How Actress Alexa PenaVega Found Jesus, Saw Life Transformed: 'God Just Kept Calling'

Actress Alexa PenaVega is on a mission to live for Jesus in a self-obsessed culture. She and her husband, Carlos, co-authored their new memoir, "What If Love Is the Point?: Living for Jesus in a Self-Consumed World." "God has always called my heart, ever since I was little," PenaVega told CBN's Faithwire. "I just always felt his presence and I've always felt His peace." The actress, who grew up in a home where she learned about Jesus but wasn't deeply rooted in the Bible, said that, over time, God began calling her closer to Him. Here is her journey to Jesus.

Just from the first 30 seconds of conversation. I was already impressed with Alexa during the interview...She is an attractive, very well spoken woman who I'm sure is a great mother and wife!! I wish her, husband and their children the best!!

Glad to hear this, Alexa. One of my childhood icons is now a fellow sister in Christ. ❤️🙏

Without receiving JESUS into our lives and having relationship with HIM we are nothing.

[@theflyesthippy]

Lord. Today I declare a great new day for me as I'm taking my spirituality more serious and to live in Your Word instead of just reading it. Lord, I humbly ask of You if You can please help me obtain a meal Lord. It's been rough, I haven't eaten in a week, and I don't want to rummage thru trash and dumpsters anymore Lord. Father God, pls protect the world but please help me Lord. I'm famished and desperate

[@christian2085]

Thank you so much, Alexa, for pursuing GOD, because HE HAS NOT BEEN KNOWN TO HIS OWN CHILDREN IN HIS TRUTH AND LOVE!!! And, what you said at the close of this beautiful interview was so important too, that knowing GOD is not hard, because JESUS HAS RE- ESTABLISHED OUR POSITION OF PURITY IN OUR FATHER’S PRESENCE, SO THAT WE CAN JUST LIVE AND BREATHE AND HAVE HIS JOYOUS LIFE IN US AS HIS CHOSEN HEIRS, EVERYDAY!!! “HALLELUJAH TO THE KING OF KINGS AND ALL THE LIFE THAT REAL LOVE BRINGS !!!”♥️👑♥️

[@annetten.8667]

Alexa , GOD bless you and your family!! Awesome career, awesome to see your a child of GOD/ JESUS!! Good for you!!🙌 walking with JESUS is everything!! Peace be with you and la familia❤

[@riahnumerouss6504]

Yes, indeed God is amazing and awesome our Savior and everything!

[@selisagrimes6065]

Alexa you are so awesome!!! Yes, your relationship with God and how you interacted with strangers was so "God" when you were at Carlos' show in Jacksonville, FL. You both are such an inspiration to me. I can't wait to read your book.

[@yellowpink9962]

One of my most favorite movies is: To Kill A Mockingbird" I love the performances of each of the actors. I treasure the performance of Mary Badham as "Scout". Today I saw a beautiful movie on youtube entitled :"Run The Wild Fields". The child actor in the movie, was Alexa Vega. Her performance captivated me and for me was equal to that of Scout/Mary Badham . I had not heard of Alexa Vega before, so did some research. So happy that little girl turned into this beautiful adult. Thanks for such a great performance in a movie of Integrity. LOVE is the point. God/Jesus/Holy Spirit are the CONNECTION.

[@aleroolorogun7671]

this is amazing Alexa thank you i didn't know I needed this but i did !!! i've been a fan of hers since spy kid so hearing this is amazing

[@AlohaYeshua]

God bless you Sister Alexa! Keep sharing the Gospel! Come like a child like FAITH IN JESUS NAME!!!

[@mayc8674]

I hear a lot of ppl. say they feel a void. I never have felt a void inside of me. I ,similar to Alexa, i feel God inside of me. I never feel alone or desolate. I can imagine ppl. who feel a void must be similar to when i miscarried my first pregnancy. I didn't know i had miscarried but i felt a void where the baby was supposed to be growing. It felt empty and when they did the ultrasound sure enough it had no fetus. I had miscarried. I ended having kids couple of years later though. They give so much meaning to my life and gives me a ton of happiness to see how they bring so much meaning to the World. Amen!

[@paulmartin5424]

nice one alexsa I'm also a Christian and yes I have a back story but when I decided to give my life to god I was so impowering yes Holly wood is so fake each to their own but I'm learning as a Christian to getting to listen to Christian music and yes I still have floors in my faith but I'm human amen ✝️✝️👍

[@paulmartin5424]

God is in the Center - Doctrine Matters!!

[@elizabethramsey7706]

Wow / I just watched their hallmark mystery movies - ❤ so fun ✝️

[@paulmartin5424]

Hello my faith based Christian family I'm going back to church yay please pray for me amen ✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏

[@anacanales9722]

Whao, finding the right community. That's is so important in as a christian, yet so hard to find. If you want to further your relationship with Christ and fullfil your purpose you need to find people who believe what you believe and who want to grow in Christ. That has been my problem for years. Finding and connecting to the right community. I love this message. Praying God keep using people like you 🙏

[@godschosen414]

I think it’s good, but I also think we need to not compromise in a world that is censored to the truth. That is important.

[@MrKingcarella23]

all this talk about people finding Jesus, no Jesus found. Jesus is the initiator! Btw Alexa was my childhood crush, loved spy kids and I'm elated that she has professed faith in Christ

[@brandahmessenger433]

Hey girl … nice stand

[@marietepper724]

💙💚🖤🙏

[@abbydrawss]

Great! Now she needs to learn deliverance XD

[@austinjacob6007]

SPY KIDS!!!

[@discobikerAndRosie]

Secular movie projects ate ok if the parts glorify God. In other words, family friendly. God bless.

[@williamoarlock8634]

Christians cannot 'love others' outside their particular flock/sect.

[@KYRPopJoe]

Deeply untrue. A sinner saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus gives his grace to Everyman. Yet hypocrites are grown in the ignorance of their sinfulness in their own comparison to the nasty world they consider themselves righteous thus they are saved by their own righteousness. Hypocrisy is the leaven of the Pharisees. Seek the true Jesus Christ he forgives you and gives you eternal salvation. Rebellion against him is a deep ignorance. Peace with you
