Robert Borelli lived a life of crime. Involved with the mob in New York City, he spent most of his life in and out of prison, was involved in drugs, and concealed crimes. That all came to a head one day when he cried out to God with an ultimatum.

"I said, 'You better have somebody kill me or change me,'" he told "The Prodigal Stories Podcast." "I was crying like a little baby. I can't live with this pain anymore. It broke my heart, just shattered my heart in pieces."
