Pastors of L.A. Reality Show
- Thread starter Iwanthealthyhair67
- Start date
See, this is why they were picked up for this show.. to make a mockery of Christianity.
The show 'Preachers Daughters'.... it was such an insult. I tried watching a few of the episodes and couldn't get through them. So unnecessary. It made the Pastor's 'appear' as if they had absolutely no control of their family; just weak and without faith.
I realize we have life's challenges, but this was just an insult.
I can only imagine the one with the LA Preachers not doing much to clean up the negative images being presented.
The top of my news: A local pastor arrested for looking at child pornography while working at Disney.
What ??? !!! ???
A wolf among the innocent sheep... God's baby lambs.
I got sumpin' for em'

For years there have been rumors that Lisa Raye was dating Bishop Noel Jones of the City of Refuge Church in LA [click here if you missed that].
Welp, the rumors are true and Lisa Raye and Bishop Jones are starring in a new reality show...
From Always A List,
AlwaysAList.com can confirm that the former First Lady of Turks & Caicos and the pastor of the City of Refuge Church in Los Angeles are in a serious relationship – so serious that it is a featured storyline on the upcoming reality series, “Pastors of LA” just greenlit by Oxygen.
A friend of AlwaysAList.com recently attended a private screening of the pilot and was “taken aback” by the couple’s relationship.
“I was really surprised that they were so open about their relationship. I heard the rumors that they had been dating, but all doubt was removed watching this show,” explained our source.
On the pilot, there was one scene where Bishop Jones was criticizing some of McCoy’s wardrobe selections for church. “He basically told her that he wasn’t sure she was ‘Godly enough’ for his world, and she in turn told him he may not be ‘worldly enough’ for hers,” recalled the screening guest.

They've been 'together' for a 'minute' ( a while)
His Church attracts quite a number of 'celebrities'. But then, he's in LA where celebrities are central.He's in a movie as well, "You can't keep a good man down". Golden Brooks, Hill Harper, "Eddie Winslow" (from Family Matters --- I can't think of his real name) and other Black actors which many will recognize from budget plays, movies.
Bishop Jones' role in the movie is small and respectable, but the movie isn't what I'd call quality. I only liked the end of the movie, the prayer of repentance.
This (the background lives of these ministers) is one of the things that pulled me away from TBN and other TV Ministries. I need to make a point that not all TV Ministries lack integrity, there are several that I respect and look forward to seeing. But there are others that I can't view.
These men, Noel Jones and McClendon were TBN regulars. I remember McClendon's wife, Tammera and she was a beautiful lady inside and out. Their marriage was Interracial, however that's fine with me. She truly presented as a loving wife, Proverbs 31 and I pray that God blesses her with a new and loving husband.
But back to Bishop Jones and Lisa Raye, that's been going on for quite a while. I was reluctant at first to 'believe' it, but inside, I knew it was true.
I have to admit that Bishop Jones has ministered several messages that have blessed me. However, it's not enough to preach and live otherwise.
These men are not supposed to be 'out there' like that! That's what we're trying to get the men in our Black communities 'away' from; to stop being kangs and to become real men who have the heart of God.
I don't want to hear a word uttered from any one of them that 'everybody makes mistakes'. That's not repentance.
Leaders resist temptation; they resist placing themselves in such a manner. This relationship with Jones and Lisa Raye is too much like a 'boyfriend / girlfriend' situation with 'benefits'.
I pray that it's not and that the producers of this show do not display it as such. If he's going to be with a woman, he needs to marry her and not look like he's out of order. He's not 'shunning' the appearance of evil. Lisa Raye is 'out there'. I pray that the two of them are abstinent and not placing themselves in an unguarded situation. All of his 'good works' mean nothing if he's not living holy.

A friend was telling me about this show and I thought what is up with all these fake Christian shows... I do believe what the enemy intended for evil God will turn it around for good. I believe yes these shows are put on air to make a mockery of Christianity and to basically say to the world see they're a mess or whatever else, but I also feel that God will use this platform to remove those preachers and ministers who have ignored the Spirit's prompting to repent, who haven't been preaching his word and leading thousands astray because afterall they're every move is being recorded for everyone to see.
Thanks disgtgyal ... this entire show just 'grieves' me, because it is indeed a 'set-up'. First there was Preacher's Daughters which is a horror and now this.

It appears to be that sign.. I looked at it a few times. I'm just hoping I'm wrong.
Well said... I agree...
Wow....didn't know this. That hand sign......

You know, there are lots of good examples of ministers representing God in truth, they are just not on TV...
LOL @ 'dominos' .... but that word is point about the media.... TV.. Innanet, etc.

