Ep 1421 | Carlos & Alexa PenaVega Open Up to the Robertsons About How Loss Changed Them Forever

Movie & TV stars Carlos and Alexa PenaVega open up about finding faith at some of the lowest points in their lives and putting their marriage ahead of Hollywood expectations. They share a candid discussion with Jase, Al, and Zach about why Hollywood and the heartland of America often seem worlds apart when it comes to authenticity, family values, and understanding what audiences actually want. They also reflect on the devastating loss of their daughter and the supernatural peace they experienced through grief, while Al connects their story to the Robertson family’s own transformation.
