Cooper Stuff Podcast

Melissa Dougherty joins the show to speak about her book, “Happy Lies.” It is such a fascinating discussion that we had to make this 2 episodes! If you’ve wondered why the self-love, positivity, and wellness movements sound vaguely Christian, this episode will help explain it. It will also explain the differences between these ideas and Christianity. The most surprising aspect of this is finding out the source of these ideas, which...

I preached a sermon at Ascent Church this week titled The Mature Man. This message was on my heart and I wanted to share with you.

A new Barna poll has been released showing that Christianity is in decline in America. However, there have been many other signs that it is increasing. Today we look at the data and discuss what it means to truly be a follower of Jesus.

Today we have Krista Bontrager and Monique Duson from The Center for Biblical Unity join the show to talk about their book, Walking in Unity. Cooper Stuff had the privilege of reading the book and giving it an endorsement last year. The topic of race has become such a flashpoint over the last handful of years, and there is still much to talk about and much to learn. How do we walk in unity?

On the week of Easter, Christianity Today published an article titled, “Was Jesus Crucified with Nails?” The article implicitly calls into question the inerrancy of Scripture, which Cooper Stuff considers unacceptable. Today we cover the story, along with a statement of apology by the author of the article and Christianity Today, but is that enough?

Happy 2025! Today we talk about an unlikely combination: fear and delight, based on Psalm 112. This is how you get closer to God this year!

It’s time for a regime change in American evangelicalism—a rise of the normies. Today we look at two responses to the re-election of Donald Trump to illustrate why our current establishment leaders aren’t good “war-time” leaders because they don’t understand what most Christians in this country do: (1) that it is imperative that we stand against the tide of evil in our nation before it’s too late. (2) how we should do that and the ...

Trump wins what can only be called the most remarkable political comeback in our lifetimes and possibly in American history. Cooper Stuff shares why we believe this is a sign of hope, and why we must use this time to stand for truth.

Today we have Jep and Jess Robertson on the show to talk about their children’s book on adoption. We discuss everything from Duck Dynasty to adoption, to the incredible truth that we are adopted into the family of God. This is a fun episode!

The opening ceremony of the Olympics created massive controversy for multiple reasons. As drag queens paraded around with children present there appeared to be a parody of da Vinci‘s painting of the Lord’s supper. Many, including Cooper Stuff were offended by this and spoke out. Meanwhile, we have unprecedented things happening in the political realm as President Biden drops out of the race and within 48 hours, vice president Kamal...

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...
