Chain Breaker and Uber Driver
How Chris Fabry Saw Ripple Effects of the Gospel
“If you’ve got chains, He’s a chain breaker.” For Christian music artist Zach Williams, the song Chain Breaker is personal. In a conversation with Moody Radio’s Chris Fabry, Zach shared how he had run far from the Lord, but how everything changed when God took hold of his life and broke the chains of sin that had entangled him.
Chris Fabry said that just as they were ending the interview, a listener called. He worked as an Uber driver, and that day he had tuned in to Moody Radio and Chris’s interview with Zach.
“He told us that a young man had gotten in for a ride, and his rider had been listening to my interview,” Chris said. “After the song, the young man asked him, ‘Do you think that’s true? Do you think God can really do that?’”
“What I like about this story,” Chris continued, “is the mystery of the young man who left the car. Instead of tying up all the loose ends, we only know that a seed was planted.”
But we all know that a seed is more than enough for God. Just as God had changed Zach’s life, He used Zach’s song sent over the airwaves to impact the life of someone else. The truth of the gospel rippled forward, breaking the chains of sin as it went.
“This story shows what we’re all about,” Chris said. “Not every listener has a conversion after one hearing. And not every person listening is ready to commit their life to Christ. But the faithful telling of stories and being true to the gospel is something God uses to motivate us as believers to proclaim the gospel to those who don’t know Christ.”
