Description

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.

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 leaders need to wake up.  ► Buy John’s new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► 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.

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! ► Buy John’s new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► Buy Whose Am I https://a.co/d/gD5zGr7 ► 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.

Trent Talbot is the founder of Brave Books, who creates children’s books from a Christian conservative perspective. Brave is also branching out into video, creating some really exciting and groundbreaking material. Instead of complaining about the darkness of the culture, Talbot is doing something about it! ► Buy John’s new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ►Support Brave Books: https://bravebooks.us/ https://bravebooks.us/pages/the-adventures-with-iggy-and-mr-kirk ► 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.

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. ► Buy John’s new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► 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.

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 undoubtedly benefit greatly by watching.  ► Buy John’s new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► 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.

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 Preston Sprinkle.  ► Buy John’s new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► 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.

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. ► Buy John’s new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► 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.

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. ► Buy John’s new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► 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.

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. ► Buy John’s new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► 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.

Happy 2024! As we kick off the year, we recognize that the world is getting darker. But we must also remember that God has given us everything that we need to be effective and fruitful. Cooper Stuff sets the path forward for how to thrive during what is sure to be a volatile year.  ► Buy John’s new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► 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.

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. ►  Use code: WWW23 for free shipping on all Cooper Stuff merch https://stores.kotisdesign.com/cooper-stuff ► Buy John’s new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► 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.

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 for secular social justice. And even though the results of their policies have caused much pain for the very communities that they aimed to help, these Christians never apologize; they never repent; and they never change course.  ► Get your free trial with Covenant Eyes by using the promo code: Cooper https://www.covenanteyes.com/ ►  Use code: WWW23 for free shipping on all Cooper Stuff merch https://stores.kotisdesign.com/cooper-stuff ► Buy John’s new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► 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.

Today's Sword and Shield passage is from 2 Corinthians 1:12. Following Christ is about the simplicity of obedience. You don’t have to be intellectual, academic, or impressive according to worldly standards. Today Cooper Stuff reminds you that you have a testimony! Obey Jesus, share your testimony, and live in godly sincerity.   ►  Use code: WWW23 for free shipping on all Cooper Stuff merch https://stores.kotisdesign.com/cooper-stuff ► Buy John’s new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► 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.

Today we have Cooper Stuff replay about the definition of Wimpy, Weak, and Woke. The increasing conflicts in America today are often referred to as “culture war.” But what is truly happening is a war between gods – the living God and the god of Man. Wimpy, Weak, and Woke uncovers the philosophies behind utopian dreams that become dystopian nightmares, and presents a positive vision for how we can thrive and flourish. The false promises of Man lead to destruction; God’s ways lead to life. ►  Use code: WWW23 for free shipping on all Cooper Stuff merch https://stores.kotisdesign.com/cooper-stuff ► Buy John’s new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► 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.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you had a wonderful time with your family. Today we (1) announce our Black Friday sale. And (2) I share personal thoughts and concerns about the surprising backlash I’ve received about my book. To be honest, the backlash isn’t even about my book, but the book title! The state of our culture is even worse than I thought.

Today we have comedian JP Sears join Cooper Stuff! You know him by his hysterical YouTube videos, which have millions of views. But what you may not know is his story, his message of saying no to cancel culture and peer pressure, and his stance for liberty. Also, we talk about his new children’s book “Chomp Chomp Chomp” releasing with Brave Books.

Only 1 day until my new book, “Wimpy, Weak, and Woke” releases! As the events of the last week unfold, things are bizarre and seemingly inexplicable. But there is a simple answer to the madness! Today, we discuss why these evil and seemingly diverse events are tied together by the matrix of oppression. The world’s philosophies have infiltrated the church and because we weee ill-equipped to argue against them, it has left many confused and shipwrecked people.

I totally agree with you (except that I'm pretty sure Phil voiced Bob the tomato and Mike voiced Larry the cucumber ;-) ). I think it's worse than you said, though. At first I just thought they were ignorant. However, based on their language and the issues that they were (albeit softly) endorsing, I would call them wolves in sheep's clothing. They are clearly straddling the fence and downplaying the significance of morality. I wouldn't be surprised if one or more of them self-proclaims as progressive within the next year or two. And I really appreciate what you said about youth groups and those who minister to teenagers. Yes, we are at war. The Bible clearly describes our walk with Christ in this way. Thank you for standing up for truth.

Very fair & objective,it seems sarcasm is a tool atheists and woke love to employ to appeal to their listeners feelings since they're usually not very logical.listening from Kenya

Okay, what's crazy is that I listen to your podcast almost every weekday and this is the first time I have had weird feed back. Is it in the recording, cause of two locations via the interview?

I love this. coming out against the Christian establishment and thier obvious hypocrisy. It's funny how much real misinformation they are actually propagating. it's almost like they took a page out of the fed's book.

Yes, I agree. The cackling and belittling here are not Christ like, and definntely not wise. They are making fun of the very real evil, principalities and imaginations that are threatening and causing a very real, very big falling away.

Great episode. Just one comment, though: You don’t need to be an anti-v-er to be against the Covid or other shots. Labels like that are not helpful 😊 Thanks for your thoughts and for helping others to be bold to stand firm amidst this craziness.

so glad you are having more people listen to your music. I laughed a bit when you said that because I think my 6 year old son is part to blame for that, I think he listens to Skillet on Amazon Prime ALL. Day. Long. we homeschool, so he gets extra time to do what he wants. in the last few months he has grown his playlist from Monster into about 25 songs. He loves your music!
