It’s nice to hear Christians talking open and honestly about their faith without fear of being shunned. From a Muslim brother.

Noel Gugliemi is half Italian and half Mexican and such an underrated actor! What an interview!

[Ranbutch]

I’m Mexican and Italian myself. Big fan of Noel.

[simmonstherd]

I like that he lets his guess speak, he’s not like other host who are always cutting people off.

[CaliforniaMexico-]

Please get Danny Trejo and more of the American Me and Blood In Blood Out movie actors

[carloscasanova]

It's great seeing a Mexican role model. We definitely need more remodels for the Hispanic community thanks for having him in your show.

[sherrihinton]

I love that "Gangster Christians". God bless you gentlemen

[stevenashurst]

This brother is sincere, funny and honest. Grateful he survived the insanity and tells the tale with humility. Thank you

[LisaNaomi]

I had no idea he was a Believer! Praise the LORD!♥️

[adrianavaleria]

He was 13 years old when his parents just packed up and left!!!!😢😢😢This crushes my heart! God bless you man you deserve all the best in life 🙏❤

[jeremyrench]

This dude needs bigger roles. Cause he was awesome in training day. Everyone in that scene is a star including Noel.

[ericruiz]

[sergiopiparo]

I never knew he was half Italian thanks Michael for this amazing interview

[franciscolugo]

Michael, this is the most down to earth interview I've listen to. Noel is sincere and not full of himself like most of your guest. I hope he shares his experience with young people who need to hear his life story and have that second to think about who they are and where they are in life and the light turns on.

This was a solid interview...I think I met Noel once before at a Christian Rap concert in San Diego...he gave my girlfriend some very sound advice about acting...when he described having someone pray for him, first just the two of them alone, & then joined by other Christians in prayer--it gave me chills, because that is how it happened for me as well...I was at a Panera Bread, sitting outside, nearby Rock Church San Diego, when a gang ministry group (God's Warriors) all rolled up to have their weekly Monday evening bible study...they chose to have their meeting outside at Panera Bread that week, because Rock Church was closed for the President's Day holiday...although, I was just there to eat a meal outside, & be left alone, I ended up listening to their meeting & I stayed for the entire two hour meeting...afterwards, I returned the bible that one of the guy's had lent to me (when he saw I was listening in on their meeting)...I thanked him & I told him that I really needed to hear what they had been talking about that night, because my wife of 21 years had just passed away 2 weeks prior, & I was really hurting...that's when this guy asked me if he could pray for me, something no one had ever done for me before...I said ok, & he put his hand on my shoulder & said a brief prayer for me...then, when he was done praying, some of the other members approached us, because they saw him praying for me, & I was a stranger to them...he told them I was hurting, & then they asked if they could pray for me as a group...I said ok, & then they all laid hands on my shoulders & they prayed for me...afterwards, I asked to join their ministry, even though I told them that I had never been in a gang...they said that I was welcome to become a member of their ministry...that was 8 years ago & I am still part of that ministry, although it has now somewhat disbanded...I started attending Rock Church back then as well, & I still am a member of Rock Church...Pastor Miles McPherson is the lead Pastor of Rock Church...he's from New York & is a former NFL defensive backfield player...being from Philadelphia originally, & a former football player, I can relate to Pastor Miles on a lot of levels...someone in my gang ministry came up with the phrase, "Saved, not Soft" They even printed up a bunch of t-shirts saying that, & sold them for $25...a few of the guys in the ministry had done lengthy prison sentences in California...many of them were former hard care gang bangers...some had changed their lives around when they were incarcerated...anyway, this interview brought me back to a very important moment in my life...so, thanks Michael & Noel

[daviddesintonio]

Love Michael for this session. And Noel thank you for being with God. I believe in your words. Don't ever stop believing in Jesus.

[nickharmer]

I really enjoyed listening to the both of you. Being in England I didn't know your guest very well, except as a convincing Chicano gangster called Hector. Made for great listening. Respect to both of you. Bless up 👊

[HubertSanchez]

Great talk can't wait to hear part 2. 🇲🇽&🇮🇹✊♥️ Salute

[hman]

[noelcurtis]

Amen. You right, people do need to hear this stuff, the testimonies. Guys like y’all, anyone actually, the testimony. Love y’all. Y’all some real ones .
