Unexpected Love Story of A Mobster And A Christian | Chazz Palminteri & Michael Franzese

In this eye-opening episode of "The Wise and The Wiseguy", Chazz and Michael delve into some questions that have rarely been asked. One of the most defining moments in Michael's life was finding his wife. If it weren't for her, he firmly believes he would have met a grim fate. They discuss the significant role she played in leading him away from a life of crime. The conversation touches on their early years together, Michael's time in prison, and the incredible impact his wife had on his transformation. Join us for this candid and deeply personal discussion you won't find anywhere else. 🎙️🗣️ #TheWiseAndTheWiseguy #DefiningMoments #LifeChangingDecisions #BehindTheScenes #PersonalTransformation

    EXACTLY, I want to speak to the Boss. When Jesus died on the cross, the veil was torn from top to bottom, giving us ALL direct access to Jesus Christ. Why worship the universe when you can worship the Creator of the Universe.

    I agree Chazz! Let’s have the boss in a sit down- I am pertaining to Michael’s wife. We want to hear how much toll it takes for a woman to stand up during those tumultuous years. Yes, Michael could have been giving the whole world to her but in return she had to deal with the fact that the guy did things as his duty to the mob. How strong love was because I’m telling you for a woman to stay like that with you- that’s love, that’s commitment. We want to know what was her frame of mind because how do you raise a family, kids, particularly while your husband is away and the things you would hear from other people. They have a completely different world so I salute her on that. It would be so interesting to hear!

    As a Roman Catholic I can say that my father always had the lord when I was growing up but upon his passing I lost him in denial, and as I age I understand the sacrifices we have to make to enter the kingdom knowingly and it’s only with true faith and sacrifice that one can enter.

    I feel your story Michael, on so many levels, I listen to Greg Laurie also, I was facing a court case and i felt hopeless like you said my world just crumbled around me just finding no reason to live. I remembered a sermon where Laurie preached about Elijah being persecuted and hopeless hiding in a cave asking God to take his life, And God told him to Go rest, and go out and serve him. I asked God to take away my hopelessness and bring joy in my life once again . God has always come thru for me and I Your life is inspiring and knowing that when you hit rock bottom the only place to look is up to the sky where the Lord sits on his throne. Keep inspiring other believers to trust Jesus

    I can relate to you Michael with love helping you find jesus I was a drug addict from when I was just a kid but in 2015 I prayed to meet a woman that was worth more than my past that very wish came true but like you hitting rock bottom before you resurfaced I had to do that also my angel left my life a few weeks after meeting her but within those 8 years I've turned my life around and the best of it I stay in the same town as my angel and we've seen each other from time to time but I know its only a matter of time till she comes back to stay for good so even though stephy is a atheist she help me find God so I believe my job is to help her find her faith again by showing how jesus saved my life with letting me meet her

    I love what Michael said about the difference between Vatholicd and Christians! I was baptized Catholic,but consider myself Christian because I don't believe in confessions to a priest and he can firgive you. I think I pray to God and he's the only one that can forgive me! I respect the priest and believe he's a man of God, but he isn't God. I married a Lutheran in a Lutheran church and the difference between Catholic and Lutheran is you Don't ask the priest gor forgiveness. Other than that, they are the same. Oh, also you don't have to get permission to divorce, like you do in the Catholic faith. Which I'm glad, because I was my husband's third wife! We did have a counciling session before the priest married us. We were married over ,40 years before he passed, and like Michael I was 24 and he was 17 years older. So there was doubts in peoples minds. He didn't have money and we had hard times, but I would fo it again in a heartbeat,!

    I love you two together! Michael, see Acts 3:19. Repent then and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out. Repentance is the key to forgiveness, which leads to spiritual renewal. This is my daily prayer for repentance: "Dear Lord, thank you for your forgiveness. Thank you for not abandoning ourselves to our mistakes. Help convict me of sin and to accept your mercy without shame. Thank you for your love and help me live out of that love today. In Jesus's Name. Amen. We absolutely can forgive ourselves as Jesus forgave us. God bless both of you.

    MICHAEL…. Being born again means to repent of all your sins, take up your cross and follow Christ. Being baptized is part of being obedient to Christ and it goes along with being born again. Your life completely changes when you’re born again and you desire to live a holy life. You desire to spend time in God’s word and obey what it says. LOVE YOUR SHOW and so thankful you are a brother in Christ. Just wanted your followers to know it’s more than baptism. 🙏🏻🥰🙏🏻
