Cooper Stuff Podcast
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. 169 - Should Christians Celebrate July 4th?
This July 4th, there was a rise of anti-American sentiment, even within churches who are considered mainstream. It begs the question, is it more pious to refuse to celebrate July 4th—or even to criticize the country—because of love for the kingdom of God? Does America’s sin of slavery make the principles of the Declaration of Independence and our nation’s founding illegitimate? Is it racially insensitive to celebrate July 4th, as many Christian leaders are starting to insinuate? Today, we answer these questions, and ask those who disagree: what is the benefit of tearing down our founding principles? ► Get your free trial with Covenant Eyes by using the promo code: Cooper https://www.covenanteyes.com/ ► Buy John’s new book, Awake & Alive to Truth: Finding Truth in the Chaos of a Relativistic World http://www.johnlcooper.com/awake ► 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. 168 - Demi Lovato Makes Best Pro-Life Argument Ever
For the one year anniversary of the overturning of Roe, pop singer Demi Lovato released her pro-choice protest song, “Swine.” What is shocking is that she inadvertently makes the pro-life argument more vividly and succinctly than just about anyone I’ve ever heard. This is a truly shocking moment that reveals the madness of our day. We unpack it and explain the worldview behind it.

Cooper Stuff Ep. 167 - Poll: 60% of Americans Believe Gender Cannot Be Changed
A UMass poll found that 60% of Americans believe that gender cannot be changed. Today, we break down the differences in opinion between groups based on sex, race, and political persuasion. Lastly, we once again speak about what happens to a nation when we don’t stand up for truth. “Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand it completely.” (Proverbs 28:5) ► Get your free trial with Covenant Eyes by using the promo code: Cooper https://www.covenanteyes.com/ ► Buy John’s new book, Awake & Alive to Truth: Finding Truth in the Chaos of a Relativistic World http://www.johnlcooper.com/awake ► 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. 166 - My Response to Christianity Today
I went nuts after reading a piece in Christianity Today called “It’s Time to Forgive Each Other Our Pandemic Sins.” It encourages us to forgive one another (agreed) and stop relitigating the past (disagreed). This article epitomizes why we need new Christian elites/leaders. There is no recognition that Christian elites—such as Christianity Today—cast judgement on believers who didn’t buy into their narrative; get the jabs; believe in the efficacy of masks; or didn’t want to shut down churches, etc. There is no recognition that information was indeed available that could’ve led us to sanity and liberty, but our Christian elites ignored it and joined forces with the tyranny of the Power State. I am called to forgive, but I am not called to trust them. It’s time to get fired up! ► Text Cooper to 465322 (Gold22) for a discount on first order at SD Bullion: https://sdbullion.com/ ► Buy John’s new book, Awake & Alive to Truth: Finding Truth in the Chaos of a Relativistic World http://www.johnlcooper.com/awake ► 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. 165 - Campus Craziness w/Alex Cooper
A few months ago, my daughter came on the show to discuss what parents and students need to know going into college. The day the episode released happened to be the first day of her second semester, when the full force of progressive woke-ism came crashing down on her. She is back on the show to discuss how she has been able to be a light in a dark world; how she was able to not use “preferred pronouns”; and what people need to know prior to entering school. ► Text Cooper to 465322 (Gold22) for a discount on first order at SD Bullion: https://sdbullion.com/ ► Buy John’s new book, Awake & Alive to Truth: Finding Truth in the Chaos of a Relativistic World http://www.johnlcooper.com/awake ► 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. 163 - DeSantis, Trump, and Defining Conservatism
DeSantis jumps into the race, which is sparking a debate about what conservatives should care about. What is conservatism? It it only about economics and tax policy, or is it about social values and morality? The sexual revolution activism continues to grow as North Face releases a promotional campaign featuring a drag queen promoting children’s line of pride clothing.
