Summary

In this episode, we welcome John Cooper back to the show. He is one of the founding members, lead vocalist, and bassist for the twice Grammy nominated and 12-time platinum band Skillet. Skillet is one of the best-selling and most streamed rock bands of the 21st century. He is also the host of the Cooper Stuff Podcast. Additionally, he is the author of two books: Awake & Alive to Truth and his new book out now called Wimpy, Weak and Woke: How Truth Can Save America from Utopian DestructionI. In this interview, we discuss why for the first time in over 20 years that Skillet is not signed to a major label, whether or not fans of their music can expect to hear a different sound now that they are independent, why he decided to write a much more detailed second book, why “third-way” people are wrong, how accusations of “divisiveness” cripple most Christians from speaking out against demonic ideologies, how weak pastors and absent cultural prophets exacerbate this problem, why you should ignore the “Tone Police”, how philosophies like Critical Theory have pervaded and invaded the West and its churches, what can be done about all of this, and much more.
