We play skillet in our church , our pastor is a warrior and loves warrrior songs, we play invisible, undefeated, hero, shout your freedom, seek of it, am not gonna die tonight, etc… am a huge fun … YOU WRE WARRIORS … blessings to the coopers , your songs makes me to fight a good fight of faith …
I'm a new fan of Skillet. I told my boss I was anxious to go to a concert again after many years of groups not touring. She knows I listen to alot of the old Christian rock and she said, "Oh did you ever see Skillet? They're a Christian rock band." I always thought of them not as a Christian rock band, but as a rock band that were Christians. Bottom line I saw they were touring in my city (Reading, Pa) in the next month and me and my boss, both in our 50's went. I was blown away. They rocked- and John is a genius. I noticed he was able to talk about God and Jesus in a way that was very subtle and at times not so subtle, but was a very gentle way to introduce the gospel to people who may have never stepped into a church. They do an excellent job of being true to the Lord while walking in both worlds; kind of like Stryper in the 80's without throwing Bibles into the audience. Absolutely love these guys... and gals.
I love skillet and the fact that they stand on Gods Word
You don't stand on God word and then go off and tour with dark metal bands like Black Sabbath. No, they are promoting the darkness in their deeds but speaking like angels with their mouths.
I jumped onto them in 2009 then listened to their 2003 and 2006 albums and was blown away even further by their music
Love the Coopers and their message 🙏🏻
Great interview! God bless Skillet for taking a major stand!
John & Cory are the best!!! 🙏🏼💕
Yesss!! Worlds collide! Two of my favorite Christian podcasters in one place! And I'm so glad to see you back on UA-cam! ❤
Growing up hearing "Christians dont do political " is one of the biggest lies the Devil ever told. I certainly believed it for most of my life and I got saved in the 70's.
Yeah, just the reminder that people should pay Caesar his due as your (chosen) on-earth governmental leader, makes many people, yes Christians "political". It is part of "getting along" with your chosen surroundings, and being an integral cog in that particular area of life. Certain entities in our society don't want to contribute toward the better of the whole, so to speak.
We used to take our kids to see Skillet....love them!!
The policies by which you live your life, are your politics. As Christians, we live our by the Word of God.
My family and friends saw y'all in concert with alotta other Christian Bands in Simi Valley, CA something like 25 years ago. I'm thrilled to see how your faith has gotten stronger and bolder! God bless you for using your voice to spread the Good News and the Truth in this time that is so much like Roman's 1 talks about.
Great interview!!! Love Skillett!
So glad to get to know them! Wonderful interview, as usual 😇🙌
Standing firm in truth will always be rebellion to untruth.
You are right on skillet!! God bless you ❤
While I am not a fan of rock/metal music, I do enjoy Cooper Stuff and always enjoy it when John brings Korey on.
I love their music❤from Southeast Asia
Great show! John, Korey, Jen, and Seth are awesome! They all put truth to power and power to truth, when they speak!
I pray for this group and know I do not know enough of this type music. I repent if any previous comments came across as judgemental. I will continue to ask God for wisdom and understanding 🙏
Love this interview 🙌🏻
I think the timing is not just by chance for the program the Chosen and Skillet. In these crazy times, crazy crazy times our society needs them now more than ever. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I can't believe how much I fell in love with this Christian band and how they stand firm for the Biblical Christ . it's Our Lord's grace ,that we are able to see them doing so ,in the 21st (Blasphemous and adulterous century).
I love skillet
Great interview! I am thankful for their stand, I am too old to enjoy their music. My son used to torture me with it. LOL
Amen!! Love you guys!!
Listening to the album now! BOOM!
THIS. was amazing.
👍 interview, and perfect reason to search for another CD.
God Bless America
I agree with Eric. God bless Skillet for taking a stand!
Wonderful message about being bold and courageous for the Lord. God, please help us all be like Eric and the Cooper's. Amen.
So proud to tell people that you are a christian band👆🏻🙏🏻 God bless your music
Absolutely love Skillet! I was familiar with them growing up but never a huge fan. In the last year or so I started listening to the Cooper Stuff podcast and learned just how theologically sound John is and love his boldness. Skillet is my workout jam and my kids ask for me to play Skillet every time they ride with me.
