It's Our Faith': Hollywood Actors Leave L.A. to Put God First

Alexa and Carlos PenaVega are putting their faith and family first, explaining their phenomenal spiritual and familial journey in a recent interview with People Magazine.

The PenaVegas — stars of Pure Flix's "The Power Couple" — recently told People why they moved to Hawaii and away from Hollywood — and the impact it has had on faith and family.

"I've never been in one place for more than three or four months. I didn't know how badly we needed as a family to set our roots," Alexa told the outlet. "It's given us a chance to create those routines with our family. The L.A. mentality is work hard, play hard. We're all about working hard, but first and foremost, it's our faith and our family."

And this has long been the couple's approach to life. In fact, they first met at a Hollywood Bible study, and proceeded to continue putting faith at the center of their lives.

“We started our entire relationship grounded in our faith,” Carlos told People.

The PenaVegas' move away from Tinseltown came after they found themselves running around without a break and in desperate need of community. While they still have a robust Hollywood career, their lives are rooted in Hawaii, and they're loving the community they found.
