Lori Loughlin - Celebrating Second Chances
We want to praise God for His hand on actress Lori Loughlin who was convicted in 2019 and sentenced to jail for the nationwide college admissions scandal. Lori was released from prison in Dec. 2020 and we have been praying for her throughout her journey. We are thrilled that she got a chance to fulfill her community service with the Christian organization Project Angel Food. We know the Lord loves her and has amazing plans ahead for her! Remember our God is a God of redemption, renewal and new beginnings and we are humbled and honored to serve Him!

Marriages in Hollywood Need Prayer!
We need to pray for the marriages in Hollywood. Our industry is known for being the 2nd top American industry with the highest divorce rate. (The # 1 industry is the military & police!) There have been too many Hollywood marriages that have ended this year (some after 20 years), so we need to pray for the enemy to stop stealing, killing and destroying relationships! With the spiritual warfare on marriages, families and healthy personal relationships, we need to get serious about praying for God to bring renewal, reconciliation, miraculous commitment and faithfulness in Hollywood Marriages. We know that HE CAN DO IT because He lovingly designed marriage!

Lawsuit over Michael Jackson Estate and Sony Music
Many of us are aware of the corruption and greed that can happen in the music industry. Recently, the Michael Jackson Estate and Sony Music ended a three year legal battle over 3 tracks on the posthumous album Michael, after it came to light that the songs were sung by a Michael Jackson impersonator. Will you pray with us for protection over musicians and artists, from anyone (even family) who would take advantage of their God-given gifts?

Family of Anne Heche
Please pray for the family, friends and fans of Emmy award-winning actress Anne Heche, who passed away aftter a tragic car accident, at the age of 53. Anne openly talked about her difficult childhood, haunted adulthood and her emotional struggles. We have to remember that everyone has a story and we need to ask people questions to find out someone’s story instead of just judging their actions. Anne needed more prayer and love her whole life and yet we didn’t know it because she was beautiful, successful and seemingly confident. We can make up for lost time as a community and pray for all the people who are impacted by Anne’s life and death, especially her two sons. Let's pray that they can find the peace, joy, strength, hope and love of Jesus that He offers to every one of us!

HBO Max Layoffs
Let’s pray for the recent merger of Discovery and WarnerMedia and the 70 HBO/HBO Max employees who have just been laid off as they shut down their streamer’s Reality division and are restructuring other departments. We need to pray for God’s wisdom to lead the new decision-makers and God’s peace and favor to fall on all of the people who have lost their jobs. And may the Christians in Hollywood be the ones to come along side the professionals who are struggling, questioning and afraid!

Thanks so much for praying with us and for us, in Hollywood. We depend on your prayers, holding up our arms and inviting God to come in and pour His unconditional love, hope, joy, peace and miracles on all of the people in Hollywood who are impacting the world!
We love you!
Karen and Kelry

"Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."
-- Ephesians 5:1-2

“Most of us were taught that God would love us if and when we change. In fact, God loves you so that you can change. What empowers change, what makes you desirous of change is the experience of love. It is that inherent experience of love that becomes the engine of change.”
-- Richard Rohr

HPN YouVersion Weekly Devotional: Simplicity
Oh, how complicated and stressful our lives can be! Yet God tells us He wants us to live simpler, more peaceful lives. He MAKES us lie down in green pastures, which shows we’re not very good at it on our own. Let’s spend this week seeking simplicity in our lives and be free of the things that are weighing us down. He’s offering us a simple life. Let’s accept it!

Be a Part of a Survey About Hollywood!
What makes a film a success at the box office? Is it just the star power of a popular actor or actress? Is it a particular genre or MPA rating? One theory is that films which engage the audience more and have characters that the audience more closely identifies with do better at the box office. One of our HPN members, Robert Hall, is conducting doctoral research in this area to add to our knowledge about the factors that make a film successful, and YOU can be a part of this research by completing a brief online survey.
