Why Hollywood Execs Should Embrace the Faith-Based Community

Is Hollywood Waking Up?Hollywood has moved far beyond the days of Leave it to Beaver and Happy Days, replacing the once family-oriented, wholesome scripts of the past with what some believe to be the entertainment desires of the majority.  But what these execs have lost track of is, “Who is the majority and does Hollywood really know anything about them?”

It is becoming more apparent that the larger consumer of Hollywood’s entertainment offerings are a “mystery audience” to Hollywood executives, according to Larry Poland at Variety.  Poland tries to break it down for them, admitting what most of us on the Right already know–that this ‘mystery audience’ is made up of religious Judeo-Christian conservatives.

“It is a thread of mistaken notions about the faith community in the America, especially conservative ones of the Christian and Jewish variety,” Poland says.  It’s difficult to deny this group’s importance when television shows like Duck Dynasty and The Bible miniseries have been such monumental hits.

“Philosophical Correctness” is what Poland attributes Hollywood’s lack of understanding of religious conservatives. “This [Philosophical Correctness] insulates them from a host of competent, reasonable, salt-of-the-earth people out there who believe in Jesus, the Bible or Torah and a four-millennia-old code of moral values.”

Maybe it’s time for Hollywood and Religious Conservatives to ‘do lunch’ together.

Arizona PolitiChick Tina Drake has been teaching and mentoring Junior High and High School students, in churches where she has been active, since her time as a college student, over twenty-five years ago. Tina believes politics and religion can, and should, be discussed together. She says she is a lifelong follower of Christ and believer in the true significance of God's power in each and everyone's life and she believes in the absolute need for God and Christ to be honored and included in the decisions made for our country. Tina continues to mentor students in this age group, along with her husband, multiple times each week. She believes that encouraging people, especially students, to see the need for a relationship with God and Jesus Christ in their everyday life, is an absolute need in her life. Tina volunteers weekly in her children's school, allowing her to witness how today's students are learning and developing in their social, educational, political and spiritual beliefs. Witnessing how students experience life, during the timeframe of Junior High through College, is immensely important to Tina. She believes this age group needs to be mentored, so they will have the tools with which to navigate today's societal pressures to live life without God, rather than with Him. Tina has also been a teacher to women in churches, teaching small groups, as well as speaking to large groups on a variety of spiritual topics. In addition to Spiritual Formation, Tina has been actively following and discussing the many facets of politics. Tina is a graduate of the University of Arizona, having earned a degree in Communication and a minor in Political Science. After college, she worked in the field of Advertising and Marketing, specializing in Media Buying and Planning, as well as directing entire Marketing and Sales departments. She has been a writer for PolitiChicks.com since 2012 and says she enjoys the opportunity to encourage Americans to live out their faith in Jesus Christ, while they stand firm on the principles set forth by our forefathers in their political beliefs.
