John Cooper on Faith, Music, and Authenticity | Rock Music News

John Cooper of Skillet spills the tea on how he turns faith into a front-row seat—no hiding, no apologies. He’s got a “Jesus freak” badge pinned to his chest and uses it like a shield, confronting skepticism head-on to protect his authenticity. Early interviews? He’d rather be honest than misinterpreted. And guess what? Fans don’t care about the Jesus stuff—they just want the music. Some even credit Skillet with guiding them to faith or healing their pain. Now, they’re dropping a heavy, personal six-song EP called “After The Storm,” written from a place of raw vulnerability, inspired by betrayal, grief, and hope. And yes, they’re crushing it: over 12 million monthly Spotify listeners, “Monster” hitting 5 billion streams, and their European tour breaking records.
