Skillet’s John and Korey Cooper Don’t Back Down From Defending Christianity
04/05/22 • 51 min
I like to call John and Korey Cooper the “rock star it couple.” They’ve been married 25 years, they’re members of the Christian band Skillet and they’re relentless defenders of truth.
John and Korey have been setting an example of how to have a Christ-centered marriage, raise Godly kids and be a light for Jesus in a dark world for years. I’ve seen firsthand John and Korey praying for and ministering to people at some of my dad’s outreaches.
The Coopers are fun to talk to but also serious about the issues facing the Church and our families today. I hope you’ll laugh along with us and be challenged by what they had to say on this episode.

Spiritual Deconstruction and Progressive Christianity: A Talk With Alisa Childers
Progressive Christianity is a movement of Christians who are reexamining, redefining and often rejecting the core claims of the historic Christian Gospel but retaining the title “Christian.” My guest on this episode has personal experience of how dangerous Progressive Christianity can be.
Alisa Childers was a member of the Christian band ZOEgirl and she’s written a book called “Another Gospel?” She started researching the truth of historic Christianity after the pastor of the church she was attending began leading members into Progressive Christianity.
I want you to be able to recognize red flags that go up if Progressive Christianity is starting to get a foothold in your church or in a friend’s faith walk. Alisa identified some of those red flags and talked about how you can respond when she spoke during morning devotions at Samaritan’s Purse earlier this month.

Should You Watch the News With Your Children?
My neighbor stopped over recently with her young son while we had the TV news on and it was reporting about the situation in Ukraine. She asked me if I let my kids watch the news. I told her I do.
I realized with the sensitive topics which headline the news each evening, this could be a question many families struggle with. On this episode I’m going to tell you why—and how—Corey and I watch the news with our kids.
