Don’t miss this episode!  This woman has lived decades of life as a follower of Jesus exercising her gifts and passions for storytelling  and creativity in Hollywood.  Karen works as an independent film producer and has recently concluded a 4 year term on the national board of the Producers Guild of America.

In addition to her work in storytelling, Karen’s heart for the Lord and for the entertainment industry led her to founding and creating the Hollywood Prayer Network, a nonprofit organization seeking to build a bridge of love and respect between Christians in the Church and professionals in Hollywood, through prayer.  She believes our industry dramatically shapes our world and that Christians should work excellently and share the love of Christ everywhere they go.
