“There is chaos happening for a reason and we need to be bold about what those reasons are,” Cooper said. “If you just ground your life in the truth of Christ, you can escape all of this chaos.”
He said there’s a disturbing trend in which too many people have come to believe that “nothing in the world is absolutely 100 percent true,” saying things like, “your truth” and “my truth.”

“Relativism is something that Christians cannot believe,” he said, going on to note that there are many inside churches who don’t quite realize this reality. “We are in war where the church is losing so much ground within the church … the church is not looking like Christianity anymore.”
Cooper knows that there’s a risk to extending outside of music to address the issues of the day — but he believes the stakes are too high to back down.
“What we are losing is so great,” he said. “If it costs me fans, we have to start trying to save as many as we can. It’s that kind of a time.”
