Think Different: The God Pod

January 11, 2005 by

The Billy Graham iPod Special EditionWhat if the church explored the same cross-promotional efforts as U2, arguably the biggest rock band in the world? You might come up with the God Pod.

Yes, it’s a tongue-in-cheek question, but what if the church really did think outside the box when it comes to marketing? Before 2004 making a major motion picture out of a passion play would have been laughable. But it not only happened, it went on to make more than $611 million worldwide.

Perhaps the church should borrow Apple’s “Think Different” slogan.

    God Pod

    U2 did it. Why shouldn’t Christians? What an awesome idea from ChurchMarketingSucks.com, encouraging us to “think different”…
