"The Sisterhood," TLC's groundbreaking new reality television show, shocked many viewers with its premiere episode, but the preachers' wives featured on the show insist they are not attempting to prove that church leaders are perfect.

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.

"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." more >>
