In this Christmas edition of Chadder, I'm joined by Terrence Washington, a man whose story sounds more like a movie than real life.

Terrence is celebrating his first Christmas out of prison in over 20 years. He was featured twice on America's Most Wanted, stole hundreds of cars, robbed multiple banks, escaped from prison and even from handcuffs, and became known for his infamous move called "The Ole Washington Bail Out."

But this episode isn't about his past — it's about redemption.

In the midst of a life that seemed beyond saving, Terrence encountered Jesus, and everything changed. Today, he's truly free, walking with purpose, and living with the confidence that his life now has a future and a hope.

This is a powerful reminder that no one is too far gone, and that Christmas is ultimately a story about freedom, redemption, and new beginnings.

In this episode, I sat down with Pastor Connor Bledsoe, the new lead pastor of Household of Faith. Connor opens up about stepping into this new season, the weight and privilege of leadership, and the vision God has placed on his heart for the church's future.

We talk candidly about what it means to lead well, stay grounded, and protect what matters most ...family. This conversation is full of wisdom, clarity, and honesty about ministry, calling, and character.

In this episode, Chad sits down with Mr. Charlie Cole: developer of the Country Club of Louisiana and Santa Maria, world traveler, entrepreneur, and the visionary behind Como Retreat.

Charlie has lived a remarkable life — building communities, traveling the world (twice), collecting stories, and helping people reconnect with God. Most importantly, he's a devoted follower of Christ and one of the most fascinating people in Louisiana.
