I found out about Duck Dynasty through social media. I have friends who are members of the church of Christ. I also have friends who are rednecks. Subsequently, I have friends who are redneck members of the church of Christ. So I hear about Duck Dynasty frequently on all sides of the spectrum.
I sat down and watched an episode. Like most reality based shows, the episode seemed forced, with the storylines made up. This is the same reason why I don’t like to watch shows like Pawn Stars and Hardcore Pawn.
Since I kept hearing about Duck Dynasty so often, I began to be repelled by it. I thought to myself “Oh no, another Duck Dynasty post?” “Quack?” This all came to a head this weekend when Duck Dynasty members came to my alma mater, Lipscomb University, as part of Don Meyer’s Evening of Excellence. All of my friends, like ducks to water, were going….and posting about it on Facebook. Promotional video is below announcing their appearance.

And what makes them so popular among church going people? Apparently their moral stance; their family values, and their prayer at the end of every episode. Conservative Christians love that. Members of the church of Christ love that the Duck Dynasty stars are also members of the same church.
Please note, I’m not knocking Duck Dynasty due to their moral values. I think there should be more shows on TV which portray moral values. I’m just sick of hearing about Duck Dynasty everyday. Duck Dynasty will wither and fade, and where will one’s faith be? Hopefully still as strong as ever. It has been reported that Duck Dynasty stars have baptized fans. And I wonder are the fans truly committed to be faithful Christians or did they get caught up as the ultimate act of groupies.
