Jim Bakker lived one of the most extraordinary—and complicated—lives in Christian television.
Following his passing, Charisma Media is opening its archives to share portions of an exclusive interview with Jim Bakker, allowing him to reflect on his life, faith, failures and the lessons he learned through some of his darkest years.
In this deeply personal conversation, Bakker looks back on the collapse of PTL, the years he spent in prison, the dangers of success and ministry ambition, and the painful realization that his pursuit of ministry had cost him precious time with his own family.
But he also speaks about what remained when everything else was gone.
“Jesus never left me. Jesus never walked away.”
Bakker explains how prison challenged what he once believed about success, why he came to say “I was wrong,” and how his priorities ultimately shifted from trying to accomplish great things for God to simply knowing Jesus more intimately.
His life and ministry were marked by tremendous success, very public failure, controversy, consequences, repentance and restoration. This tribute does not erase those complexities. Instead, we return to Jim Bakker’s own words and the lessons he believed his life could leave behind for the Church.
From the Charisma Media archives, this is Jim Bakker—in his own words.
