Former Mob Boss - "The Mafia Destroyed My Family" | Michael Franzese 163

In this episode, I spoke with @Michael Franzese . Michael is a former mobster and member of the Colombo Crime Family. However, after being part of the Mob for more than twenty years, Michael chose to completely change his life, in large part because of Christianity.

Together Michael and I discussed the ritual of becoming a Made Member in the Mob, Michael's wife bringing into Christianity, the growing mistrust of government today, the Acts of the Apostles and Jesus, and much more.
