A pastor who was ousted from his megachurch for drug abuse and sexual misconduct, and then served three years in a federal prison on a drug-smuggling charge, has returned to the pulpit.
For the past four Sundays, John Bishop, 60, has preached a series, entitled “Grace Does,” at New Life Friends Church in Vancouver, Washington.
Bishop is the disgraced former pastor of Living Hope Church, a megachurch in Vancouver, Wash. But he was fired from Living Hope in 2015, and three years later, convicted of smuggling marijuana across the U.S.-Mexico border.
