a motion asking whether MPs wanted to see legislation drafted to reinstate the traditional definition of marriage. The House of Commons legalized same-sex marriage in June 2005. Audio not available -

Sadly, if Jesus came in plastic, we just might find Him more to our liking. Suburbia might be a fine place to raise a family, but it's a terrifying and dangerous environment for our spiritual well being.

Edgy and honest, Eric Sandras seeks to empower readers to live life as Christ intended: with a radical sense of purpose that only He can provide.

Spencer Burke — Author of A Heretic's Guide To Eternity
"Christianity needs less religion and more heresy," says this former "Megachurch" pastor, now labeled by many, including himself, as a heretic! "Frankly, I was tired of consuming the resources of the church. I didn't want to just tell people what Jesus said we should do; I wanted to actually go do it with my community." He now lives out his faith with what the Los Angeles Times called "a church with no name"- gathering in a small group wherever the spirit moves them: in his home, garage, at a picnic in the park, or at an art gallery. "People have accused me over the years of not paying enough attention to Scripture, but the truth is, I have these crazy thoughts about love and grace and all the rest precisely because I do read the Bible. And Jesus, as far as I can tell, was the original heretic."

How simple acts of kindness shaped his attitudes and gave him a chance to break the cycle of poverty in his own life, by giving him a strong work ethic and a compassionate heart. Born the youngest of 7 children, Ron was a juvenile delinquent who didn't get caught, skipped a lot of school, and did what he had to, to get the nice stuff other kids had. In spite of a lack of formal education he eventually held a high level position in the corporate world, because someone simply believed in him! After 20 years he left the corporate world and was called into ministry...now the Executive Director of Kerr Street Ministries!

Should ministries borrow money and then expect their supporters to help pay it off?

Saturday Survey — Are you happy with the government's proposal to raise the age of consensual sex from 14 to 16? Why?
Do you think it will really make any difference? Should the government even try to legislate morality in a secular society? If this new law passes, 14 and 15 year olds who want to have sex must do so with a partner who is less than five years older. The gay community is upset (what else is new?) because gay males still aren't allowed to have anal sex until they are 18.

This week, he and his partner were awarded the "Fearless Award" at festivities during Gay Pride Week here in Toronto.

Professor Margaret Somerville
Ryerson students and faculty members wore rainbow-coloured stickers and clothes protesting against the university granting an honorary degree to McGill University ethicist Margaret Somerville. She is against same-sex marriage but supports gay rights. As she accepted the degree, two faculty members at the ceremony held up a banner saying, "My Ryerson honours equal rights", and others turned their backs in protest. Several faculty members refused even to attend the event. Former guest on TDMS, gay minister Brent Hawkes, said the protest won't stop until the university "rescinds" Somerville's degree! Ryerson's president said the school might not have offered Somerville the degree if it had known there would be such an angry reaction. -

VISION TV PRESS RELEASE - "Every year, as many as four million North American Christians travel to developing countries on "short-term missions." They visit for a week or two, work with the poor, spread the gospel, and return home feeling the warm glow of Christian fellowship. It's idealistic, admirable and - according to some experts - almost completely useless. In a special two-part documentary report, March 20 and 27 at 10 p.m. ET, the VisionTV current affairs series "360 Vision" looks at the short-term mission phenomenon, and finds out why many people in developing nations wish that missionaries would just stay home. Critics charge that most of the money spent on missions goes to pay for hotels and airfare, and that the poor benefit little from these flying visits."
To find out more, we speak with 360 Vision's Kevin O'Keefe!

Should gay or lesbian students be expelled from Christian Universities?
Should Christian Universities engage gay activists in dialogue or not even give them the time of day? Jacob Reitan explains to us the reason for the protest rallies at various Christian Universities and Colleges, which discriminate against gay and lesbian students. In other words, gays and lesbians can go there, they just can't be gay or lesbian. Like this weekend for example, they were arrested at Liberty University, because big Jerry Falwell warned that they would be arrested if they stepped foot on the campus. -
Is it OK for a Christian to go out on a date with an un-believer?
We're talking, just one date!

YET! Anne Sharp joins us briefly to talk about her dating life! Anne is an independent publicist with 17 years of experience in corporate marketing & PR with major international companies such as Toyota, Sony Pictures, and Disney.

Ever wanted to ask an ex-Jehovah's Witness why they left the organization?
Peter Mosier was a previous guest on our show who grew up in a Jehovah's Witness family, then came to the realization that what he was being raised to believe wasn't standing up to scrutiny. Subsequently, he put together a fantastic website, simply showing primary resource material (stuff JW's say about themselves and their beliefs) then highlighted various points of interest... things to make you say "Hmmm!" The WatchTower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania sued Peter, seeking a reported $100,000 in damages and a court order to silence the website. Well, they achieved their goal... they silenced Peter's website! But another one popped up!

Mr. James Brown — Soul Brother #1! The Hardest Working Man in Show Business! Mr. Dyn-o-mite! The Minister of The New Super-Heavy Funk! The Godfather of Soul!... that's all we need to say!
In a recent interview, Mr. Brown told Canadian radio personality, Drew Marshall, "I have a real story. At 72-years old it's like I've lived five life times! I was born dead. The midwives delivered me and threw me aside for 30-minutes. Then my great aunt, who raised me, picked me up and spanked me. I cried! Someone said I cried, "Please, please!" However, Mr. Brown only recently made the decision to return to the Faith of his youth as he began to take stock of his life. When asked directly by Drew Marshall about his spiritual journey and when it all began, Mr. Brown replied, "It was happening all the time, the same thing with you and everyone. We just fail to recognize it. But I got really into it, I guess, when I got to be about 62." In quite possibly the longest interview ever given by Mr. Brown, he speaks openly about his being "born again." Not only has he been born again spiritually, some might argue that Mr. Brown has been reborn physically... through much plastic surgery. Brown explained, "I've been born again. God made me born-again, born again by the spirit. And then man, through God's forgiveness and mercy on me, made me look like the way I do today. At 72, I look like I did when I was 37. I'm not bragging on me, I just look in amazement. I'm not bragging on me, I'm bragging on God!" Through all the fame and incredible success, Mr. Brown is the first one to give credit to God. And it's not just an "award show - credit to God," but done with genuine humility and a sincere understanding of God's hand on his life."My soul looks back and wonders how I got over. I got over because He carried me over. I didn't walk over myself; it's like 'Footprints In The Sand'. Nobody can fill my shoes because God won't let them." The man born with two Biblical names, James Joseph Brown, said that Psalm 37 is his favourite part of the Bible and that he particularly admired the patience of Job. Mr. Brown thinks that if he were to be one of the Prophets, he would be Moses, because when God finally used him for great things, "...he was a shepherd boy. I was a shoe shine boy!" At the end of this incredibly intimate conversation in which Mr. Marshall asks specific questions about a topic Mr. Brown very rarely talks about -- his spiritual life -- the Godfather of Soul closed with prayer. "Thank God tonight for this meeting. Thank God for this involvement. Thank God for me being able to testify and tell my side to the people who know where I came from. I feel like Will Rogers, Father. I've never seen a person I didn't love. I've seen some people I don't like because they don't follow the ways of You. But thank God for this time. Thank God for what You've done. I love my country, I love my fellow man, I love everybody's country because the world is the place that You sent me Father and wherever I go, it's Your place. You've made me a home everywhere I went. Thank You for this time... In the name of the Lord - Father, Son and the Holy Ghost. Amen."← 28m:23s – 16.25 MB →
