This week on The Upload, host Brooke Taylor and Pastor Mark Evans sit down with Carlos PenaVega and Alexa PenaVega for one of their most vulnerable conversations yet — opening up about child loss and what it truly means to trust God when the unthinkable happens. Known for their early careers in Big Time Rush and Spy Kids, Carlos and Alexa share how their faith has evolved far beyond platform and performance.

What begins as a conversation about marriage, discipline, and spiritual consistency takes a profound turn as they recount the loss of their daughter, Indy — and the supernatural peace that met them in their deepest grief. They speak candidly about the tension of calling something the hardest thing you’ve ever faced — while also recognizing how God used it to deepen their faith, strengthen their marriage, and anchor their perspective in heaven.

This episode is a powerful reminder that God is not just the God of the mountaintop — He is present in the valley. And sometimes the refinement we fear is the very place we encounter His peace most fully.

Listen for an honest, hope-filled conversation about grief, surrender, and learning to live without fear — even after loss.
