Pedro loves to write, and he loves coming to the Bible with honest questions and digging until he finds the answers. A pastor's kid born in Brazil and raised in the U.S. from age 13, he grew up studying the Word daily and has been a youth leader since 17. Many of his articles start the same way his small group lessons do: with a question worth asking and a passage worth studying. He founded The Honest Bible to help others do the same. He's married to Larissa, and they have two kids, Aurea and Arthur.
Favorite verse: Philippians 1:21
