Even if he is in his suit and tie at his desk. I'd rather see your face and hear you talking to me than nothing at all (if you feel discouraged in your attempt to break the mold). While I do agree with you that if it can be done (and I don't see why not) get creative and break the mold, but if you're working with limited resources and locales (etc.) A great test of a good welcome video - make it, and have someone you know will be real with you watch it. Your wife/husband, kids (who can give a solid opinion - probably over the age of 12), friends and see/hear what they have to say. If all else fails, have someone at faithHighway watch... we'll certainly be real with you!

A great test of a good welcome video – make it, and have someone you know will be real with you watch it. Your wife/husband, kids (who can give a solid opinion – probably over the age of 12), friends and see/hear what they have to say. If all else fails, have someone at faithHighway watch… we'll certainly be real with you!
