The Alisa Childers Podcast · #91 Skillet's John Cooper is still asking: What in God's name is happening to Christianity?

Just before Christmas, I got to talk with John Cooper of the band Skillet about his recent viral posts about what is happening within the church and the chaos in society. We also talk about his new book, Awake and Alive to Truth, which is a clarion call to Christians to live by biblical truth, rather than cultural norms.

Hi Alisa,

I'm a youth pastor in Atlanta, GA. I stumbled upon "AG: Christ Crucified" recently and enjoyed hearing your testimony. I ended up inviting some of our students over to my house to watch (it was my second time). I've been in ministry for 13 years and have seen a dramatic decline in Biblical literacy and true doctrine. As a pastor, I feel so overwhelmed for my students; I'm burdened for my students. There is deconstruction pervasive in the church. Here's my opinion that has happened in the church: the trauma of 2020 hasn’t created anything NEW in people. Instead, it has unearthed the hidden places of people’s hearts. We’re not seeing a tremendous change in peoples’ beliefs or convictions, we’re seeing a change in peoples’ behaviors. The areas of our lives that we used to be able to keep a secret has been exposed.

God is raising up shepherds who have a great burden for His people and His Church. As men and women who shepherd people, let's pray God grants us the gift of a greater burden for the souls of people and (mostly) a burden for the glory of God.

We have a podcast titled, "Extended Access." I'd be HONORED if you briefly checked it out.

I pray God continues to bless you and your incredible ministry.

I listened to the podcast and found it difficult to discern what you believe, and I've never heard the term deconstructionalist. And I grew concerned with some hints you gave of what you believe. Before I make a judgment, where can I go to learn details?

Hi! First of all, thank you so much for giving it a quick listen. Do you have any particular questions? I believe in the full authority of the Bible as God's ultimate revelation of Himself. There is no other ultimate truth besides His truth. If you have a particular question, I'd love to take a stab at answering (or at least give my understanding).

Kindly, Wesley
