Places of worship: New Life Bible Church, Norman, Oklahoma
Beliefs: Christianity is more attractive when packaged in fun music and drama. God doesn't care if you wear jeans.
Cheri and I decided to try something radically different, but with the same basic beliefs. New Life Bible Church featured praise music with lyrics projected on the wall, dramas in every service, baptisms in a swimming pool, and was specifically designed to not "scare anyone". I ate it up - I became part of the band, playing drums in the Sheraton Hotel ballroom where we had services. I also wrote several dramas (including an Indiana Jones parody - I forget what spiritual meaning it had!). Unfortunately, Cheri felt it was a little too loose, so we decided to go back to tradition, but without so many weird dogmas.
