Summary

Today we're thrilled to welcome John Cooper, author, podcast host, and lead singer of Skillet, back to the show. John's book, "Awake and Alive to Truth," discusses how the idea of truth has changed over time and how that's affected the church. Philosophies like postmodernism and critical race theory, in direct constrast to Christianity, view truth as subjective. They are literally "self"-centered, suggesting that truth can be different to everyone. Furthermore, unlike other religions and secular philosophies, Christianity is the only thing that says we humans have inherent value. It's unfortunate that these ideas have infiltrated the church, but understaning them is an important part of being able to defeat them. --- Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Clubs: Annie's Creative Woman Club helps you experience crafts like painting, needlecraft, beading, candle and soap making, and a whole lot more!

Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Hope everyone is having a great day. Today I am talking

0:14.6

again to the lead singer of skillet, John Cooper. He also was an author. He's a podcaster.

0:21.0

I've had him on the show before in the last episode that I had him on was super popular.

0:27.7

You guys loved him. So today we're continuing that conversation talking about some new stuff

0:32.6

as well. And as much as you loved that first interview, you are going to love this one

0:37.4

even more. And I'm so excited for you to listen to it without further ado. Here is John Cooper.

0:48.2

John, thank you so much for joining me again. It's so good to be here with you again. I love

0:53.5

it. It's a good honor. It's the best thing of 2021 so far. Oh my gosh. Wow. That is an

0:58.6

honor to hear you say that. Well, we are going to talk about, we've talked about your book

1:03.1

before it came out, but now that it's been out for a little while, I want to, I want

1:07.8

to recap my audience on on what the book is. I have it actually right in front of me. Why

1:12.4

you wrote the book, kind of what the reception has been and how you think it speaks to the

1:17.8

cultural moment that we're in right now. Well, that's so nice. Thank you. Yeah. The book

1:22.3

is called Awaken Alive to Truth. You know this because you've written a book. It's funny

I know. But no one else does. I, you know, I've seen typos in my book and no one else has

1:38.8

ever brought up a typo. And so just understand that that it's just you. Who notices it? Oh,

1:44.2

maybe it's right. Maybe it's like when you play on stage, you know, and you know that

1:48.8

you're hitting all those wrong notes and and that does scream. And but well, hopefully

1:53.6

they're screaming if they ever go to concerts anyway. But the point is the book is Awaken

1:58.7

Alive to Truth. I'm very passionate about this, this shift that has happened in the way,

2:04.8

not just in America, but all over the world and the way that we view what truth even is.
