For over 35 yrs I identified as gay, until 2104 when I had a profound spiritual encounter and then left that lifestyle completely. In 2017, I experienced a deliverance and no longer experience those same-sex desires. Actually, I have no sexual desire at all, which some may label as "asexual". What i find ironic is that asexuality falls under the umbrella of "LGBTQIA". At any rate, I feel the Lord has removed the former identity in order to show me the power of His grace, and since then it has been difficult for me to share my testimony, because practically no one believes my experience was authentic (except for my Christian friends). Many assume I went through some sort of reparative therapy, when actually I experienced deliverance while I was attending a gay-affirming church, just from reading the Bible, and going through a 12-step SCA program which revealed the traumas in my life that needed healing. I have been celibate since 2017 and living proof that Jesus uses very unorthodox ways to reach sinners when He wants.
So what? I've been celibate by choice for going on 7 years. I didn't need a sky fairy or book of myths to accomplish that. And yes, Ace is part of the LGBTQIA spectrum. Try separating your past trauma from your innate identity and you'll be a hell of a lot happier, celibate or otherwise.
@@k.j.greenwood6473 Who said I wasn't happy? Stop projecting and making assumptions. I was quite clear about my deliverance. No need to be rude just because it triggers you and makes YOU uncomfortable.
@@mrmcgowan people in denial and preaching ignorance from that space are dangerous. Yeah, maybe that is triggering, as well it should be. "If I can be made un-gay, so can you" is the underlying message of your "testimony" and therein lies the problem. "Leaving the lifestyle" doesn't change your innate nature. You took it with you. Just because you have no sex drive doesn't mean you're no longer gay. It means you're celibate. If you're happy, 👍 no problem, man. But once you figure out that there isn't some past trauma that caused your innate sexuality, it'll be easier to deal with.
@@k.j.greenwood6473 There is nothing to "deal with". That is your presumption and where you are wrong. I've already dealt with the trauma, which did in fact, lead to homosexuality (prior to that I had heterosexual interests). But as the scriptures say, I am a new creation in Christ. There is no more sexual desire for other men, so should I claim an identity I no longer experience? I had a deliverance experience that shifted my desires and interests. Just because you cannot comprehend it does not mean it cannot happen. You have not lived my life nor do you get to define my life; only Christ can do that.
I lost a very dear childhood friend to AIDS 15 years ago. He was bright , talented and worked in Hollywood like you. I prayed for his salvation almost daily and he was saved by Jesus on his death bed. After decades of praying for my friend I had a false belief that it was nearly impossible for him to be saved, and that he likely would have never reached out to Christ had he not been near death. Your testimony has given me hope♥️ I just want you to know how encouraging your videos are. I miss him and often wonder what it would have been like to know him as a Christian. Watching you gives me a little glimpse of that♥️ I also really enjoy your videos with Chynna as you two remind me of the friendship I had with my friend . I look forward to seeing him in the clouds. Thank you so much for what you are doing Becket!
As someone struggling with homosexuality I find this channel very encouraging. My mom is trying to “pray the gay away” for me and get me married to a woman but I’m always trying to tell her that it’s not guaranteed desires will go away just because I’m saved. I should probably show her this video
Vincent this is always encouraging, it’s what God does when He makes someone a new creation in Christ “And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:11 and 2 Corinthians 5:17 and context, when like Becket is born again of the Spirit of God No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13
Your mom needs to listen to Christopher Yuan talk about Holy Sexuality. God’s goal is for all of us to become more and more holy. That does not mean that everyone needs to be a married heterosexual. I’m praying for you Vincent! ❤️
After being saved, Christians still go through sanctification. A process of letting go the old self by the power of the Holy Spirit. Christians grow in knowledge of God by spending time in his word. And with other believers. Edifying one another. Praise God!
My son’s husband told me “You can’t pray the gay away”. He doesn’t understand I want much more than that for my son. I want God to reveal himself to him through the power he has given Jesus Christ to save us from our sinful selves. I don’t care if he never gets married or has the desire to. I just want him to know the greatness and forgiveness and love that can be experienced through a life changing encounter with His Holy Spirit.. Praise God for his unending love for us all.
Calling the man who lives with your son his "husband" just feeds into the whole gay marriage thing. He is not his "husband". That's impossible from God's point of view since he ordained marriage between a man and a woman only. You should stop referring to this man as his "husband"
@@tstieber Our son is living with us right now. There’s no problem we are very close. I didn’t mean to imply that I don’t care what he does. I’m talking about once he has a relationship with the Holy Spirit he will have the guidance from Christ. I would neither encourage him to marry or not marry. I just meant I pray for his salvation over all sins, like the rest of us believers.. thank you for your comment and concern ❤️
I definitely won’t be watching the “documentary”, I dislike everything Netflix stands for and we stopped subscribing to their service over a year ago when they decided to bully Georgia about their pro-life laws. I am also beyond frustrated with “woke” DEvangelicals looking at the problems highlighted in this film, thinking that is what “the church” thinks about homosexuality and totally rewriting the Bible as they try to “apologize”. As I commented on the original Facebook post of your article, if you think about it, the majority of the harm discussed in this film was not done by "the church", but by men who misunderstood and misrepresented the teachings of Jesus to such an extent that they themselves walked away from their own erroneous teaching. You did a great job of explaining that error in this episode, thank you 🌻
The funny thing is a lot of Christians have become “progressive” and don’t necessarily believe in what the Bible says yet all Christians are still portrayed as pitchfork folks and I find that interesting
Amen 🙏🏽 amen…. Those people are truly going through trials and tribulations hat we could never understand… until it happens in America.. which it will.. God bless you Kevin.. thank you for sharing
I THINK they do, mainly I think they LOVE their SIN more which causes them to become blind. . . And ignorance plays a close second, not studying the Bible. . . Really studying, and last, Truly trusting God to do what he says He Will do! God bless you 🙏🏽
If our lives are focused on not being gay then we have already made sure that we will fail. Our lives ought to be about loving, and submission to, Christ! Jeffery McCall and I just finished up on Zoom! The interview goes up tomorrow! 😊
When you come to Jesus, you don't stop 'being gay' per se; but if you really sincerely belong to Jesus (the only one in the form of a man to ever really love you) what happens is that part of you becomes small, whereas the part that desires to go in by 'the straight and narrow gate' grows larger by contrast. St. Paul's name literally means 'small' or 'little'; the name he took after accepting Christ. We Christians still have a 'sin nature'; there's a 'small' part of me that still wants to be Ziggy Stardust and sing along with ol' Boy George records. Speaking of David Bowie: I had a close friend who worked for David back in the 80s, shortly after he publically renounced 'being gay' (he also denied any of the 'gay' rights groups the permission to use his music). He was a man of prayer, in his way. I have a story about that; I hope Becket doesn't mind.
@@romanticandperky 1000% agree! Jesus is worthy of our whole heart and whether feelings change is irrelevant when we serve a God who gave it all for us while we were still sinning! I want more and more of Him every day!
Love you brother, thank you for talking on this subject. When we struggle that's when we ask God for His strength, Bible says to resist the devil and he will flee. I am an ex bisexual. And sometimes I do struggle with these thoughts however Bible says to take every thought captive to the mind of Christ. If We confess it to the Lord and we ask Him to wash us if these then He certainly does ! And I do notice a big difference in the level of attraction I once had. I am happily married today with two beautiful sons and I still pinch myself that God had mercy on me all those years while I was in rebellion against Him and His perfect ways.
