In the interview Drew reviews Steve's history in the Christian music arena, from the recording of Clone to the demise of Squint Entertainment, as well as his burgeoning film career, his marriage, the adoption of his daughter, and even prods Steve into providing a rare glimpse into his opinions on the intermingling of religion and politics. Of course, his brief stint dating Lisa Whelchel is also mentioned.

Corrected Creation 1988 Bootleg DVD Available For Download
May 31st: A corrected Creation 1988 DVD is now available for download from the Sock Heaven BitTorrent tracker. The first version had problems with jerkiness and stuttering on set-top players.

If you downloaded the first version, please delete it and do not redistribute it.
