Today's testimony is from Alice Cooper. Yes, that Alice Cooper. The heavy metal pioneer of "shock rock", a macabre and theatrical brand of rock designed to shock audiences.
He was born Vincent Damon Furnier in 1948. His father was an evangelist in The Church of Jesus Christ, and his paternal grandfather was a leader and later president (1963–1965) of that church organization. During an interview on BBC Radio 2 in September 2007, Cooper said that he was not a Christian when he gave up drinking, but stated that he thanks God for "taking it away", saying, "I mean if He [God] can part the Red Sea and create the universe, He can certainly take alcoholism away from somebody." Although he originally did not speak publicly about his religious beliefs, Cooper was later vocal about his faith as a born-again Christian.
In 2025 he sat down with Pastor Greg Laurie on TBN's Praise to share his powerful testimony about searching for purpose at the height of fame and finding God's grace at his lowest point. Once dubbed “the villain of rock and roll,” Alice shares the untold story behind the persona—revealing how decades of stardom brought him face-to-face with despair, addiction, and spiritual emptiness. Together, Pastor Greg and Alice dig deep into life’s biggest questions: What does it mean to reach the top and feel nothing? Why do so many icons lose themselves chasing fame, wealth, or escape? What happens when you finally answer the one knock that matters? If you’ve ever wondered how someone can turn the darkest chapters of life into hope for others, Alice and Pastor Greg’s conversation will serve as the testimony we all need to never give up on others, or ourselves.
