In this episode Casey dives right into talking redemption with Jay Bakker. Jamie Charles “Jay” Bakker is an American pastor, author and speaker.

During his young adult years Bakker became disillusioned with mainstream Christianity, becoming particularly critical of Christian fundamentalism and the Christian right. He has pastored the Revolution Church in Minneapolis since 1994.

Casey and Jay challenge and affirm each other as they exchange their perspectives on LGTBQ+ treatment by the church, the current political climate, the path to redemption and more.
