“… my feels…” 😂

That's what Jesus is that mediator?😊

Your song "Crossfire" is getting me through the most difficult time I've ever had in my entire life.... God bless guys❤🙏🏻

Your band gave me my childhood And now I still listen to it and almost into my adult life and it makes me, well, I don’t know, happy.And it cheers me up in my mood, so I feel optimistic. So Cooper, don't worry, I will always support you even though I live far away in another country.I respect your group and SKILLET, Live forever in my heart❤

Jesus says, if you love me. You will keep my commandments, so then you gotta ask yourself what are his commandments? We are saved by faith, not by works. But faith without works is dead. And works without faith is also dead. But I should show you my faith. By my works. I know the scriptures, but I don't always know their addresses.😂

Great concert tonight in Albuquerque. It was great meeting you and my girls had a blast. Take care my friend and never stop Cooper Stuff. Thank you for sharing the love of Christ from the stage.

Amen, good stuff John

He is our hope.

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Spot on

Is Cooper stuff over?? No new episodes since August :(

Wow how carnal and fleshly never read up on the sexual revolution! Sounds like a good read John. A lot of people have this world view and don’t even realize the ungodly unions they are creating. I think Candace Owen’s actually covered how dark psychology was Freud was low key promoting pedophelia. The Olympics was a joke. My kids will NEVER watch it AGAIN! The person in the dark cloak with the tablet the horseman symbology, but the mockery of the last supper was not directed towards Christianity at all. Another thing to add to the boycott list. (Balenziaga) is the company fashion line. Funny Kanye was against it and now he is all for it.

Many of us have down days,, but just hang in there, accept that it’s a down day or more, many , most , diagnosed with depression suffer from chemical imbalances in our brain, just ride it out, seek God, his love is bigger than some down time. Being down sometimes is nothing to be ashamed of, and not your fault, there is hope , don’t give in, just hang in there, life is too precious , you can live through the down times, and be victorious in life,I pray for angels, to lift you up every single day. Just ride out the rough times, til the light.God Bless us all.cover us Lord Jesus and almighty God who loves us.

Thank you!

Thank you for the messenger 🙏🏽🖤

On 10/4/2007 I lost my 15 year old son Jacob to suicide. I thought it will be alright and I tried to be there for him. He was saved and loved to discuss and debate the bible. He was so on fire for the Lord. But I let my guard down and the enemy came in and stole my son. Even now I still find myself crying and missing my sweet boy. It hurts my heart when I hear how someone is suffering. I just want to shine the light of hope on them. I pray for this young woman and others who are walking in the darkness of suicidal thoughts. Just like a semi colon I pray they hear the voice of the Spirit calling out that their story isn't over there is always hope. Grab the hem of Jesus robe and He will carry you through it.

Thanks for sharing 🙌🏽🙏🏼💜 There are many stories like that of hope. More people need to share them.

I've been a panhead for the past 20 years. Hard to believe it's been that long. Collide was my jam in my teens after discovering Skillet at Hoi Poiloi in, I thiiiink 2004. I remember how excited I was to get the deluxe version of Collide. Rock on, John and the Skillet family, your music points me back to God when I need it most, at my lowest times through the tribulations this life offers through poor health. Speaks to my heart when it needs to hear His love through your work.

Always good to hear from you. Love and grace to the Coopers and Skillet!

Jeremiah 31:25 - "For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.”

Thank you for this!!!!

Thanks for reminding us that so many people around us are hurting and need the Hope we have! One person at a time, one day at a time. Believers, please encourage and pray for hearts to be drawn to God and people to find peace and strength that lasts into Eternity. (John, this message was the one that nudged me to create a profile, allowing me to comment.) Praying for strength, refreshing rest and endurance for the band, crew and families during the tour.

I love how you have such a heart for Christ and for people! You have been my favorite band for over 20 years now and I don't know how you have so much energy still at your concerts. We were at Horizon Music Fest in Nebraska and it was an awesome concert! My youngest daughters first concert and she was a happy girl!

Thanks for sharing. Miss your motivation bro.

