Beto Pena has been a dear friend for over 40 years. Yes, it's true. We met at Red Bird Skateland in Duncanville, TX. He along with his sister, Dantia, my best friend Julie and Keith were the talk of the town, especially because of the skating competition that was held each summer at various skating rinks! I always said if they would have put their efforts into ice skating they could have been professionals or even in the Olympics. Seriously!
From back in the day, to now, Beto has grown into an amazing human being, becoming a Pastor, Counselor, Author and even served in the United States military as a Navy helicopter rescue swimmer. The best part about him is that his character has never changed since I first met him. His fun loving personality, sincere kindness for everyone he meets and his warm and handsome looks just make him easy to love....and truly everyone does.
I am so grateful that Beto shared his story with me to in turn share with all of you, the listeners of Amazing Grace Talk in hopes to bring clarity, value and peace to anyone who may be troubled about their identity or sexual identity.
"He is really stepping out in faith, walking in obedience to fill God's nudge that he has been feeling for many years." With the way society views sexuality, he felt it was his duty to share his story. We pray that everyone who hears this message will listen with an open heart and allow God to speak to you through revelation, love and hope!
From Beto:
Think of a time in your life, a situation or string of events, where you had no idea how you would make it through or what the next step would be. You may be going through a trial at this time, as life is never a smooth journey. However, as you look back on that the original event, realize that you made it through, more than likely there are lessons or ideas that emerged that could help avoid similar situations.
