In this episode of Let's Pray, Season sits down with Rico Hill, Head of Development for Hope Studios and Senior Producer for Hope Channel International, to trace the remarkable journey that brought him from Hollywood to Christian media. Rico describes years working at MTV, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network, where material success left him with a sense of "starving on a full stomach." He shares how God orchestrated a difficult transfer to Turner Broadcasting in Atlanta, using a dark and morally challenging environment to loosen his grip on the industry and redirect his calling.
Rico recounts specific moments where prayer shaped his decisions: seeking God before accepting a promotion, refusing to produce a show about ghosts despite professional pressure, and walking prayer circuits through the Cartoon Network offices each morning. These stories illustrate a deepening trust in God's voice and a growing understanding that calling and assignment are distinct. A fellow Christian colleague's unexpected word that Rico was "an itinerant preacher" in the building confirmed what God was already doing.
The episode culminates in a direct encouragement to believers still working in secular environments, urging them to see themselves as "superheroes for Jesus," carrying the power of Christ beneath ordinary clothes.