I absolutely LOVE what you're doing with your channel Becket! Your love and devotion to Jesus inspires me. I'm grateful to hear you unfold the journey for a Christian who struggles with same-sex attraction showing us that Christ is more valuable than any sexual attraction, straight or otherwise. Holy sexuality needs to be encouraged in the Body.
These comments are just so bizarre to me. I’m glad we Christians don’t need to wear turbans, stars of David, hijabs, beards, and etc, given the shocking amounts of violence and discrimination those that do face in LA & United States of America. And still we find things to complain about? I know it’s a joke, but this comment rubs me the wrong way, no one sees Christianity as foreign in LA.
It's ROUGH! Everyone here is a zombie. Los Angeles 2022 is a cross between the movie Night of the Living Dead and what an insane asylum would look like if the patients governed themselves and there was no staff.
@@Slavaisusukhrystu violence and discrimination toward Muslims here in the US? Really? Sources please, I don’t believe that’s true at all. ( Not saying it’s never happened just that it’s incredibly rare compared to the discrimination rising against Christians in the US. ) Look just since June at how many pro life a Christians at crisis pregnancy centers have been attacked. And yes, Christians are pretty rare in LA. It is probably the least Christian city in America.
Becket I just recently came across your channel and every time I hear you proclaim the gospel of Christ it just thrills my heart, thank God for your passion, keep going , God is going to use you to reap a harvest for him, remain faithful, Luv Ya bro
Thank you for speaking about this documentary. I think I'll watch it this week. What I notice about any LGBTQ film/documentary is that they always go against Christianity. Never any other religion who are also against homosexuality. Interesting.
It’s a spiritual thing. Ive read a comment from an ex atheist that said that even through they grew up atheists, their parents were atheists, and they weren’t around Christians (or didn’t know, because Christians don’t always go out there and say that they are), and that no Christian did or said anything that left a bitter taste in their mouth, they still found themselves hating Christianity and Christians. Even if they didn’t know much about Christianity or know any open Christians growing up. It’s definitely more spiritual than people think. My cousin is in lgbtq+, and they have a completely bad view of Christianity. Although they’ve never read the Bible for themselves, tried to understand it, or anything. Just assumptions. Trust me it’s spiritual. People have so much anger for Christianity in particular when there are many other beliefs that say the same thing or have more conservative leaning principles. But it’s only us that become the target 9/10 times
Other than that I can understand if someone had a bad home experience. But even with my own bad experiences, it NEVER made me super angry towards Christianity. Thank goodness because I needed saving. I was thinking that my life was so insignificant that I could take it.
Umm. Maybe it's because you live in a culture where Christianity has been the dominant religion for the past 1600 years...? Your victim mentality is showing.
Because you are only watching documentaries about your own country?? Christianity has been the justification for slavery, sexism, and throwing gay kids out on the street in the USA for forever. Otherwise, there are lots of documentaries about LGBTQ people in the context of other religions… Welcome to Chechnya comes to mind.
The reason they feel so free to attack Christianity is they know Christians will respond in love and only pray for them. If they attacked Islam's position on homosexuality they'd be beheaded by one of their fanatics.
Please be praying for Dr. Michael Heiser. He’s just been diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer; adeno carcinoma of the pancreas. Word just came out today on social media.
I heard a pastor once say, the opposite of homosexual is not heterosexual, it is Holiness. Love your show Becket. Miss seeing you with Chynna. Peace of Christ to you always. 🙏♥️
Becket, as a Christian trying to sort out the issues of homosexuality, and how to relate to those who practice it, your videos are refreshing, and spot on! Thank you and praise God for your dedication to the truth, in love.
I attended Exodus conferences throughout the 1990’s. As a Christian, it felt so freeing just to be with other Christians who experience SSA. Not once was there ever any coercion or manipulation, nor any promise of “becoming straight.” It was all about discipleship. Were the people perfect? No. But that didn’t detract from the gospel and the hope of Jesus Christ for me. Do I still experience SSA? Yes. Do I also experience the tremendous grace and peace and provision of God? Absolutely. God has been so good. They’re always calling this program “conversion therapy.” There is no such thing as conversion therapy, and neither Exodus nor any of its affiliates ever practice such a thing. It’s all about lies and deception. God is in control. Those who are His will see the light. Blessings. ~Scott
Scott..thanks for your input. I'm trying to understand the lgbtq people! It seems like many people believe this culture isn't harmful by the many tv series which convey it as cute. People are surprised when I don't think Modern Family, Frankie and...., Schitt's Creek, etc are cute and funny!
@@KM-zn3lx I had a reply for you, but evidently Google deemed it as hate speech, so it got removed after being posted - TWICE. Differences of opinion, even when they involve people with experience in that lifestyle, are being silenced.
You said it brother. Through Christ we are empowered to deny and starve sexual desires that are outside His design and harmful to us. I have encountered people who upon becoming Christ followers say they never again had the desire for drugs, sexual sin etc. But, I certainly would acknowledge that Godly counseling can be crucial for people of all walks struggling with compulsive sin.
Sir, I have only one problem, and that is where minor children are forced into so-called therapy. Many years ago a trans girl in ohio was bullied by her parents and church and committed suicide. This is unforgivable and I will never forgive lawmakers that allow this to happen. No one will convince me this was the will of God.
I love you Becket! You have the perfect balance of sharing the gospel in love and truth and you can also be light hearted and laugh/chuckle about certain things about this topic. Love that you see things so clearly and logically. Appreciate this channel!
Thank you, Becket, for being a beacon of truth - a light of hope to others. It’s all about surrender to Jesus Christ the King of kings. Thank you! Praying for you!
Great message, Becket. Being a Bible student for years, I can tell you're quite studied in scripture and trust it. I've dealt with attraction to the same sex all my life, acted out on it and never married. I considered Exodus Int'l at one time but realized Jesus didn't call homosexuals to become attracted to the opposite sex but to cease the practice of homosexuality itself. As you mentioned, his recipe for being a follower is denying ourselves and sacrificing daily which is the same recipe for every other sin we'd love to do.
Right on Beckett! I'm still tempted by female nudity even after being saved. I have to put up the shield of faith. Temptation will always be there. We still have the old nature to deal with. But if we walk in the Spirit we will not fulfill the list of the flesh (Galatians 5:16-18)😀
I’m a mailman. While I’m out walking my routes I see scantily dressed women, especially in this hot summer. I just try to not let my desire to look at them control me
@monolith94 It helps me a lot to find different perspectives on lust - The Desert Fathers’ writings, and even Muslim and Orthodox Jewish wisdom has given me a lot of insight, especially the habit of averting your gaze.
What I love most about you Beckett is that you are VERY honest. You are vulnerable and admit that you still struggle with same sex attraction. You are very sincere. You also use God's word to call out sin,exactly what it is,SIN. Keep fighting that battle of the mind...keep serving God with your mind, that is exactly where the battle is. Thank God for a sound mind! :)
Dear Beckett, I might even go one step further and implore Christians to dump Netflix altogether. My family did a couple years ago after we got sick of them CONSTANTLY pushing the whole ‘Christians are dumb, but gay people are awesome heroes’ in a such a heavy handed way. And not even just gay sex, but all raunchy sex… and they would play trailers the moment you logged on, which were inescapable… including when our young son would log on. Aside from missing the last season of The Crown, it has not been missed much in our home. Even The Crown got pretty gross during the last season I saw. We have to start asking ourselves, “why am I funding this garbage to be made?” Just my two cents, which adjusted for current inflation, is worth about a half penny.
