Kathie Lee Gifford — Co-Host of The Today Show, Author & Lyricist of Broadway's SCANDALOUS – The Musical!
Kathie Lee Gifford has had a heart to tell the amazing life story of one of the most controversial evangelists Hollywood has ever seen! And she's been working tirelessly for the past 13 years to see the Broadway musical about the life of the Foursquare founder, become a reality. Directed by David Armstrong, SCANDALOUS is based on the life of Aimee Semple McPherson (1890-1944), the world's first media superstar evangelist! Time Magazine named Aimee one the most influential people of the twentieth century. Set in 1920's Los Angeles, holiness collides with Hollywood in this extraordinary true tale of one woman’s charismatic rise to fame, amidst enduring claims of scandalous love affairs. As her popularity grows, so do her enemies, until her sermons, her celebrity, and her past put everything she believes in on trial. Two-time Tony Award winner George Hearn heads a remarkable cast of 20, including two-time Tony Award nominee Carolee Carmello (Mamma Mia, Sister Act) who stars as the inimitable Aimee Semple McPherson! -

Joel Miller — Author of Lifted By Angels: The Presence and Power of Our Heavenly Guides and Guardians
They are all around us, but sometimes we forget they exist. Angels move in and out of our daily lives. They are often with us during the happy moments, participate in prayer and worship, and often escort us through the trials of life and even the passage of life. If that reality seems dim to us now, it beamed from the early Christians. Lifted by Angels presents modern readers with a vision of angels as seen by the early church. Through their writings, sermons, poetry and art, the early Christians confessed a powerful and vivid belief that angels help carry us on our journey to God. But what do we really know about them as we're living in today's society?

Joining us today: Zack Hunt — The American Jesus
While continuing his graduate studies at Yale Divinity School focusing on the history of Christianity, Zack blogs this kind of stuff in his spare time! “A certain fast food chain likes to say 'have it your way', and apparently so does the church. You can have the faith anyway you want it, or at least that seems to be the message we put out in America. This is NOT a political blog. It’s an only sometimes serious look at the phenomena of American Christianity. If I find a good video I’ll post it. If I read something that gets me going, I’ll rant about it. And if there’s a theological tangent I feel the need to discuss, I’ll write about it. Hopefully you will enjoy my musings, but if not……it’s probably because you’re probably a communist!” -
Jamie Wright — The Very Worst Missionary
Last time we spoke with Jamie she was indeed, the very worst missionary! However, there are reports that she is now The Very Worst Pastor's Wife! Jamie’s refreshing blog has been catching the attention of those of us who aren’t ultra-sensitive-conservative-fundamentalists. I mean, who wouldn’t want to read… “Inappropriate remarks, embarrassing antics, and generally lame observations about living life as a Christian missionary in Costa Rica” from a mother of three and wife of one?
Talkback, etc.

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 young girl wants to know if she should go to her aunt's “coming out” party or disobey her parents and not go.
My aunt is having a party to celebrate coming out as a lesbian. My mom and dad want our entire family to go to it. I'm totally not comfortable with this because, although I love my aunt, I'm pretty sure (although not 100%) that homosexuality is a sin and I just don't feel comfortable going to a party to celebrate it. Besides, even if I did go, I'd probably just end up sitting off by myself and not really engaging with people. (Maybe because I'm also a girl with a “lesbian” haircut and I just don't want those who don't know me to think... never mind.) Then it would be obvious that something was “wrong” with me and then someone would ask and then I'd have to tell them that I just wasn't cool with being there. And that whole conversation would totally suck! However, as much as I want to honor what I think the Bible says about homosexuality, I also want to honor what it says about honoring and obeying my parents because God has put them in authority over me. SO... if I go to this “hey everyone I'm a lesbian and I'm proud of it” party, I'll be going against my conscience and against what I think God would want me to do – BUT I'll be dishonoring and disobeying my parents, which is also what God wants me to do. What should I do? -
