Today on The Isabel Brown Show, we’re diving into one of the strangest “Christian controversies” of 2025: people claiming Skillet’s new cover of O Come O Come Emmanuel is SATANIC.

I watched the music video for the first time on camera — spoiler alert: it’s beautiful, powerful, and absolutely NOT demonic.

Skillet frontman John Cooper joins me today to unpack the backlash, the meaning behind the song, and the incredible story of what happened in the studio the moment they recorded the heaviest section. John also shares the band’s Advent inspiration, how their music has brought countless people to Christ, and why Christians must stop confusing artistic intensity with evil.

We talk about the spiritual battle playing out in America, the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and why the Church must rediscover courage and clarity. John offers practical advice for Christian parents, young believers, and anyone trying to walk in truth in a hostile world.

Above all, Skillet’s heart for Jesus shines through, and this controversy reveals more about our lack of discernment than anything about their music. If you need hope, encouragement, and a reminder of what Christian boldness looks like — this is the episode for you.
