I am a widow and I will remain single until I go home.
Big fan of Becket's ministry! Beautiful prayer to open up the show.
Thank you Becket for being so transparent! I loved when you said how your attraction didn’t go away ( whether it will or not) it doesn’t matter because you find Christ and nothing else matters. Thank you for sharing your testimony ❤️

This is disgusting like an ad to practice and not repentive
@@trinacurry3715 "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
Beckett's teaching makes this issue and the Bible clearer each time I hear him teach. I’m so thankful 🇨🇦
"...the play would get so close to the truth...but then, it would just like...collapse..." I get this! Great observation. I'm Becket's biggest fan.
That was good from him!
Loved your interview with him❣️ (The camera angle was fine :o)😘
I've had my own issues with this but it never seemed like a complicated concept for me because I was always taught that who you are isn't just physical, the real you is spiritual. Obviously that's not complete, but it made me understand that the physical world is not everything. Idk if that makes any sense, but it helped me to understand the difference between what I want and what God wants, and that what I want will almost always run counter to what God wants and I should strive to set down what I want to do for what God wants.
I think that's the whole point of life, really.
Victoria…..I’m your biggest fan!! Your such a sweetheart. Maranatha Yeshua! I can’t wait to go home to be with the Lord.
'I just met Jesus, and I'm going with *that* guy.' Amen! Love that!
Wrong guy to go with.

@@arminius504 yes
@@inYTbio_SiteLINKs2Verses_Bruv Nah ex Muslim here Jesus Christ is the guy to go with. If you try religion you not going to see any of his power or hear him and see answered prayers. But when genuinely seek him. You will find him and see him. The Christan lifestyle ain't eazy cause there will be trials and fire and wilderness. But also blessings. But God is very real.
@@jesusisking3722 You're talking to a Christian brother. When she said; "I'm going with that guy," I thought she was talking about Becket, not Christ.
I praise God He took you out of Islam.
I tell all my Christian friends if they want to be really blessed they need to listen to your testimony.
Always love to hear Beckett's fierce testimony.
What a GOOD word! 🙌🏼
Sound teaching, great testimony. So many of us need this. Please keep sharing.
00:35:50 I love it when pastors confess their own sin and weakness. It does create a culture that encourages honesty and humility.
I wish the pastor would have stopped interrupting and allowed Becket to finish his thoughts without interruption
I didn’t think he interrupted Becket much at all..
Great interview - I love Becket. Also, great interviewers as they didn’t interrupt and asked the important questions. May God bless both of your ministries! ❤️🇨🇦
“Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to take them.” Elisabeth Elliott
Always love to hear Beckett’s testimony! I love his boldness and love for Jesus. His podcast is great.
Becket is so great! Loved this interview. I am being faced with needed guidance to support friends and friends of friends who struggle with homosexuality and understanding how to converse and speak the gospel lovingly. This was very edifying. Praise God
It’s my first time listening to Becket‘s testimony.. I was in tears, it’s such an amazing story of redemption and restoration. Thank you so much for your bravery. Praying for you☝🏼☝🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wow. This is awesome. I could have listened to him for hours. Thanks for the honest conversation. Much needed today.
A very candid interview, thank you and a wonderful closing prayer to which I add "Amen!" God bless you all.
This is the best. Great testimony. May God continue to bless you and your ministry.
Excellent interview you guys! I'm very impressed you got Beckett Cook on. Nice !
thank you.... Becket's testimony always great to hear again
I love hearing Becket testify. I've heard it many times, but it touches my heart every time I hear it. Thank you for posting this.
what a beautiful testimony of God's faithfulness. Gives me hope to keep praying for my siblings.
Wonderful, honest and informative. Thank you. Love his testimony. I glean something new each time I listen to him.
I've watched Becket's testimony vid before, but this time I got tot hear a few new details. Praise the Lord! †♡ And AMEN to the closing prayer.
Becket knows the Bible. I'm so thankful God saved him.
Great discussion. Thank you. Glory to God.
Becket is awesome! So glad you did this interview. Gods grace is sufficient ❤️ praise Jesus
I’m such a fan of Becket’s ministry. He’s been the motivation I needed to dig deeper as a Christian. I had so many LA friends who lived that life. I know it well. I’ll never remember Intelligentsia the same!
True until you discover a far more fuller spiritual zone where thoughts become and conversations become real life then has a true meaning.
I am Orthodox Christian. One of my parishioners is gay and Jewish and a convert and his self-chosen celibacy is the best thing that ever happened to him. He is getting his life together, caring about himself and taking good care of his health and he wasn't doing that before. He has lost so much fear he used to have, and is facing life more (simply basic issues like managing money or seeing doctors, etc). He has a regular good prayer life. He is still open that he is gay and Jewish, he would never deny these aspects of his identity, but his love of God is so true and we love him in our parish. The real thing is that he comes closer to God and know Christ, that is it. The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. FWIW I had another friend who was very active in the Episcopal church and very open in his lifestyle, and was murdered by a couple of guys he picked up. I do think it is important that any church start to teach people that they need to do things that are healthy and good for them in their lives, not self-destructive. Also I may say there are some Orthodox priests who speak of "family-olatry," so I am hearing what you are saying.
