Let us know what you thought of the show!

Jorge Valdes was one of America’s notorious drug lords, and one of the country’s most powerful men. He had so much power and influence he literally thought he was a god. And one day, the most unlikely of men challenged him to live by a different sword–the Word of God. Hear how he went from drug lord to following the Lord of all.

Part 2

Would he be able to walk away from a drug cartel? Hear what the karate instructor’s bold challenge was and how he planted the Word of God in Jorge for three years. Jorge’s second incarceration was preceded by a coming clean moment with the judge and followed by a providential floating Bible verse in his jail cell, and eventually he finds real meaning in life through the Bible and the savior, Jesus.
