The Chief’s kicker, Harrison Butker sparked a major controversy when he gave the commencement speech at Benedictine college, where he promoted traditional family values and a biblical worldview. The meltdown and vitriol towards Butker in the media and from celebrities such as Pearl Jam’s Singer, Eddie Vedder has been frankly surprising. Today we discuss what Butker said; how his detractors have lied about his speech; and finally we play the viral clips from Eddie Vedder so you can decide who is being more honest, righteous, and reasonable.

Today we discuss what “zeal for the lord” means. We read from Psalm 69 and discuss how David can be so confident that he has acted innocently and is being unjustly lied about and hated. This leads to the definition and at times, painful results of having zeal for God.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
