Today we finally start our series on The Leftward Drift Of Christian Elites. We shifted our first topic due to the comments made by John Cooper on deconstruction that blew up the internet. Many people and outlets weighed in to the controversy. “The Gospel Coalition” and “Desiring God” provided us with great examples of how the elites are not leading us well. It’s time for a rise of the laypeople.       ► Buy John’s new book, Awake & Alive to Truth: Finding Truth in the Chaos of a Relativistic World http://www.johnlcooper.com/awake   ► 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.

Cooperstuff Ep. 100 - Part 1: The Leftward Drift Of Christian Elites…On Deconstruction

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.

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. ► 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.

Cooper Stuff Ep. 205 - Harrison Butker Sparks Uncontroversial Controversy

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.  ► 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.

S&S Ep. 7 - Zeal for God Makes People Hate You

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.

Cooper Stuff Ep. 203 - Happy Resurrection Day!

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.
