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.

I often hear phrases such as "God is bigger than the Bible." Today I'm going to explain why I think we should not say this. There is a sense in which it is true, but typically it is used to subtly lower the authority of the Bible. I hope to convince you today!

Today we talk about something we've never dabbled into: Bethel controversy. Podcaster Mike Winger released a 6 hour expose on Bethel's knowledge about one of their most platformed "prophets," Shawn Bolz, who allegedly data-mined personal information about people and used it to fraudulently prophesy to them. These and other accusations has caused a firestorm in the evangelical world, especially in its charismatic corners. Today, we ...
What is going on in Nigeria? Both comedian and talk show host, Bill Maher, and President Trump announced that tens of thousands of Christians have been killed in Nigeria. Is this a true? Many of us have heard rumors about this for several years. Today, the man who was recently used to bring the truth to light and flip the public perception on the veracity of these claims joins Cooper Stuff to explain what has transpired, in what ma...
Everyone is talking about Jesus these days. Is this revival? Is this cultural Christianity? Today we discuss these implications on our society, and we touch on the concept of repressive tolerance.

There are some good signs in America that indicate the beginning of revival. People are going to church in huge numbers, Bible sales are increasing physically and in digital sales, many people claim to have just come to the faith since the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Why is this happening? Today we delve into the battle happening within American evangelicalism. In doing so, we describe what some refer to as Thirdwayism; and fina...

One week after Charlie Kirk's assassination, the country is still roiling and processing. When it comes to the notion of a unified country, one thing that must be discussed is various views on liberty and speech. Today we outline three different concepts on speech: enlightenment, liberalism, progressivism, and a Christian philosophy of speech.

Allegations have come against Michael Tait, former singer of dc Talk and The Newsboys. Subsequently, Michael Tait released a public confession, admitting to "the substance" of the accusations. This was followed by many more allegations of an extremely serious nature. Today we discuss how to move forward. This is a very weighty moment.

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...

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?

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 ...

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same.
