Cooper Stuff Podcast

I often hear phrases such as "God is bigger than the Bible." Today I'm going to explain why I think we should not say this. There is a sense in which it is true, but typically it is used to subtly lower the authority of the Bible. I hope to convince you today! ► Buy John's book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Do you feel like living the faith has become needlessly complicated? Are you confused; deconstructing; or just looking for answers? Today's episode is meant to encourage you to live the true gospel, which is a gospel of grace and not works. Time to get back to the basics. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Today we talk about something we've never dabbled into: Bethel controversy. Podcaster Mike Winger released a 6 hour expose on Bethel's knowledge about one of their most platformed "prophets," Shawn Bolz, who allegedly data-mined personal information about people and used it to fraudulently prophesy to them. These and other accusations has caused a firestorm in the evangelical world, especially in its charismatic corners. Today, we briefly respond to the controversy. A church that is truly prophetic would stand up for righteousness and for victims of church abuse. ► Mike Winger's Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH05S53QlY0 ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

What is going on in Nigeria? Both comedian and talk show host, Bill Maher, and President Trump announced that tens of thousands of Christians have been killed in Nigeria. Is this a true? Many of us have heard rumors about this for several years. Today, the man who was recently used to bring the truth to light and flip the public perception on the veracity of these claims joins Cooper Stuff to explain what has transpired, in what may be the most interesting and shocking conversation in the show's history. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Everyone is talking about Jesus these days. Is this revival? Is this cultural Christianity? Today we discuss these implications on our society, and we touch on the concept of repressive tolerance. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

There are some good signs in America that indicate the beginning of revival. People are going to church in huge numbers, Bible sales are increasing physically and in digital sales, many people claim to have just come to the faith since the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Why is this happening? Today we delve into the battle happening within American evangelicalism. In doing so, we describe what some refer to as Thirdwayism; and finally, why I believe revival is happening. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

One week after Charlie Kirk's assassination, the country is still roiling and processing. When it comes to the notion of a unified country, one thing that must be discussed is various views on liberty and speech. Today we outline three different concepts on speech: enlightenment, liberalism, progressivism, and a Christian philosophy of speech. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

On September 10th, 2025, Charlie Kirk, founder of TPUSA, was shot and killed. While being at a loss for words, we try to express our grief and shock, along with how to process moving forward. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Allegations have come against Michael Tait, former singer of dc Talk and The Newsboys. Subsequently, Michael Tait released a public confession, admitting to "the substance" of the accusations. This was followed by many more allegations of an extremely serious nature. Today we discuss how to move forward. This is a very weighty moment. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Melissa Dougherty joins the show to speak about her book, "Happy Lies." It is such a fascinating discussion that we had to make this 2 episodes! If you've wondered why the self-love, positivity, and wellness movements sound vaguely Christian, this episode will help explain it. It will also explain the differences between these ideas and Christianity. The most surprising aspect of this is finding out the source of these ideas, which is a movement called New Thought. ► Connect with Melissa https://www.melissadougherty.co/ https://www.youtube.com/@MelissaDougherty ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Today we have Krista Bontrager and Monique Duson from The Center for Biblical Unity join the show to talk about their book, Walking in Unity. Cooper Stuff had the privilege of reading the book and giving it an endorsement last year.

On the week of Easter, Christianity Today published an article titled, "Was Jesus Crucified with Nails?" The article implicitly calls into question the inerrancy of Scripture, which Cooper Stuff considers unacceptable.

It's time for a regime change in American evangelicalism—a rise of the normies. Today we look at two responses to the re-election of Donald Trump to illustrate why our current establishment leaders aren't good "war-time" leaders because they don't understand what most Christians in this country do: (1) that it is imperative that we stand against the tide of evil in our nation before it's too late. (2) how we should do that and the difference between right and wrong is actually quite clear, even though Big Eva doesn't see it. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

The opening ceremony of the Olympics created massive controversy for multiple reasons. As drag queens paraded around with children present there appeared to be a parody of da Vinci's painting of the Lord's supper. Many, including Cooper Stuff were offended by this and spoke out. Meanwhile, we have unprecedented things happening in the political realm as President Biden drops out of the race and within 48 hours, vice president Kamala Harris was anointed as the seemingly uncontested candidate for the Democratic Party, despite the fact that she's never received a single vote for this. While these two stories are widely divergent from one another, there is one similarity: global elites are behind them both—trying to recreate the world in their image. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Today's episode is a little raw and unfiltered. There was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump this past weekend. In a miraculous turn of events he survived and was shot in the ear. We are in a truly frightening moment in American history.

The debate heard round the world between Biden and Trump has set off a media firestorm. Suddenly, the mainstream media and most of the pundits on the left are calling for Biden to step down. Certainly this is unprecedented in our lifetimes and there is a lot to unpack. But in the opinion of Cooper Stuff, the main takeaway is the complicity of the corrupt media establishment who has been in on the sham. They do not like us, our religion, our worldview, our heritage, or the founding principles of our country. They are trying to control us, and it is the duty of citizens to disallow it. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

This week on Sword and Shield we discuss Paul's exhortation not to be deluded by enticing or plausible arguments in Colossians 2:4. This is relevant to our current moment of deconstruction and the need for clear, biblical teaching. Paul wrestled and was "in conflict" over his concern for people being deceived by lies. We should have the same love and care for others. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

The Chief's kicker, Harrison Butker sparked a major controversy when he gave the commencement speech at Benedictine college, where he promoted traditional family values and a biblical worldview. The meltdown and vitriol towards Butker in the media and from celebrities such as Pearl Jam's Singer, Eddie Vedder has been frankly surprising.

