"Usually, we just put a fairly generic blurb here about our guests. However, for David Wilcox, I wanted to add my personal thoughts. I first saw David about 8 years ago at The Basement in Sydney Australia. It was the first time I can remember actually being mesmerized by a performer. I couldn’t decide whether it was his ingenious chord structures, his mellifluous vocal stylings or his captivating story telling which won me over. Whatever it was, I was absolutely gob-smacked at the end of the night. I guarantee that if you have an ear for the some of the finest guitar arrangements, and your soul is thirsty, you will quickly fall in love with this incredibly creative & intuitive human being." - Drew

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 on the Counsel Of Many: a lady wants a clear answer for her husband who is confused about how someone gets to Heaven.
"My husband thinks that no one really knows how to get to Heaven. He has heard different people give different answers and is just really confused. Some of our Christian friends think you have to be baptized before you can get to Heaven, others say that you have to speak in tongues, and others say that you need to know the exact time and date when you asked Jesus into your heart. We also have other friends who think that unless you’re like a serial killer, that everyone’s getting into Heaven. Can someone please clear this up for him? I’ve tried but I’m hoping that someone else can be clearer than I’ve been. I get flustered trying to explain this stuff."
How do you feel about putting Christian symbols on company logos or advertising?
Isn’t that like using Jesus to get business or do you think that it’s just an evangelism tool and you’re just waiting and hoping that someday, someone will ask you what that fish symbol actually means?
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!)
