They called me Sammy the Bull. Yeah, that Sammy. I ran with the streets, led one of the most powerful crime families in America… but none of that gave me true peace 🕊️.
I always believed in God but this time, it was different. This time, I surrendered ✝️.
From the shadows of organized crime to stepping into the waters of baptism, my journey is one of redemption, hope, and God’s relentless love. In this powerful testimony, I open up about the pain, the struggle, the doubts, and the moment everything changed.
If you’re searching for hope… if you feel too far gone… I promise you—you’re not. 🙌 God’s grace is BIGGER than your past. I’m living proof. 💯

Amen brother!
Susan Atkins who murdered Sharon Tate turned her life to Christ and I look forward to meeting her.
Kenneth Bianchi was one of the Hillside Stranglers. And what he and his cousin did are unspeakable unthinkable acts to young women.
He is now a Seventh day Adventist in prison.
Even King Nebuchunezzar is going to be in heaven! He authored a book in Daniel, most people don’t even realize that. Daniel chapter 4. A bad wicked king, so evil, God sent him out to pasture for 7 years and eat grass. Insane. But God saved even him and he acknowledged the God of Israel.
There are going to be prostitutes, killers, robbers, etc in heaven.
Ironically, the hardest people for Christ to save were religious people. That should tell us what bad religion does. Grace. It’s amazing.

Pluto TV is now streaming Coda The Death of Michael Corleone which is the re-edit of The Godfather III.
Although Michael did confess his sins including having Fredo killed, whether his confession was a genuine effort to seek redemption as purported here by Sammy can be debated.
His sister Connie chided Michael when he revealed his confession to her.
I read that as he was looking for support to further seek a path of redemption and was rebuffed.
The end of the re-edit as noted by Coppola in the introduction was different than the original.
In my view, the ending was more ambiguous.
I saw the original Godfather III multiple times and this was my first viewing of the re-edit.
I always thought The Godfather III was underrated.
Jay Cocks, a critic for Time Magazine back in the day called the first two Godfathers an unparalleled blend of art and commerce.
Godfather III may not have been of the same rank as the first two, but considered on its own was still an exceptional film.
“Yes, I disagree with much of Roman Catholic theology”
Then what are you doing commenting on a post that talks about Catholicism?
All all due respect, and all.
Go away.
Happy Easter...
He Is Risen !
I listened to Sammy the Bull’s podcast recently. He’s a fantastic storyteller. I wish God’s abundant mercy for him and for all.
Jesus doesn’t agree. Pretty much all your sins are washed away. He didn’t die on the cross so only some things get washed away.
This guy is a murderer in the first-degree, several times over. He belongs in Hell.
Former Mafia bigwig Michael Franzese and his wife had been praying for Sammy.
And if people like him can never get salvation, that means they are condemned to walk the earth without salvation. That gives them no hope, no way to become good. That’s bad for everybody, and it’s not what Jesus gave us.
Uh. Your response was to me
Thank you now..
So you disagree with god?
Praise God! Prayer works!
Amen. It’s always better to set emotion aside and instead of what I think or feel to go with what God said.
Amen thank you. I agree with u
Salvation doesn’t work that way.
And all the people said amen!
I started reading that and knew right off it was blind willie- big fan of his-
he was blinded when his mother threw lye at his father during an argument, and it burned his throat too- giving him that distinctive gravelly voice of his.
One of his songs was sent into outer space in hopes of aliens hearing it and responding- the song is “Dark was the Night” and features his slide guitar heavily. Many singers and songwriters admired his work.
Interesting. Thank you. For me one of the most thought provoking scenes was Michael alone recalling what was . The family of his Dad, mom, siblings. Many gone.
I find myself doing that now sometimes. It’s haunting if a person is outside Christ. But so much hope if he and his family was in Christ.
The tomb is empty amen. John Lennon’s ...no vacancy. It’s occupied..
