Episode Description
Every one of us has something we’d rather keep in the dark. A sin from our past, a struggle we’re hiding, or something we’ve convinced ourselves isn’t really a problem. From the outside, everything may still look fine. But what happens when the secrets we keep begin to take over?
In this special bonus episode from our friends at the Compelled podcast, you’ll hear the story of Jeff Parker, a devoted husband, father, ministry leader, and businessman whose seemingly harmless love of poker slowly became an addiction that led to deception and a double life.
Jeff’s story isn’t about one catastrophic decision. It’s about a series of small choices to hide, justify, and delay confession, and the freedom that can come when what’s been kept in the dark is finally brought into the light.
Here’s My Double Life from Compelled.
