Adoni Bezek was a bloodthirsty warlord who caused chaos throughout the land of Canaan. We read of his wickedness and also of his fateful downfall in the book of Judges.

Surrender in our lives really kicks in when we decide to set aside our own desires and plans in order to follow God's plans. In today's episode with Demitri and Karen we look at Peter's obedience to Christ and the amazing catch of fish. We also share two testimonies of the big blessings of surrendering to God.
