One of my favorite things to do while working at home is listening to pod casts. My current favorite is Drew Marshall. You can find a list of interviews to download here
Drew is a former pastor who was disillusioned by the religious institution and he has a few things to say about that. He's current, in touch with today and very entertaining. But mostly, he's a great interviewer and people person. Insightful and authentic, he gets places in interviews with people that are astounding.
The interviews are all spiritually based and he always zeros in on the heart of his subject. There are chats with numerous celebrities, actors and musicians whom you would never have know were authentic Jesus followers. Listening to their stories has really inspired hope in me that Jesus is not as unpopular as the media would make us think. Some of my favorites are Alice Cooper, Dyan Cannon, Kathy Ireland and Jane Russel.
Many of the interviews are with the big cheeses in the Christian world like Chuck Swindoll, David Jeremiah, David Wilkinson, Rick Warren and Brennen Manning. You see a side of these guys that never comes across when they are being Pastors and Authors. He's done a few interviews with William P. Young, author of The Shack that are really worth listening to. I especially enjoyed hearing from Chuck Swindoll. He's the real deal!
There's also interviews with people from opposing spiritual camps like Deepak Choprak, the president of the Church of Scientology, the high priest of the Church of Satan and a leader in the Mormon Church. Drew asks the good questions and draws out some very great dialogue.
Has anyone else heard of him? What do you think?

DGM - could you be Drew Marshall??? Have you been googling yourself?
Yes - Drew is the bestest!
LOL
Thanks Ruth
Never knew he existed but I'm in to hear what he has to say and I like the part about him being unhappy with the way we do church these days. Even the 'new' unhappy people who have broken away from the mainstream are still doing it the same way.
The talented and popular rise to the top and the pecking order is still there and the "social club" evolves again.
And the Social Club lives with all its rules and regulations spoken and unspoken.
Those who truly need the physician don't feel well enough to come in because you need to be well to be 'respected' in the social club.
