John Cooper of Skillet: "We Were the Last Band That Was Ever Supposed to Get Popular" | Unfolding Short Stories

from The Unfolding

John Cooper, frontman for the band Skillet, never set out chasing fame. What mattered most was his foundation in Jesus, established long before the tours, radio hits, or millions of listeners. As John's career with Skillet began to really take off, his honesty and consistency caught the attention of another musician who was quietly watching. Years later, that same man would give his life to Christ.