One cannot actively be homosexual and claim to be a Christian in truth. AND Jewish? So he is gay AND rejects Jesus Christ? He’s a fraud.
@@clairebordeaux I don't think you understand the words "gay" and "Jewish". He's Christian and celibate
Wow, powerful and informative!!
Praise Jesus, Amazing testimony Becket ... may the Lord Jesus bless your ministry in bringing others who are in that lifestyle out of the darkness
Thankyou so much for this encouraging, real, powerful and open testimony! I take much from this for people in my life, who Satan is trying to bind for good in this fake identity. Such a sad and massive problem. Thankyou! Nothing is impossible for God! 💛
Thank you Beckett for such clarity. I stumbled on this channel by accident. I applaud you for what you're doing and may God continue to bless and strengthen you. I hope the youth you minister to will be drawn to the TRUTH. God bless you!!
I think I need to hear Tim’s teaching on Romans 7.
I always appreciate Becket’s honesty. This was a fantastic interview.
Amazing interview! 🙏
God bless Becket Cook. Great interview
It blows my mind how much our lives ran parallel. I was a party girl NYC heterosexual women who did my life just as you did yours. The funny thing is I also had the same exact experience with my discovery as you did. The empty end of the life of lies, the church ⛪️ experience and the profound love 💕 and walk with our Lord. Please contact me, we really must talk.
Wow! He just blessed my heart so much! God bless him.
Wonderful to see a convert.
Thankyou for your amazing beautiful powerful testimony Becket
Very good interview
At 59:42 the "world" is going to lie to you for the rest of your natural life" Such true and thought provoking words that we all should contemplate.
God bless you for your honest testimony!
Beckett Cook is so gracious … praying for his ministry to explode … so encouraging for me to have faith for my family & gay relatives who I dearly love. You are are a wonderful man of God Beckett. Prayers for your ministry. Fondly, Betty
Thank you Becket. You are a huge blessing!!!!!!!
May God bless you
AWESOME!!!!
Thank youso much. God bless you.
I congratulate you for being open to truth. Because to know the truth is the truth will set you free..
Wonderful interview on both sides. Cant wait to read the book. I am glad you brought up the fact that God doesnt make people gay. There is a myriad of reasons in this fallen world, that people are the way they are. Dr. Timothy Jennings does a beautiful job on one of his videos on genetic makeup being one of many ways that people are or lean toward being gay. God continue to bless your ministry.
Thank you all for this broadcast. I have been teetering on the fence over this issue. I didn't want to hurt anyone. But my worst fear is holding hands on the road to hell by sanctioning immoral behavior. I could go on, but I think you get the point. Thank you for easing my fears and help resolve my ambivalence.
Never seen a show pray at the beginning 🙏 really nice.
this is a really charming interview. very interesting - becket - you are the sweetest and most brave person - a very lovable person
You are an amazing man,Becket🙏🏽
wonderful
That was very good
Powerful testimony❤❤❤ praise God!!!!
Great interview. Wish “Dad” asked short questions and also gave his daughter the microphone. But maybe that’s how they planned it. Thanks for the show guys.
That conversation was really edifying! I finished this *whole* podcast because everything was so good from beginning to end.
I came to know about Becket just this December as I was listening to Christian podcasts over the holidays and his story is just a testimony that is totally saturated by Godʼs grace. I thoroughly enjoyed your serious and lighthearted exchange and I hope that you can get him on again right after you finish having him over your church.
I pray for your ministry to become Godʼs instrument of making His Gospel more known to your sphere of influence and may His glory become more evident as you obediently follow His call over your lives.
God bless you all and to God alone be the glory!
P.S.
I liked and subscribed to your channel!
I was living a similar lifestyle but as a straight male. It began to be a very depressing, hopeless landscape devoid of true love. It began to gnaw at my soul. I made my way back to a purposeful life and to the Church, but it took time and a lot of backsliding on the way. God is faithful if we are faithful.
God is Faithful DESPITE whether we are Faithful or not..blessings 🙏🏾
There is no such thing as a "man falling in love with another man". Authentic love is ordered, never disordered. It may have been feelings, lust, dependency, sentiment etc but true love is rooted in truth, rooted in order...we need to speak that truth and not support the lie. God bless~
Or simply put God first. With the knowledge that it could be very difficult but also acknowledge that God is first and keep close to him in truth and peace.🙏🙏🙏 Most of us are sinners in different ways yet we keep trying to change in PEACE for God.
