Alice Cooper: How the Godfather of Shock Rock Met the King of Kings

About this sermon

What happens when rock’s most infamous showman finds redemption—and discovers his true purpose? On this week’s episode of The Greg Laurie Show, Pastor Greg sits down with legendary rockstar Alice Cooper for an honest, electrifying conversation about faith, fame, addiction, and the power of second chances. 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.
