The fourth installment in the “Terry McMillan Presents” series, Lifetime’s romantic drama Preach, Pray, Love is directed by Damon Lee. The story centers on Charlisa “Charlie” Jones, a gifted rapper whose bold personality and music not only earn her fame but also legal trouble.
After serving time behind bars, Charlie is sentenced to community service, where she meets Pastor Kyrus Owens. Their meeting sparks an unexpected connection, blending their vastly different worlds — hers of music and celebrity, his of faith and service.
As Pastor Owens faces doubts from his congregation while raising funds for a new community home, Charlie works to rebuild her public image and gain redemption in the eyes of her fans. Through this journey, both find renewal and understanding, proving that love and purpose can grow in the most surprising places.
“The imagery of religion, fame, and romance that runs throughout the narrative is effectively showcased through various locations, including a place of worship and a music studio.”
