Hollywood…

Known to all worldwide as a place that creates movies. The place that shares the stories of our day, and creates the narrative of our generation. But, how much of what is created shares our biblical world view? Unfortunately, not much.

In my book, “Hope for Hollywood: Reclaiming the Soul of Film and TV,” I share the lies that are often found in the content that is created for film and TV, and prayer strategies, and content creation strategies, to tell the truth instead of the lies.

In YWAM, we understand that Christians are called to disciple the nations no matter what our profession. We are all familiar with the strategy that the Lord showed our YWAM Co-Founder, Loren Cunningham, regarding the Seven Spheres of Influence strategy over 50 years ago. In 1975, Loren began to develop strategies with a mandate to bring Godly change to a nation by reaching its seven spheres of societal influence. He concluded that in order to truly transform any nation with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, these seven facets of society must be reached. Part of that strategy, for YWAM, was to organize The University of the Nations into College Departments that would each focus on one of the Seven Spheres.

We believe that each of us has a calling on our lives from God to have our occupations on at least one of the Seven Spheres. For some, it will be an occupation on the church/religious Sphere. For many of us, we will be living our Christian lives while performing our occupation on one of the other Spheres – including the Spheres of Arts /entertainment, or Media/Communications.

We also believe that by strategically praying in these areas, we, as Christians, can bring about widespread societal transformation. Through our prayers, we can see God’s will manifest in these influential areas of society. We believe that our prayers can shape our culture and bring revival and the societal change that God desires.

We encourage you to pray each day for Hollywood, and the content creators that are Discipling the Nations!
