Chaney and his wife Myesha are featured on the Oxygen series Preachers of L.A. According to The Christian Post, Wayne and Myesha Chaney agreed to showcase their marriage on television in order to represent "a Godly marriage on television." A controversy arose around pastor Chaney's statement that "We want people to know you can be saved, sanctified, and sexual... God made us that way." Chaney, his wife, and the other "Preachers" were criticized in the press for the affluent lifestyles the program portrayed them as living.
