From Fisherman to Foundation - In the days when Jesus walked the earth, Peter walked beside Him — brash, loyal, deeply human. Known first as Simon, he was a fisherman by trade and a man of action by temperament. Jesus renamed him "Peter," the rock, foretelling the transformation that grace would bring.
Key Experiences: Walking on water, confessing Jesus as Messiah, cutting off the soldier's ear, denying Jesus three times, and his restoration by the lakeside.
Peter was not born a rock, but became one through Christ's transforming grace. His story is one of faith forged in failure, love, and calling.
Leadership in Crisis: When Israel had no king and enemies oppressed them, God raised up a woman to lead. From her palm tree court, she dispensed justice and called Barak to victory through divine strategy.
A leader who combined wisdom, courage, and divine insight when strong leadership was desperately needed.
