Sun Sep 15 11:35:05 UTC 2024: ## “CHiPs” Star Erik Estrada Brings Faith-Based Home Improvement to Second Season of “Divine Renovation”

**TORRINGTON, CT -** Actor Erik Estrada, best known for his role as Officer Ponch in the 1970s television series “CHiPs,” is returning for a second season of his faith-based home improvement reality show, “Divine Renovation.”

The show, which premiered in 2023, features Estrada working with nonprofits, houses of worship, local businesses, and neighbors to help families in need. Estrada told Fox News Digital that “Divine Renovation” is about doing good in the community.

“People out there need stuff,” Estrada said. “They need these things, you know? But they can’t afford it.”

The show utilizes donations from area businesses to provide essential items like appliances and renovations to those in need. “We get a couple of community appliance stores to help us out with a stove or a washer-dryer,” Estrada explained. “And [the store] gets years and years and years of free advertisements for a little donation of a product that we can put in somebody’s trailer or somebody’s home and help them because they deserve to have better.”

Estrada, who has starred in a number of faith-centered films after his time on “CHiPs,” emphasized that helping these organizations is deeply meaningful to him.

“They can’t do it for themselves, but we can come along and do it,” Estrada said. “Why not? What’s wrong with that? Nothing’s wrong with that. I think it’s cool. For me, it’s a good thing. It’s a feel-good thing. It makes me feel good.”

In this season, “Divine Renovation” will be visiting Friends in Service to Humanity (FISH), a shelter and food pantry in Torrington, Connecticut, where they will install a new floor, complete other home improvements, and install a 25-foot flagpole for the veterans who live there.

Estrada shared that faith is a crucial part of his life, helping him through difficult times and reminding him to ask for forgiveness. “I apologize for the mistakes I make and choices I’ve made and ask, ‘Hey, please forgive me. I’ll try not to do that again, and I’ll try to get it right. But help me. I could use your help right now. It’s wearing on me emotionally and mentally and causes me to lose sleep,’” Estrada said of his prayer life.

“Forgiveness is a large part of my prayer life,” he continued, “And I find out that talking to yourself, talking to your inner guide, to your inner self, is God anyway.”

The second season of “Divine Renovation” is set to premiere soon.
