Skillet Frontman Hits Back at 'Wimpy, Woke' Culture: 'Our World Is Crumbling'

[@lindamitchell-fox1926]

Much respect for this man! He doesn’t compromise and truth is his guide

[@clinthowardii8948]

Write down his theology on paper… It doesn’t make sense there’s not a Bible college in the world that aligns with this

[@rachelparsons8804]

Courage and truth! This man speaks God's truth.

[@MothOnWall]

Amen.

[@robdaniel4785]

I'm not very religious but I am devastated at what the once moral people have become so tolerant of the poorly behaved masses. Really need strength, we have the numbers!

[@jvo3777]

Not religion, relationship with your creator. Seek Truth while it can be found. Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." -John 14:6

[@sandsleeper3124]

We may be close to a point in time when everyone will be forced to pick a side. God's truth or the lies of the world. The left is gaining power and they are using that power to force conformity to their way of thinking. We may have the numbers now but history shows that most people will conform to tyrannical oppression.

[@idid138]

"Once moral people" includes our religious leaders. Be careful who you follow. Follow God's word. Luckily there is more info every day on God's word at your finger tips. Look for yourself. Start at "In the beginning"

[@idid138]

And if you want to hear some good discussion on the 1st 5 books Google Tora Pearls.

[@ifyouloveChristyouwillobeyhim]

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." ~James, New Testament It's time to approach the Father God asking for mercy in the name of Jesus his son, so that he will teach you how to be saved from the pollution of the world's influence and sin, and keep his commandments.

[@northernforestwhitetail]

Fantastic discussion- thanks for publishing this. More people need to hear it.

[@chipgalloway8770]

64 year old man, who has followed you and your band for 20 years! Thanks for speaking truth! You love the character of Jesus, and do not compromise! Thank you brother! God bless you!

[@angeldesigns1385]

Amen brother

[@andreahall6709]

Thank you for speaking out on this to raise awareness

[@jacqueB6151]

Thank you, John, for telling it like it is!!!

[@synthoelectro]

met this dude once in my town, when they were just starting as a band, during 97, at a local music show.

[@morecringe89]

I agree with Mr Cooper.

[@marysanders4649]

I fear this country may already be lost.

[@cliffwarner4511]

Right on Coop i am Hearing And feeling you Jeep it up!

[@kevingoodemoot]

To be stong we have to REPENT Yes TRUTH is Part of Repentance

[@user39h2j8il]

What does repent mean? In the original Greek that the NT was written in? It means CHANGE YOUR MIND. It doesn't mean what the world has thought it meant. Its 8mportant to understand the original scripture in context.

[@YanMan321]

Christ or chaos... Good word!

[@dawnemile7499]

I quoted a scripture and KZbin messaged me that it was "hate speech."

[@jillm9801]

That's nuts!!!

[@ShelbylunaMorgan]

I am definitely going to order this book. Love this band.

[@homelesspilgrim]

If someone gets offended at the truth, they're probably not going to make it through these last days. We must receive a love of the truth or else we'll be given over to a strong delusion. Sometimes the truth is supposed to hurt, that way it has a stronger impact when it's spoken so that people can remember it.

[@fitrunner1317]

I’m with you John! I stand for the real truth not man’s nor the works says . We must stand up and be set apart from the works as born again Christians

[@TheRandomINFJ]

"On the brink"? ...yup! Societys moral compass absolutely lost its needle.

[@Canenugama]

If a Christian supports the woke culture then that’s not really a Christian to begin with

[@ramsareit]

he is against it

[@gppa2127]

I’ve never even seen you but you’re dumber than you look

[@EagleOxford]

The opposite is true. Christ Absolutely speaks of Only tolerance. Read your Bible

[@skannerdk7268]

No, he does not tolerate sin or no repentance for sin. Don't get it all twisted because Jesus had compassion, doesn't mean you can go on sinning without will to change or remorse.

