Echoing Bonhoeffer’s prophetic call, Eric Metaxas exhorts his fellow Christians to repent of their silence in the face of evil before it is too late. Can it really be God’s will that His children be silent at a time like this? Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as godly meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity. As Bonhoeffer and other heroes of the faith insisted, the Church has an irreplaceable role in the culture of a nation. It is our duty to fight the powers of darkness, especially on behalf of the weak and vulnerable.Silence is not an option. God calls us to defend the unborn, to confront the lies of cultural Marxism, and to battle the globalist tyranny that crushes human freedom. Confident that this is His fight, the Church must overcome fear and enter the fray, armed with the spiritual weapons of prayer, self-sacrifice, and love.The Becket Cook Show Ep. 99This Episode of The Becket Cook Show is available on YouTubeJoin the Patreon!

Support The Becket Cook Show on Patreon!In today’s episode, Becket talks with Dr. Denny Burk, president of The Council for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, about the recent Revoice conference held in Dallas, Texas. Revoice is the organization of Christians who maintain a belief in Biblical orthodoxy related to sexuality, but still identify themselves as “gay,” or “queer,” etc. We get into some of the shocking things that were said and done during this conference (e.g. Organizers handed out name tags and instructed attendees to select a sticker with their preferred pronouns to wear and tote bags/tees with slogans such as “Queer Today, Queer Tomorrow.” Speakers frequently referred to “sexual and gender minorities” along with terms such as women “assigned female at birth.” One presenter was introduced using “they/them” pronouns and wore a black T-shirt w/ the inscription, “Imago Dei” in transgender flag colors. This is an important episode for the church.The Becket Cook Show Ep. 98This Episode of The Becket Cook Show is available on YouTubeJoin the Patreon!

Support The Becket Cook Show on Patreon!In today’s episode, Becket chats with M.D. Perkins about his new book, “Dangerous Affirmation: The Threat of ‘Gay Christianity’” Since 1968, the LGBT movement has made significant inroads into the Christian church. The affirming church movement has become mainstream through the erosion of mainline denominations. Queer theology has taken hold in many academic settings. The emergence of “gay celibate theology” is causing confusion in evangelical churches through its appeal to modern psychology and LGBT-lived experience. How did we get here? What does the Bible say about all of this?“Dangerous Affirmation” is an insightful analysis of the influence and spread of “gay Christianity.” Author M.D. Perkins exposes the way this movement handles theology, biblical interpretation, the church, personal and group identity, and political activism. While many Christians are being won over by this immoral cause, this book serves as a sober-minded call to faithfulness in the midst of cultural and religious chaos.Buy the book "Dangerous Affirmation" at: www.dangerousaffirmation.net Use promo code "BECKET" for FREE SHIPPINGThe Becket Cook Show Ep. 95This Episode of The Becket Cook Show is available on YouTubeJoin the Patreon!

Support The Becket Cook Show on Patreon!In today’s episode, Becket goes back to the 70s and looks at the popular sitcom, “One Day at a Time.” He examines a scene from an episode called, “Pressure,” where Barbara, who is now 18 years old, is considering sleeping with her boyfriend. She tries, in vain, to get sound advice from her mother and sister. No one has a good answer because they are operating within a secular humanistic worldview. They can only look within. Of course, this was an early iteration of what’s plaguing our culture today: look within, follow your heart, you be you, etc. It’s amazing how we have been indoctrinated in this stiff since the 70s…and before.The Becket Cook Show Ep. 90This Episode of The Becket Cook Show is available on YouTubeJoin the Patreon!
