This week we get into the international television ministry of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, famous pentecostal ministers from the 70s. They revolutionized religious television, starting from the humble beginnings of a kids puppet show and eventually becoming a very successful satelitte network on hundreds of stations.
Jim and Tammy Faye met as bible college students and went on to build an empire together, one that would be brought down by adultery and fraud, as so many are!
Today we will get into their beginnings, how they built their tv studio, and Jim's giant goals of building the best darn Christian waterpark there ever was.
