Drew Marshall

Canadian Broadcaster

As a former Pastor now disillusioned with religion, Drew Marshall has spent the last decade as the host of Canada's most listened to spiritual talk show. He's interviewed spiritual leaders, cultural influencers, and yes... even celebrities, to find out why and how people believe! He's spoken with Marie Osmond about her Mormonism, Larry King about his Agnosticism, Alice Cooper about his Christianity, Sinead O'Connor about her Rastafarian Catholicism, and Penn Jillette about his Atheism. His quest to understand “faith” has taken him to Israel for a month where he meditated at the Wailing Wall; wept at Jerusalem's Holocaust Memorial; stayed at an orphanage in Bethlehem on Christmas Eve; herded sheep in Nazareth; and camped in the Judean desert during the worst sand-storm in 50 years.

He's slept at Stonehenge, taken the pilgrimage to a monastic Mecca in the Scottish Hebrides, and waited for the tide to go out before traveling across the mystical road to Holy Island off the coast of England. He's consumed ales with Witches, drank mead with Druids, celebrated Solstice with Wiccans, discussed Hedonism with the High Priest of The Church Of Satan, and asked Canada's polygamist leader about his bed-sharing schedule. He was also invited to L. Ron Hubbard's 100th Birthday Celebration by the President of Scientology Canada. Drew Marshall's personal pursuit to believe in the "unbelievable" has even led to giving up his eyesight for an entire week during Lent. “The longer I search, the more I understand that doubt is actually more compatible with faith than certainty.”