I have struggled with eating disorders most of my adult life. I never expected to lose all of my temptations in that area. Sometimes I still want that big plate of steak fries instead of the veggies. Or maybe a whole deep dish pizza. I have leaned on my faith all my life to help me deal with this. Why should it be different with sexual sins? The people from Exodus lied to themselves and others.
Your commentaries are to say the least ENLIGHTENING, THOUGHT-PROVOKING and absolutely NECESSARY for such a time as this. Thank you for being your TRUE, authentic God-given self and helping others reach their EXODUS from that confusing and soul-draining lifestyle. I pray that our eternal, Sovereign Father will pour out sufficient grace and power in your life to continue proclaiming the loving, life altering Gospel of Christ and THE TRUTH! Be blessed my brother! 🙌
You've been such a blessing Becket! I love what you said about HOLY sexuality being the goal instead of HETEROsexuality. I've never struggled with homosexual desires but my sinful heterosexual desires aren't any better. I'm grateful for the godly people God sent my way that allowed me, right from the start of my walk with Him, to understand that God does not always grant freedom from our sinful struggles (though I've known people who have been miraculously delivered as well). Indeed, his grace is sufficient and his strength made perfect in our weaknesses. God bless you, brother!
So much good information, so enriching, so empowering, revealing and so much more! Thank you so much for taking the time and for the courage to openly talk about this so very controversial topic! God bless you so much Becket! What a blessing you are! Love you!
First I want to say I really appreciate what you are doing thank you. I had gone to 2 exodus conferences, some 20 years ago. They did help me at the time to not feel so alone. For the most part I never felt like they gave me false hope. Sy Rogers was an major blessing. He was the best speaker they ever had in my opinion. He let us know that the father loves us no mater what we struggling with. It is by grace I am saved.
I live in Portland and I'm a Christian woman. For me, it's very hard to make new friends that aren't Christians. I'm not rude about sharing my faith, I don't ever talk about my opinion against the gay community publicly...yet somehow it seems *I assume * that people just don't want to be my friend because I'm a Christian. This really sucks as I really want non Christian friends too!
I went through exodus program and it was very helpful and saved my life. It was all that was available at that time for Christians who have SSA. It brought us together for mutual support and prayer.
Thank you for saying this: Yes, receiving Jesus and the indwelling of The Holy Spirit is better than counseling and/or therapy. Yes, in the past, there were counseling and therapy programs for same-sex addiction that were often cruel and hypocritical. Yet, there are many involved with these programs who are gracious and well-meaning, and those struggling with same-sex have received sustinence from them. Overall, the 'ex-gay' movement has shown real improvement (and Becket deserves credit for it, among others), and deserves many another chance in all it's facets. Amen.
Thank you for helping us navigate through all the “new stuff”. Going to read your article. We are older & it seems like there is something new all the time. 🙏🏼
I'm a gay man, a Christian and married to a man. We have been married for 5 years and have adopted 2 children. We are members of the First Baptist Church of Palm City, go to church every week, prayer meeting and sing in the choir. We have many church friends and live a happy life. What others believe is none of my business.
I love how u broke this down. Really helped me organize my thoughts & know how to express it in love. We all have something we have to surrender daily. Doesn't really matter what each person's issue is.
Becket, you are so needed on RUclips and the logic and argumentative techniques you use to discuss pop culture is so refreshing to the trained mind. Your show is underrated. When I consider this topic and how God doesn’t miraculously take every struggle away like he does sin… it reminds me of how beautiful your story is and how if you didn’t struggle we wouldn’t receive such amazing content to help our own lives. Thanks for your daily sacrifices Becket continue to represent Christ in honesty.
I can't even begin to imagine what you've been through, Becket! But I praise God for the joy, life and freedom you have found in our glorious Lord Jesus! May your testimony continue to bring many lives to Christ❣
Becket, when you speak of the love and joy you experience having a Christ in your life. Most people have absolutely no clue how or why you feel this way. Until Jesus reveals himself completely to their heart like he did with you. And like Paul on the road to Damascus. They may never know. I told my supposedly christian boyfriend of five years I promised God I wasn't going to sleep with him anymore. He verbally attacked me and told me have fun in heaven and to get the f out of there. I was dumbfounded that he didn't respect my commitment to God. I'm sooooo happy now!!! I'm getting closer and closer to the lord every day. My love for him grows bigger and bigger. I don't want that yuk life anymore! Good riddance! Thank you for your inspiration every day! I've never met you but I know you will be my brother in heaven forever.
Becket! You are such a gift from God. 🙏🏻💖 Thank you for your kind, gracious, honest heart for God and His people. You are one of the greatest blessings of our time. Much love to you, my Christian brother! P.S. - 21:29 And now Julie Rodgers has announced on Instagram that she and her "wife" are separating, and of course, she blames her experience with Exodus and Evangelicals for her failed marriage. I keep Julie, and all those lost in this difficult lifestyle, in my prayers. He pulled me out of addiction - I put nothing past our loving God! ✝😍
Beckett-you do such an awesome job of explaining how Christ invites ALL to come unto Him, and ALL to aspire to holiness, regardless of what each individual’s struggle of the flesh is! Scripturally this is how Christ wants us to be United. Well done! Thank you!
"a-sexual is like...uh...when you're... attracted to....like, ya know...it's when.... I don't know what a-sexual means..." hahahaha. Oh, Becket... you crack me up
Becket, thank you for your channel. You are such a blessing to me and all who hear you! My uncle lived as a gay man from the 1960s-1980s. He said that the LORD "woke him up" when his boyfriend left him. He went to work one day and he thought they were "okay". He came back to their home and his boyfriend had taken EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING! This betrayal caused him to realize that he needed to depend more on the LORD and less on people. Anyway, he seemed more like a father figure to me than just my uncle. Since then, my heart is so tender to the gay community. We need to see everyone as people needing a Savior. :) GOD bless you, Becket!
Thanks again Becket! I read Jackie Hill Perry's book as well. I loved her insistence on EVERY BELIEVER being first married to Christ, that those who struggle with same sex attraction don't need to necessarily have all that gone to nevertheless submit that desire to Christ, just like I do if I'm tempted to lust after another man, being married to one. and putting all other relationships under that headship of Jesus. Amen!
Blessed are you when they insult you and falsely accuse you. Matthew 5 11-12. Of course the world hates you. God Bless you Beckett walk in the light as he is THE LIGHT ❤️🙏🏼
I am not gay; but I am so so so encouraged by you Becket. Your love for God and honesty is truly a gift to us as well as you. I would like to encourage all who read this to pray for Becket; he is on the front line; taking the fight to the enemy. Be sure of this...we have an enemy of our soul and he is strategic. Becket is doing damage to the kingdom of darkness and so he will be a target. Thank you for all you do. Praying for you.
