John Cooper Christian Rockers SKILLETwho regularly speaks of his faith in secular spaces and expresses his opinions on the social and political issues of the hot button, recently joined Michael Knowles For a game without restraint of “yes or no” – where the questions are difficult, the debates are real and there is no room to dodge. Asked if the stereotype “Rock Star Lifestyle” applies to Christian groups, Cooper said (as transcribed by Blabbermouth.net)) “Yeah. Well, that shouldn’t, but unfortunately it is … everyone does stupid stuff, and many people present as something they are not, whether it is hypocrisy or whether it is only a game or if they have fallen into sin, everything that can happen, launch it in the judgment.
“I was naive when I entered the scene,” he continued. “I just thought that everyone was going to be totally sharing and it will be anything. And then you enter it, and then you are, like” Oh my God. I think he strikes my wife. I’m almost sure he hit my wife. “Same thing in politics … Honestly, I haven’t been much in everyone’s political, but in recent years I have been, and I am, like” you mean that the same guy who continues to speak of God and the country is there? This kind of thing seems to be a grain, and it is simply a question of making money.
John wrote in depth on his opinions in the two books he has released so far, “Awakened and living in truth”which was released in December 2020, and “Wimpy, weak and awake”which became available at the end of 2023.
In an interview New Baptists,, Cooper said he is “always an open book” with regard to the way he speaks to the media. He said: “We are frank on Christ because we are frank that he is the only means towards paradise, but not only on Christ. We are also frank on moral issues. I speak all the time of abortion. I say them about transgender theory taught in schools. I defend biblical compassion.
Cooper said Baptist press On the way in which his faith directs him to talk about cultural questions: “If Jesus is the truth, it means that he has something to say about culture, politics, abortion and sexuality. The Bible has something to say about these things.”
In various interviews over the years, John said that he “had always had faith in God” and that his mother was a “fanatic of Jesus”. He also said he was ready to put his career in play to take a stand for Christ.
In April 2021, Cooper said to “Undauted.life: a man’s podcast” That it was perfectly good for Christians to play rock music. “I would say that music is not created by the devil; (it is) created by the Lord,” he said. “All things have been created by God. Thus, instead of thinking that the devil has a kind of music, I would say capture this music and bring him back into the subjection under the lordship of Christ.”
