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?

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.

Cooper Stuff Ep. 170 - Sound of Freedom's Bizarre Backlash w/Graham Allen

The film, “Sound of Freedom” starring Jim Cavaziel has become a dark horse box office hit. Shockingly, it’s receiving the most bizarre backlash from Hollywood, Big Media, and cultural elites. It almost seems like these people are against an anti-sex trafficking film! Whats going on? Today, Cooper Stuff teams off with Graham Allen of the Dear America podcast to discuss. Evil is showing its face in increasingly brazen ways. It’s time to rise up. ► Text Cooper to 465322 (Gold22) for a discount on f...

Cooper Stuff Ep. 169 - Should Christians Celebrate July 4th?

This July 4th, there was a rise of anti-American sentiment, even within churches who are considered mainstream. It begs the question, is it more pious to refuse to celebrate July 4th—or even to criticize the country—because of love for the kingdom of God? Does America’s sin of slavery make the principles of the Declaration of Independence and our nation’s founding illegitimate? Is it racially insensitive to celebrate July 4th, as many Christian leaders are starting to insinuate? Today, we answer...

Cooper Stuff Ep. 168 - Demi Lovato Makes Best Pro-Life Argument Ever

For the one year anniversary of the overturning of Roe, pop singer Demi Lovato released her pro-choice protest song, “Swine.” What is shocking is that she inadvertently makes the pro-life argument more vividly and succinctly than just about anyone I’ve ever heard. This is a truly shocking moment that reveals the madness of our day. We unpack it and explain the worldview behind it.

Cooper Stuff Ep. 167 - Poll: 60% of Americans Believe Gender Cannot Be Changed

A UMass poll found that 60% of Americans believe that gender cannot be changed. Today, we break down the differences in opinion between groups based on sex, race, and political persuasion. Lastly, we once again speak about what happens to a nation when we don’t stand up for truth. “Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand it completely.” (Proverbs 28:5) ► Get your free trial with Covenant Eyes by using the promo code: Cooper https://www.covenanteyes.com/ ► Buy J...

Cooper Stuff Ep. 166 - My Response to Christianity Today

I went nuts after reading a piece in Christianity Today called “It’s Time to Forgive Each Other Our Pandemic Sins.” It encourages us to forgive one another (agreed) and stop relitigating the past (disagreed). This article epitomizes why we need new Christian elites/leaders. There is no recognition that Christian elites—such as Christianity Today—cast judgement on believers who didn’t buy into their narrative; get the jabs; believe in the efficacy of masks; or didn’t want to shut down churches, e...

Cooper Stuff Ep. 165 - Campus Craziness w/Alex Cooper

A few months ago, my daughter came on the show to discuss what parents and students need to know going into college. The day the episode released happened to be the first day of her second semester, when the full force of progressive woke-ism came crashing down on her. She is back on the show to discuss how she has been able to be a light in a dark world; how she was able to not use “preferred pronouns”; and what people need to know prior to entering school. ► Text Cooper to 465322 (Gold22) for ...

DeSantis jumps into the race, which is sparking a debate about what conservatives should care about. What is conservatism? It it only about economics and tax policy, or is it about social values and morality? The sexual revolution activism continues to grow as North Face releases a promotional campaign featuring a drag queen promoting children’s line of pride clothing.

Cooper Stuff Ep. 161 - 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 disappro...

A week ago there was a terrible mass shooting at a Christian school. President Biden and the media have both ignored key aspects of the shooting, namely, that Christians were the victims and a trans person was the shooter. This response shows the level of hostility towards Christianity, and the level of danger that is approaching. We discuss how the current tyranny of the left is similar to Jezebel; how we must stand for truth; and finally, we discuss how the overturning of the social order occu...

A clip went viral this week that sparked the question, “what does woke mean?” Some accuse others of using the term but not knowing its definition; others suggest that it’s a racist dog-whistle. The term is super easy to define and like many other things, the progressives are playing a cynical game where they promote their ideologies, and when conservatives point out their own beliefs, we get accused of starting a culture war; not understanding the concept in the first place; and finally, we are ...

It’s time to talk Covid! Things are coming to light regarding the truth about COVID’s origin, the policy response, and the efficacy of those policies. The biggest reason this matters to Cooper Stuff is because so many evangelical leaders helped promulgate the tyranny of the State, as well as condemned fellow believers who didn’t fall in line. Today we discuss all of this and end with a crash course in critical theory, explaining how critical theory turns all things—including science and theology...

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. ► Buy...

Can’t we just get along? There is a push within Christianity to attain unity at the expense of truth.
