In this week's episode, Matt Wells is joined by Father Chuck and JP as they dive head-first into the history of the WWJD brand. You might remember it as an innocuous brand used to sell bracelets and guilt teenagers out of making out or seeing Rated R movies. What the majority of people don't realize is that the phrase "What Would Jesus Do?" is deeply rooted in the Social Gospel movement, and was coined by Charles Sheldon, a minister from the 1800's. We talk about Charles Sheldon and his message, Janie Tinklenberg and her fight to get the "WWJD" brand trademarked in order to save it from being over-commercialized, and we also ask ourselves what does the phrase "What Would Jesus Do?" mean to us? If you have no knowledge of the WWJD phrase beyond the bracelets and have always been curious about just what it means and where it comes from, this episode is for you! And just as a bonus, MATT WELLS IS HERE!!!!
