Carolyn Woodberry has never been on The View, the popular ABC daytime show where female personalities bicker over the day's news, but she has a message for Barbara Walters and company: There's a higher authority.

''I was watching The View and everything was about what was fashionable, trendy, who's got what, and I thought, jeez, all these views are kind of whack,'' Woodberry recalls. ``What about God's view?''

While talk shows, soap operas and celebrity news take over the airwaves on weekdays with stories of deceit and revenge, she and three other South Florida women are trying to put a little Jesus into the hearts of a growing number of fans along with advice on dating, marriage and kids -- all punctuated with lots of ``Amens.''

On one episode of Whose View? God's View, which airs at 6 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays on WGEN-Caracol Channel 8 before its Spanish-language programming kicks in, Woodberry had this to say to unlucky souls who must spend holidays alone:

''Please don't hook yourself up with somebody who is more depressed than you are because you guys are going to have a pity party. Hook yourself up with someone who understands the real meaning of Christ.'' After all, ''loneliness, depression, those are awful spirits,'' nothing like the ``awesomeness of Christ.''

CHRISTIAN TWIST

For six years, Woodberry and co-hosts Angela Cox, Jaquada Lee and Victoria Adkins have offered advice with a Christian twist on the show, which airs twice a week in South Florida. This summer, it expanded to television stations in Atlanta and New Mexico.

This is not your typical church show. There is no pastor shouting from the pulpit, no live audience and little prayer. The women wear bright pantsuits and hold custom-printed coffee mugs (the big ''V'' is for ``View''), not Bibles. All volunteers, they include a salon owner, a healthcare company administrator and an event planner.

They seldom mention sex directly but often deal with it, as in recent topics like ''Is there a danger to flirting?'' and ``What does a man want and what does he need?''

In a segment called ''Ask the Doctor,'' Faye M. Silvera, pastor of Cathedral of the Messiah Worship Center in Pembroke Pines, tackled a question submitted by a viewer: ``What do you tell a young Christian lady who wants to keep her body pure but has uncontrollable sexual feelings for her boyfriend?''

The answer: Try not to be out late at night alone with him, give double dates a shot, and how about a dose of prayer?

''We teeter on the edge,'' said Woodberry, 46, of Tamarac, a member of The Faith Center, a nondenominational church in Sunrise. `We don't want to be locked in. I'm saying to people, where is your faith?''

Taped in a studio at Florida International University's Biscayne Bay campus, Whose View? God's View began in 2003 as an offshoot of Woodberry's full-time job as co-owner of CPW Enterprise, a television production company she runs with her husband. Back then, it consisted of a single segment in which she and a few churchgoing friends chatted about their faith.

Today, the half-hour show features members of a half-dozen Miami-Dade and Broward churches, and Woodberry is forming an advertising sales team.

''We are not nuns. We are very real people,'' said co-host Cox, 32, owner of Exclusive Hair Care Salon and Spa in Fort Lauderdale. ``I'm just a child of God trying to figure my way out there like everybody else.''
