My New Hero

This is someone I found over on the Mayberry-Driven Church, and immediately thought 'Why haven't I heard of this guy before?' Drew Marshall is someone whose particular brand of Christianity is so much more rough and tumble -- so much more real -- than almost anything else in the vast evangelical-industrial complex. He hosts 'Canada's most-listened-to spiritual talkback show,' and he's really not approaching it as a "Ministry" per se. He just wants to get people talking about all the things that the church has done such a miserable job talking about.

Past shows have included discussions on:

• Is there anybody out there who thinks that HIV/AIDS is God's wrath on the gays?
• Why is it that MOST people who claim to have the gift of prophecy are weird and pushy?
• Sure, homosexuals are apparently welcome in the church, but what are they allowed to do?
• Are some professions off limits if you claim to be a Christian?
  
• Should churches be kicking people out more often these days?
• Is the 'n-word' really that offensive?
• Should spanking be outlawed in Canada?
• Legalism… In your opinion, what are some dumb church rules?
• Interviews with folks like Steve Baldwin, Pat Boone, Kirk Cameron, the Gaithers, Nicky Gumbel, Amy Grant, and other folks like:
• James Brown, Chuck Norris, Don Cherry, Stephen Harper, Ted DiBiase (Wrestling's 'Million Dollar Man'), and Richard James (High Priest of the Wiccan Church of Canada)

So with lineups like that, you know it's gonna be good listening! Plus the guy is an absolute kick. Check out his first (and last) appearance on 100 Huntley Street:
