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.

    Subverting Democracy To Save It? The Durham Report

    The Durham report has been released, and it proves what we already know--our cultural elites hate us. Big Media, Big Tech, the Biden and Obama administration, and Big Corporations all believe that Christianity and its worldview are oppressive and must be destroyed in order to liberate Americans. Therefore, any action used to destroy is seen as moral, no matter how immoral, unlawful, or unconstitutional it may be. In fact, it's not just Hollywood that hates you, but some Christian leaders …

    Cooper Stuff Ep. 147 - Tyre Nichols, The Christian Left, And Division

    Another horrific act of police brutality occurred in Memphis, where five police officers beat a black man named Tyre Nichols to death. The Christian Left responded by blaming white supremacy even though all five officers were black. Cooper Stuff explains why they claim this; why they are wrong; and why their calls for unity are by nature divisive. Lastly, we encourage people to refuse to lie, even when pressured to do so for the sake of "unity." There can be no true unity without division.

    Can’t We All Just Get Along?

    Can't we just get along? There is a push within Christianity to attain unity at the expense of truth. The revolution is happening in a three step process where the revolutionaries say something destructive, the traditionalists get angry, and the revolutionaries accuse the traditionalists of being angry, mean, arrogant, and divisive. Today we read an article from Christianity Today (more like Christianity yesterday) and compare the unfaithful prophets and priests of the Old Testament to our …
