Skillet’s John Cooper: Young people ‘are being lied to’ every day

[@timp1051]

John has more of a backbone than most pastors today.

[@michaelzainey5781]

I love it.

[@laurenkwarren]

INCREDIBLE!!! Soo thankful for John Cooper and how he is standing up for truth!! We watch and look forward to his Cooper Stuff Podcast every week. My children are rocking Skillet, and John has been an incredible encouragement to our faith during these last two crazy years!!! God bless him!! And God bless you for sharing this!

[@shae482]

I remember he gave this speech at the Lexington KY show. There was a lady that was a few rows away from me that made it through the whole show without a problem. But once John started talking about what Jesus did for us on the cross, the lady began to have a seizure. John immediately stopped everything, called medical and had the house lights brought up. He and everyone else in the arena started praying over her. It was so quiet you could probably hear a pin drop. Medical and Skillets production manager were able to help the lady and help her out. Goes to show that the Devil doesn’t Sleep.

Wow, what a story. Thank you for sharing it🙏

[@Moviefan2k4]

He may not sleep, but he's already lost the war thanks to God and Jesus Christ. All we need to do as people is keep our eyes, hearts, and minds fixed on God and His Son Jesus; everything else will work itself out.

Skillet's helped God raised up an alien youth before, and I'm pretty sure he'll use them do it again. The world needs it now more than ever and John is so excited to get out there and wake people up especially after all the lockdowns.

Why are the "likes" not showing 🤔. Anyway, love John Cooper and Skillet!! His book was great!! Jesus and the Bible are the hope and truth for a lost world.

[@yeshuaislord3058]

Yeah!!!!! Tell it brother!!!! Praise Yeshua Ha Mashiach!!!!!!! He is the meaning of life!!! A relationship with the God of the universe is the meaning of life!!!!! His word is perfect and it is so much more than a book.it is instructions on what to do and how to live when you have a relationship with Christ! And it shows who he is and why we need him!!! This was truly awesome to hear brother John!! Yeshua is using you to open peoples eyes

[@dominiclapinta8537]

Foundation... Foundation is the key. Even when I wasnt into the Bible and I was confused, still, because a true foundation was in place, it caused me to devour the word of God as I got older. Thats the thing. Not just a Christian upbringing, but a truly rooted upbringing that you are forced basically to always be around people who have a true relationship with Jesus Christ and have tasted of the true power of the Living God. All of these influencers who have abandoned Jesus, yes, THEY abandoned Him, have absolutely nothing for me and no reason they can say will make me divorce Jesus Christ and His Word from me. We have to come to the same point that Jesus did, where He said, that the prince of this world is coming, and he has nothing in me. These influencers got nothin i need

Every deconstructed person I’ve met has been nothing but kind, despite how unkind their church community may have been to them, we really need to stop spitting on people who walk out the door

[@robertslimm9319]

Many Disciples Desert Jesus Many of his disciples said, “This is very hard to understand. How can anyone accept it?” Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining, so he said to them, “Does this offend you? Then what will you think if you see the Son of Man ascend to heaven again? The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But some of you do not believe me.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning which ones didn’t believe, and he knew who would betray him.) Then he said, “That is why I said that people can’t come to me unless the Father gives them to me.” At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?” Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. We believe, and we know you are the Holy One of God.” Then Jesus said, “I chose the twelve of you, but one is a devil.” John 6:60-70

[@lathanlyons3218]

Amen I love John cooper. He is so right on

[@John-ue8md]

I'm thankful for Skillet and other messengers of God. Mark 16:15 says to "go OUT into ALL of the world and preach the gospel to EVERY creature." When someone is obeying God and someone else tries to shut them up they are telling God to shut up. The world needs Christians who are willing to put on a show AND spread the gospel, because without the performance the world would never hear the message. Jesus himself went out into "uncomfortable" situations in the world and spread the gospel to "lost souls"... shouldn't we follow that example? "Preaching to the choir" doesn't expand Gods' kingdom, and we aren't called to just preserve what is already saved by God... that could lead you into trying to take credit for what you didn't do instead of recognizing what God has already done. I'm excited for whatever God has planned for me even though I know it won't always be easy or comfortable . Thank you for sharing this encouraging message.

