So Jess and I are hooked to a new series, ‘One Punk Under God’ featuring Jay Bakker, son of Jim & Tammy Faye.
It’s a documentary on the Sundance Channel about his church, “The Revolution” in Atlanta.
Well we don’t get the Sundance Channel, so we’re watching it through iTunes and we’re definitely hooked. Jay definitely has a VERY liberal look at the church which is somewhat expected from knowing about his childhood.
There is one thing, however, that I’m having a very difficult time with. In the second episode (there are only two available so far), Jay makes a public statement about the gay lifestyle NOT being sinful. He literally says that there is nothing wrong with being a homosexual and that those of us that believe there is are basing it strictly on false traditions of the church.
We’ll definitely continue to watch the season and see how Jay’s opinion plays out in the life of his church.
Anyone else watching this series?
I watch his father on TCT- The Jim Bakker Show. I have been very into his show and how he has turned his life around. I have also read some about his son- I dont think his statement about the gay lifestyle is right. Keep me updated on this show.
I’ve been watching, too. The free first episode got me hooked. I’m looking forward to watching this with some of my students and talking about it.
