Actor Carlos PenaVega Praises God, Shares ‘Supernatural Peace’ He Experienced After Loss: ‘God Has Just Been Covering us’
Actors Carlos and Alexa PenaVega believe God has been faithful in their lives, expressing how they have found peace and contentedness even amid the unthinkable.
“God has just been covering us,” Carlos recently told CBN News.
The couple, who maintain a busy Hollywood career and just released their new movie, “Get Him Back for Christmas,” made headlines last year after the stillbirth of their fourth child, Indy.
Despite such a difficult challenge, they relied on the Lord to find strength and overcome.
Carlos recently recalled the tragic Saturday Indy passed away. As he and Alexa pondered whether to attend church in the aftermath — just one day later — they felt God calling them to do so.
“Me, and Alexa, and our three kids went to church that next day and we didn’t know anybody,” he said. “It was our second time ever going, and we were worshiping … and I’ll never forget that we’re standing in the middle … and Alexa and I are holding each other and we’re just bawling.”
In those moments, Carlos described finding a “supernatural peace,” as parishioners — people they barely knew after having recently moved to Tennessee — surrounded them and prayed over them.
“It was like God’s saying … ‘You’re not alone. I got you, and I have you here for a reason, and I’m gonna take you [through] this and make it into something amazing,’” he said.
Since the loss, the PenaVegas have seen God work in amazing ways.
“It’s been amazing to see, especially with Alexa, how much God has been working in her through this loss, because how do you live after that?” he said. “That we have over it … I just keep saying it’s … supernatural — like, God is just covering us.”
Carlos continued, “He has a reason for everything, and He takes whatever the enemy meant for evil and turned it to good.”
As CBN News previously reported, the couple went on to work on passion projects throughout the year. The film “Get Him Back for Christmas” offers a heartfelt romantic story — typical holiday fare.
But it also delivers much deeper themes about doing good, caring for others, and being inspired by genuine and unadulterated kindness. And it’s the first project to come from their new production company, Good for You Entertainment.
“We really believe in creating content that is good for you,” PenaVega said, noting the couple plan to continue creating powerful films and projects. “We feel very strongly that we need more content that is family-friendly. It doesn’t need to be PG-13 or R to be a good movie.”

‘No Surprise In This Godless Town’: Comedian Jokes at Golden Globes That No Stars Thanked God
Nikki Glaser, the comedian who played host to this year’s Golden Globes Awards in Beverly Hills, joked Sunday that none of the evening’s winners thanked God for their successes.
At the halfway point of the star-studded show, Glaser said the acceptance speeches had been “on fire” before looking at a tally of who winning celebrities had thanked upon receiving their prizes, with cast and crew members filling the No. 1 spot, followed by moms and “Access Hollywood” host Mario Lopez.
“God, creator of the universe, with zero mentions,” said Glaser. “[N]o surprise in this godless town.”
The 40-year-old celebrity is receiving praise for her hosting and mockery of Hollywood.
“I am not here to roast you tonight,” she told the crowd of famous A-listers. “I want you to know that. How could I, really? You are all so famous, so talented, so powerful.”
She continued, “I mean you could really do anything. I mean except tell the country who to vote for. But it’s OK, you will get them next time. If there is one. I’m scared.”
At another point during her performance Sunday night, Glaser poked fun at Catholicism.
“There were so many great movies this year, from ‘Wicked’ to ‘Conclave,’” said the comedian, who was raised Catholic. “Wait, that just gave me an idea.”
At that point, the lights went out and, when they came back on, Glaser was wearing a bishop’s hat and was holding a pink and gold glittery staff reminiscent of “Wicked.” She then began singing a parody of the song, “Popular,” from the musical.
“You will be pope-ular. You’re gonna be pope-ular. I’ll teach you some Catholic prayers,” she sang before abruptly stopping, pretending then to speak to someone through an earpiece: “Wait this sucks? This whole thing sucks? I’m embarrassing myself in front of Elton John?”

‘To God Be the Glory’: Denzel Washington Gets Baptized, Receives Minister’s License
Actor Denzel Washington took a major step in his walk with the Lord over the weekend, getting baptized and receiving his minister’s license.
The “Gladiator II” star participated in a water baptism at the Kelly Temple Church of God in Christ in Harlem, NY on Saturday, conducted by Archbishop Christopher Bryant.
Bryant shared that Washington attended the church as a young child and was “filled with the Holy Spirit after visiting another church with actor Robert Townsend in the 80’s.”
The First Jurisdiction Church of God in Christ Eastern New York livestreamed the special moment on Facebook.
The Academy Award-winning actor received a certificate of baptism and his minister’s license, which will allow him to become ordained in the future, TODAY reports.
“We celebrate the addition of Minister Denzel Washington into the clergy, having received his minister’s license in the Church of God in Christ today, in a truly uplifting moment,” read a Facebook post by Bryant.
Washington took a moment during the service to reflect on the milestone.
“In one week I turn 70,” he said. “It took a while, but I’m here.”
Washington later shared how his baptism fulfilled a “prophecy.” He recalled the words of a woman named Ruth Green, whom he met at his mom’s beauty parlor when he was 20 years old.
“She said, ‘Boy, you are going to travel the world and preach to millions of people,'” he said. “She wouldn’t even spell the word prophecy. My mother wrote the word prophecy…50 years later, look at God. If He can do this for me, there’s nothing He can’t do for you. The sky literally is the limit and there’s no limit to the sky.”
He also thanked his “loving, faithful wife” of 41 years, Pauletta Washington, who was in the congregation supporting him.
“To God be the glory. Hallelujah!” he told the congregation. “Anything I can do, I will do for this Church, the Almighty. I just want to be in that number when the saints go marching in.”
As CBN News has reported, Washington has become outspoken about his Christian faith over the last several years.
He previously shared that he gave his life to God several times early in life. He even had a supernatural encounter with the Holy Spirit, but it took a while before he understood the weight of his decision.
“Three times…I think we all go through that,” he said. “I was filled with the Holy Ghost and it scared me. I didn’t want to go this deep…I wanted to party. It was a supernatural, once-in-a-lifetime experience that I couldn’t completely understand at the time.”
As CBN News recently reported, the 69-year-old recently shared a supernatural story with reporters during a press tour for the “Gladiator II” film.
He recalled a divine encounter he had one day during his devotional time.
“I was sitting on a yacht listening to a song called ‘The Face of God.’ And nobody was up. I was in my prayer and meditation, reading my Bible. And I’m like ‘Lord, everybody can see Your face, I wanna see it…’ And while I said it, when I said, ‘I wanna see your face,’ I heard, ‘Look to your left.'”
“So I look to my left, and I look and I picked up my phone and I went {makes clicking sound}. And this is what I saw,” he said while handing his phone to the interviewer.
The photo on the phone showed a face in the sky. The shape of a mouth, a nose, and eyes are visible among the clouds.
Washington reiterated to the interviewer his purpose in life has little to do with making movies, but rather “to be an example, of the power, and wisdom, and grace, and mercy of God in my life.”
