In the past few years, a shocking number of horrific testimonies have surfaced from former child actors about how the entertainment industry really treats kids growing up in Hollywood. From Jennette McCurdy's "I'm Glad My Mom Died" bestselling memoir to the viral "Quiet On Set" documentary outlining Nickelodeon producer Dan Schneider’s tenure at the network & his impact on Amanda Bynes, Drake Bell, & more, people have been left with powerful questions about the beloved actors they grew up watching and how their lives have been impacted by what’s perceived to be a terrifying, dark environment.

Yet... in the era of "child-star-turns-crazy," two former child actors stand out as beacons of light, hope, family, and faith–Carlos and Alexa PenaVega. From the set & stage of Big Time Rush and the red carpet of Spy Kids has emerged a kind, authentic, down-to-earth family determined to hold true to their values, no matter what the industry throws at them.

Today, Carlos & Alexa join us on the show to share what it was really like growing up in the entertainment industry, how they found faith and each other in their journey toward adulthood, and what their role in entertainment looks like now after they’ve spoken out about their Christianity and pro-life values. They also share the powerful testimony behind their new book, Joy Isn’t Canceled: What Grief Taught Us About Pain, Peace, and Purpose, about losing their newborn daughter Indy to stillbirth just released this week.

You’ll leave today’s conversation feeling hopeful, inspired, and deeply moved by their steadfast faith and joy in such a turbulent world–and needing to binge-watch your favorite shows and movies of childhood all over again.
