👉👉Check out the store: store.michaelf... In today's Mob Story Monday, Michael talks about how a normal day in California, with his wife and kids, to being arrested by the FBI the very same day. From being locked up in solitary confinement for almost 30 months and almost giving up, to knowing God in his six by eight prison cell and realizing that his prison time actually "saved" his life.
This video is a testament on how a mafia boss left the violent life of crime and survived, to turning his life around and following Christ.

Was a corrections Sgt for 26 years. I just recently retired. Prison is nothing great. My job plainly sucked. Worked a super max state prison. I spoke and dealt with inmates the way I would want to be dealt with. It served me well. I had a lot of respect with both staff and inmates.

You're definitely more respectful and nice in this regard than most atheists tend to be, but IMO it's just absolutely-positively-rtarded to think we all *essentially* spring from a magical "Big Bang" and monkeys having butt sex with fish frogs 🥴 Before the apparent "big bang" there was nothing but "dark matter", well what exactly created the 'ingrediants' to the Big Bang 🤷 How could it 'just be' there (in a sense), with no God no creator no nothing 🤷

Fair play to you. CS Lewis is one of the most famous atheists who turned Christian. He’d experienced personal loss as a child, then the horrors of fighting in the First World War. However, at Oxford University he became one their greatest debaters. He also became a Christian and simply said that eventually he gave in and admitted that “God was God”. Christians are imperfect like everyone else and also can be poor adverts for their faith. Michael is a great communicator and simplifies the message in a way people can relate to. CS Lewis’s book ‘Mere Christianity’ is 70 years old, but still is great philosophical explanation of Christianity. Worth checking out.

Since he was guilty and befitting of the justice enforced then God's redemptive purpose for his imprisonment is distinct from its justification. Thanks

@@makclio172 to me it's more then that. I feel like everything in science and the universe is connected somehow. I feel you can be positive or negative but being positive makes God the creator happy because He loves us and gifted us this beautiful life and our precious time here. It's hard to explain and more of a feeling. If people do good or only love God out of fear then that's the wrong reason. There's dignity and inner peace in being a good person and not hurting people and spreading joy and positivity and feeling love and enjoyment in an overall way and not a short high type way.

God bless you Michael… I have also been in prison as well, let me tell you it was tuff… I’m from the streets grew up gangbanging in Los Angeles always lead the life of crime since I was 16 yrs old, that’s all I ever knew to do was disowned by my family at age 16, been thru it all gun fights sold dope and got into many fist fights through out the years, one day when I serving time in my cell I picked up the Bible and started reading it, couldn’t let it go I read straight for 40 days… at the time I was facing 27 years for assault with a deadly weapon and robbery with gun including car jacking, I could honestly say that it was the lowest and darkest time in my life, I remember thinking to myself that it was over and I was probably going to get old and die in prison… the moment I chose to open up that bible it completely changed me for ever and my outlook in life, I accepted Christ in my heart long story short I fought my charges for two years and took it to trial and out of those 27 years I was facing I was given 4 yrs, there’s no doubt in my mind that was god he showed up and showed out… my life changed completely, I can really relate to your story and we have similar way of thinking, I truly gotta admit as a kid I was always fascinated with the Italian culture and the mob, I’m also a huge movie fan specially mob movies and anything having to do with criminology lol… people don’t understand how very similar italians and Mexicans are, we are basically the same, from my understanding your wife is Mexican so I’m pretty sure you know what enchiladas are with the red tomato sauce or the green sauce… I truly recommend you to watch the movie my family by francis ford Coppola great movie indeed, it showcases the Mexican people immigrating to the us for a better life and tells the story about a Mexican family here in America living in California… has to do also with growing up in poverty the criminal and gang lifestyle… it’s called MI FAMILIA in Spanish, I recommend for you to watch it with your wife and kids make sure you get you some great Italian or Mexican food pop it in your DVD player and enjoy… maybe you can do a movie review on the movie aswell want your outlook on it, with that being said Blessings to you and your whole family, glory be to God for giving us a second chance at life and allowing us to share our story GOD BLESS YOU 👑🔥🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏼💯💯

Mr. Franzese. I rarely make public comments. I'll just say this. You are intriguing and you make total sense. What an inspiration you are. You are honest and only speak the truth. I hope that one day i can meet you, shake your hand and thank you in person. Keep up the good work! I love all of your videos! Greg from Vancouver Canada.

..Be cool..and meditate on how your health-issue equates to a blessing..from God. Because it does. You lost "a thing" in order to gain "a better thing.." Just don't freak..tell God to take your pain, and to take over now. ..Believe. Believe. Believe. Your life here, now.., is a second's worth of "spiritual time," regarding each of our entire-existential moments. ..Stay strong, don't doubt, you're on the right path..this B.S. is all part of your plan. You are progressing; never doubt. God bless you.

Albert Einstein said to his assistant, Ernst Straus in 1949: "What most interests me is; did God have a choice in the creation of the world". NO! Exactly 50 years later the NYTimes ran their end of the mellennium series: "The Best of the Best". Dennis Overbye, MIT physics grad, wrote that from 1,000 to 2,000, Einstein's statement was the most profound question asked by science.The Abrahamic God of faith HAD NO CHOICE but to make this a universe without proof...or even preponderance of evidence. Otherwise he would not be perfect in demanding "faith". The universe screams out Jehovah in its refusal to remove suffering & death despite an all powerful God. "The presence of proof removes the possibility of faith" So would convincing evidence...it can be no other universe.

After everything you went trough it was God's plan that you come back to the world to help others.It have many peoples here in Europe (including myself here in Switzerland) who have improved their life because of the good advice you are providing , they are doing good things for the community and respect the law. I have found some relief with this pandemic just listening to you making us feel better and calm with this situatuion , you had to be verry wise to stay calm in the past facing long time in prison and you are sharing that wisdom now to help others. It's a big honnor to be a part of your channel and we are looking forward to spend some time with you every monday just like we are looking forward to see a member of our family or a good friend . Best regards from Switzerland

@@michaelfranzese I am a former gambler, I gambled on everything and won large sums of money, I always had money and I was a lover of money, but I was never happy, I ate at nice restaurants, bought nice clothes and things that made me happy in short moments but something was missing in my life and I know that now that it is God. I wanted to take my life but I wanted to give the Bible a chance, I had tasted most things in life so why not try the Bible. I will try to make the story short, God showed me a scripture that made me cry rivers: 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. MAMMON means money in Hebrew. I am now Born again Christian and I have not played since I was saved. Be well and Blessed.

Never plan on being in trouble. I just want to say one thing here. Thank you for your honesty. Thank you for sharing your feelings with us. You seem like a tough guy and it takes a lot to share your feelings and thoughts. This is the second video I've watched and I'm in awe of your story telling and in awe of you sharing what you felt during those difficult times. Thank you.
