Hollywood ChangeMakers

By Hollywood Prayer Network

Welcome to Hollywood ChangeMakers, a counter-culture podcast. This podcast is for creatives, visionaries and culture-shifters who believe in the power of prayer, and want to hear the Christian perspective on the current narrative and events in Hollywood. We believe that our participation in the conversation creates CHANGE, so we're offering an insider's view of what Jesus is doing in the Arts, Media, and Entertainment Industry from a Kingdom perspective. We present a cultural solution because we are Hollywood ChangeMakers.
