    John, my son and I drove all the way from Arlington, TX to Bald Knob for the show Friday night. It was his first concert ever. He was the gangly teenager on your left in the front row that danced all night long. He/We LOVED it. Thanks for a great time. He proudly wore his Victorious shirt to church yesterday. We love y’all! Blessings to your whole team that helped make that happen. It really is one of my new favorite dad memories.

      I was there at the show in Bald Knob too. God bless you for being a great dad! I was there with my wife, 9-year-old, and 11-year-old sons. We had a blast. What a great show. And I love supporting a band like Skillet and a solid Christian dude like John!

      It’s still hard to believe that out of all the Christian artists, John Cooper of Skillet would turn out to be the most informed and willing to speak out. Skillet is one of the few major bands that write and perform quite a few songs that he himself says have no religious themes or symbolism, they’re just fun (and still clean)

    I sadly believe the church is going to see even more divisions arise as we get closer to the end. It'd be great if the church could come together, but in terms of prophecy, more and more in the "church" will forsake the Truth for false doctrines

    • @maricls26

    Mr John Cooper, I fear people in MA (and surrounding states) are being held back from moving on. Our Governor and others seem to think fit to continue with the absurd mask mandates - I readily admit to not obeying for a long time, due to not living what is tantamount to science denial and flat out lies. Even so, it's very stressful.

    I'm from Canada and in British Columbia. We have not been "allowed" to have in-person meetings since November. That recently changed last Sunday - now we are allowed to have 50 people but absolutely no singing. Turns out the provincial government got a "faith" leaders council together and conveniently only asked the WOKE KOOKY denominations to be a part of developing the new "rules" for churches to follow until September. I am singing as loud as I can.

    Living in the rural Midwest, we’ve already gone back to normal. We’ve been back to normal for a long time. You don’t need a mask or vaccination to go to the store, our schools are fully open with no masks or COVID restrictions, our churches are finally recovering attendance again also with no COVID restrictions. We’re not dropping like flies to COVID. However, you drive 30 minutes up the border to a little college town that’s more left leaning, and you are expected to wear masks all of a sudden. Now, whenever I go beyond my county I always forget I’m supposed to have a mask to go anywhere. Bottom line: it goes back to normal when people WANT it to go back to normal. No sooner!

    • @maricls26
      @maricls26 3 года назад

      Absolutely! People have refused masks the whole time, some have become sickened by the hypocrisy, and entire states have opened up because of wise leadership. They're loosing control....which is why I believe Biden said this new thing.

Blood moon and Pentecost coming up this weekend! Also....love when you talk about y'all's kids. They are my kids ages. Legos here too. Hope they are ready to stand tall.

    Close to a year since I seen any of your shows...I just caught the show you did with Allie, recorded apparently in January, via her Rumble channel. Rumble is where MILLIONS of Conservative and Christian "viewers" have gone to now. Many who have channels on both BlueTube and Rumble, have doubled their subscription and viewer counts on Rumble as opposed to their BlueTube channels. But you have to equally let people know you're there.
    So I'd like to recommend you mirror your channel there...and you can live stream on Rumble. Conservatives aren't the only ones under heavy attack by this Oligarch. Many Christian organizations, ministries, Biblical Creation science institutions, etc. etc., now have growing Rumble channels. It not just about free speech...it's about Truth.
