Sex, drugs and rock and roll. That's the mental image that's created when people hear the name Hollywood. But there is an unknown side to Hollywood. It is a place where spirituality is constantly percolating. God is alive and well in Hollywood. There are many people who work in the entertaiment industry who are on fire with the Holy Spirit.

One such person is Karen Covell, a successful producer and author. She regularly hosts prayer meetings where people in the industry come freely to share their spirituality and manifest their love for God - right in the heart of the entertainment capital of the world!

In this episode, Fr. Mike and Karen explore the unknown side of Hollywood - one that dedicates itself to the Lord.

This week's in-studio guest: Bob Birgen, CEO Support Group “Legatus”

How hard is it to be both successful and Christian? Does God encourage us to be successful? Many Catholic executives often times find themselves asking the same question. One such executive was Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan who now uses the billions of dollars he made from his pizza fortune for Catholic discipleship work.

To assist other CEOs in the country who happen to be Catholic like himself, he set up a support group called "Legatus." The group aims to help corporate and church executives and their families achieve a more profound spirituality and get closer to God and their Catholic faith.

In this week's episode, Fr. Mike Manning talks to Bob Birgen, CEO of the Support Group "Legatus." The exchange between them will give you a good glimpse into the lives of our executives and the challenges they face as they try to balance their corporate goals with their Christian duties.
