Professional Discipleship Program 7-week Intensive

From March 3rd to April 14th, 2025, the Hollywood Prayer Network officially launched its first-ever Professional Discipleship Program (PDP) Intensive Workshops!

Each week, over 90 participants gathered for this in-person, 7-week course designed to help Christians in entertainment lay a strong spiritual and professional foundation.

This inaugural intensive marked the beginning of a bold new initiative to prepare believers to rise beyond the hustle of the industry with Christ-centered clarity and confidence. The series also served as a required prerequisite for those applying to HPN’s 1-on-1 Mentorship Program, which pairs mentees with seasoned professionals working across every area of entertainment.

Every Monday night, doors opened at 6:30 PM for connection and community, with sessions beginning at 7:00 PM.
