Known throughout the entertainment world as one of the most
brilliant composers and recording artists of our time, John Tesh is probably most
widely recognised as the former co-host of Entertainment Tonight. Married to
actress Connie Sellecca, this Emmy Award winning musician has a fascinating story
of Faith!
Daniel Decker just returned from Armenia, where he performed
his song “Adana” to a standing ovation at a nationally televised Memorial Concert
commemorating the 90th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. 1.5 million Christian
Armenians were slaughtered in the genocide by Muslim Turkish soldiers of the Ottoman
Empire because they would not renounce their faith in Christ. Decker's song “Adana”
is about the genocide from a decidedly Christian point of view, and has been
translated into 17 languages so far. It was received with great emotion and a
standing ovation by all in attendance. Through this song Daniel is having the
opportunity to proclaim the Gospel in a way he'd never have, even if he were a
missionary. As a result, he's bringing God's healing and restoration to the people
over this event, which several countries including modern-day Turkey and the U.S.,
still don't officially recognize. Listen to the man who made a difference. Listen to
the passion. Listen to the story!
Would you allow your teenager to get drunk at home so they would know what it felt like, within the safety and supervision of your own home?
Would you allow a party with drinking at your house, just to keep an eye on things?
With graduation and summer parties coming up, a lot of teens use this time as
an excuse "just to try it." If they wanted to do it and felt like they were going to
do it anyway, with or without your approval, some parents are thinking about the
lesser of two evils... getting drunk at home with supervision!? What would you do?
OK... Karla Homolka moves in next door. How do you react?
Do you strike up a relationship with her and care for her as you would any other
neighbour, if not even more? Or do you protest, avoid or possibly move? Don't forget...
you're asked to love your neighbour as yourself. Don't forget... this woman
committed absolutely gruesome crimes. Don't forget... all have sinned and fallen
short of God's perfection.
Why did you originally decide to follow Christ? Why are you still following Him?
You're on the Titanic! It's going down fast and someone asks you these questions!
What would you concisely say?

DREW WHO? Since 2003, Drew Marshall has talked to everyone about whatever it is they believe, in a very light-hearted manner and with absolutely zero agenda, aside from a genuine personal curiosity to understand “belief”. Drew was adopted, grew up in a funeral home, survived a teenage suicide attempt, dropped out of school in Grade 9, ran away to California to be a wrangler, played semi-pro football with NFL/CFL tryouts, drove around North America volunteering for charities, tried to be a firefighter & a rodeo cowboy, was a stay at home dad, has worked a little in film and TV, became a Pastor in Australia and studied stand-up comedy & improv at Second City Toronto. These days he’s a hospital chaplain and hosts Canada’s most listened to spiritual talk show. He’s interviewed hundreds of celebrities & cultural icons about their beliefs or lack thereof. Struggling with his own faith, Drew sacrificed his eyesight for the last week of Lent, paid non-believers to go to church, drank with witches, celebrated with Wiccans, visited with Satanists, walked 1000 KM’s on the Camino de Santiago, then spent time writing in a monastery on an island off the coast of the Western Sahara during a three month vow of silence. Basically, he’s “Red Letter”, wandering, autodidactic iconoclast with agnostic tendencies and a microphone - a skeptical believer on an irreverent search for the sacred!
*Should you wish to reach out to Drew directly, please use the contact page. It might take a while for him to respond though, as he now lives on a farm and is no longer addicted to technology. (Which is a good thing as he's trying to write a stupid book and gets distracted easi - SQUIRREL!)
CAUTION: DO NOT CONTINUE IF YOU ARE 100% CERTAIN ABOUT YOUR BELIEFS
