Just An Awkward Interview
This is one of the most awkward interviews I’ve ever watched.
I found this video this morning. Oh my… I don’t know where to start. I hope this is me in 10 years. Still a screw up. Still fumbling through my relationship with God. Still the social reject in conservative Christian circles. Still desperately searching for answers. Still only able to say, “Jesus has never given up on me”.
You guys… This man, Drew Marshall, is a man after my own heart. Basically everything he says are things that I would happily echo to all the goody-goody Christians that I know. It is so refreshing and encouraging to hear someone with the same heart (I feel) as myself and delivering the same, awkward, in-your-face message that I desire to give.
Anyway, enough of my talking. Watch the videos if you have time. They’re each about 10 minutes long.
I’m also going to post an additional video of DM… It’s cool. You’ll have to check it out.
Keep in mind, I don’t know this guy other than these three videos and a humble page on Wikipedia. I was just so impressed with his message and drive that I had to post it. Enjoy!

“You know what ADD stands for? Attention Deficit geee your hair looks great!”
(Fiddles with her hair, nervous laughter) “Stop it! It’s a bad hair day!”
LOL! She didn’t get it AT ALL!! Blonde, blonde, blonde.
Drew said: “I have hope and I have faith that this, which I believe, is true. But to say that it IS true? I don’t know.” - 3:45 - 3:57 on the 3rd video
I don’t know…it sounds to me like he doesn’t really believe what he professes to believe. Either Jesus told the truth about himself or he didn’t. If he did tell the truth, then believing in that message means you trust it to be 100% accurate…no ifs, ands or buts. However, if you allow that Jesus may not have told the truth about himself, then why bother with faith? That’s not dogma…that’s logic.
I appreciate the fact that Drew disdains arrogance, specifically within the Christian Church. There simply is no place for it. But I think he’s confusing the ideas of “my denomination is the only right one” with “Christianity is true and good and none can come to the Father but through Jesus.” The former is dogma…religiosity…”churchianity”…arrogance. The latter is correct theology and should be spoken clearly to all who would hear.
From these interviews, I’m not convinced Drew grasps the difference. Then again, it’s only 25 minutes. Is that enough to give someone who’s never heard him before an accurate understanding of who he is, what he believes, and what his message is? Probably not. I will say this: his attitude of disdain for those who are arrogant and his manner of expression thereof is, in itself, arrogant. I’m guessing he doesn’t appreciate the irony.
