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. 178 - The Simplest Explanation About Our Political Divide Ever

Cooper Stuff breaks down what the divide is over in 3 minutes! The rest of the episode explains how the divide began and how it pertains to our current division. ► 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. 177 - Why Christianity Today is Wrong About Oliver Anthony
Oliver Anthony's viral hit "Rich Men North of Richmond" has become an unquestionable culture moment. Some have even gone further, calling it a right wing "culture war" song. Christianity Today published an article claiming that the song "doesn't love its neighbors"— a point that I roundly disagree with. Today, I explain what I believe the song is about, and why, In my view, Christianity Today has not only missed the entire point of the song, but they are revealing yet again that they believe the true evil in society isn't coming from the atheistic, secular, sexual, and socialistic revolution. Oh no! The true destruction of society that must be called out is anything that promotes traditional Christianity or conservative ideas. ► 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. 174 - The Rot In Christian Music
Last week, NRT (New Release Today) published an article called What The Bleep Is Happening To Christian Music? It discusses the trend of shocking things happening in Christian music like dropping F bombs in songs, a Christian drag artist, sexual innuendo, and suggestive dancing. Today we will look at the article and discuss these items, but more importantly, we'll look at some of the negative responses that NRT received from christian industry insiders! It's truly marveling to see people who claim to follow Christ make such ridiculous statements; but even more disturbing is that they misuse the Bible to justify their claims. The rot is real. We're bout to turn some heads with this episode. ► 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.

Evil is showing its face in increasingly brazen ways.

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.
