With more than 50 million books in print, Max Lucado's 60+ titles are read worldwide in more than 20 languages. Christianity Today magazine dubbed Lucado "America's Pastor," and Publishers Weekly recently proclaimed "there aren't many authors bigger than Lucado." In 2005, Reader's Digest called him "America's Best Preacher." His books are regular fixtures on national bestseller lists including The New York Times, USA Today and Publishers Weekly. Lucado has been featured in a wide range of media, including USA Today, Larry King Live and NBC Nightly News, and has spoken at the National Prayer Breakfast before the President of the United States. And today he joins us to talk about his life and his latest release, 3:16 The Numbers Of Hope.
Graham Kerr has been an established television personality since 1959 and has aired over 1,700 programs including broadcasts in the United States, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Asia, Africa, United Kingdom, and Europe. Many of his programs are still airing on PBS, allfood.com the Food Channel, and other locations throughout the world through syndication. Most of us simply know him as that British sounding chef with the wine glass - The Galloping Gourmet!
Alcohol and drugs had taken nearly everything from Jim Robinson. He had no job, no car and no home. He was a suicidal drunk and addict, and nearly died. But in 1989, this lost man, in one dark and desperate moment, turned to find that his Creator had been there all along, in the middle of his messy life. Utilizing his gifts as a professional counsellor, speaker, author, and songwriter, Jim founded ProdigalSong Ministries in 2000, which has evolved into a vibrant mission that brings a testimony of hope and healing and provides professional resources that address the issues of addiction and recovery, obsessive/compulsive behaviours, mood disorders, family healing, and related life issues. www.prodigalsong.com
Talkback, etc.
Do you see anything wrong with an "all-black" school?
(carried over from last week) We've got Jewish schools, Christian schools, and the Toronto board already has schools for First Nations students and an alternative high school for gay and lesbian teens. But is there something just not right about a school based on the colour of someone's skin, or is this concept long overdue, especially considering how the black community has been treated over the years?
If you're not happy with the direction your church is heading, do you stop giving?
(carried over from last week)Leaving the church might be a step you eventually take down the road, but in the mean time, what if you don't like what the Pastor is preaching? What if you're not on board with the new building campaign? What if the denomination as a whole is making decisions you feel goes directly against God's Word? Would you ever consider not tithing? Is that appropriate? Or should you continue to give, and trust God to do with it as He likes? Have you ever actually protested with your offering for a period of time?
The Counsel Of Many! Need Help or Advice On An Issue In Your Life?
Tell us your situation and Drew will ask the listeners of TDMS! This Week: "Should I marry a woman in order to rescue her and her children from a life of extreme poverty?" A man wants to know if he should marry a woman and bring her over to North America to escape probable death. Do you think God would see this as a legitimate marriage? Do you need to be "in love" in order to get married? Is this any different than adopting a child from an orphanage in Rwanda or Romania?

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 has since given up his vehicle, his phone, only posts a few times a year on social media and rarely emails. All of this is required to allow him to focus on writing a book. He gets distracted easily.
*BTW - We are very aware that this website for our old radio show is "old school." But Drew never really cared about "looks". That's why he was on the radio!
CAUTION: DO NOT CONTINUE IF YOU ARE 100% CERTAIN ABOUT YOUR BELIEFS, AS THIS MEANS THAT YOU HAVE ZERO FAITH.
