A new reality show, Church Rescue “Church Rescue” debuted Monday (Nov. 11) on the National Geographic Channel, “featuring the most unlikely of reality TV stars: church consultants”
The series will feature three “Church Hoppers”: the Rev. Kevin “Rev Kev” Annas, a business analyst; the Rev. Anthony “Gladamere” Lockhart, a marketing specialist; and the Rev. Jerry “Doc” Bentley, a spiritual counselor.
…
The trio travel across the United States to assist failing churches, using “the wisdom of Scripture and a little Southern ingenuity” along with some red-faced shouting at obstinate pastors.
So far, six episodes are planned, although the Church Hoppers said they hope to film additional shows. Their targets include a Full Gospel church, a biker church, a cowboy church and even a synagogue.
Perhaps it will be a hit like Tabatha’s Salon Takeover.

We were winding down for the evening and turned this on for kicks. It seemed very staged. There were assumptions in the rescue model that were simplistic and condescending. Turned it off after 15 minutes.
