*What a flop … maybe.
“The Sisterhood,” TLC’s newest reality show about preachers’ wives, back fires.
But the wives tell the press their aim was not to impress the world by pretending to perfect.
As reported by the Christian Post, Ivy Couch, the first lady of Emmanuel Tabernacle church led by her husband Pastor Mark Couch, was prepared for the backlash from some viewers. However, she feels the transparency of the preachers’ wives featured on the show can heal people.
“I think other Christians act like they don’t have problems anymore once they become Christian. So it’s really an opportunity for me to be transparent because I think that’s how we help people heal,” Couch told The Christian Post. “So I think He’s using this reality show, it is going to be groundbreaking and we’re going to upset a lot of people. But I do also think that we’re going to bring a lot of people to know Him personally.”
After “The Sisterhood” premiered Tuesday, countless people took to Twitter and The Christian Post’s exclusive story featuring interviews with cast members to sound off on the show.
“I saw (The) Sisterhood yesterday I was embarrassed being a woman of GOD,” one person tweeted. “Real holy virtuous women don’t act that way. The devil (is) trying to embarrass us.”
Another person took to the CP article, “The Sisterhood Exclusive: Preacher’s Wives Reveal Why They Took to Reality TV,” to call for the cancellation of the television show.

THE DEVIL IS A LIAR!!!! Even as children of God, we R able 2b used by the devil (as we have seen). Deception is definetly in this reality show. I don’t like how my God/Father, Lord or the Holy Spirit r being “depicted” here. Write the vision AND make it plain. Spin this show right NOW, and when conflict o c c u r s………(stop that take and take a breather) somebody BETTER b saying what that WORD says (2 do), when that act resumes . Christianity is a process that CAN B DONE. Show how we WORK THAT WORD and not how we act like the rest of the world. U R “ambassadors” 4 CHRIST, not urselves (or the network). U r “supposed” 2b the SALT of the earth. Where is ur “flavor”? How r we gonna ‘season’ the earth? REPRESENT or sit down!!! Oh, and “WOE UN2 U THAT SCATTER MY SHEEP”!
ALL IN LOVE
B ENCOURAGED AND GOD BLESS U ALL!!
I’ve never seen the show, but I would worry about being a part of any reality show like this. However, if you are going to profess yourself as a Christian and be a part of a show like this, let it be how Christians are supposed to live.. don’t embarrass the Body of Christ, please!
In other words, Destiny. I agree!
The show is embarrassing! I hope it gets cancelled!! Try something else TLC……………
I don’t understand what you mean when you say that the show is embarrassing??? Is it because the pastor’s wives are dealing with some real issues that church folk have? Or is it the fact that you as a professing Christian don’t like the areas of your life that have been revealed through the show? God loves us and He wants to see all come to the Knowledge Of His son Jesus, and know Him personally. But we as Christians must first let the world know that the ones (Ambassadors For Christ) that He has placed here to minister to them must be real and accept the fact that we have the same issues that they have. Remember “We are all saved by grace!” and ” We have all fallen short of the Glory!” Even after we have come to the knowledge of Christ.” I believe we should give the show a chance and stop demonizing those who are co-laborers with us. Open your heart to new ways of getting the word of God out to a dying world.
Much Love,

I have watched the show and I like it. It is about time that the world knows that “church folks” are human also. Lets remember that there was only one perfect person in this world. We as Christians have problems. and we all have fallen short of the glory. All I can say that it is about time the cover was lifted.
Love the show, if you don’t like it then don’t watch it, it’s that simple.
Amen Sista,
It is really sad that you have haters that are not able to express the Love of Christ unless they have a piece of the pie. I think this is great way to see the Church for what it is (A Spiritual Hospital) where all who are hurting can come with all your problems and be healed. Some folks need to get real with themselves and learn Love.

What a mess of reality. What some people will do for the love of money.
What a horrible program……never heard of “the first lady of….” Shameful and a complete embarrassment!”
