John Cooper, the frontman for the Grammy-nominated Christian rock band SKILLET, spoke to Brutal Planet Magazine about the lyrical inspiration for the group’s upcoming album, “Dominion”.

But we do have the power to control what happens in our hearts and in ou...

And I remember thinking, ‘Okay, well, I’ll just sing until I can find somebody.’ And I had many jobs as a teen too — I worked in dozens of restaurants or stainless st...
