Carlos Pena was living the classic rock star life a few years ago: He was out there on the road for several weeks of shows and spent night after night dedicated to partying, living fast, drinking, and even using drugs.
But when all the partying was done — when he didn't have any outside stimuli — the darkness of his own mind began to seep into him. He began to rely on substances in order to sustain a "normal" life. He began to let that darkness consume him and take over his life until eventually he lost all control and hit "rock bottom."
But in his darkest moment he went to a church with his best friend, and when he walked into the church, he wanted to transform. He went to a bible study and a week later found his faith and his wife. In one week his whole life had changed forever, and of all the songs to listen to, "Amazing Grace" seems the obvious choice!
Though it's taken a lot of hard work, and a lot of spiritual healing, Carlos and his "Dancing with the Stars" partner Witney Carson danced to an absolutely gorgeous a cappella version of the famous hymn.
Overcoming addiction is hard for many people, and we're overjoyed that this young man found the light and began to see all with the help of the church and his own inner strength.
Please SHARE this beautiful dance if you're happy that Carlos has found the light!