Don’t want to hyjack. I appreciate this, massive. Had a mate kill himseld a year or two ago. But, John ! I personally need you back. What other Christian is putting ANYTHING out about the real going on, in the world?? Love you. Just semi, losing my sanity

I started drinking when I was 16. I would drink at parties, but I also started drinking alone because I was unhappy, and I was in a lot of emotional pain all the time. My mom was very aggressive when I was younger, and my brother hated her and so did I. He started hanging out with shady people, he started failing all his classes, he was never home, and my parents fought all the time. I also ran away several times. I was always trying to figure out a reason as to why I was here or what the purpose of life was. So, I started looking at different philosophies, religions, and beliefs. When I was 18 after I was hungover, I got on my knees and I prayed for the first time. I asked if God was real that he would show me he was real because I couldn’t take it anymore. I was crying when I prayed for this. At that moment I felt a presence come over me like a wind. It was barely noticeable, but it was unlike anything in my life I had experienced up until that point. I was surprised when I felt it and I remember saying “what was that?” after that experience I pretty much forgot what happened and kept partying, until my senior year when I got arrested. After my arrest, my parents lost all their trust in me and I was expelled from high school. I was told never to come back. At that time, I felt afraid and hopeless. That’s when I started looking for God, and I prayed that he would reveal himself in my life and that he would give me signs. My prayers began getting answered so consistently that I couldn’t deny that God was doing something. It was mysterious and compelling. I ended up in Church and started reading the bible hours a day. I stopped hanging out with all my other friends because they were continually getting arrested. I was able to forgive my family and myself and to ask to be forgiven. I noticed how at Church people were judgmental and how they formed cliques but were afraid to be around anyone else different from them. It increased my faith because I realized Jesus was not like that and ever since I was young, I saw people as people regardless of who they were. After a while, it’s like I could see God's presence was in my life and then it felt like he wasn’t, and then he was, and then he wasn’t. One day I woke up and felt more depressed than I ever have in my entire life. I felt like I was dying on the inside. That night I prayed, and I said, God, I don’t see my life five years from now I'm going to die Jesus save me Lord, please save me. I was weeping when I said it and when I asked him to save me, I felt a presence inside of me like a heartbeat, and I felt it once like a pulse, and I said Lord please save me and I felt it again even stronger. It was like radiance. When I woke up the next morning, I had transformed everything felt brand new like I was a kid again. All my fears and all my racing thoughts everything was gone. I looked at my hands, and I said this can’t be real, it's impossible. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I saw a different person. I started praying, and the holy spirit became entirely real to me; it was washing over me and inside of me. It was total love and peace, and I heard a voice but not an audible one, it was an inner voice. It said I am with you; I love you, I will never leave you, it’s done it’s finished. That was May 3rd, 2009, and ever since then I’ve followed God, I have seen many things change and many things I know wouldn’t have changed without faith and belief. I know what it’s like to be lost to feel you have no hope. Don’t ever think you’re stuck, or life can’t change because it can. My mom is a Christian now, Its night and day. Some of the things that went away during that period were severe anxiety and my addiction to alcohol. I’ve seen and experienced so many things that are miraculous and seen how God has worked in my life. When we ask God to forgive us for what we’ve done and turn away from our sins and wrongdoings and we believe in Christ's sacrifice everything changes. His word says if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in our hearts that he died and rose again we will have eternal life but not just life after death but abundant life in the present. Our sins are erased not only past, present, and future but our burdens and fears are lifted also. Our thoughts, our minds, our hearts, our souls are transformed and united with God and we know his spirit lives in us. If you seek, pray, and knock you will know JESUS IS KING!!! HE LIVES!

John - just what I needed to hear tonight to put my current issues in perspective. Compared to that story, my crappy day is trivial in comparison. I look forward to meeting you one day, either here in or in the life to come. God bless you and the band! Keep rocking the truth brother!

Thanks so much John&skillet! I like how you said "last night" twice, it reminded me of The Last Night which has always been really helpful to me. I feel this, having the suicide helpline makes me feel so comforted and not alone. THANKS FOR SHARING GODS HOPE TO THE HURTING, I'M ALSO EMERGING FROM LOTS OF SUICIDAL MENTALITY AND TOMMOROW I'M TURNING 19. I FEEL LIKE I'M COMING INTO A NEW ERA AND THANK GOD FOR PUTTING SKILLET IN MY LIFE RIGHT WHEN I NEEDED IT. ❤

Would be nice to see it...guess it got yanked

Thank you for sharing John. I’ve been in the midst of my own recovery journey this year. Let me be the first to say it IS NOT EASY, but I’m slowly starting to see the hope that comes from it. I’ve followed you guys since Awake and I’ve always been inspired by how unashamed you are do your faith John. Thank you

I suffer from depression, schizophrenia and suicidal thoughts on top of emotional breakdowns. Thanks John for this uplifting story.

