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 ...

Democratic strategist James Carville appeared on the Bill Maher show and claimed that Christians—and/or Christian nationalists—are the biggest threat to America….”worse than Al Queda.” He made many other claims that are a brilliant way to illustrate (1) That Christianity is truly under threat in America. (2) Christian nationalism is used to mean “traditional Christian.” (3) The left and the right mean very different things by the word “democracy.” This short episode is packed with extremely help...

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 c...

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. Watch today's episode to understand i...

This week I went semi-viral with my comments about Christian music’s “Dove Awards,” in which three provocateurs showed up. On todays episode, you’ll probably notice that I’m fired up due to the absurd silence of Christian platforms. Where is the solidarity from the industry, or from the Christian platforms? They are nowhere to be heard. The truth will set us free, but much of American Christianity believes that the truth is impolite. I’m sick of the wimpy, weak, and wokeness in our churches! We ...

As we continue to talk about the conflict in Israel, we must confront the issue of multiculturalism. Is it arrogant or bigoted to say that some cultures are better than others? Today's episode will be extremely illuminating for people who want to understand what’s happening in our world, and why we must stand against it. We cover postmodernism, multiculturalism, and Foucault’s “heterotopia.” All of this is explained more thoroughly in my new book “Wimpy, Weak, and Woke,” available for pre-order,...

Today we continue our Sword and Sheild series. Our Scripture is Psalms 45:4. We tend to either lean towards grace or truth, but the Bible tells us to live in grace AND truth. We are to be victorious in the battle for truth whilst being meek!

The horror of the massacre in Israel by Hamas has shaken the world. Though the history of this region is complex, the atrocity and brutality exhibited by Hamas must be spoken against. Meanwhile, we have seen American university groups, some in the media, some BLM chapters, members of Congress, and even Christian influencers either support Hamas or bring moral equivalence between the violent acts of Hamas and the perceived oppression against Palestine from Israel. As I explain in my new book, Wim...

Today we begin a new series called “Sword & Shield.” This series was birthed from the deep desire to help strengthen people’s faith in the midst of a world gone crazy. They will be short videos with a Scripture reading followed by thoughts and application. Today's reading is 2 Kings 6:15-17. Elisha had spiritual eyes, and so he knew that the army of God outnumbered the army of darkness.

You know that feeling when it seems like everyone is trying to be a bigger victim than everyone else? And as long as someone presents themselves as a victim, no one is allowed to disagree with them or question them in any way? Our culture has put a premium on victimhood, and it has even infected the church. But Cooper Stuff is here to remind you that there are no victims in the kingdom! Today, we discuss our identity in Christ, having received sonship that we do not deserve. Then, we read a coup...

I announced my new book, “Wimpy, Weak, and Woke” this week. While I’m aware that the title is provocative, I must admit that I’m surprised at the amount of people who were extremely upset about a book that they haven’t even read! Comments such as “Jesus wouldn’t approve of this;” “white Christian men” are bad; “American conservatives aren’t truly Christian” really shocked me.

Oliver Anthony’s viral hit “Rich Men North of Richmond” has become an unquestionable culture moment. Some have even gone further, calling it a right wing “culture war” song. Christianity Today published an article claiming that the song “doesn’t love its neighbors”— a point that I roundly disagree with. Today, I explain what I believe the song is about, and why, In my view, Christianity Today has not only missed the entire point of the song, but they are revealing yet again that they believe the...
