In Lifetime’s latest original film, Preach, Pray, Love, things get spicy when faith, fame, and maybe-not-so-forbidden love collide. The film tells the story of Charlie Jones (Karrueche Tran), a rapper whose fierce lyrics are turning heads in hip-hop. But then she meets Kyrus Owens (Mark J.P. Hood), a charismatic young minister with a devoted following, and sparks fly! Their romance challenges everything they thought they knew about themselves.
As their relationship heats up, Kyrus feels the pressure from his congregation, who start side-eyeing his choices. Is his new relationship messing with his duties as a pastor? Meanwhile, Charlie’s dealing with her own stuff, caught between her artistry and a newfound spiritual side that Kyrus is bringing out in her. Talk about a love triangle with yourself!
Together, they’re navigating two totally different worlds: the world of fame and self-expression versus the world of devotion and duty. Can they find some common ground?
Jamie Broadnax chopped it up with Tran and Hood to get the inside scoop. They talked about the chemistry between their characters, the challenge of playing people caught between love and purpose, and how the film looks at faith and staying true to yourself in today’s world.
Preach, Pray, Love brings a whole new vibe to Lifetime’s lineup of modern romances. It’s a story that dives deep into being vulnerable, finding redemption, and being brave enough to love without limits. Sounds like something we all need a little of, right?
Preach, Pray, Love premieres November 8th on Lifetime TV.