Thanks for your show… my 20 yr daughter is living with a woman and they are planning a wedding. I read Jack Hill Perry’s book 2 yrs ago and it was the first time I realized my daughter needed holy sexuality not heterosexuality. I’m so thankful God saved you so you can minister to others with your testimony. Your ministry has greatly helped
Hi Becket, thank you so much for your work. I really appreciate your honest and godly work. Everybody, please pray for Michael S. Heiser, he is very sick at the moment. Pray for him and his loved ones.
As a Christian who happens to be black, I'm constantly shocked how many of my "race" don't put knowing Christ above race and black culture. I identify with new man birthed in heaven.
I think where some, not all, go wrong Is relaying God’s word in an angry and condemning way. Screaming, huge posters saying derogatory things, violence, and aggressive protests will never sway someone’s heart. Lead with love and guidance toward Christ and leave the wrath for God. This video is perfection. Share God’s word but do it lovingly and with respect
Thanks for the review! I have been watching for a review of this film, as I'm sure it's story telling will have an impact on many in the culture. We need to be prepared to give a reason for our inner hope! I thank for God for your redemption in Christ and pray for your continued victory and ministry brother!
Thank you for your kind and sensitive words even when you don't agree with a viewpoint. The is the beauty of actually knowing the love and the freedom that comes from Yeshua.
How am I just seeing this? I thought I'd seen all of them. I ministered a lot in this area in the 80s and many of my ministry friends and those we were working with saw a lot of fall-out from the teachings of Exodus and conversion therapy. The church got so much wrong in those days. We can humble ourselves and own that without affiriming. You're spot on with this which is why we need you, dear Brother! 🙏🏻💛 Hope we get to chat someday! Life is a holy and hilarious three-ring circus sometimes!
Your article is really good, Becket! "Eternity will show that those who choose to live according to God’s beautiful purposes for sexuality-rather than taking pride in their own self-made sexual morality, however acceptable it becomes-are the ones on the real right side of history." Love that!
I think you concede too much, Becket. Check out the commentary Anne Paulk did with Joe Dallas and Elizabeth Woning. Exodus, at least for the majority of member ministries, did not miss the forest from the trees.
Absolutely correct - PsychoBible - Andrew Rodriguez. Grateful you brought the needed correction in your video... ruclips.net/video/hdac4O06Q4c/видео.html After hearing this video, I believe Becket Cook owes many ministry leaders that were a part of Exodus an apology for his parroting the "Pray Away" fallen failed leadership messaging of the HRC/SPLC ruse terminology of "CONVERSION THERAPY" and throwing other therapists under the bus who have been offering tremendous help for decades. He communicated that he 'knew' and sounded like he had an insight into these ministries. AND where did he gain all this insight? He wasn't even a Christian when Exodus was thriving. You might at least talk with Joe Dallas who was not really involved in the leadership in the last days but saw the helpful years of Exodus as a former President of Exodus. Certainly not Christopher Yuan, as a mere author and speaker, who did not offer any pastoral care counseling as an Exodus ministry, but support Alan Chambers to the end. If you want to actually know, you might want to talk to the Chairman of the Ministry Council (that would be me) about what really took place. You might want to know about the process of the Matthew 18 path to trying to redeem Exodus from the clutches of Whitten and Chambers. I welcome a phone or zoom meeting to help clarify a lot of what you believe, which is false. Becket, do you realize you shame yourself by revealing you did NOT do your research? Do you understand that you crossed a line in sinning against many leaders that actually offered great help in sound ministerial care? Do you even care? You really need to watch Andrew Rodrigues, who did his research on this subject. ruclips.net/video/hdac4O06Q4c/видео.html
At the end of the movie I prayed for everyone related to the production of the movie, the key characters particularly. My worst scene is the marriage between Julie Rogers and the other lady, but most especially for the so-called officiator of the marriages in that church. But thank God for his surpassing patience to still have His arms open for us all and for calling us unto repentance daily.
Great content, as always. I’m sharing your shows and messages with my friends and family. Your message for Christians with SSAs is inspiring. Keep going!
I love your statement Becket, “I am genuinely my true authentic self, as being a Christian” you are an instrument of His grace and mercy! I pray God uses your channel to reach many to Christ!
Becket Cook. You are truly a warrior of Christ whether you know it or not. Keep educating us because lots of believers do not understand how to love homosexuals and bring them to Christ.
Yes, it's like a cultural hypnosis thru visual effects, scenes that create a collage which are then termed "documentaries." There is so much exposure to the wrong messages decorated to entertain and to visually engage. Yet we know that Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. 2 Cor 5:17 Great vid! Thank you.

There's one more thing , my comrades, the god of the bible (JESUS WHITE OR BLACK) don't exist! SO LIVE AND LOVE!!!
So what? I've been celibate by choice for going on 7 years. I didn't need a sky fairy or book of myths to accomplish that. And yes, Ace is part of the LGBTQIA spectrum.
Try separating your past trauma from your innate identity and you'll be a hell of a lot happier, celibate or otherwise.
@@k.j.greenwood6473 Who said I wasn't happy? Stop projecting and making assumptions. I was quite clear about my deliverance. No need to be rude just because it triggers you and makes YOU uncomfortable.
@@mrmcgowan people in denial and preaching ignorance from that space are dangerous. Yeah, maybe that is triggering, as well it should be.
"If I can be made un-gay, so can you" is the underlying message of your "testimony" and therein lies the problem. "Leaving the lifestyle" doesn't change your innate nature. You took it with you. Just because you have no sex drive doesn't mean you're no longer gay. It means you're celibate. If you're happy, 👍 no problem, man. But once you figure out that there isn't some past trauma that caused your innate sexuality, it'll be easier to deal with.
@@k.j.greenwood6473 There is nothing to "deal with". That is your presumption and where you are wrong. I've already dealt with the trauma, which did in fact, lead to homosexuality (prior to that I had heterosexual interests). But as the scriptures say, I am a new creation in Christ. There is no more sexual desire for other men, so should I claim an identity I no longer experience? I had a deliverance experience that shifted my desires and interests. Just because you cannot comprehend it does not mean it cannot happen. You have not lived my life nor do you get to define my life; only Christ can do that.
Once you “ Know “ that God is …. that He
Exists, it completely changes your Life -
Amen friend
I lost a very dear childhood friend to AIDS 15 years ago. He was bright , talented and worked in Hollywood like you. I prayed for his salvation almost daily and he was saved by Jesus on his death bed. After decades of praying for my friend I had a false belief that it was nearly impossible for him to be saved, and that he likely would have never reached out to Christ had he not been near death. Your testimony has given me hope♥️ I just want you to know how encouraging your videos are. I miss him and often wonder what it would have been like to know him as a Christian. Watching you gives me a little glimpse of that♥️ I also really enjoy your videos with Chynna as you two remind me of the friendship I had with my friend . I look forward to seeing him in the clouds. Thank you so much for what you are doing Becket!
i am sorry for your loss. Be comforted that your friend is safe with Jesus and one day you will reunite.
@Debi's Design Diary The Lord gives us the strength.. I am so sorry for your loss.. God Bless you.. the Lord teaches us to pray..
Debi I’m so sorry for your loss. I love your channel and it’s so great to see that you follow Becket too!
Your joy in submitting to Jesus speaks to His value and worthiness and makes me want to love Him more. Thank you.
