Summary

I lived a double life fueled by a secret gambling addiction that led me down a dark path of embezzling money from my company. For years I compartmentalized my sin even as guilt and shame mounted, until the relentless prompting of God’s Spirit and the truth of Scripture finally drove me to confess everything. I took the painful step of repaying the stolen funds and exposing the full measure of my wrongdoing. Now, I share my confession and transformation—not to boast, but to testify that even in the depths of sin, Jesus’s redemptive power can break every chain and set a life free.

In our last episode, we heard Part 1 of Jeff Parker’s story. Jeff was the Vice President of a thriving Christian media company, but he secretly harbored a gambling addiction. This is the 2nd part of his story, so if you haven’t heard the 1st half, stop right now and go listen to that.

To fund his secret gambling addiction, Jeff began taking shocking measures to hide his activity.

Jeff knew he should submit his life to Christ, but the chains of sin ran far deeper than even he realized. The only One who could set him free… was the One who had already broken the chains of sin.
