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.

Today’s episode is a little raw and unfiltered. There was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump this past weekend. In a miraculous turn of events he survived and was shot in the ear. We are in a truly frightening moment in American history. Today we talk about the incredible evil and darkness rising to bring tyranny upon America, and why so many christian leaders don’t understand what’s happening and won't fight for liberty.

Today we’re talking about a fantastic documentary called “The 1916 Project” that tells the story of where and how the abortion industry began. Pro-life activist Seth Gruber joins the show to discuss the film. You may think you already know about Margaret Sanger and the beginning of what became Planned Parenthood, but you may be surprised and even shocked at what you hear on this episode.

The debate heard round the world between Biden and Trump has set off a media firestorm. Suddenly, the mainstream media and most of the pundits on the left are calling for Biden to step down. Certainly this is unprecedented in our lifetimes and there is a lot to unpack. But in the opinion of Cooper Stuff, the main takeaway is the complicity of the corrupt media establishment who has been in on the sham. They do not like us, our reli...
This week on Sword and Shield we discuss Paul’s exhortation not to be deluded by enticing or plausible arguments in Colossians 2:4. This is relevant to our current moment of deconstruction and the need for clear, biblical teaching. Paul wrestled and was “in conflict“ over his concern for people being deceived by lies. We should have the same love and care for others.

The Chief’s kicker, Harrison Butker sparked a major controversy when he gave the commencement speech at Benedictine college, where he promoted traditional family values and a biblical worldview. The meltdown and vitriol towards Butker in the media and from celebrities such as Pearl Jam’s Singer, Eddie Vedder has been frankly surprising. Today we discuss what Butker said; how his detractors have lied about his speech; and finally we...
Today we discuss what “zeal for the lord” means. We read from Psalm 69 and discuss how David can be so confident that he has acted innocently and is being unjustly lied about and hated. This leads to the definition and at times, painful results of having zeal for God.

Last week the Biden administration memorialized “transgender visibility day” on the same day as Easter. The public mockery of Christianity is bad enough, but even worse is the silence of Christian leaders. But the worst is that some of those Christian leaders have reprimanded and even rebuked Christians for being upset or calling out President Biden. Today, we discuss two principles: rulers are obligated to obey God; and Church lea...
Happy Easter, where we celebrate the most important event in history: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. I hope you enjoy this encouragement and reminder of why the resurrection matters.

Authors Jackie Darby and Aixa de López join Cooper Stuff to talk about their book “Whose Am I?” This book is based on the real life tragic story of Jackie Darby, who was abandoned as a baby and left for dead, but rescued by a missionary and adopted into a family. This interview is such an encouragement as we discuss our identity and adoption into the family of God. Join us for this truly powerful conversation!

Happy 200th Cooper Stuff episode! We start with a must-see montage of maniacal Cooper moments. Then we move on to the need for prudence, wisdom, and shrewdness in the church, and namely, how there has been a lack of it. This is illustrated best by an insane clip this week from MSNBC about Christian Nationalism.

Alisa Childers joins the show to discuss her new book, “The Deconstruction of Christianity.” This episode is packed full of extremely important material. We discuss the differing definitions of the term “deconstruction,” and why Alisa believes that Christians should use the word “reformation” instead. These can be two very different concepts. Today's episode is so relevant and anyone who has been confused about deconstruction will ...
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 Presto...
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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...
