Have you ever been a victim of abuse by your spouse? Do you know of anyone within your church who is currently being abused by their spouse? NO MORE SECRETS - PART 2!
Last week we tried to talk about why the church seems to be a safe haven for
spousal abuse... apparently it's still hard for people to discuss! Co-Author of
Refuge From Abuse: Healing and Hope for Abused Christian Women, Catherine Clark
Kroeger joins us this week, to shed some light on why the church still seems to be
a great place for wife beaters to hide.
Are you a doubter or one of those irritating 100% faithful believers?
You know what's really hard to understand? People who have never, ever, in their life,
doubted the existence of God. What is it that makes you doubt or what is it that
makes you NEVER doubt?
The Drew Marshall Show ran for 16 years but came to an end on June 29th 2019.
However, Drew has decided to leave the interview archives online and available for you.
So enjoy!
We are currently experiencing some technical difficulties with our site. This means that all audio archives can only be listened to with a computer and not a mobile device. Our apologies. We are looking into this.
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
