I recently read that it seems the latest Christian fad is learning how to pole dance to upbeat Christian music. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that when this newscast aired, men all over America were singing the hymn “Now Thank We All Our God”.

Every second Sunday of the month in Houston, Texas, Crystal Deans – owner/instructor of The Best Shape of Your Life – invites female church-goers into her pole dancing studio.  “On Sundays, we do pole fitness for Jesus,” Crystal told the media.

And not just anyone can waltz in for a lesson either.  You apparently have to bring your Sunday church leaflet with you as your ticket for admittance.  Apparently, before you work the pole…you have to worship first.

Tiffany Booth, a newcomer to the pole dancing frenzy at the studio, says “I think it’s a fabulous thing.”

And with names like Crystal and Tiffany, if the Pole Dancing for Jesus doesn’t work out…there’s always the local gentleman’s club –  where the men will no doubt be singing that old Christian favorite “What Thanks and Praise to Thee We Owe”.
