In this episode of The Good Gift Podcast, Jared Pace — Director of True Rock Property Management, devoted father, and brother in Christ — shares a story that mirrors the heart of the book of Philemon.

Before following Christ, Jared was trapped in drug addiction and theft, living a life marked by broken trust and damaged relationships. For years, he tried to change himself. He couldn’t.

What ultimately changed everything wasn’t self-discipline or self-improvement — it was coming face to face with the patience, truth, and grace of Christ.

Over five years sober today, Jared opens up about the moment he realized he could not make himself better — and the powerful reconciliation with the person he stole from that God used to lead him to genuine repentance and faith.

This is a conversation about addiction, humility, fatherhood, reconciliation, and the kind of grace that restores what seemed permanently broken.

If you’ve ever believed you were too far gone, this story says otherwise.