[@jsshay01]

@@EagleOxfordKnowing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior involves wanting to change your life. Never do you stay the same once you know Jesus. He is Lord God Almighty!

[@marysanders4649]

I will have to read that book. It sounds great.

[@principleswise9749]

*Jesus Christ!!! This is going to be a SMART BOOK. I think its a no brainer, we can only get smarter reading it!*

[@duanegregg6222]

EXCELLENT !!! Thank you…. Thoughts and prayers for Skillet, John and family.bless y’all !!! Keep standing on the Rock …rock on. Can’t wait to read it.

[@gracefreshfoodsministries.9634]

Please do not be fooled, there are many distractions before they destroy mill ions of us, irrespective of our religion, and the world very very soon. Please be vigilant our dear brothers and sisters irrespective of your religion, to save your children and loved ones. We plead with you to please humble yourself, fast, pray and ask our one and only Creator for divine peace, wisdom, and power to overcome the deception of these spiritual creatures. We love you dear fellow human being.

[@Nathan.44-40]

Thank You John for standing for Patriotism and true Christianity!💪🇺🇸✝️

[@whitefang9051]

Amen brother man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from mouth of God, not taking this word or that word of God away or adding to it , Heavens and earth will pass away but His word won't Glory 2 God who is the same yesterday 2day and forever amen 2 His glorious truth

[@shalondafielder89]

We are in the last days

[@bratE23]

No, we aren't. They want you to believe we are because they know you. Christians are gonna sit around and wait for jesus to come instead of fighting back

[@gabrielmontalvo751]

I have been listening to Skillet for years, amaizing to watch in concert. John, so blessed you are talking about American values and Gods trurh. May the Lord bless you and your family.

[@NumberSpace]

Consider that if the title of the book offends you, then the book is probably about YOU.

[@oicit8987]

Amen 🙏 God is moving! Do you know what time it is?

[@dawngarvin5431]

Thank you, John, for standing in God's faith, to be covered in the full armor of God, and stand up for Jesus and His truth

[@scubaoctopus]

Skillet is awesome!

[@lilspeth]

Agree...not to mention lacking courage. Will get his book today!

[@Dsturb85]

I ordered my book just today

[@bootsy70]

I SO pray you Skillet are born again in Spirit & growing day by day the narrow way only. You sound good, and Strong - may peace be to you, your family & thank you gentlemen Saint interviewer for another Wonderful interview. Shalom, Peace & Love. Amen. ❤😊.

[@cori1302]

All these trans categories shouting to have their own special category of rights. Yet I never see true intersex people who were born that way, making a big deal out of it.

[@alaysiakayebutler6299]

Great to hear from this man, shows me he is worthy of the Gifts he has and shares, thank GOD!!! YES. Right on. Right on point.

[@rope-a-dope]

Love the this. I had fallen from faith for such a long time and a call was put on me and it's nice to see so many others also being called to this fight.

[@andrewsawyer1375]

It happened in Chicago to a divorced mother. She told her child, "You aren't trans." The father & new wife did. The courts took the child away from the mom & the father got custody all because the child said they felt unsafe.

[@Lynn-wood7]

😢prayers for the child and the family.

[@angermgt1]

so this is spot on

[@JanetPendley-s2z]

Sooo TRUE

[@josephevenhar]

letting people do what they want and stay silent and even entertain this woke stuff through our governments has proven to put our civilization in this state of idiocy

[@jessicadjonne2687]

There’s only one Truth, you’ll find it in the scriptures. Start in Genesis and spend a couple of hours really reading and listening as you allow God to help you see the big picture.

[@RockCity1111]

No more woke.

[@FoxcHoney]

I have always liked SKILLET the band and I LOVE their music, but the fact that John Cooper is an amazing human being is icing on the cake. ❤😊

[@KyleZiebarth-ui9fc]

Neither the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library nor SearchOhio has this book or Average Joe by Coach Joe Kennedy 😔 Where CAN I find them?