[@Daniel2131-z4h]

The Lord Jesus is the Only Key to your heart no other key can fit that lock in your heart. Jesus Christ is THE MASTOR KEY OF YOUR LIFE. Turn to him ask him in your life. Ask him to forgive your sins. Believe he is The Son of God . Receive him by faith and repent of your sins. May Jesus Christ be with you all Amen.

The only truth is found in the Bible. Every day we read about some new things scientists have discovered, discounting what we were told before. Man may have knowledge

[@harrypotter-believingathei6191]

Like what?

[@corinneayres8517]

Once we were told Columbus discovered America. Not any more. Pluto used to be a planet. Not any more. Could go on and on with new "discoveries". Man has limited knowledge which changes constantly. God's word never changes. The promises He makes to us in the Bible will always be kept.

[@harrypotter-believingathei6191]

@@corinneayres8517 How do you know that the bible is god's word?

[@corinneayres8517]

I can"t prove it. Man can"t prove it. But have you ever felt something in your heart that you just knew was right. No matter what someone else said you knew it was true? 5 years ago I was diagnosed with cancer. Has God healed me? No. But at that scariest time of my life I prayed for help. And God heard and answered me and has given me peace just like He promised. I still have scary, depressing days but when I ask God for comfort and to calm my mind He does. Until you turn to God and learn to trust Him you will never know all the blessings He has in store for you. All He asks of us is to believe and trust Him. Nothing more. Just believe .

[@harrypotter-believingathei6191]

@@corinneayres8517 If you can't prove it and nobody can prove it then why believe it in the first place? The time to believe in something is when there is evidence correct? Believing in something blindly is not rational, logical, reasonable. That is gullibility. You can't feel things with your heart...your heart only pumps blood that is all it's good for.

I wouldn't say they're being lied to everyday but if that's what he thinks that's his own opinion

[@amdompals]

Ok-- I am a teacher, and feel very personally attacked and disrespected when he says: "Your teachers are probably lying to you." We have given SO MUCH to our kids over the past few years. Do not DARE accuse us of such a thing. My respect for this group diminished after hearing this hateful and disheartening speech at WinterJam in Knoxville. He gave NO HOPE to teenagers--instead, wondering aloud: "If you're so happy with your sexual revolution, then why are so many of you killing yourselves? Why are you deconstructing? Etc." WHAT?????? I cannot even believe it...providing them with only hateful speech and negativity, and not encouraging them to talk to youth leaders/people they trust about the legitimate struggles that they are going through. Never once encouraging youth leaders to intentionally create safe spaces where their youth feel free to have these open discussions. THIS is EXACTLY why young people are leaving the faith/walking away from the church... I am SO GLAD that my husband's youth group was unable to attend this event.

[@shae482]

The truth isn’t always polite, as he stated in his book and as show in the Bible, Jesus told the harsh truth as well, you think people wanted to hear what he said in John 6:53-54?…and he’s right, also I’m pretty positive he doesn’t mean all teachers as a whole, he probably means the teachers/professors that a good chunk of Christians have encountered like he did in college. Saying we are fools, that we aren’t going to be very successful in life if we believe the Bible. If anything a straight forward speech like this would inspire them to talk to youth pastors or read the word themselves! Talking about celebrities and influencers who eventually kill themselves or are on drugs/alcohol who tell us how to be happy (mainly without Christ) and live a great life should be a eye opener for teens or adults who haven’t turned to God yet. Nothing hateful about spreading what is true. Jesus sure didn’t sugar coat it.

@@Crossbattle777 it honestly doesn’t matter who exactly it was directed to. Jesus was being followed cause he fed them. But what he said was just a way to point out their short-sightedness. They wanted physical bread rather than food that endures eternal life. Jesus was radical with his wording. It was radical truth, which caused many of his disciples stopped following him.

I'm a pretty left -leaning Christian, and even though I love the band (been a fan since I was 9 and now I'm 23), John has been off his rocker since 2020. His political takes on his podcast are just terrible and their latest album Dominion has a shitload of "anti-tyranny" lyrics that reek of right-wing propaganda anti-mask bullshit. And the speech he gives in this video just feels manipulative and fear-mongering. I've stepped away from the church in the past few years and its because of these kind of messages and personalities that are clearly pushing a political agenda and manipulating the uneducated and vulnerable people of society.
