084 John Cooper

In 1997, I was promoting concerts in Portland, Oregon, and was approached by a booking agent to do a show with this new band called Skillet. I distinctly remember that the CD had a white cover with a picture of a cast-iron skillet. And the music was much harder than anything I had promoted up to that point. Well, I promoted that show at a nearby college. Flash forward 25 years, that little unknown band did alright. And today, Skillet has become one of the biggest bands on the planet. Even more impressive to me than their musical prowess and ability to rock is their unwavering message of hope and sharing the Gospel. Today I'm honored to welcome Skillet's lead singer and fellow brother of the beard, John Cooper, to the podcast.
