John Cooper interview: Skillet Winter Jam 2018, connecting to fans ‘God loves people so much’
The largest Christian music concert rolled across the Midwest and Skillet’s Frontman, John Cooper, spoke about the 2018 Winter Jam event as thousands pack the arenas.
“I love doing Winter Jam for lots of reason,” Cooper said on The Brandon Jones Show. “Huge crowds…most (bands) don’t get a chance to play for this amount of people. I love what it stands for…I love the people…love being out here…”
