Faith and family related content is on the rise and CBS is doing their part to add to the variety of inspirational options.
Now in its second season, God Friended Me is joined by two primetime additions Carols Second Act, starring Patricia Heaton and EVIL, featuring Mike Couter.
Each series in their own way helps to break down the boxes believers are put in when content is created. We are not a monolithic community and enjoy drama, suspense, action and so much more.