Shimmie's Thoughts:erplexed
Whelp... here we have it. This don't make no sense!
Oooooooooooo boy oh boy oh boy.... Oh boy
See this ain't nothing but a mess making more mess. These are not good examples of Minsters representing the Body of Christ.
"There are far too many Good Men and Women of Integrity who should be spotlighted far more, instead.
I'mma say just what this Reality Show is. It's an attempt to undermine the 'stand' that we as Christians fight to maintain. The media is using these as smoke screens to disparage the Church.
Here's news for the media and their stale agenda.
The Church upon Jesus Christ shall Stand and shall remain standing. The media is a bunch of weak dominios; but watch out dominos, your fall is imminent.

Laela... I truly wish that these men were not exploiting the Gospel.
They're upfront with their 'flies' wide open. All of their sexual exploits are being displayed for all the world to see, and it's not being taken seriously with repentance; and it's just shameful.

I appreciate the comments in this post and I agree that this show will not glorify Christ in any way. Yes, these "so call" ministers of the gospel appear to put money and fame before their true calling in the ministry. Since I am in the process of divorcing a "bishop" and have met a few of these ministers, I will outline my observations:
1. The body of Christ is not prepared for the heights and depths of hypocrisy in the pulpit. There is little accountability of these men and as long as the congregation hoops and hollers to their sermons on Sunday, everyone leaves church happy with the false assumption that all is well in the preachers' lives. Nothing could be further from the truth.
2. Yes, these men maybe anointed and talented but that does not mean that there are no major failings in their characters. In other words, their characters have yet to catch up to their anointing. Since the celebrity culture exist in the church, they are revered and held in a star status. The Pride and Vanity of these men are shocking and the congregation unwittingly enables this.
3. We are living in the last days. The scandals detailed in this thread are the tip of the iceberg and there are several more to come. It is important that we remember that we each have to give an account for our life and it is important that we live holy lives even if our ministers may not be.
There is so much more I can write but I chose to be circumspect. The entire situation is shockingly sad.

AbundantlyBlessed , I pray for God's will to be done in your life and that your faith does not fail you during this time of transition in your marriage! Be strong sis!
I also agree that this is not good for the body. God holds Pastors to a much higher standard than the congregation and that is NOT the kind of TV these producers are looking for. They want drama and sex. Even the least little "slip" on the show is a stain for the world to see on the Bride of Christ!
And though Im not familiar with all of the mentioned Pastors it does give me great pause to hear one is dating LisaRaye. I don't know the woman personally but nothing I've seen or heard about her would make me think "chaste". Tweeting yourself in a bikini is not a good look for a Pastors wife. Saying the Pastor isn't "worldly" enough should tell him right then that this woman isn't right for such a responsibility. But then again, if you're shopping for lust instead of life then the glamour will blind you. I really hope somehow it either doesn't air or it completely surprises me...in a good way.

Indeed you are abundantly blessed, spirit soul and body.
I just wanted to give you a great big 'sister hug'.
God finds no failures in you.

Because thanks was not enough. For some reason I don't and never understood why church members treat their pastors or leaders like celebrities. I don't understand how anyone can attend a church being led by someone not living according to God's way... don't we go to church to fellowship and hear a message from God but how can these men deliver a message from God when unrepentant sin is deafness to the voice of God. I'm not judging or condemning these mean or those who live like them I simply don't understand and am genuinely curious ...

Thank you so much for your post. I am sorry that you are divorcing. It just goes to show me and confrimation that I have to get deep in the word. These "men" of God still struggle and some people just won't ever get it. They place these "men" high up JSMH...

Well, I'm glad hese men don't represent all. There are lots of God-fearing Christian men, or as they say "for-real saved" lol.. I agree about getting caught up and putting "men" of God on pedestal.. Sadly, I'd done this in the past without realizing it, and God had to open my eyes to see it, of my own accord, not what someone else tells me.
There are and always will be true men and women of God on this planet, until Jesus returns. Just pray for a discerning heart so you can see them when they come your way, and ask God to remove them from your life if they have somehow worked their way in. He will protect you from all evil -- both seen and unseen.

As far as Dietrick Haddon I don't think he has married his babys mother yet.....I also read where he was stepping out and Issac Carree knew and spilled the beans. Who knows the truth.
It's all just a 'mess'. Too much is clouding their 'witness'.
Are they looking to 'validate' their past and present activities?
They are in a huge mass of ego and money which they refuse to give up.

Hi MzRhonda 
The words are beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
Rhonda, I wish things has turned out differently for each of these featured in this thread topic, in their Ministry. Not everyone falls into temptation. They resist it and give God the glory. The ministers in this LA show have way too much laundry and no tide or downy.
