The Phil Vischer Podcast: Ep 42- Trademarking “Jesus” & Christian Music

An Italian company trademarks Jesus’ name, & should Christian music be killed?

Leadership Journal March 12, 2013

Italian clothing company “Jesus Jeans” has successfully trademarked the word “Jesus” in the United States. Skye asks if he can trademark “Buddha Bras,” and Phil shares how he offended Christian retailers by mocking the “Score With Jesus” soccer ball. They then make a link between Jesus-branded merchandise and circumcision in the New Testament. Did you watch “The Bible” on the History Channel this week? The crew asks if it’s fair to call the series “The Bible” when it ignores large portions of the Scriptures? Finally, an impassioned plea for the death of “Christian music” gets Phil all riled up. All that, plus Skye walks out halfway through Phil’s wrap-up song! It’s a crazy week on the Phil Vischer Podcast!
