Yea I’m from the Rock Church and Brody nailed the exact reason we don’t use a family from the church, and yes the family we used looks amazing!! haha I really appreciate you letting us use it. It flows really well with who we are trying to reach.

Random thought here…

So Brody…road trip to Iowa with Kristin and the kiddos. You and Kristin should dress yourselves and the kiddos up as you did in the photos and attend the church one morning.

It’d be a good litmus test for church leadership to see if church members go to the website. And it’d be plain interesting to see if anyone notices your family or makes a comment or snickers.

Good points, Brody. As in all things church-related, your can’t do it without making someone mad.

(But they did make a might fine pick of families, there.)

In the church’s defense, with as much drama that church’s cause in everyday situations wouldn’t it make more sense to have a family that wasn’t connected to the church at all, rather than a family that was know as the “attractive” family, or the “high tithing” family, or the “minority family” or the “closest to the pastor” family?

What happens if that family in the church that becomes the “logo” has a messy divorce? Or leaves the church? Isn’t it easier to avoid that and get some weird family from Nashville?

Amy, I’ve wondered the same thing. Our church does the same thing, with pics of people no one knows on the big ads and such. I have no clue why they do it that way (except maybe the real members are not real enough, or we’re too ugly).
