Episode 9 - Karen Covell: Creating a Global Ministry - Hollywood Prayer Network

When Karen Covell founded the Hollywood Prayer Network, she did it out of holy frustration—frustrated that the church hated Hollywood, and Hollywood hated the church. As a producer, author, and woman of deep faith, Karen saw the entertainment industry not as a lost cause, but as Nineveh: a place ripe for redemption.

In this powerful episode, Karen shares the courageous journey of starting and sustaining a global prayer movement in one of the most influential—and misunderstood—industries in the world. From painful early conversations to a network that now spans 170 chapters in 42 countries, Karen reveals what God is doing behind the scenes in Hollywood, why artists are modern-day prophets, and why Christians must follow their calling even when it’s uncomfortable. With wisdom, conviction, and grace, she challenges listeners to rethink influence, culture, and the power of prayer to transform hearts—and ultimately, the stories that shape the world.
