When Drew was on CBC’s Test The Nation, he sat beside a pretty nice guy named Jeremy. He found out through the course of the show that Jeremy was in a band and that both he and Drew had gotten on TTN the same way – Strombo made it so! Jeremy said he’d love to come on our show someday. Well, today’s the day! We have no idea what Jeremy believes in, all we know is that Jeremy was on the Believers Team with Drew and that he believes in something! By the way, Sony artists “OLP” have sold over five million albums, won four Juno Awards, and ten MuchMusic Video Awards — the most MMVAs ever awarded to any artist or group!

Last week on Oprah, former evangelical superstar Ted Haggard and his wife Gayle, were talking about why Gayle decided to stay with her husband after it was exposed that he’d been taking drugs and hiring the services of a male prostitute. Oprah seemed to have a tough time buying into Gayle’s forgiveness and pretty much accused her of being naïve! Well this Saturday Gayle Haggard is on OUR show.

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 mother of two teenagers is really worried about her kid’s spiritual lives and wants advice on how to get them interested and engaged.
“I am a mother of two teenagers. Both of them seem to be very disinterested in their spiritual lives. Neither of them read the Bible. They say it’s boring and hard to understand. Neither of them go to any youth events at our church let alone the youth group. They are past the age of us “taking them” to church, nor do we want to force it upon them. My husband and I have no idea how to help them grow spiritually and we feel so helpless watching them make poor choices. I know, I know… all we can do is pray for them. C’mon… there’s got to be something we can do other than pray. Are there any parents out there who can give us some practical tips & advice? What have you done to get your kids interested in their faith and growing spiritually?”
Do you think it was a wise move for Focus On The Family to spend millions on a 30-second anti abortion Super Bowl ad?
Thirty-second commercials during the Super Bowl are selling for $2.5 million to $2.8 million. According to CBS news, Gary Schneeberger, a spokesman for Focus on the Family, said funds for the ad were donated by a few "very generous friends" and did not come from the ministry’s general fund. So knowing that general funds weren’t used for this bold ad campaign, do you think this was a good use of donations for a Christian ministry? Or should that money have been spent on better things – like Haiti?

The beginning and the end of the show is like any good sandwich. The stuff in the middle is what it's all about - The rest is just crust! Sometimes it's worth listening to. Sometimes - not so much.

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