As someone struggling with homosexuality I find this channel very encouraging. My mom is trying to “pray the gay away” for me and get me married to a woman but I’m always trying to tell her that it’s not guaranteed desires will go away just because I’m saved. I should probably show her this video
@@pastorbri Because when you’re born again your desires change when they align with God. That’s something the LGBT community doesn’t get
Vincent this is always encouraging, it’s what God does when He makes someone a new creation in Christ “And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.”
1 Corinthians 6:11 and 2 Corinthians 5:17 and context, when like Becket is born again of the Spirit of God
No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
1 Corinthians 10:13
Your mom needs to listen to Christopher Yuan talk about Holy Sexuality. God’s goal is for all of us to become more and more holy. That does not mean that everyone needs to be a married heterosexual. I’m praying for you Vincent! ❤️
@@pastorbri are you saying that Becket Cook leaving the gay lifestyle was wrong?
@@pippinbaker8440 he's a troll. I saw more comments from him. Just ignore.
After being saved, Christians still go through sanctification. A process of letting go the old self by the power of the Holy Spirit. Christians grow in knowledge of God by spending time in his word. And with other believers. Edifying one another. Praise God!
That is true. Sanctification is not once but on going. In grammar ion is present happening. Our God will be pursuing till the end. Jeremiah 28:13
AMEN 🙏🏽
Sanctification can literally take a lifetime.
Amen
@@ChrisLaVoie541 thank you for your contribution. You miss the point clearly
My son’s husband told me “You can’t pray the gay away”. He doesn’t understand I want much more than that for my son. I want God to reveal himself to him through the power he has given Jesus Christ to save us from our sinful selves. I don’t care if he never gets married or has the desire to. I just want him to know the greatness and forgiveness and love that can be experienced through a life changing encounter with His Holy Spirit.. Praise God for his unending love for us all.
Calling the man who lives with your son his "husband" just feeds into the whole gay marriage thing. He is not his "husband". That's impossible from God's point of view since he ordained marriage between a man and a woman only. You should stop referring to this man as his "husband"
@@veganc5028 semantics, a name is just a name. Besides, I wanted to convey the type of relationship he was in.
@@gaylesimons8591 I don't agree. Introducing this man that way, like its a "legitimate thing" says, you believe that it is.
Gayle, I pray your son comes to know the living God in a personal way.
@@tstieber Our son is living with us right now. There’s no problem we are very close. I didn’t mean to imply that I don’t care what he does. I’m talking about once he has a relationship with the Holy Spirit he will have the guidance from Christ. I would neither encourage him to marry or not marry. I just meant I pray for his salvation over all sins, like the rest of us believers.. thank you for your comment and concern ❤️
I definitely won’t be watching the “documentary”, I dislike everything Netflix stands for and we stopped subscribing to their service over a year ago when they decided to bully Georgia about their pro-life laws.
I am also beyond frustrated with “woke” DEvangelicals looking at the problems highlighted in this film, thinking that is what “the church” thinks about homosexuality and totally rewriting the Bible as they try to “apologize”. As I commented on the original Facebook post of your article, if you think about it, the majority of the harm discussed in this film was not done by "the church", but by men who misunderstood and misrepresented the teachings of Jesus to such an extent that they themselves walked away from their own erroneous teaching. You did a great job of explaining that error in this episode, thank you 🌻
Agree
The funny thing is a lot of Christians have become “progressive” and don’t necessarily believe in what the Bible says yet all Christians are still portrayed as pitchfork folks and I find that interesting
Let’s pray for the martyrs; people are dying around the world for Christ.
Amen 🙏🏽 amen…. Those people are truly going through trials and tribulations hat we could never understand… until it happens in America.. which it will.. God bless you Kevin.. thank you for sharing
Yeah let’s also pray for those who haven’t heard the gospel
The problem with deception is that people don’t know that they are deceived 🤔😢
👏👏👏👏
I THINK they do, mainly I think they LOVE their SIN more which causes them to become blind. . . And ignorance plays a close second, not studying the Bible. . . Really studying, and last, Truly trusting God to do what he says He Will do! God bless you 🙏🏽
If our lives are focused on not being gay then we have already made sure that we will fail. Our lives ought to be about loving, and submission to, Christ! Jeffery McCall and I just finished up on Zoom! The interview goes up tomorrow! 😊
Hi Kyle, good title for your channel, good description too ✝️
When you come to Jesus, you don't stop 'being gay' per se; but if you really sincerely belong to Jesus (the only one in the form of a man to ever really love you) what happens is that part of you becomes small, whereas the part that desires to go in by 'the straight and narrow gate' grows larger by contrast. St. Paul's name literally means 'small' or 'little'; the name he took after accepting Christ. We Christians still have a 'sin nature'; there's a 'small' part of me that still wants to be Ziggy Stardust and sing along with ol' Boy George records. Speaking of David Bowie: I had a close friend who worked for David back in the 80s, shortly after he publically renounced 'being gay' (he also denied any of the 'gay' rights groups the permission to use his music). He was a man of prayer, in his way. I have a story about that; I hope Becket doesn't mind.
@@romanticandperky 1000% agree! Jesus is worthy of our whole heart and whether feelings change is irrelevant when we serve a God who gave it all for us while we were still sinning! I want more and more of Him every day!
@@omarperez4010 thank you!
Great point!!!
Love you brother, thank you for talking on this subject. When we struggle that's when we ask God for His strength, Bible says to resist the devil and he will flee. I am an ex bisexual. And sometimes I do struggle with these thoughts however Bible says to take every thought captive to the mind of Christ. If We confess it to the Lord and we ask Him to wash us if these then He certainly does ! And I do notice a big difference in the level of attraction I once had. I am happily married today with two beautiful sons and I still pinch myself that God had mercy on me all those years while I was in rebellion against Him and His perfect ways.
🙌🏻
I absolutely LOVE what you're doing with your channel Becket! Your love and devotion to Jesus inspires me. I'm grateful to hear you unfold the journey for a Christian who struggles with same-sex attraction showing us that Christ is more valuable than any sexual attraction, straight or otherwise. Holy sexuality needs to be encouraged in the Body.
I can only imagine what it's like being a Christian living in LA. I guess it can be viewed as a mission trip. ;)
yep!
A mission trip to a "foreign land" for Christians. Lol
These comments are just so bizarre to me. I’m glad we Christians don’t need to wear turbans, stars of David, hijabs, beards, and etc, given the shocking amounts of violence and discrimination those that do face in LA & United States of America. And still we find things to complain about? I know it’s a joke, but this comment rubs me the wrong way, no one sees Christianity as foreign in LA.
It's ROUGH! Everyone here is a zombie. Los Angeles 2022 is a cross between the movie Night of the Living Dead and what an insane asylum would look like if the patients governed themselves and there was no staff.
@@Slavaisusukhrystu violence and discrimination toward Muslims here in the US? Really? Sources please, I don’t believe that’s true at all. ( Not saying it’s never happened just that it’s incredibly rare compared to the discrimination rising against Christians in the US. ) Look just since June at how many pro life a Christians at crisis pregnancy centers have been attacked. And yes, Christians are pretty rare in LA. It is probably the least Christian city in America.
My fiance and I look forward to viewing your videos every Thursday, Becket! Thank you for sharing the truth!