I find his interview skills aggravated
Eric, your dry sense of humor is awesome 😂
I Love Skillet!!!! and Winter Jam :)
Absolutely beautiful 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏
Love skillet
We are being driven into the arms of Jesus !!!
Cool perspectives. Would like to hear from the lady more.
Being a Follower of Christ isn't a "sub-culture", as many believe.....it's "Counter-Culture"!!!!
Yes love our lord stand up for our freedoms. Absolutely. True
I wonder when this interview was originally done, as their “new album” is a couple years old now and they were in last years Winter Jam line up, not this years sadly.
Sad that she's deceived by Augustine! Oh well, she is still young and can repent. But a great, great interview and they love Christ and are openly proclaiming Him and His authority over all! Praise God!
Wearing a dress to the Dove Awards! 😀😆 Now THAT is rebelling
I don't know if I missed it, but whenever Eric mentions he's talking to Skillet he refers specifically to John and Korey (the founders).... but what's odder to me is neither of them mention that Skillet is made up of more than just those two. I kind of expected John (or Korey) to make that known.... that Skillet isn't just those two, and that Jen and Seth (among other stand-in bandmates) are what makes Skillet... well.... SKILLET. I love the band so much and have been listening for well over a decade now, but that disappointed me a little.
I like what he said about Beastie Boys pretending to be rebellious to sell albums. I've paid attention to many bands from my teens who are still around who folded in 2020. Circa 1998, it was Rage Against the Machine: "F you, I won't do what you tell me!", System of a Down: "F the system, F the system!", and Tool: "Think for yourself; question authority."
In 2020, all of them: "Just do what they say everybody, stay home, put on a mask, and get the jab. It's not hard."
The true rebels are those who stand for Christ, stand for America, stand for children and the family...but that's also a testament to the founding of our country. This country was founded by rebels, and no, it wasn't easy. And no, it's not easy to keep it.
AMEN TO NO JAB MANDATE!!
we are playing wack a moe against evil right now we have wins in one area and losing in others
What does korey’s tattoo of st Augustine say???
Tattoo? andI love Spurgeon's messages!
We can't throw all this away just because we don't want to be seen as mean!!!
We need help in Canada! And our churches are falling right into the liberal alignment! They refused to rebel against evil! Help!
Most of my family is in Canada. Most Canadians have always been so nice. The woke left took advantage of this. The truckers protest was most heartbreaking. Always praying for the leaders and people in Canada and the States. We all need Jesus in these last days. The Lord told us it would be like this in the last days and He also told us not to be afraid or fearful, because in the end, He wins. Reading Ephesians and Philippians, and the end of Revelation almost daily is helpful. The Lord is with us. And, always be praying. We are all in this together.💔🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️🇨🇦🇺🇸
Paul and Silas
Never thought I'd like a band better than "Led Zeppelin" but--ha!
Are you rebelling against wrong or fighting for right?
Jesus is LORD
Adam's family?
I always check to see who's on TBN so i know to stay far away from them.
Hey, I'm a ginger! Well, yea, I guess I can be a hot head. Especially when it comes to false doctrine and the indoctrination of many many undiscerning, non Scripture reading Christians. Using anger to motivate and energize to preach and teach the Word, the Gospel, Christ, and defend the body of believers, and for the glory of God is righteous anger. I think this comes out in Skillets music.
Lucifer danced before the throne of God and meaning he was part of carrying for initiation before iniquity was found in his heart
The true meaning of words can be recovered by a strange and mysterious technique:
I almost recovered the truth for these words:
Still- the soul idenitifies hope with stillness. So when we say, "still..." Hope arises.
Just- the word just is related to the bond between father and son. If we meditate on this proverb, we could realize more about it:
Do you know that i can become just a good son as you are otherwise i couldn't have paid any attention to you or myself, just to seeking the truth.
right- just rights in the constitution.
yearning- knowing that someone believes in you.
The bible says that this strange and mysterious technique is called carrying the cross. When we find the belonginess of each word, the bible says there won't remain any more problems in life only goodness.
There are many who can not practice the you and this couple consent. Unique times has a very thin line to slip especially the weal baby Christians. What else are we in approval of. Satan is real and just waiting for an open door. This concept needs prayer. I would continue to watch what I hear or see.🙏🙏🙏
The churches have become based on the letter of the Law; as for, how does an individual pray properly in example
And no Lucifer wasn't the choir director in heaven
I love and appreciate the Coopers. Lecrae is ridiculous and typical of the apostate church; he speaks against the Bible. We have to stop playing nice with these so called Christians that support sin.
