Jay came into the public eye early, when his parents built and lost a Christian television network and entertainment complex. As a result, Jay dropped out of school and church, spending his teenage years rebelling against just about everything.
When he found his way to sobriety and back to faith, he founded a church called Revolution, which has branches in Phoenix, Atlanta, New York City, and Minneapolis. He’s written several books, his most recent is Faith, Doubt, and Other Lines I’ve Crossed: Walking with the Unknown God.
Five fast facts
- Lives with his wife and their cat in Minnesota
- Is a comic book aficionado, and he builds superhero dioramas
- Known to consume massive quantities of Diet Coke
- Won an award from GLAAD for his advocacy for gays and lesbians in the church
- The podcast of his sermons is heard by thousands every week

It appears that Bakker is, indeed, here in Minneapolis, though his website still lists him as living in Brooklyn and pastoring Revolution Church NYC. Several recent podcasts are listed as happening at Bryant Lake Bowl in Minneapolis. A letter on his blog also references his move to Minneapolis.
