Interview: Jay Bakker discusses his ministry for troubled youth
and his life as the son of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker
TERRY GROSS, host:

This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross.

My guest Jay Bakker describes himself as having been born into the premier
family of a megamedia church, a family that many viewers once assumed was the
perfect Christian family. Jay is the son of televangelist Jim and Tammy Faye
Bakker. They were the creators of "The 700 Club" and "The PTL Club," which
was broadcast through their own Christian satellite network. `PTL' stood for
`Praise the Lord.'

Two scandals brought down this television ministry in the late '80s. Jim
Bakker was accused by Jessica Hahn of raping her, a charge he has denied,
although he admitted to a sexual encounter. Jim Bakker was also convicted of
defrauding the followers of PTL.

high school, drank, smoked

Jim Bakker

American televangelist (born 1940)

For people named James Baker, see James Baker (disambiguation).

James Orsen Bakker (;^[1] born January 2, 1940) is an American televangelist and convicted felon. Between 1974 and 1987, Bakker hosted the television program The PTL Club and its cable television platform, the PTL Satellite Network, with his then wife, Tammy Faye. He also developed Heritage USA, a now-defunct Christian theme park in Fort Mill, South Carolina.

In the late 1980s, Bakker resigned from the PTL ministry over a cover-up of hush money to church secretary Jessica Hahn for an alleged rape. Subsequent revelations of accounting fraud brought about felony charges, conviction, imprisonment, and divorce. Bakker later remarried and returned to televangelism, founding Morningside Church in Blue Eye, Missouri, and reestablishing the PTL ministry. He currently hosts The Jim Bakker Show, which focuses on the end times and the Second Coming of Christ while promoting emergency survival products. Bakker has written several books, including I Was Wrong an

‘Fall to Grace’: Life as the son of Jim & Tammy Faye Bakker

As the son of preeminent Christian televangelist Jim Bakker in the 1980s, Jay Bakker’s life felt blessed and blissful. But as his parents’ empire publicly imploded in the wake of the biggest scandal of the decade, young Jay’s life suddenly took a series of difficult turns. In his new book, “Fall to Grace: A Revolution of God, Self, and Society,” Bakker describes the troubled road he had to walk in order to attain peace and recover his faith. Here’s an excerpt.

Free-Fallin’

We are punished by our sins, not for them.
—Elbert Hubbard

You know you’ve reached a new level of fame in American culture (or infamy) when there’s a casting call to play you in a movie.

In my case, it was a second-rate made-for-TV movie called "Fall from Grace," starring Kevin Spacey as my dad and Bernadette Peters — face painted like the side of a barn — as my mom. Somewhere in Hollywood a bunch of chubby white kids lined up, hoping to get their big break playing the part of little Jamie Charles Bakker, son of disgrace
