She Found God and then Hollywood Called

KATHERINE’S STORY

Katherine Warnock was raised Catholic. She realized she had a talent for running which would follow her to Central Michigan University where she was part of the nationally ranked Division I women’s track and field team. When one of her teammates invited her to a Spirit-filled church, Katherine, then 20 years old, admits that she was both appalled and enthralled by what she witnessed. “I was hooked. At the time I didn’t know what I was experiencing but I later learned it was the Holy Spirit,” she shares. From that point on, she was all in with the Lord.

Previously, she suffered from anxiety and panic attacks but after encountering the Holy Spirit’s presence, her panic attacks immediately stopped. From that point on, she was on a journey to learn everything she could about Jesus. 

After graduating in 2004, Katherine began teaching English, history, and public speaking at a high school. Still desperately searching for more encounters with God, she attended the revival at the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship. During one of the services, Katherine saw a 10-foot angel.

That’s when she felt a call from God to the nations. Without knowing exactly what to do with that information, she learned to pray and trust the Lord. 

While on a missions trip in Africa, she was given a prophetic word that she was called to Hollywood. 

For the next 14 years, Katherine found herself in a variety of different professional roles in content, creative, marketing, and branding-based leadership spanning film, television, digital, editorial, fashion, and social enterprise. 

When Katherine was head of faith and family content at MGM, she was used to watching pilots and pitches but usually only watched the first few seconds. One day Katherine recalls watching a pilot called, “The Shepherd,” created by Dallas Jenkins. After watching for only 10 minutes, she was moved to tears. She immediately emailed her people to try and acquire the show, but with no luck.

Years, later Jenkins wrote “The Chosen,” and when Katherine watched it, she noticed similarities to “The Shepherd,” eventually connecting the two. When she heard about a job opening with “The Chosen,” she applied and is now VP of Original Content. She credits God for leading her to where she is today.
