Becket Cook, author of "Change of Affection: A Gay Man’s Incredible Story of Redemption," shares his powerful testimony of transformation. Raised in a Catholic home with rigid traditions and charismatic expressions, Becket eventually moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in Hollywood, seeking success, love, and extraordinary experiences. However, an encounter at a coffee shop and an invitation to church led to a profound spiritual awakening.
Join us as Becket recounts his road to Damascus moment, the overwhelming presence of God, and the radical shift in his affections. From a life of parties and fashion shows to discovering the meaning of life, Becket’s story is one of grace, redemption, and unwavering faith.

I remember when Beckett said he can still struggles with same sex attraction but he leans on the Lord for strength and to keep him on course. We all need to pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17

@ji8044 16 дней назад

But the Lord made him with same sex attraction. Unless I missed something, he has never claimed to have been converted in any way by anyone. He was born that way.

@gillianwright356 14 дней назад

As Becket himself said, since the Fall we are all born with sinful impulses, and as Christians we have to fight them. Maybe we're not same-sex attracted, but we have bitterness and hatred in our lives or we long for power. Only the Holy Spirit can help us find true love and purity.

@ji8044 11 дней назад

@@gillianwright356 Are we born with bitterness and hatred though, or are they result of our life experiences? That is the difference. Could you for instance NOT be straight if you wanted to? Was being straight the result of your life experiences? You and I would say we were born straight, and Cook would say he was not born straight. Babies/small children are NOT born with sinful impulses. They have not yet learned to live within the coded behavior of a particular society or family and so do things which upset us or violate norms.

@@ji8044 Beckett did not tell his whole story on this podcast, but a father of a friend of his molested him as a child. This could have been the impetus for his same sex attraction. It happened at a young and impressionable age. We cannot know if he would have had this issue had that not have happened to him.

Great interview. I've been following Becket's video podcast I guess about 2 years now. The title of his book "Change of Affection", is a revelationery call that Christ is the groom and we are the bride.

I suggest an expansion from the gay life/culture to the larger issue of sex. In 1990, years with HIV, my kids came home from school to tell me Planned Parenthood had been teaching in their room - condoms equaled safe sex. While HIV was a focus for condoms back then, it tied to "all things sexual." I became active in these issues, in opposition to the goals of Planned Parenthood. One women leading in this fight linked all sexual issues into an overarching unified message: sex is unitive for the purpose of binding husband/wife and creating life in the womb. All sex outside of God's purpose will be destructive: contraception, abortion, homosexuality, group sex, divorce. As one sexual sin gains traction, it morphs into acceptance of any and all use of sex for personal fun/pleasure. Babies are now unwanted and marriage is unnecessary. It's not a surprise to me that people "get to choose their gender" and that men who declare themselves women can compete as women in sports. Becket, I truly enjoy your shows! You have a natural talent for talking with people, helping them share their stories. Thank you!

Gender neutral is a massive term surely? Raising children not teaching them they're a boy or a girl is one thing, and maybe that's the new thing that Becket is reacting against. But when I was a child gender neutral meant not saying that girls couldn't do x or y because they're a girl, or boys had to like army play etc. The stereotyping. I thought we were past that... But it seems to have made a massive comeback with children who don't fit these gender stereotypes now being told they're trans!

@bmjjjja 12 часов назад

The Bible says "have nothing to do with [sin] darkness, rather expose it." It says "do not welcome them into your home" who do not preach/live the truth of Christ. It says "a little yeast leavens the whole batch, get rid of the yeast." "Do not even eat with them." It says "purge the evil from among you." It says do not sit, stand or walk with sinners. My question is why don't true Christians obey these verses even when the sinner is their own son/daughter?

@gracie57 4 часа назад

You obviously dont have a child who has same sex attraction. Becketts mother never rejected him, but prayed for him continuously. And Jesus answered her prayers….. think about that….

He has stated if God wants him to have a wife he will welcome it, but he and his friend Rosario Butterfield have said he is "chaste".

@ji8044 19 дней назад

For reasons I won't go into here, I've known a lot of priests and nuns in an "off-duty" capacity shall we say. In candid moments one thing they virtually all admitted was how lonely the life of the celibate religious can be when everyone leaves the event or service with family, but they go back to their rooms alone. When I hear him say he's never lonely, I know he's trying to fool us or himself.

@ji8044 20 дней назад

I watched it twice all the way through and it made me sad. In high school, many decades ago, I was a typical dumbass who called people the F word and accused them of, you know, on a routine basis. But it wasn't until later when I moved to DC that I met actual gay people for the first time. How come they seemed just like me, concerned with paying the mortgage, getting to work on time, and looking for lasting relationships? It finally dawned on me that there was nothing threatening to my hetero world about their non-hetero relationships. If you as a Christian have an issue with gay marriage then don't go to the wedding. This too will pass though, because within my lifetime Catholics couldn't marry Protestants and black couldn't marry white. If you think Jesus doesn't approve of gay marriage, let him decide when everyone meets him eventually.

@@ji8044 sure! Try out his explanation for, “Why Christians should not attend gay weddings…” it’s a summary clip. There’s a lot of content, but as you get to know Beckett and his journey, he definitely gives a lot to think about and reconsider. The claim that sexual orientation is not an identity is pretty ground shaking for a lot of people and it’s nice to hear from someone who has walked the walk and is willing to share his lived experiences.
