#81 My Double Life: Repentance & Confession - Jeff Parker, Part 2
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 it.
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.
