* VisualPun:
** The show's premise is a pun on Luke 19:40 - "If the people fall silent, the stones will cry out." The rocks in ''God Rocks!'' play music, just in case the people fall asleep.
** The ''[=BibleToons=]'' episode "Put on Love" is a literal interpretation of verses from Colossians naming the Fruits of the Spirit and encouraging the reader to "put on love", which "binds together everything in perfect harmony". Chip wears an actual jacket that represents the Fruits of the Spirit, and it causes him to do nice things when he otherwise wouldn't.

''God Rocks!'' is a Canadian UsefulNotes/{{Christian|ity}} animated series about a literal Christian rock band - they don't just play rock, they're made of rock. Their names are Chip, Gem, Splinter and Carb.

The original four episodes were released direct-to-DVD from 2002 to 2004, and were animated in CGI. Later, in 2005, 2D-animated episodes entitled ''God Rocks! [=BibleToons=]'' were released. Finally, in 2013, a TV series called ''[=RocKidsTV=]'' aired on TBN.

There was a real-life band by the name of God Rocks! that was created to promote the series. They performed every song featured in the series, voiced the characters, and released multiple [=CDs=].
