Growing up as the middle child amongst nine kids, film producer, and screenwriter Jim Wahlberg's childhood was interesting, to say the least -- but it was during his adolescence that a world of addiction and crime would lead him down a dark path, ending him up in prison. After years of falling away from his family, battling his demons, and feeling like there was no hope, he found it in the place he least expected: in Christ. This Good Friday, Mark Wahlberg's brother Jim joins Martha to discuss how he chronicles his tumultuous journey to finding Jesus in his new book, The Big Hustle: A Boston Street Kid's Story of Addiction and Redemption, and how he was able to reshape his skewed perception of Christianity to discover that Jesus' love knows no bounds.  Follow Martha on Twitter: @MarthaMacCallum Learn more about your ad choices.

Legalization of recreational marijuana is a bad idea for Ohio. Vote NO on Issue 2.  A recent study finds marijuana use can lead to widespread health issues, including high rates of depression, poor sleep quality, addiction, and for pregnant women it can cause harm to their babies in the womb. The Daily Mail recently examined several medical studies into marijuana use. In Denmark, researchers found someone with cannabis use disorder was 4 times more likely to be diagnosed as bi-polar. Elsewhere, there have been many anecdotal reports of high-potency marijuana vapes causing psychotic breaks and suicidal thoughts. Marijuana is legal for recreational use in 21 US states and Washington DC. Vice President of Community Engagement and Global Goodwill at Evoke Wellness Drug and Alcohol Rehab, Jim Wahlberg, joins to share what he is seeing on the front lines regarding marijuana use and what sorts of health and mental problems he is seeing. Wahlberg discusses what it signals for marijuana use in the US that it is legal for recreational use in 21 states and for medicinal use in 40 states and whether there is any way to reverse some of these laws. He explains whether there are any circumstances where marijuana can be good. -EWTN NEWS- Laura Strietmann from Cincinnati Right to Life and Author Steve Feazel-America in the Balance Part 2 It's an all-out effort from the right-to-life community to defeat Issue 1, the abortion ballot issue on the November ballot.
