Charlie Cifarelli is one of the rare individuals alive today that has seen it all.  After being born into hell and taking a step further down in the into the next level, Charlie was able to rise from the depths and sit in purgatory while he found some sort of balance. After a successful career as a corrections officer, then as the owner of a large trash business, Charlie was finally able to find his way into the light through a one eyed four-legged animal name Star.  There is a bit of Charlie’s story in us all. Whether it’s a contentious relationship with our parents, addiction, compassion  spirituality, or looking for love in all the wrong places, Charlie touches on so many basic human emotions that it is difficult to not feel connected to him.  In this episode you will see how Charlie found salvation in the most unlikely form after a lifetime of suffering.

Pastor Ron Lewis has been in the Christian ministry for over 30 years. Out of the ashes of the tragedy of 9/11 Every Nation‘s church was born from Pastor Lewises vision. His word of hope and community resonated through his belief in serendipitous life events that bring us closer to our faith. Reshaping tragedy has become a hallmark of how Pastor Lewis shapes his congregation’s vision of what you true belief should become. Today you will find him traveling the country spreading his word through speeches and his writing endeavors. His recent book Miracles in Manhattan gives us a unique look into how we turned suffering into success.

From a childhood in a neighborhood where the ending story could go either way, Mike Codella chose to take a career path to enforce the law rather than break it.  Needing a change, Mike joined the NYPD in 1983 and never looked back.  Truly believing in his life’s mission, to make a difference, he matriculated up the ladder in the dangerous world of undercover work in Alphabet City and Red Hook, Mike took to the street to leave them much safer than he left them.  Working on high profile cases such as Eton Paetz to the infamous Son of Sam the true love for Law Enforcement shines through with every soft spoken word. 

Now through his Brazillian Jui-Jitsu school, the Codella Academy to his book Alphaville 1988, Mike continues to make a difference in lives into his retirement.

We don’t realize how difficult a job police work can be. The difficult calls, the stress on their
bodies, police were can take a toll on your physical and mental health. On this episode we
welcome back Mike DePalma to discuss the suffering of police. All three of us know too well the difficulties, the highs, the lows, and the Suffering that police work involves. In the studio we deal with this topic and much the same way we deal with most topics, through laugh and humor just as we did when we were on the job.

Part 2 the conclusion

Elvin Hernandez found a dream career that he had chased his whole life.  Just as his dream was being fulfilled and the mountain was climbed, Elvin's life changed in the blink of an eye.  In May of 2015, at the residence of a cousin, the dream would be crushed.  After a police involved shooting, the darkness took over and snatched Elvin's career.  Down the rabbit hole he went ultimately leaving him alone and at the end of his rope.  It wasn't until he was able to see that there is beauty on the other side of Suffering that Elvin was able to emerge from the darkness.  He is here to tell his story.  His book has been written, but others in need may still have a few chapters to write, and learn from this touching story.
