Jay Bakker has a TV show

It's on the Sundance Channel, which I do not have. so I'm downloading the iTunes version and will watch it soon.

UPDATE:
I love this show, though I can't completely put into words why I do. I met Jay, (that is we shook hands once) a year or two ago in Marko's suite at YS convention in Atlanta. Karla Yaconelli had visited his church earlier in the evening and had relayed (with much enthusiasm) her experience at Revolution. Jay showed up later in the evening. There were a lot of people there that night and I spent most of my time with other folks, but I for some reason I feel connected to this guy. I want to see him thrive. Thrive is probably not the word. Success isn't it either. I guess, I just want good for Jay and his family. Perhaps it's the pastor in me, knowing his past.

Vulerability is the word that stands out to me.
The scenes that at the end of the episode in Wisconsin are amazing based are are completely and refreshingly build on the Jay's life.


Also. I think that his story connects to so many folks I bump into every week. Folks who are trying to rid themselves of the demons of their past. Trying to make sense of their parent's faith and life. Trying to find a way to do church that feels honest to them. And Finding a way to do all this and support their family.

AND. Did you notice Jay holding a copy of Mike Yaconelli's book Messy Spirituality at the beginning of the episode?

I'm looking forward to seeing more of this show.
