FREE Catholic Classes
Elizabeth Carroll, from "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars," exposed some of behind the scenes secrets that viewers of the popular reality TV series don't know about. In her recent appearance on "The Church Boys" podcast, Carroll shared that the stars were given a chance to share their faith with the other celebrity participants off-cam for two weeks of each season. Taking the opportunity to share God's love and encourage other couples to form a relationship with Him, Carroll and her husband made it a point to try to help the show's participants.

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - "We have a lot of freedom with that... it was one of the agreements we made up front - that we would be able to share our faith and be able to disciple whomever. And if somebody wanted to come to faith, that we would have the freedom to do that, but we would not have cameras on us," she said as quoted from The Blaze.
Carroll noted that they observed this practice for each season. As founders of the longtime running "Marriage Boot Camp", she and husband Jim have been helping couples with their marriage struggles.
Coming to reality TV, the two considered the probable audience they may encourage to navigate the Christian path for their relationship. Now, the show includes "celebrities" like Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt, Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett, who they help behind the scenes with developing skills in relational healing, according to The Blaze. She shared that the calling for them to join the show was with noble intentions.
"That was our heart and our hope. The reality of it is harder, but it's not that much harder than it is in a church either," she said of their mission. During days without taping, Elizabeth and Jim Carroll spend most of their time with their organization.
