John Cooper is the lead singer and founding member of Skillet, one of the best-selling Christian rock groups of all time. He’s also a podcaster and author whose latest book is called “Wimpy, Weak, and Woke: How Truth Can Save America from Utopian Destruction.”
John sits down with Brandon to talk about the band’s rise; raising a family while touring the world with his band; how he defines wokeness and why he feels compelled to speak out against it now; and his alternate vision for a brighter future.
He also talks about:
- His personal religious journey in the wake of his mother passing away from cancer
- Learning to treat his music career like a business
- How he and his wife divide responsibilities and stay in their lanes
- Why he warns Christian families not to send their kids to public school
- The Marxist origins of Critical Race Theory (CRT)
- The Black Lives Matter riots in his hometown of Kenosha, Wisconsin
- Woke ideology infiltrating Chrstian church leadership
- Why he believes more people than ever will be born again as Christians in 2024