Last week the Biden administration memorialized "transgender visibility day" on the same day as Easter. The public mockery of Christianity is bad enough, but even worse is the silence of Christian leaders. But the worst is that some of those Christian leaders have reprimanded and even rebuked Christians for being upset or calling out President Biden. Today, we discuss two principles: rulers are obligated to obey God; and Church leaders need to wake up. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Alisa Childers joins the show to discuss her new book, "The Deconstruction of Christianity." This episode is packed full of extremely important material. We discuss the differing definitions of the term "deconstruction," and why Alisa believes that Christians should use the word "reformation" instead. These can be two very different concepts. Today's episode is so relevant and anyone who has been confused about deconstruction will undoubtedly benefit greatly by watching. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke https://a.co/d/j2JNRCV ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Pro-lifers may face more than ten years in prison for protesting abortion, while other violent protesters aren't even arrested, or are set free without bail. Why is this? Today we talk about the arbitrary rule/law of totalitarian regimes versus the static moral law of God. We also talk about "Christian nationalism" and the incredible insidious statements made by the Christian Left including William Barber, Russell Moore, and Preston Sprinkle. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

On this episode, we play several videos that will undoubtedly surprise many people. Last week we discussed whether or not churches/pastors should get political, and whether or not that's even a possibility. This week, a myriad of examples popped up that support my thesis: The Christian Left who accuse Christian conservatives of being politically motivated reveal themselves to be hyper political in shocking and unbiblical ways. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Should pastors stay away from politics? I understand the notion, but is that possible? What if there's so much progressive propaganda that lies seem like the truth, and then pastors teach morality based on faulty information? Today we read some headlines from the last ten days where the truth has been revealed, and the moral implications are stunning. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Rapper Lil Nas X releases his blasphemous video for the song "J Christ." Christian rappers speak out against it and call him to repentance. This leads to a discussion of what it means to live in moral relativism; to not be able to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil. Most importantly, we discuss Isaiah 5. ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Rapper Lil Nas X says he may try Christian music phase. Two famous Christians reply publicly with very different responses. These two responses are extremely telling about what we can expect in the church and in the culture this coming year. The split in the American church is reaching a breaking point. We all need to be prepared so that we can pray and ask God to give us wisdom and teach us how to be a light in a dark world. ► Use code: WWW23 for free shipping on all Cooper Stuff merch https://stores.kotisdesign.com/cooper-stuff ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

One question that I get asked often is "Why are you so political?" In fact, I think that confusion over politics is one of the greatest challenges to the church today and is causing massive division. This episode is the simplest explanation possible for why we cannot escape politics. Secondly, I discuss how secular social justice has twisted true justice, turning it on its head. Many Christians have fallen for this and have fought for secular social justice. And even though the results of their policies have caused much pain for the very communities that they aimed to help, these Christians never apologize; they never repent; and they never change course. ► Get your free trial with Covenant Eyes by using the promo code: Cooper https://www.covenanteyes.com/ ► Use code: WWW23 for free shipping on all Cooper Stuff merch https://stores.kotisdesign.com/cooper-stuff ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Democratic strategist James Carville appeared on the Bill Maher show and claimed that Christians—and/or Christian nationalists—are the biggest threat to America…."worse than Al Queda." He made many other claims that are a brilliant way to illustrate (1) That Christianity is truly under threat in America. (2) Christian nationalism is used to mean "traditional Christian." (3) The left and the right mean very different things by the word "democracy."

Today we have Cooper Stuff replay about the definition of Wimpy, Weak, and Woke. The increasing conflicts in America today are often referred to as "culture war." But what is truly happening is a war between gods – the living God and the god of Man. Wimpy, Weak, and Woke uncovers the philosophies behind utopian dreams that become dystopian nightmares, and presents a positive vision for how we can thrive and flourish. The false promises of Man lead to destruction; God's ways lead to life. ► Use code: WWW23 for free shipping on all Cooper Stuff merch https://stores.kotisdesign.com/cooper-stuff ► Buy John's new book, Wimpy, Weak, And Woke http://www.johnlcooper.com/wimpyweakwoke ► Subscribe to the podcast: www.johnlcooper.com Apple: http://bit.ly/cooperstuff Spotify: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffspotify CastBox: http://bit.ly/cooperstuffcast ► Connect with John L.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you had a wonderful time with your family. Today we (1) announce our Black Friday sale. And (2) I share personal thoughts and concerns about the surprising backlash I've received about my book. To be honest, the backlash isn't even about my book, but the book title!

Today we have comedian JP Sears join Cooper Stuff! You know him by his hysterical YouTube videos, which have millions of views.

Only 1 day until my new book, "Wimpy, Weak, and Woke" releases! As the events of the last week unfold, things are bizarre and seemingly inexplicable. But there is a simple answer to the madness! Today, we discuss why these evil and seemingly diverse events are tied together by the matrix of oppression. The world's philosophies have infiltrated the church and because we weee ill-equipped to argue against them, it has left many confused and shipwrecked people.
