From Rock Bottom to Renewal: Marty Angelo's Journey on Rewired Radio
“When you're talking about values and morals and looking for the fruit of the spirit, which was love and acceptance, and patience and long-suffering, and these things that the world tries to just give you and pretend, and they kind of counterfeit everything that god has for somebody- oh, just drink more beer, you'll get more girls if you just watch the television. And you know- and I feel like that's so much more of an empowering way to live- when you say: oh hey, you have a choice.”
