Alice cooper said that being a Christian is the greatest act of rebellion against the spirit of the world.
He's not wrong by any means. 🎉
One of the best aspects of Skillet is that their approach to writing is overwhelmingly a universal message. Yes, it has biblical roots, but the Bible has universal values, lessons and stories.
If only they wrote their songs to an adult audience and not the middle school crap they've always written
@@MyWorld-eb9oz How long has it been since you listened to their music?
@@MyWorld-eb9ozadults don't need to be reached out too. They got their act together it's the reckless youth influenced by Cultural Marxism that need to be reached out to.
There is this super masculine lesbian I don't bank on that she's a Christian she's listening to skillet at work
Well said, I agree 💯 @kaputanium5465
We’re Unpopular but Saved by Grace of Jesus!!!🙌🙌
This song definitely SCREAMS Cooper Stuff podcast lol
Yessss it sure does❤🎉
My favorite line from the song is: "I guess I'm an outlaw, WHOO!". It gets me pumped every time.
John's unwavering beliefs are definitely a great thing to see in this world! Love the song, can't wait for the album!
John's commentary around 15:51 reminds me so much of Alien Youth, which was my first experience with Skillet. The idea of being alien, unpopular, not conforming to the ways of this world is an important message we need to be teaching our young people.
Amen just because we're in this world doesn't mean we have to be of this world.
John's attitude is perfect. Ephesians and Corinthians both commission us to "stand" against evil, it doesn’t specify the type of evil. We recognize its not a winning formula, we will always be outsiders, but the commission is the stare evil in the eye and say "no further"!! Then once our Lord returns he will know we "held the line" against evil, but winning can only come from His hands.
I love you Skillet
Watched this with my teenage boys. So thankful for John and the whole Skillet crew- mine and my kids’ favorite band! We have our tickets for Skillet/Seether in Bethlehem, PA! Can’t wait for REVOLUTION!
A teacher did not like me and always shut me down because I have unpopular opinions 😂
I love the new song. Can't wait for the new LP
Jhon Cooper es una persona muy admirable
Great interview and the new song is awesome!
Keep walking by faith, in God and not the world. 💪✝️
Unpopular= Not confirming to the world.
Yup !!
And that’s something skillet has always represented and been all about
I’ve never been a huge fan of the band. But I’ve always liked John, and he is speaking facts in this interview.
John m8, It's called man glitter! Wood chips, saw dust and sweat is man glitter :) Love it.
I Can't wait for Skillet to come back to City on the Hill Music festival so me and my family can go! Me and the family had an amazing time rocking and praising God!
Jesus was definitely Unpopular and I plan on hanging around with His crowd through out eternity!! He is the (only) way, the (only) truth, and the (only) life!!
Amen
I really appreciate John Cooper's points in this interview. I'm not a Christian myself, but as I've gotten older I've come to learn that the Bible still has value, and that the core philosophies within it are good and teach us a great deal about how we ought to go about living our lives. His specific point about atheists living with no consequences is a great example of this- ultimately they believe that there is no-one to judge them upon the end, and so nothing they do has meaning. Believing in God gives you a set of values to live by, but I think it is also vital that those who do not believe, are still brought up with some kind of core philosophy or manta in which to live by, and compare their choices to.
The new single is a GREAT song that had a HUGE impact on me. LOVE the sound, especially love the message. The lyrics are awesome. The message that comes through your music is life changing. Keep it up!
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love 1 Corinthians 13:13
a strong verse indeed
I completely get it. It was a pleasure to react to the song a few weeks ago and give my own analysis of the lyrics. Keep up the great work, John. Skillet is awesome.
This song hit me hard. It sent me back to school cause I Was the Unpopular kid.
Very good song though. Keep up the amazing songs Skillet
SKILLET IS THE REAL AWESOME CHRISTIAN ROCK BAND!!! JESUS draws his lost people to HIM through SKILLET music!!!! Awesome interview SKILLET!!!