Hey John. You probably won’t read this but let me send this story into the world for once. Being born in a metalfamily, Skillet was the first band i would listen to and become a fan. It was the only name in my circle at the time that had the music i loved with the love for our faith. I grew up on Collide, Camatose and Awake & Alive. I did not know at the time of how much worth your music would be later on, because a lot of death and suffering all around and inside me came year after year. Your music translated life’s lessons and thoughts/feelings which i understood at the right time. Today so many people in our known (western) world and beyond are suffering or starting to by worldly events. If not a believer it looks like every place has been infected with Evil by now. (Believers know about sin and it’s future.) The weight of my story presses on me, but my eyes refuse to stay dry when it’s about the many people being forced to go trough all these things. We need Him desperately, and i pray for all of us to stand ground and be encouraged trough the spirit. To see your face again, with mentioned memories and burdens, with this message (it’s not meant self-centered), dang it man. I feel spoken to, as well as reminded of others in need. Thank you so much, God bless Skillet and may He guide us all to salvation. Hail to the King in Heaven who will return soon!

I was at that show and heard the announcement. God bless you, John!

6 different times in my life I've been caught in a vortex of suicidal ideation. The first time God reached out and stopped me. The other 5, I realized what was going on and prayed to Him for help, which He immediately provided. Praise God for all He's done for me and others!

Yep. I gave up to easily with my first book "Preylute". God has always put it on my heart to write. Though, I'm back at it again.

Non believers don't read the Bible. Until they do, they will read YOU! Take the time and ensure that everyone we talk to is happier at the end of that conversation than when it started. It might just save a life ....

Amen brother, what an amazing testimony. Will be praying for you guy’s sickness. I’ll be at your show tonight!

Prayers Going Out Brother* I Deal With PTSD, OCD, And An Anxiety Attack Disorder & I BELIEVE God Will Get Me Through ! The Devil Attacks & I'm Like, "GOD How Did I Get Here ? I Feel Him Clutching Me Saying, "I GOT YOU. DO NOT FEAR".... I REFUSE To Cower Down In Fear ! > I Refuse To live The Rest Of My Days In A Fetal Position In Fear Awaiting Death! I WILL Die One Day But Praise GOD I Will Die Living And Unafraid!....Thank You JESUS !* [ i wasn't into drugs when this started. i wasn't into drinking either. i was serving the Lord as best as i could then was in a explosion and was burned badly. that is when these mental problems began. JESUS WILL NEVER LEAVE ME OR FORSAKE ME !*...

Great message. I've been struggling with depression and anxiety for what feels like a decade now and I just can't find the answer to my problems. Hopefully one day I can find the light of God and be better again. I miss being happy.

John 8:12 still undefeated

You were in Kansas City last night? I must have not been paying attention and I missed you guys again. That's okay, I had to work today anyway.

Thank you for sharing this, John! God is using you guys in big ways, and we are so thankful that you’re listening to Him. 😊❤️ Stay safe & rock on, Bro!! 🤘🏼🎸

My fiance took hers. skillet is one of the main reasons i am still here. where depression medicine didn't work, Jen's voice does. Love you all John thanks for everything. Took me a bit but I just finished your book. Wimpy Weak and Woke. Great stuff brother.

Thank you John for sharing. Prayers for your family, band, and you. God is always faithful. I hope you are in a safe tour. Happy Rosh Hashanah! ✝️☦️🛐✡️🕎🇮🇱🇺🇸🇲🇽🦁🐑

PRAISE our LORD Jesus!!!! Awesome message my elder brother!!

The people who struggle the hardest can turn into the strongest, most devout Christians because they have experienced sheer hardship.

Thanks John. We love you, and hope you and yours are feeling better soon. God Bless Skillet and all the Panheads.

Album awake - Never surrender. I listen to it when i'm down and that helps. Also one of the favourite Psalm 23, connecting with album dominion - valley of death... Thank you Skillet, and thank you o Lord. God bless you all. Stay strong brothers and sister.

I've been struggling with the past, grief of my mom and grandparents, and my self-esteem. My self-esteem is so bad. Your band and Linkin Park are just helping me go through it. My self-esteem has been improving since I've listened to you guys and LP. It's been going

Awesome message John, thank you! 💙 You guys be safe, have a great tour! Jesus is amazing! Prayers for you guys in Jesus name! ✝️
