Welcome to The Untold Story, everybody.

I'm Martha McCallum.

Great to have you with us today.

And I'm very pleased to be joined by Jim Wahlberg, who is an author, a producer. His book is called The Big

Hustle, a Boston Street Kids story of addiction and redemption. It is a beautiful story that we're

going to get into a bit today. He's also the producer of the film, Mother Teresa, No Greater

Love, that came out in 2022.

So, Jim, welcome.

Great to have you with us today.

Oh, thank you so much.

It's such an honor to be here.

Well, you know, I saw you on with Laura Ingram, and then my family and I are doing

Pray 40 on Hallow, which is a daily lent meditation, and it's incredible

and you're involved in it, your brother Mark's involved in it, Jonathan Rumi, who I've interviewed

several times and gotten to know a little bit. So the other day was your day, and you gave your story of surrender and how you surrendered

to God.

And my son, who's 23 years old, texted me, wow, did you guys listen to this yet?

And so we all actually, you know, listened to it throughout the day and we're chiming in on it.

So maybe I'm sure a lot of people didn't hear it.

So maybe you could just start by telling us, obviously you're part of the amazingly talented Walberg family, so creative and do so much uh to sort of contribute to uh to our

culture so tell us a little bit about yourself jim well uh let's see i'm i'm one of nine children