Becket I just recently came across your channel and every time I hear you proclaim the gospel of Christ it just thrills my heart, thank God for your passion, keep going , God is going to use you to reap a harvest for him, remain faithful, Luv Ya bro
Becket Cook. You are amazing, may God continue to speak truth and life through you.
Our culture needs this Godly wisdom keep the videos coming ❣️
Thank you for speaking about this documentary. I think I'll watch it this week. What I notice about any LGBTQ film/documentary is that they always go against Christianity. Never any other religion who are also against homosexuality. Interesting.
It’s a spiritual thing. Ive read a comment from an ex atheist that said that even through they grew up atheists, their parents were atheists, and they weren’t around Christians (or didn’t know, because Christians don’t always go out there and say that they are), and that no Christian did or said anything that left a bitter taste in their mouth, they still found themselves hating Christianity and Christians. Even if they didn’t know much about Christianity or know any open Christians growing up. It’s definitely more spiritual than people think. My cousin is in lgbtq+, and they have a completely bad view of Christianity. Although they’ve never read the Bible for themselves, tried to understand it, or anything. Just assumptions. Trust me it’s spiritual. People have so much anger for Christianity in particular when there are many other beliefs that say the same thing or have more conservative leaning principles. But it’s only us that become the target 9/10 times
Other than that I can understand if someone had a bad home experience. But even with my own bad experiences, it NEVER made me super angry towards Christianity. Thank goodness because I needed saving. I was thinking that my life was so insignificant that I could take it.
Umm. Maybe it's because you live in a culture where Christianity has been the dominant religion for the past 1600 years...? Your victim mentality is showing.
Because you are only watching documentaries about your own country?? Christianity has been the justification for slavery, sexism, and throwing gay kids out on the street in the USA for forever. Otherwise, there are lots of documentaries about LGBTQ people in the context of other religions… Welcome to Chechnya comes to mind.
The reason they feel so free to attack Christianity is they know Christians will respond in love and only pray for them. If they attacked Islam's position on homosexuality they'd be beheaded by one of their fanatics.
Please be praying for Dr. Michael Heiser. He’s just been diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer; adeno carcinoma of the pancreas. Word just came out today on social media.
I will be praying!

Oh no! I'll be praying!

I heard a pastor once say, the opposite of homosexual is not heterosexual, it is Holiness. Love your show Becket. Miss seeing you with Chynna. Peace of Christ to you always. 🙏♥️
Bruh ur paster is wrong its called science. "Heterosexuality" is when you like the opposite sex. Nothing else to it
Becket, as a Christian trying to sort out the issues of homosexuality, and how to relate to those who practice it, your videos are refreshing, and spot on! Thank you and praise God for your dedication to the truth, in love.
@Deston Swan It's not an "ancient text," it's The Word Of God.
I attended Exodus conferences throughout the 1990’s. As a Christian, it felt so freeing just to be with other Christians who experience SSA. Not once was there ever any coercion or manipulation, nor any promise of “becoming straight.” It was all about discipleship. Were the people perfect? No. But that didn’t detract from the gospel and the hope of Jesus Christ for me. Do I still experience SSA? Yes. Do I also experience the tremendous grace and peace and provision of God? Absolutely. God has been so good. They’re always calling this program “conversion therapy.” There is no such thing as conversion therapy, and neither Exodus nor any of its affiliates ever practice such a thing. It’s all about lies and deception. God is in control. Those who are His will see the light. Blessings.

Scott..thanks for your input. I'm trying to understand the lgbtq people! It seems like many people believe this culture isn't harmful by the many tv series which convey it as cute. People are surprised when I don't think Modern Family, Frankie and...., Schitt's Creek, etc are cute and funny!
@@KM-zn3lx I had a reply for you, but evidently Google deemed it as hate speech, so it got removed after being posted - TWICE. Differences of opinion, even when they involve people with experience in that lifestyle, are being silenced.
Thanks for sharing, Scott.
You said it brother. Through Christ we are empowered to deny and starve sexual desires that are outside His design and harmful to us. I have encountered people who upon becoming Christ followers say they never again had the desire for drugs, sexual sin etc. But, I certainly would acknowledge that Godly counseling can be crucial for people of all walks struggling with compulsive sin.
Becket- you are so much of a fragrance of Christ to those who are being saved. God bless you. 🙌
Love you brother - God bless you
Yes 👍
You got canceled in Hollywood but you will be on the red carpet in Heaven and we will all be cheering!
Praying for protection for all of us from the spirit of confusion.
Sir, I have only one problem, and that is where minor children are forced into so-called therapy. Many years ago a trans girl in ohio was bullied by her parents and church and committed suicide. This is unforgivable and I will never forgive lawmakers that allow this to happen. No one will convince me this was the will of God.
I love you Becket! You have the perfect balance of sharing the gospel in love and truth and you can also be light hearted and laugh/chuckle about certain things about this topic. Love that you see things so clearly and logically. Appreciate this channel!
I so agree w/ Paula! I love your chuckle and I so appreciate all you have to share w/ those of us who are blessed by your ministry.
Thank you, Becket, for being a beacon of truth - a light of hope to others. It’s all about surrender to Jesus Christ the King of kings. Thank you! Praying for you!
Great message, Becket. Being a Bible student for years, I can tell you're quite studied in scripture and trust it. I've dealt with attraction to the same sex all my life, acted out on it and never married. I considered Exodus Int'l at one time but realized Jesus didn't call homosexuals to become attracted to the opposite sex but to cease the practice of homosexuality itself. As you mentioned, his recipe for being a follower is denying ourselves and sacrificing daily which is the same recipe for every other sin we'd love to do.
Man says: I was born this way
God says: you must be BORN AGAIN!!
✝️🙏🔥🔥🔥
Yes! ❤️
@@pastorbri homophobic means to be afraid of gay people. Disagreeing with a lifestyle doesn’t make someone homophobic.
It makes them BIBLICAL 💥
@@lionoffireministries truth bombs! I need this bomb emoji for all the truth bombs Becket was dropping ☺
@@ybh8ful amen!! Preach the truth and haters gonna hate ✝️🔥
Right on Beckett! I'm still tempted by female nudity even after being saved. I have to put up the shield of faith. Temptation will always be there. We still have the old nature to deal with. But if we walk in the Spirit we will not fulfill the list of the flesh (Galatians 5:16-18)😀
I’m a mailman. While I’m out walking my routes I see scantily dressed women, especially in this hot summer. I just try to not let my desire to look at them control me
🙌🏻
@monolith94 It helps me a lot to find different perspectives on lust - The Desert Fathers’ writings, and even Muslim and Orthodox Jewish wisdom has given me a lot of insight, especially the habit of averting your gaze.
Yes indeed ‘my life was rubbish before I met Jesus’. So recognizable.
Hollywood is the antithesis of denying oneself.
Yep.
For the movie, "Cuties" alone, no normal person should have a Netflix account.
I agree! I had to get it to write the review for TGC...
