Pastor will help millionaire bachelor find love in reality TV show Match Made in Heaven. WE TV

WE TV is taking a step up on reality television's dating shows by throwing a spiritual advisor into the mix.

Match Made in Heaven, which will premiere on February 4 this year will have millionaire Shawn Bullard let his pastor take charge on finding his true love, reports Madame Noire.

Bullard is an African American real estate magnate and former college athlete who is looking for a woman to settle down with. Meanwhile, Pastor Ken Johnson is the National Football League (NFL) Spiritual Advisor for the Indianapolis Colts. Together, the two with Bullard's mom will determine who among the bevy of beautiful women on the show have the potential to become Bullard's long-term love match.

There will be 24 women vying for Bullard's affections, but the ladies will not just be sitting waiting for Bullard to sweep them off their feet. Instead, the girls will be forced into tempting situations that could compromise their budding relationship with the bachelor.

Each episode will be one hour long and will let the girls, "from the sweet girl next door to the smoking hot vixen, the polished career women to the innocent virgin" face challenges in the "proverbial Garden of Eden," according to WE TV.

While the girls decide on good and evil, Pastor Ken and the bachelor's mother will be guiding Bullard every step of the way.

The show offers twists and turns every episode, and will have the girls deciding whether or not they should undermine other contestants just to win Bullard over, or simply rely on the connection they have already established with him. Shawn himself will be tempted several times by the women. But the question is: Will the Christian bachelor give in? Or will he remain resolute in his quest for true love?

"After a series of dates, romantic rendezvous, harsh eliminations, and solicited (and unsolicited) advice from the Pastor and his mother, find out if Shawn finally meets his match," WE TV teases.
