"Divas for Jesus", "Sisterhood" and "Surrender the Secret" are upcoming reality television shows slated for a 2013 premiere which may leave some audiences to wonder, is there a reason for a rise in Christian-themed reality programming?

"Divas for Jesus", a Bischoff Hervey Entertainment release in association with Carrie Gerlach Cecil, is being considered for a 2013/2014 premiere on We TV which also broadcasts the faith-based reality television show "Mary Mary." In a release from the network, the show is described as an unscripted program that follows Christian women whose faith "consists of guns, God, gossip and great wine... Tossing Book Club for Bible Study, these ladies get together every week and on Sunday they ask for forgiveness and cleanse their fabulous little souls."

In TLC Network's "Sisterhood" scheduled to premiere Jan. 1, preachers' wives are the focus in "an honest, behind-the-scenes look into the struggles, triumphs and unique experiences that shape these bold women as they ditch their Sunday hats and morph into the dynamic and influential figures they have become and aim to be."