Jesus tells us to be a light! I don’t see why Christian’s are confused?
If Jesus is King of kings and Lord of all, Christianity IS the establishment. An unbeliever is rebelling against God. Those at the tower of Babel were rebelling against the establishment. Jesus said, "I will build my church and the gates of hell will not withstand it." The church of Jesus Christ is the establishment others, including world governments, are rebelling against.
Or your still asleep compared to Neville Goddards experience we all get fed but still look outside worlds secular dust, Paul gave hints from Skull and Temple for where Christ is in man blinded by outside churches so meat taught by Paul milk drinkers are great but still tares very satisfying for wood crosses a parable flesh believes and waits for christ to come, 2Cor 13:5Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Eric is snarky. It's distracting.
As I have listen to this I heard John Cooper wife say something of Augustine he was never saved Augustine developed doctrine based on experience rather than scripture Augustine had problem with promiscuity and Lust bible refute 1 Thessalonians 4 Augustine distinguished himself as a man willing to use methods of the world and not bible bible Refute 1 John 2:15 Augustine responsible for Bad Theology bible refute Job 11:4 Deuteronomy 32:2 Jeremiah 10:8 Matthew 15:9 Acts 20:27 Galatians 1:8-9 1 Timothy 1:10 1 Timothy 4:6 1 Timothy 4:13 1 Timothy 6:3 Augustine because of Him we have in the church teachings of Gnostics and Pagans Masquerading as Christians Now Charles Spurgeon was mentioned He was not a christain either Charles Spurgeon said he had his own private opinion Bible refute 2 Peter 1:20 Charles Spurgeon making unbiblical assumptions that a person loves God or has the Spirit of God simply because they profess it bible refute 1 John 2:3-5 John 10:5 John 10:27 1 Timothy 4:1-3 Charles Spurgeon comes right out and says that there will be more people in heaven than in Hell and the way of Heaven is wide (Broad) bible refute Matthew 7:13-14 Charles Spurgeon taught Lordship Salvation which is a false Doctrine Bible refute Romans 3:4 Titus 2:7 Galatians 4:16 1 Corinthians 14:8-9 Romans 4:5 Galatians 5:1-4 Romans 11:6 Isaiah 55:8-11 Romans 10:17 Acts 4:12 John 14:6 Galatians 1:6-9 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 Galatians 3:1-3 Deuteronomy 27:18 Proverbs 17:15 proverbs 19:15 Jeremiah 23:1 Titus 1:2-3 Romans 3:4 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20 2 John 1:8 1 John 2:28 1 Corinthians 9;18 John 15:8 John 15:16 1 Peter 1:18-19 Hebrews 10:29
Charles Spurgeon did not belief that changing one’s life was necessary to be saved did not teach turning from sins to be saved Bible refute 2 Peter 3:16-17 Romans 4:5-6 Acts 2:41 Galatians 3:2 Hebrews 4:2 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Charles Spurgeon teaching That Jesus did not die on the cross for all men bible refute John 3:19-21 2 Timothy 2:24-26 Acts 26:18
To say Charles Spurgeon is the greatest preacher is a Lie let’s go back to Bible stop following men and Get things straight from the Word of God
Eric, get away from the microphone and examine what lives in your heart. Do not follow the example of religious hypocrites.
We are not to compromise God's word. The viewer accepting this music and appearance are compromising.
Never knew they were a "Christian band". Labels don't help sometimes. Their willingness however to spread the word should still be there, and they have not been too willing to reach out in the aggregate sense. Too much of an "acquired taste". But you can't please everybody.
Eric. Have you actually watched their music. ? I did. I was neutral before watching but I saw nothing of Jesus in the lyrics or performance of this band. I grew up in the woodstock era, so I’m not a stranger to loud rock music. Jesus is my Lord & Saviour, but if I didn’t know Him…..I wouldn’t find Him here.😞
He is reaching out to people who are struggling, who seem to be on looking for help, but may not be Christians. He is planting a seed. I understand what you are saying though, very harsh songs. My 17 year old son who is struggling, and says he doesnt believe in God but recently found this music. He said he didnt realize it was Christian music at first, and told me about Skillet because I am a Christian. He likes listening to this music. I am looking, right now, for songs from Skillet to send my son that I like that points to Jesus and the hope God gives. "Awake and Alive", "Refuge", and "White Horse" are examples. I found this interview while looking for the Skillet songs.
