John Cooper
Cooper Stuff Podcast is an in depth look at what drives John Cooper (lead singer of Skillet); a commentary on culture from a traditional Biblical paradigm:
Has modern culture stolen your world view? With all the screaming voices, who do you trust? How much have you been subversively influenced? Cooper Stuff aims to point out subtle and not so subtle influences on culture with a traditional, Biblical world view/emphasis... while boiling complex issues down to simple language.

Cooper Stuff Ep. 198 - Pro-lifers Convicted by Totalitarians
Pro-lifers may face more than ten years in prison for protesting abortion, while other violent protesters aren't even arrested, or are set free without bail. Why is this? Today we talk about the arbitrary rule/law of totalitarian regimes versus the static moral law of God. We also talk about "Christian nationalism" and the incredible insidious statements made by the Christian Left including William Barber, Russell Moore, and Preston Sprinkle. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Cooper Stuff Ep. 197 - The Hyper Political Christian Left Who Claims They're Apolitical
On this episode, we play several videos that will undoubtedly surprise many people. Last week we discussed whether or not churches/pastors should get political, and whether or not that's even a possibility. This week, a myriad of examples popped up that support my thesis: The Christian Left who accuse Christian conservatives of being politically motivated reveal themselves to be hyper political in shocking and unbiblical ways. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Cooper Stuff Ep. 196 - Pastors, Propaganda, and Political Vision
Should pastors stay away from politics? I understand the notion, but is that possible? What if there's so much progressive propaganda that lies seem like the truth, and then pastors teach morality based on faulty information? Today we read some headlines from the last ten days where the truth has been revealed, and the moral implications are stunning. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Cooper Stuff Ep. 195 - Christian Rappers Call Lil Nas X to Repentance
Rapper Lil Nas X releases his blasphemous video for the song "J Christ." Christian rappers speak out against it and call him to repentance. This leads to a discussion of what it means to live in moral relativism; to not be able to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil. Most importantly, we discuss Isaiah 5. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Cooper Stuff Ep. 193 - Lil Nas X, Christian Music, and What to Expect in '24
Rapper Lil Nas X says he may try Christian music phase. Two famous Christians reply publicly with very different responses. These two responses are extremely telling about what we can expect in the church and in the culture this coming year. The split in the American church is reaching a breaking point. We all need to be prepared so that we can pray and ask God to give us wisdom and teach us how to be a light in a dark world. ► Use code: WWW23 for free shipping on all Cooper Stuff merch https://stores.kotisdesign.com/cooper-stuff ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Cooper Stuff Ep. 192 - Response to Rob Reiner's Christian Nationalism Trailer
One question that I get asked often is "Why are you so political?" In fact, I think that confusion over politics is one of the greatest challenges to the church today and is causing massive division. This episode is the simplest explanation possible for why we cannot escape politics. Secondly, I discuss how secular social justice has twisted true justice, turning it on its head. Many Christians have fallen for this and have fought for secular social justice. And even though the results of their policies have caused much pain for the very communities that they aimed to help, these Christians never apologize; they never repent; and they never change course. ► Get your free trial with Covenant Eyes by using the promo code: Cooper https://www.covenanteyes.com/ ► Use code: WWW23 for free shipping on all Cooper Stuff merch https://stores.kotisdesign.com/cooper-stuff ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Cooper Stuff Ep. 191 - Christians are a Bigger Threat To America Than Al Queda?!
Democratic strategist James Carville appeared on the Bill Maher show and claimed that Christians—and/or Christian nationalists—are the biggest threat to America…."worse than Al Queda." He made many other claims that are a brilliant way to illustrate (1) That Christianity is truly under threat in America. (2) Christian nationalism is used to mean "traditional Christian." (3) The left and the right mean very different things by the word "democracy." This short episode is packed with extremely helpful insight. ► Use code: WWW23 for free shipping on all Cooper Stuff merch https://stores.kotisdesign.com/cooper-stuff ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► Connect with JP Sears and Brave Books: https://awakenwithjp.com/ https://bravebooks.us/ ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.
