From Gangs, Islam, and Prison Life to Jesus Christ | Powerful Testimony

What happens when a life marked by violence, gangs, drugs, and rage encounters the transforming power of Jesus Christ?

In this powerful episode of The Deep End Podcast, Francisco Palmarin shares his raw, unfiltered testimony—growing up in the streets of Boston, holding dead friends in his arms, running with gangs, and being pulled into the Nation of Islam… until everything changed.

🔥 This is a story of redemption, generational breakthrough, and the power of the Gospel.

Now, Francisco is stepping into the public square—running for school committee in North Attleboro, MA—to fight for the next generation and stand for truth.

👉 If you’ve ever wondered:

* Can God really change anyone?

* Is there hope after a broken past?

* What does real transformation look like?

This conversation will challenge and inspire you.