Did you watch the video or just write a judgement? Actually I seen them live and there is ZERO doubt where they stand and what they stand for. 1 - I Am not a great fan of this type of music but for you to say: "if I didn’t know Him…..I wouldn’t find Him here" is interesting because they have story after story of those deep into the 'bad' stuff coming to Jesus after listening to their music. 2 - If you follow them at all you would not say what you did. They are places in certainly a different culture than I am in but they are ministering in their arena. Does your 12 year old daughter pray and witness to a pot smoking, drug addicted singer who just lost a brother to drug overdose? Theirs did!
You need to checkout their song “White Horse”. The church has been silent for too long and God will use ANYONE no matter who they are or how they look. He is looking for FAITH in these last days and for the people who are WILLING to be a Light in the dark.
Then you haven’t really listened to them. Listen to “Rebirthing,” “Comatose,” “Whispers in The Dark,” and “Hero.”
@@roguedisciple5961 I’ve listened to all of those, got the albums, and I know the AUDIENCE they’re for and that they are from the PAST. A Christian walk is a struggle, if you think it’s easy, you’re not doing it right. Even if Skillet keeps using them now it is because there are still those who are LOST and have left God and this is the way for the Lord to reach out to them and say “I see you, I hear you, you’re not alone.” since many refuse to enter a church out of hurt. So I say again God will use ANYONE, no matter how they look in the church because He is looking for those who will walk in FAITH in the DARKEST of places. Not just a church, not just Winter Jam, not just Christian tours, but are WILLING to share THEIR FAITH, which Skillet does and not all “Christian metal” bands do, and be a Light in the dark and are willing to share the Gospel with EVERY part of their lives. In other words, the songs that are listed above, is this band being TRANSPARENT, sharing a testimony of the Christian walk, which is NOT EASY FOR ANY ONE. And yet they do it pretty much everyday.
Hmm... you flap your gums a lot, but then THE BIBLE SAYS;
Hebrews 13:17 - Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
Romans 13:1-7 - Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God
Titus 3:1-3
Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed, to malign no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing every consideration for all men.
1 Peter 2:17-18
Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king. Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are unreasonable.
... over and over again GOD opposes the gibberish and rhetoric you speak.
What does this have to do with anything?
@@donmcc6573 it has everything to do with everything.
You just got done listening to a self proclaimed "Christian" rant about rebelling against government, when actually the word of God forbid's such behavior.
Real Christians follow and obey the laws of the holy Bible. This guy inspires and encourages real Christians to defy and disobey God.
@@revelationsandvisions7477 He does not encourage anyone to defy and disobey God. Listen with your ears and your mind rather than your preconceived judgments. Do you know why the United States of America exists? England was our legitimate, lawful government. We rebelled. Why? Because of the tyranny of the Crown, and a desire for freedom. John is talking about restoring godliness to a nation that has fallen. And the verses you posted do not apply. The United States government is not our authority. In our Constitutional form of government, We The People are the authority. The government serves us. We do not serve them.
@@donmcc6573 do I know why the United States exist?
IT Exist because God permits it.
But you're saying, since a group of people defied the laws, committed a genocide of millions of native Americans, to steal the land from them, all in the "name of God", we should defy the laws of God as well.
By all means, burn your Bible, and do whatever man tells you instead of God. The history of America is a shame, and a disgrace to God. Yet you glorify it?
As for me, and my house, we will serve, honor, and obey God.
@@revelationsandvisions7477 If that is your attitude, and you live here, you are a hypocrite.Go find a better country. If you don't live here, I don't care what you think.
Didn’t like the host. Talked over the guests quite a bit.
Listen to your own preaching…meaning be in your christian cult but quit trying to recruit more members because as you say, individuals have their own sovereignty and “ The Church” has no authority over them or society
Remember, everything you dont like or disagree with is the actual devil. This is why the church is collapsing. Also this guy's a massive hypocrite and not following the Bible because he just didn't want to. Talk about worshipping yourself.
