Michael Ochotorena: From Gang Life to a Beacon of Hope

I found God and I developed a relationship with God, so that was a catalyst for me to change.
Imagine turning a life of chaos and crime into one of inspiration and hope. That's exactly what Michael Ochotorena, affectionately known as Ocho, has done. Once entangled in the dangerous world of gangs, heroin addiction, and loan sharking, Michael's past reads like a gritty crime novel. But his story doesn't end there. After years in and out of prison, Michael found a path to redemption that led him to become an actor, director, evangelist, and motivational speaker.
His most cherished roles now? Being a loving husband and father. In this episode, Michael opens up about the turning points that transformed his life. He shares how faith played a pivotal role in his recovery and how the unwavering support of his family helped him stay the course. If you're looking for a story that proves second chances are real and redemption is possible, Michael's journey will leave you inspired and hopeful.
