In-N-Out burger is a wide range fast food chain that many know and love. This chain is actually a Christian brand and they show this through many obvious and subtle cues. The owner of In-N-Out burger, Lynsi Snyder, lost her father at a very young age and has gone through three failed marriages. Lynsi says that these trials are actually what pushed her towards the Christian faith. One of the most obvious ways that customers identify In-N-Out burger as a Christian organization is through the bible versus printed on the cups. All In-N-Out cups have John 3:16 printed on them. While printing a verse on a cup may seem like a small detail, it has actually made a big impact on customers as many can’t help but notice this hint to Christianity. In-N-Out burger aims to create a caring environment with quality food that people will take notice of. Some people got mad at the company when they found out that they were donating money to a republican organization but the company has stayed true to it’s Christian roots and continues to grow and flourish. I have never been to an In-N-Out burger but I would love to go and support the company sometime. When well known companies take stances against the societal norm, it can be scary and dangerous but we are called to be salt and light to the world. We are called, as Christians, to bring the good news to all, not just those proclaiming the faith. In-N-Out burger does a great job of taking something simple, like a fast food restaurant, and using it for redemptive purposes. Being a Christian is more than just a verse on a cup. The simplest way someone can experience the love of Christ first hand is in the way you treat them and this is a perfect opportunity for all businesses to use the marketplace in a way that demonstrates the love of Christ to others.
