    Chadder Episode #20: From America's Most Wanted to Redeemed: Terrence Washington's Incredible Story

    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.
