The Becket Cook Show
The Becket Cook Show was created by Becket Cook to discuss relevant topics and to crush the lies of culture with truth. Becket Cook was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. After graduating from college, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of writing and acting, finding success in both. He eventually became a production designer working on fashion shoots for brands such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Gap, L'Oréal Paris, and Nike. Becket lived as a gay man until 2009, when he reluctantly agreed to attend a church service at which he was transformed by the gospel and gave his life to Christ. He also knew that homosexuality was a sin and that he could no longer live that life. Becket spends much of his time in ministry speaking at churches, universities, and conferences helping people understand this issue biblically, theologically, culturally, and personally. Becket graduated from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University in 2017 with a Master of Arts in Theology.

Is God a War Criminal?
Support The Becket Cook Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thebecketcookshow In today's episode, Becket looks at a New York Times article called "In this Time of War, I Propose We Give Up God" and exposes the ignorance of the writer. Every Christmas and Easter, the New York Times and other media try to undermine the veracity of The Gospel, The Resurrection, God and the Christian Faith. Becket points out the flaws in the article and reveals the biblical truth. Sowing doubt is a favorite past-time of the media, but as Christians we can have confidence in The Gospel and the person and work of Jesus Christ.The Becket Cook Show Ep. 71WATCH THIS EPISODE OF THE BECKET COOK SHOW ON YouTube: https://youtu.be/73TbvnKVeMcWANT TO DONATE TO BECKET'S MINISTRY?PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/becketcookVenmo: @Becket-CookWANT MORE?Buy Becket Cook's book about his dramatic conversion from gay atheist to born-again Christian: "A Change of Affection: A Gay Man's Incredible Story of Redemption" HERE: https://amzn.to/3pzVqtjSTAY CONNECTED:Twitter: https://twitter.com/becketcook/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/becketcook/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/becket.cook/www.becketcook.com Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/thebecketcookshow Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

How Did We Get Here? Carl R. Trueman Interview
Support The Becket Cook Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thebecketcookshowIn today's episode, Becket chats with Carl Trueman about his book "The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self," which explores how we got to this strange place in culture, going all the way back to 18th century philosopher, Jean-Jacques Rousseau to the Romantic poets, Nietzsche, Darwin, Freud, and more. We discover through these key historical figures how our modern world was shaped and the dramatic effects their ideas have had on our culture today including the previously incoherent phrase, "I am a woman trapped in a man's body," and how this phrase came to be known as coherent and meaningful in our world. You will be surprised how far-reaching these ideas are and how they are in the social imaginary whether we realize it or not. This episode will help you understand how we got to the chaos and confusion of our culture in the 21st century. Carl R.

Are We Misinterpreting the Bible? Alan Shlemon Interview
Support The Becket Cook Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thebecketcookshowIn today's episode, Becket chats with Alan Shlemon from Stand to Reason about Hermeneutics - the discipline of interpreting the Bible. We learn how context and history play an important role in our understanding, and how modern Christians tend to overlook literary themes when reading scripture. It is important for us in the modern church to respect the history, culture and true meanings behind the biblical text. Applying this discipline is crucial to understanding the Bible correctly, and will help you avoid falling into the common mistakes among Bible readers. Our culture would have us interpret the Bible in whatever way feels best to us, but we need to study the Word of God and its original intended meaning rather than bend it to our own cultural whims. We also discuss commonly misunderstood passages in the Bible. Some of these may shock you.

They address many issues facing modern Christians like deconstruction, socialism, cancel culture, marxism and prominent Christians leaving the faith. The culture is diametrically opposed to Christianity's message and more often than not seeks to undermine and misinterpret the teachings of Jesus.
