Jay Baker biography
Jay Bakker is a renowned American pastor, author, and speaker. He is the son of televangelist Jim Bakker and Tammy Faye Bakker Messner of Prophetic End Time News. In 1988, when Jay was just 12 years old, his father Jim was charged with eight counts of mail fraud, 15 counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy. This saw him spend six years in federal prison.
The trauma of his father’s arrest and subsequent arrest by other Christians in the church and religious community led young Jay to become involved in substance abuse and partying at an early age.
Later, Bakker became disillusioned with mainstream Christianity, becoming critical of Christian fundamentalism and the Christian right. He then became a much more liberal Christian and co-founded Revolution Church in 1994 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Jay then preached at the Revolution’s Atlanta location before evangelizing the Revolution Church’s New York branch. While here, Bakker performed services at the bar and venue Pete’s Candy store in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn.

In 2013, Baker moved to Minneapolis to evangelize in another iteration of Revolution Church. However, much of Jay’s story was detailed in a 2006 documentary on the Sundance channel; One Punk Under God: The Prodigal Son of Jim and Tammy Faye. Furthermore, he was featured in Time Magazine.
As an author, Bakker wrote the book; Son of a Preacher: My Quest for Grace in the Shadows. This is an autobiography that details his youth, relationship with his parents, his scandals and the founding of the Church of the Revolution.
In 2011, he co-authored Martin Edlund’s book; Fall to Grace: A Revolution of God, Self and Society. This book explores the radical, transforming, and inner nature of grace, challenging Christians to reevaluate their understanding of salvation.