Jesus likes the truth so that's what I tell people the truth I don't means words I love Christ❤❤❤

Keep speaking the truth John! Judging by most Amazon reviews, this book has already hit a nerve with the"woke" community.

[@mpr4christ1980]

Wait a minute. Romans 13 does say we should obey the government, but it also says what type of government we should obey! Read the referenced passage very carefully. ‭Romans‬ ‭13:1‭-‬7‬ ‭HCSB‬ [1] Everyone must submit to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist are instituted by God. [2] So then, the one who resists the authority is opposing God’s command, and those who oppose it will bring judgment on themselves. [3] For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have its approval. [4] For government is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, because it does not carry the sword for no reason. For government is God’s servant, an avenger that brings wrath on the one who does wrong. [5] Therefore, you must submit, not only because of wrath, but also because of your conscience. [6] And for this reason you pay taxes, since the authorities are God’s public servants, continually attending to these tasks. [7] Pay your obligations to everyone: taxes to those you owe taxes, tolls to those you owe tolls, respect to those you owe respect, and honor to those you owe honor. If this is not the type of government you're being ruled by, if they enact laws that are contrary to the Word of God, then you are not obligated to obey the government. Obey Jesus Christ instead! Proof from Scripture (just one example of many): ‭Acts‬ ‭5:25‭-‬42‬ ‭HCSB‬ [25] Someone came and reported to them, “Look! The men you put in jail are standing in the temple complex and teaching the people.” [26] Then the commander went with the temple police and brought them in without force, because they were afraid the people might stone them. [27] After they brought them in, they had them stand before the Sanhedrin, and the high priest asked, [28] “Didn’t we strictly order you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to bring this man’s blood on us! ” [29] But Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men. [30] The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had murdered by hanging Him on a tree. [31] God exalted this man to His right hand as ruler and Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. [32] We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.” [33] When they heard this, they were enraged and wanted to kill them. [34] A Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law who was respected by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered the men to be taken outside for a little while. [35] He said to them, “Men of Israel, be careful about what you’re going to do to these men. [36] Not long ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a group of about 400 men rallied to him. He was killed, and all his partisans were dispersed and came to nothing. [37] After this man, Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and attracted a following. That man also perished, and all his partisans were scattered. [38] And now, I tell you, stay away from these men and leave them alone. For if this plan or this work is of men, it will be overthrown; [39] but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You may even be found fighting against God.” So they were persuaded by him. [40] After they called in the apostles and had them flogged, they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus and released them. [41] Then they went out from the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to be dishonored on behalf of the Name. [42] Every day in the temple complex, and in various homes, they continued teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.

I received a copy of John's book today. Keep preaching brother! The Church needs to stand up and promote the Truth of the Bible.

[@yahnahm.7487]

Bible shows it. The way the truth & life. Bless you❤

[@Miss_Michaelz]

As a trans girl and a secular Christian, I officially HATE that I LOVE Skillet's music, and will continue to listen to it for years to come, IN SPITE of now knowing he likely sees my existence as an abomination. Jesus would be SADDENED by your misunderstanding, Mr. Cooper. I pray one day your eyes will be open to ACTUAL truth, and Jesus' ACTUAL message. 💯 PS: My family stopped going to church when I was a child; too many bigots who looked at me like I needed to be killed. It's actually why I love the song "My Religion" so much. ...Your music got me through some of the darkest, hardest years of my life. ...SUPER sad to learn the messages were likely never meant for kids like me. ...I'm gonna go listen to your song "Good to Be Alive" now; it's what I blast into my ears when I'm feeling depressed and hopeless. 👍

Leadership is to blame to a point - and a big one but, people get the leadership they deserve. Living in Canada, I see it in my neck-of-the-wood - the Greater Toronto Area. But, there are a fair number of us that complain and see things differently - and make it known to our "fearless leaders"!

If there’s anybody out there that knows their best albums, or at least a few of their best songs so I can start somewhere… I’d appreciate that