John hit the nail on the head

It's good to be unpopular

Praise the LORD JESUS CHRIST for the stand that Skillet is taking for Him. Thank God for stand they are taking.
Keep preaching the gospel no matter what! We obey God as ruler rather than men.
I lost a friendship because I stand by Jason Aldean's song try that in a small town. I don't care about being popular
That there was a good song even though Jason Aldean does not sing Christian songs as such. I feel that try that in a small town speaks the Christian ethos about looking out for one another and not resorting to following antichrist movements of like BLM or Antifa.
But we aren’t a democracy we are and always will be a Constitutional Republic
The catalyst that lead me to faith in Christ was that I looked what people were saying about the purpose of life. My mother is a Christian but my father turned away from the faith and practiced paganism/wicca. I grew up hearing two opposing views: God exists and wants you to live a certain way and do what makes you happy as long as it doesn't hurt anybody. The catalyst was when I was learning about evolution in junior high. I started to question the meaning of my life. (Back then I compared myself to other people). I asked my brother about the meaning of life. (My brother is close to my dad and shares many beliefs). He shrugged his shoulders and said, "To live". With darwinism (survival of the fittest) in mind, I asked what the point of living if there will alwasy br someone who is stronger than you, faster, smarter, etc. He didnt have an answer so I looked elsewhere. Long story short, I gave my life to Christ and found meaning in purpose in Him. It would be some time later that I'd find new life in Him but thats a story for another time.
" I asked what the point of living if there will alwasy br someone who is stronger than you, faster, smarter, etc."
In general, the meaning of life in the evolutionary process is not to be better than everyone else, but to reproduce life, which, by the way, is not much different from the meaning of life that God appointed in the book of Genesis 1:28
"And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." So life with or without faith in God will not be that much different for a sane person.
@Свистун_Дмитрий In my search for meaning, I found the evolutionary prospect of "The reason for you being alive is to be alive and procreate" lacking. I think that we can all agree that life itself is a miracle and should be cherished. But what I found lacking was the meaningless of it. (To be fair, during this time, I had just read Ecclesiastes, with those famous first words, "Everything is meaningless"). Looking back, I had been unfair to my brother as my question behind the question was about the meaning of my life. But living for the sake of living seems pointless to me.
@@blucreator7747 to live for the sake of life for an atheist is not the final meaning, it is the starting condition. Something like a blank sheet for an artist, and then you have all the boundlessness of your imagination to decide what to fill this blank sheet with. And if atheists are convinced that this sheet is the only one and there will be no other, believers are convinced that this is a draft after which they will be given a new canvas
@Свистун_Дмитрий I'm enjoying this conversation. We are given a canvas the day we are born. The believer also has freedom, to a certain extent, but remembers that the purpose of life is to bring glory to God.
The first time I came to Christ wasn't life changing. It was mostly a result of not wanting to go to hell (fire insurance if you will). By then, I had decided that the purpose of my life is to follow Christ and bring glory to His name.
But later, when I had learned about God's wrath and His grace (two sides of the same coin), my eyes were open to how much God loves me, an individual who consistently had failed, (and continues to fail) to live up to what I believe a Christian should be. But as I seek God, I find Him. As I worship Him in song and deed, I can't help but love Him. As I love Him, I can't help but love other people. Why? Because God is love. God is truth. God is the ultimate reality.
The atheist may find freedom in forsaking religion, turning their nose to the divine. In doing so, they may find freedom to live their lives how ever they wish. But the believer finds freedom in following Christ. They learn that not everything is beneficial. This is why the believer pays attention to what they watch, what they listen to, and what they read. Anything that does not lead to life, leads to death.
@@blucreator7747 In order to love people, it is not necessary to believe in any god, at least for me the lack of faith does not prevent me from sympathizing with people and helping those who ask for help.
And in order to know that not everything is useful, the lack of faith does not prevent me. And in principle, doubting what you see, hear, and read is an absolute norm for the modern world. The only difference is that an atheist doubts one book more than a believer. Although it is stupid to deny that for immature minds atheism is dangerous due to the lack of a clearly expressed purpose for life, which can lead them to the most vile forms of hedonism, and in the realities of the Western world, this probability becomes even higher.
Thank You for this podcast and for the emcee and John Cooper/Skillet.GOD BLESS YOU AND GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH;WISDOM to get your truth and message out there.
Wise Person 💯
Rebel for Christ! 🔥
yeah...well said mate...a brilliant testimony of Christ!!!
God told us to go into the world... go preach the truth to those who have not heard it yet. Jesus sent his apostles into the most hostile areas ever... telling them go deep into where no one knows what you have to say and no one will welcome it. Skillet's out there doing that. Any Christian faithful to the Great Commission should appreciate that John and Skillet are out where we're too afraid to go. The gospel changes EVERYTHING. Jesus himself dined with sinners... and he's won an army until himself through his example.
Tolerance has to go both ways....... Totally agree.....
Great song!!
if you speck your mind and you lose your friends they werent friends in the first place
Thank you for your courage and willingness to stand for the truth.
Great interview great song
My 2 cents: if someone is uncomfortable with seeing skillet in a secular context, I would say they are not the target audience. I truly believe that John and co are using the platform they have to be a witness for Christ. Jesus said follow me. We don’t follow His followers. We all have a ministry day to day. We should all be reaching out to the unsaved.
You always look amazing!!
If you look at the church in through history from the beginning, the real church, it was a COUNTER culture church that stood against what was popular but wrong according to the word of God. Jon is right here. “What’s popular isn’t always right. What’s right isn’t always popular.”
I love this. Rebel for Jesus. We rebel against Sharp Tooth ( the devil). I stood up to a teacher in school once when he kicked some classmates out of the group activity. That was the point of it. I told him it wasn't right
Christ is counterculture
Moving? I hope you’re not leaving Wisconsin.
Isiah 53:5 is Strypers passage from the Bible.
Trump needs to play this at his rallies!!!! ❤❤
That man really needs Jesus Christ 🙏,all these politicians do and the Pope allowing gay marriage and transgender people in the Catholic religion.
Trump 2024.
Glad I clicked in. Now I know that I don't agree with this guy. All about freedom, right up until it's someone else doing something that doesn't comport with his own sense of normal. Then it's bad, and they shouldn't have the freedom to do that.
So to boil it down, John's essentially saying "freedom for me, and my rules for thee."
NOTED.
🤨
Normal translates to "as long as hurting nobody's else's rights".
To each their own
I lose more and more respect for John cooper every day.
Go and be popular than 😂