Becket! Your channel is amazing God bless you ❤️
What I love most about you Beckett is that you are VERY honest. You are vulnerable and admit that you still struggle with same sex attraction. You are very sincere. You also use God's word to call out sin,exactly what it is,SIN. Keep fighting that battle of the mind...keep serving God with your mind, that is exactly where the battle is. Thank God for a sound mind! :)
I'm so thankful to God for you Becket! Thanks for a great episode.❤️
🙌🏻
Dear Beckett, I might even go one step further and implore Christians to dump Netflix altogether. My family did a couple years ago after we got sick of them CONSTANTLY pushing the whole ‘Christians are dumb, but gay people are awesome heroes’ in a such a heavy handed way. And not even just gay sex, but all raunchy sex… and they would play trailers the moment you logged on, which were inescapable… including when our young son would log on. Aside from missing the last season of The Crown, it has not been missed much in our home. Even The Crown got pretty gross during the last season I saw. We have to start asking ourselves, “why am I funding this garbage to be made?” Just my two cents, which adjusted for current inflation, is worth about a half penny.
I have struggled with eating disorders most of my adult life. I never expected to lose all of my temptations in that area. Sometimes I still want that big plate of steak fries instead of the veggies. Or maybe a whole deep dish pizza. I have leaned on my faith all my life to help me deal with this. Why should it be different with sexual sins? The people from Exodus lied to themselves and others.
Old life’s misunderstandings Swept away by Gods truth 🔥🎙🔥. So Good Becket 🙌🏼
@@pastorbri Please cease spamming.
Your commentaries are to say the least ENLIGHTENING, THOUGHT-PROVOKING and absolutely NECESSARY for such a time as this. Thank you for being your TRUE, authentic God-given self and helping others reach their EXODUS from that confusing and soul-draining lifestyle. I pray that our eternal, Sovereign Father will pour out sufficient grace and power in your life to continue proclaiming the loving, life altering Gospel of Christ and THE TRUTH! Be blessed my brother! 🙌
You've been such a blessing Becket! I love what you said about HOLY sexuality being the goal instead of HETEROsexuality. I've never struggled with homosexual desires but my sinful heterosexual desires aren't any better. I'm grateful for the godly people God sent my way that allowed me, right from the start of my walk with Him, to understand that God does not always grant freedom from our sinful struggles (though I've known people who have been miraculously delivered as well). Indeed, his grace is sufficient and his strength made perfect in our weaknesses.
God bless you, brother!
So much good information, so enriching, so empowering, revealing and so much more! Thank you so much for taking the time and for the courage to openly talk about this so very controversial topic! God bless you so much Becket! What a blessing you are!
Love you!
Look forward to this show each Thursday. Thank you Becket.
First I want to say I really appreciate what you are doing thank you. I had gone to 2 exodus conferences, some 20 years ago. They did help me at the time to not feel so alone. For the most part I never felt like they gave me false hope. Sy Rogers was an major blessing. He was the best speaker they ever had in my opinion. He let us know that the father loves us no mater what we struggling with. It is by grace I am saved.
Wow! Thanks for all you do from the heart my brother! Look forward to seeing and hearing you in Amarillo, Tx this weekend! Blessings!
I live in Portland and I'm a Christian woman. For me, it's very hard to make new friends that aren't Christians. I'm not rude about sharing my faith, I don't ever talk about my opinion against the gay community publicly...yet somehow it seems *I assume * that people just don't want to be my friend because I'm a Christian. This really sucks as I really want non Christian friends too!
I went through exodus program and it was very helpful and saved my life. It was all that was available at that time for Christians who have SSA. It brought us together for mutual support and prayer.
Thank you for saying this: Yes, receiving Jesus and the indwelling of The Holy Spirit is better than counseling and/or therapy. Yes, in the past, there were counseling and therapy programs for same-sex addiction that were often cruel and hypocritical. Yet, there are many involved with these programs who are gracious and well-meaning, and those struggling with same-sex have received sustinence from them. Overall, the 'ex-gay' movement has shown real improvement (and Becket deserves credit for it, among others), and deserves many another chance in all it's facets. Amen.
Thank you for helping us navigate through all the “new stuff”. Going to read your article. We are older & it seems like there is something new all the time. 🙏🏼
I'm a gay man, a Christian and married to a man. We have been married for 5 years and have adopted 2 children. We are members of the First Baptist Church of Palm City, go to church every week, prayer meeting and sing in the choir. We have many church friends and live a happy life. What others believe is none of my business.
I love how u broke this down. Really helped me organize my thoughts & know how to express it in love.
We all have something we have to surrender daily. Doesn't really matter what each person's issue is.
Becket, you are so needed on RUclips and the logic and argumentative techniques you use to discuss pop culture is so refreshing to the trained mind. Your show is underrated.
When I consider this topic and how God doesn’t miraculously take every struggle away like he does sin… it reminds me of how beautiful your story is and how if you didn’t struggle we wouldn’t receive such amazing content to help our own lives. Thanks for your daily sacrifices Becket continue to represent Christ in honesty.
I can't even begin to imagine what you've been through, Becket! But I praise God for the joy, life and freedom you have found in our glorious Lord Jesus! May your testimony continue to bring many lives to Christ❣
Beckett your light shines so much. I'm thankful Christ is using you to spread His Word. You are truly a blessing and child of God.
Becket, when you speak of the love and joy you experience having a Christ in your life. Most people have absolutely no clue how or why you feel this way. Until Jesus reveals himself completely to their heart like he did with you. And like Paul on the road to Damascus. They may never know.
I told my supposedly christian boyfriend of five years I promised God I wasn't going to sleep with him anymore. He verbally attacked me and told me have fun in heaven and to get the f out of there. I was dumbfounded that he didn't respect my commitment to God. I'm sooooo happy now!!!
I'm getting closer and closer to the lord every day. My love for him grows bigger and bigger. I don't want that yuk life anymore! Good riddance! Thank you for your inspiration every day! I've never met you but I know you will be my brother in heaven forever.
Becket! You are such a gift from God. 🙏🏻💖 Thank you for your kind, gracious, honest heart for God and His people. You are one of the greatest blessings of our time. Much love to you, my Christian brother! P.S. - 21:29 And now Julie Rodgers has announced on Instagram that she and her "wife" are separating, and of course, she blames her experience with Exodus and Evangelicals for her failed marriage. I keep Julie, and all those lost in this difficult lifestyle, in my prayers. He pulled me out of addiction - I put nothing past our loving God! ✝😍
Beckett-you do such an awesome job of explaining how Christ invites ALL to come unto Him, and ALL to aspire to holiness, regardless of what each individual’s struggle of the flesh is! Scripturally this is how Christ wants us to be United. Well done! Thank you!
Beckett, I enjoyed your article. When you apply Scripture to your premise, your writing shines! 😊
Do I see a blog in your future? Perhaps? 😁
"a-sexual is like...uh...when you're... attracted to....like, ya know...it's when.... I don't know what a-sexual means..." hahahaha. Oh, Becket... you crack me up
😆😆😆
Becket, thank you for your channel. You are such a blessing to me and all who hear you! My uncle lived as a gay man from the 1960s-1980s. He said that the LORD "woke him up" when his boyfriend left him. He went to work one day and he thought they were "okay". He came back to their home and his boyfriend had taken EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING! This betrayal caused him to realize that he needed to depend more on the LORD and less on people. Anyway, he seemed more like a father figure to me than just my uncle. Since then, my heart is so tender to the gay community. We need to see everyone as people needing a Savior. :) GOD bless you, Becket!
Thanks again Becket! I read Jackie Hill Perry's book as well. I loved her insistence on EVERY BELIEVER being first married to Christ, that those who struggle with same sex attraction don't need to necessarily have all that gone to nevertheless submit that desire to Christ, just like I do if I'm tempted to lust after another man, being married to one. and putting all other relationships under that headship of Jesus. Amen!
