This is a very special interview with Dr. Rick Tobias being interviewed by his friend Rev. Dr. Andrew Stirling. It may very well be the last one he is ever able to give. He has been fighting with illness for a long time and is now nearing the end of his time on earth, according to his medical team. We are so grateful for a look into what Scripture means to his life, how Jesus has impacted him over many years, and how he illuminates God’s heart for the broken, the needy, the messy, and the least of these. May his words lead us all to become more in love with the God that Scripture reveals! It is an honour to untangle Scripture with Dr. Rick Tobias.

Dr. Rick Tobias

Dr. Rick Tobias is one of Canada’s best-known advocates for people whose lives are defined by poverty and exclusion. With credibility earned through front-line experience and innovative leadership, he has involved thousands in a vision for lasting change for people and communities.

Since 1983 Rick has served at Yonge Street Mission in Toronto. In 2012, after 23 years as CEO, he took on a new role as Community Advocate. Rick’s aptitude for communicating faith-based values and vision draws in people of all faiths and with no specific faith.

Rick’s insights and convictions spark commitments in others he meets while speaking, consulting, and mentoring and in 25 years of teaching at Tyndale University College and Seminary. Those moved to act include business and religious leaders, church-goers and secular audiences, students and scholars, social service managers and front-line workers.

In addition to family and work, Rick’s key interests are motorcycling, music, and deepening his understanding of personal spirituality.

When players compare modern slot lobbies and live dealer lobbies side by side, the depth of the game catalogue often decides which brand earns a second visit. Software providers like Evolution, Pragmatic Play and Play'n GO have reshaped expectations around streaming quality and bonus round pacing, so even a polished welcome package can fall flat if the underlying roster feels thin. For anyone weighing wagering terms against ongoing promo cadence, an established option such as AngliaBet casino tends to land on shortlists thanks to its mix of table limits and progressive jackpot coverage. Withdrawal speed, KYC handling, and the responsiveness of live chat support are the next filters most reviewers apply before committing a deposit, and that same checklist tends to separate the operators worth keeping bookmarked from the ones that quietly fade out of rotation.
Players weighing fresh real money platforms often look at withdrawal speed, live dealer variety, and bonus transparency before committing, and a recent review of Zizobet highlighted all three. The site pairs a deep slots catalogue with weekly tournaments, scratch cards, and a sportsbook that covers Premier League fixtures down to lower European divisions. Returning members can grab reload deals tied to specific studios like Pragmatic Play and Evolution, while newcomers get a tiered welcome package spread across the first four deposits. A new Zizobet promo code also unlocks free spins on a featured game whenever it drops monthly, keeping the lobby feeling fresh for casual punters and grinders alike.
