The Hollywood Pastors
J.R. Mahon / Carlsbad, CA
Founder of Hollywood Pastor and a sold out regular guy who doesn't have pastor degrees, seminary training or Ivy League complacency. He's got years of experience chasing after a God that changed his life.
Mahon's been producing television for 20 plus years for organizations like Time Warner, Gannett Television and freelancing for everyone and their mother. J.R. cut his ministry teeth with an organization called XXXchurch.com where he architected it's national and international success. J.R. has counseled thousands in the throws of pornography addiction and helped many in the industry find a new start away from the business of porn.
J.R. lead a national movement called Starving Jesus, which got its start from the book he wrote of the same title. As creator of Starving Jesus, J.R. lead dozens of national outreaches from feeding the homeless to securing financial sponsorship for 650 children in the Dominican Republic through Compassion International.
J.R. speaks to thousands of people every year, from Sunday morning church services to national television conferences. His television and ministry experience has made him somewhat of an expert on media and its effects on American church culture.
He is 42, Husband to Diane and Father to three adopted kids, Maria, Angel and Zian.
Occasionally people seek J.R.’s advice concerning God and rebuilding faith and career. J.R. says, “Sometimes people are searching for quick answers while others need lasting touches with God.”
He is concerned and passionate for those in the industry needing an ear to bend about life, God, and career. His ear is free and he’s tighter than Catholic confession.
Devin De Lozier / Long Beach, CA
One of countless people who left the zip code of their youth to move to 90210.
He had dreams of becoming the next underwear model with his name in lights while MTV played his latest lyrical masterpiece.
It seems the bigger the dream the harder the fall, and fall he did. After a year of extreme highs and pitiful lows he became self-absorbed, borderline anorexic, and homeless.
Along came some people who cared about him and not just his pretty face or jean size. These people genuinely loved him back to Jesus. Not because they were going to get 10% of his next photo shoot, but because they saw how God sees him; broken and in need of a savior.
Devin says, “Hollywood is full of people just like me, and God has called me to be an extension of Him to the broken.”
Kristin Ross / Los Angeles, CA
A Midwest chick that’s been in L.A. a few years. She’s worked with 20th Century Fox for the past 5 years. Her Hollywood career has led her to work with director Gary Fleder and Dreamworks TV.
In Los Angeles long enough to understand it, Kristin knows "it" is hard work with little reward and lots of pressure. On call 24/7, rolling calls, working weekends, no holidays, traffic, smog, the DMV, parking tickets, dating, sexual pressure from your boss, while trying to make rent – everyone wants a piece.
Married to a younger man keeps K-Ross en vogue. She's one of those people that loves talking faith issues and making sense of them. She's been known to have dinner with porn stars and eat only vegetarian. As a part of the Hollywood Pastor team she's passionate about getting you back to church or at least think about it.
Diane Mahon / Carlsbad, CA
No stranger to being pulled out of the mire, she has a passion for women, especially those caught in the lie that sexuality equals worth. In an industry where women feel they need to fight for power, and use T and A as their talent, her heart is to help hurting and broken women struggling with who they are, where their beauty comes from and what truly makes a woman powerful.
As a mother to three young children, she also refers to herself as “Sticky Mommy” and spends what little time she has away from the kids communicating and trying to lift up other moms in the same predicament.
Andy Yardy / Indianapolis, IN
Andy is a missionary kid who grew up in the Philippines and found Hollywood chasing his film making dreams after college. Andy lived and worked in LA for years before settling in Indianapolis where he serves as a media consultant.
Andy freelances out of Hollywood and has traveled the world shooting everything from African relief agencies to Christian support ministries in Iraq.
His commitment to his faith runs through every project he takes on, whether he’s producing a film on human trafficking or shooting documentaries about famous porn stars.
Trinity Jordan / Salt Lake City, UT
A humble dude living in Utah who wants nothing more than to grow closer to God and help others find that same desire.
Everything from motivational speaker, writer, and a victim's advocate, Trinity is a ministerial jack-of-all-trades.
In 2004 he started planting churches in Utah. It would become what he was born to do. Currently he lives in Utah with his amazing wife Ami and two beautiful little girls, Madison and Berlyn.
Jake Blakeney / Grand Rapids, MI
Husband to Heidi, Father to Ella, friend to many, and strange new phenomenon known as Reverend Larry Moonshine.
Jake, a long time singer-songwriter, has worked in church, around church and ultimately away from church. When people ask him why he never went to seminary, he simply replies, "Seminary ruined a lot of good people."
What Jake does get? The God he's been following most of his life still seems interested in him even after failing miserably.
Jake leads the coolest outreach on the planet. What he simply calls “The Hot Dog Outreach.” Every other Thursday you can find him cooking dogs on the streets of his hometown in Grand Rapids Michigan. He loves the lost and feeds the hungry.