Blessed are you when they insult you and falsely accuse you. Matthew 5 11-12. Of course the world hates you. God Bless you Beckett walk in the light as he is THE LIGHT ❤️🙏🏼
🙌🏻
I am not gay; but I am so so so encouraged by you Becket. Your love for God and honesty is truly a gift to us as well as you. I would like to encourage all who read this to pray for Becket; he is on the front line; taking the fight to the enemy. Be sure of this...we have an enemy of our soul and he is strategic. Becket is doing damage to the kingdom of darkness and so he will be a target. Thank you for all you do. Praying for you.
Your open honesty is amazing. Thank you once again for making things so abundantly clear. I agree, we are all called to die to self.
Thanks for your show… my 20 yr daughter is living with a woman and they are planning a wedding. I read Jack Hill Perry’s book 2 yrs ago and it was the first time I realized my daughter needed holy sexuality not heterosexuality. I’m so thankful God saved you so you can minister to others with your testimony. Your ministry has greatly helped
Hi Becket, thank you so much for your work. I really appreciate your honest and godly work.
Everybody, please pray for Michael S. Heiser, he is very sick at the moment. Pray for him and his loved ones.
Thank you
I wait for Thursday afternoon as well. I love you Becket Cook! Thank you.
I watched this (Pray Away) yesterday.. was unhappy about the message it left. Just wanted to tell you that I am on the same path as you Becket.
I LOVE how you speak truth in love and are so bold for Christ...May God continue to bless you, brother :)
As a Christian who happens to be black, I'm constantly shocked how many of my "race" don't put knowing Christ above race and black culture. I identify with new man birthed in heaven.
I think where some, not all, go wrong Is relaying God’s word in an angry and condemning way. Screaming, huge posters saying derogatory things, violence, and aggressive protests will never sway someone’s heart. Lead with love and guidance toward Christ and leave the wrath for God. This video is perfection. Share God’s word but do it lovingly and with respect
Thanks for the review! I have been watching for a review of this film, as I'm sure it's story telling will have an impact on many in the culture. We need to be prepared to give a reason for our inner hope!
I thank for God for your redemption in Christ and pray for your continued victory and ministry brother!
Look for the article in the description also
Samuel Perez (Ex-gay Stripper) recently uploaded two RUclips videos on this very subject. One is a podcast featuring Jeffrey McCall.
I will pray for Ryan tonight. God can do the impossible. Christians need to let their light shine bright so the rest of the world can see. God Bless..
Thank you for your kind and sensitive words even when you don't agree with a viewpoint. The is the beauty of actually knowing the love and the freedom that comes from Yeshua.
I love you Becket :-) Thank you for this.
You my Brother are a modern day "Paul the Apostle" for this generation. GOD bless you Brother!!!!!
How am I just seeing this? I thought I'd seen all of them. I ministered a lot in this area in the 80s and many of my ministry friends and those we were working with saw a lot of fall-out from the teachings of Exodus and conversion therapy. The church got so much wrong in those days. We can humble ourselves and own that without affiriming. You're spot on with this which is why we need you, dear Brother! 🙏🏻💛 Hope we get to chat someday! Life is a holy and hilarious three-ring circus sometimes!
Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.
J.C. Ryle, A Call to Prayer
Your article is really good, Becket! "Eternity will show that those who choose to live according to God’s beautiful purposes for sexuality-rather than taking pride in their own self-made sexual morality, however acceptable it becomes-are the ones on the real right side of history." Love that!
❤️🔥 When are you getting a podcast? 🔥🔥 Thank you for your perspective. God bless!
Thank you. I am looking into it.
I think you concede too much, Becket. Check out the commentary Anne Paulk did with Joe Dallas and Elizabeth Woning. Exodus, at least for the majority of member ministries, did not miss the forest from the trees.
Absolutely correct - PsychoBible - Andrew Rodriguez. Grateful you brought the needed correction in your video... ruclips.net/video/hdac4O06Q4c/видео.html
After hearing this video, I believe Becket Cook owes many ministry leaders that were a part of Exodus an apology for his parroting the "Pray Away" fallen failed leadership messaging of the HRC/SPLC ruse terminology of "CONVERSION THERAPY" and throwing other therapists under the bus who have been offering tremendous help for decades. He communicated that he 'knew' and sounded like he had an insight into these ministries. AND where did he gain all this insight? He wasn't even a Christian when Exodus was thriving. You might at least talk with Joe Dallas who was not really involved in the leadership in the last days but saw the helpful years of Exodus as a former President of Exodus. Certainly not Christopher Yuan, as a mere author and speaker, who did not offer any pastoral care counseling as an Exodus ministry, but support Alan Chambers to the end. If you want to actually know, you might want to talk to the Chairman of the Ministry Council (that would be me) about what really took place. You might want to know about the process of the Matthew 18 path to trying to redeem Exodus from the clutches of Whitten and Chambers. I welcome a phone or zoom meeting to help clarify a lot of what you believe, which is false. Becket, do you realize you shame yourself by revealing you did NOT do your research? Do you understand that you crossed a line in sinning against many leaders that actually offered great help in sound ministerial care? Do you even care?
You really need to watch Andrew Rodrigues, who did his research on this subject. ruclips.net/video/hdac4O06Q4c/видео.html
Thank you Becket for you witness, testimony and stand on this topic. I appreciate your faithfulness.
Love you Beckett!! You are so encouraging!! I can't wait to meet you in heaven!! God bless you Brother
At the end of the movie I prayed for everyone related to the production of the movie, the key characters particularly. My worst scene is the marriage between Julie Rogers and the other lady, but most especially for the so-called officiator of the marriages in that church. But thank God for his surpassing patience to still have His arms open for us all and for calling us unto repentance daily.
Great content, as always. I’m sharing your shows and messages with my friends and family. Your message for Christians with SSAs is inspiring. Keep
going!
Thank you
Becket. Christ loves you and so do I.
I love your statement Becket, “I am genuinely my true authentic self, as being a Christian” you are an instrument of His grace and mercy! I pray God uses your channel to reach many to Christ!
Great show and TGC article. Love seeing your subscriber numbers going up, up, up!
And being set free from lies, strongholds, and receiving restoration and redemption
You are such an amazing inspiration, blessing and example of how we should live out our faith in this world
. Thank you 🙏
I really enjoyed your article and today's show. Also, thanks for the notes from Jackie Hill Perry! Keep a going! (Dr. Heiser is sick, needs prayer.)
Becket, the truth you speak is refreshing and life-giving. So thankful for you.
Becket Cook. You are truly a warrior of Christ whether you know it or not. Keep educating us because lots of believers do not understand how to love homosexuals and bring them to Christ.
Yes, it's like a cultural hypnosis thru visual effects, scenes that create a collage which are then termed "documentaries." There is so much exposure to the wrong messages decorated to entertain and to visually engage. Yet we know that Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God. 2 Cor 5:17 Great vid! Thank you.
Thanks, Becket. You always speak the truth with love. I find you an amazing person. Blessing God for you.
Thank you so much!!! You will always be remembered as a rock for Jesus!!! You are truly doing Gods work!!!
I have been waiting for you to comment on this! 🙌
