Following Jesus Into the Arts

Bringing real light to the lights of Hollywood

Hollywood and Christians have historically opposed each other, going toe-to-toe in battles over traditional values, ethics, and more. Yet Hollywood has the power to shape culture, whether we admit it or not. And that is a big part of what Christ-followers are called to do: be culture-shapers. So how do we learn to engage in our culture in meaningful and relevant ways that help us reshape it and help people find God in these stories?
