Actress Alexa PenaVega is outspoken regarding her faith and her stance on the sanctity of life. However, she admits that she once hesitated to share these convictions publicly until she found a supportive community.
“There are a number of individuals in our industry who share similar values and beliefs,” PenaVega mentioned to Live Action, a pro-life organization, when asked whether other celebrities had confided in her about holding pro-life views.
PenaVega shared that finding a community of fellow believers empowered her to be more open about her beliefs.
“I remember a time when I was afraid to even mention the name of Jesus, but once I started connecting with like-minded people, I realized I wasn’t alone,” the former SPY KIDS star explained. “If you’re hesitant to step forward, surround yourself with a supportive community, and it will make all the difference.”
In another interview, the mother of four elaborated on the importance of advocating for the unborn and supporting women facing unplanned pregnancies.

“Many of these women simply need to feel supported. They feel lost and isolated,” she shared with Lila Rose, the president of Live Action. “They feel like they have nowhere to turn, and sometimes their boyfriends or husbands are pressuring them towards a decision they don’t want to make.”
“They need to know that there are people who care and are willing to support them,” the actress emphasized.
PenaVega also addressed the common argument that the pro-life movement only cares about babies before they are born.
“They want to help you after you’ve given birth. It is a true family. It’s a community. It’s a warm embrace. There are so many wonderful organizations, like yours [Live Action], that support women long after childbirth and help their children, help them, help their family situation. And it does take a community.”
The Miami native openly shares biblical encouragement on social media, demonstrating her faith beyond her pro-life stance.
She recently posted this prayer on Instagram:
Jesus we need you
Stir up love in our hearts.
Fill us with the fruits of the Spirit.
Give us faith over fear.
And abundance of grace.
May we be so consumed by your love that there isn’t room for anything else.
Bring your supernatural peace that surpasses all understanding.
May more believers follow PenaVega’s example by boldly sharing their faith and standing up for biblical truths. As Paul wrote in Ephesians 3:12, “In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.”