@@phil4v8 Yes, putting God first who is truth, order, peace and all goodness is the very best way:+) It is tough in our fallen world and fallen flesh to do this...but the peace He brings is worth it:+) God bless~
@MMC 1287
Amen! Agree 100%. Thank you for speaking the truth instead of coddling sinful lies. God Bless💖
@@clairebordeaux I'm sure Mr. Cook doesn't realize that what he is saying is "off"...like most of us, myself included, I didn't know the truth that true love is ordered love. But once I did it made sense, set me free and I hope sets Mr. Cook free too:+) God bless~
Also, goodness is rooted in the Natural Law. And there is nothing natural about attractions or behavior that is Un-natural. Hope that makes sense:+) God bless~
Dear Becket, thank you for your beautiful testimony! I wish I could meet you in person to have a long conversation. I have several questions to ask you in different subjects. Is there any way I can write to you? I have several cousins who are living the gay lifestyle. They used to go to a Christian church and they are not walking with the Lord. All I can do is love them and treat them with respect and reflect Christ to them. The Lord continue to use you and fill you with His presence!❤
Love this, Beckets testimony brings glory to God. Thank u for this show, Lord.
Becket is God's gift to the world now, giving himself completely to God, a loving, living, sacrifice. Speaking truth courageously into the hedonistic culture of today. Risking stoning with many of his guests being totally given to God's truth. Proclaiming it loud and clear into every falsehood now embraced by the mainstream church, media and whole culture of the day. Giving God all praise.
Praying for Becket.
Becket is breath of fresh air. He used his God-given talent of being articulate and having excellent communication skills to enlighten especially gay people.
Thank you, Becket for your truth.
I am captivated by this fantastic interview ! Love Beckett Cook, praise God ❤️
What a blessing that God was the hound of heaven with you!
A good pastor on these issues is John Street. He has a book “Passions of the Heart “
Becket! I love his testimony.
GOD BLESS YOU
I love this guy God bless and keep,you
God’s grace is sufficient for all❤️
Beckett I respect you and your love for Jesus. My weakness was men. I’ve been celibate for 15 years. Of coarse, Satan has tried to tempt me but he knows now I mean business. Prayers for you sweet man.
15 years wow well done you
You were always searching and had a deep desire to find the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE, and His Holy Spirit drew you right at that point where you needed Him the most
Becket is a fantastic human. His testimony is phenomenonal. He provides so much light in a very dark world. Everyone can get get free. Jesus Christ is the light and the way.
The thing about the gay lifestyle being very dark and un wholesome, instead of the rose and happy life shown in movies and tv, is the same thing Milo Yiannopoulos said even before he decided not to be homosexual anymore.
The description of homosexuality as a lifestyle is a blatent oversimplification of human sexuality in general and homosexuality in particular. The purpose of this indoctrination of the collective societal psyche is paramount to the self validating delusion of heterosexuality possessing moral validity. The reason that we never hear the term " heterosexual lifestyle" is because there is no need to catogorize heterosexuality with such inherent connotative oversimplification in order to subconciously justify contempt and hatred through subjective comparison. While one may indeed choose the physical expression of inward sexual desire, that is not what ultimately defines ones sexuality, but the inward desire, or fundamental orientation itsself, and that is not chosen,and is present regardless of its being expressed or not. But to take the conversation to this deeper level threatens peoples subjectivly comparative sense of moral superiority. I have known homosexuals that have been married to the opposite sex, yet could only function with their wives by thinking of the male anatomy. They are still gay. Similar to the men in prison that can only function sexually with men by thinking of the female anatomy. They are still heterosexual. I mean, people think that people wake up and decide to be gay or straight over toast and coffee? Geeze.
@@christopherscheiber1439 Nobody thinks people wake up and decide to be gay or straight over toast and coffee. That's just an over simplification that lives in your head.
For some people, having sexual relations with someone's husband or wife ( adultery ) is repulsive and for others it's exciting and feels natural.
For some people telling lies feels totally natural and others just naturally know it's wrong and harms relationships.
Same goes for fornication ( having sexual relations outside of marriage ).
Just because some sinful behavior feels natural to you, doesn't mean that your not obligated to resist, restrain, and overcome that behavior. That includes homosexuality.
I listened to a retired psychologist, had done therapy for exclusively gay men ( just because of where his practice was ) and he said that in 40 years, he did not have one client that had not been molested by a man in their childhood.
I guess my point is that we all have certain sins that come naturally, and everyone has internal battles to fight, in order to enter the kingdom of God.
"If we really want to love, we must learn to forgive." Mother Theresa
Amen !
AMEN and AMEN 🙏
St Thomas Becket • pray for us
Glory to Jesus.. why did God directed me to this msg. My son is Gay and have handed him to God to
Take control of he’s direction. To God be the Glory 🙏🏻
Becket Cook is a real christian, driven by the Holy Spirit. Pray for him, because God is using him, and Satan does not like that.
Beckett story is familiar. I was also touched by the Holy Spirit.
What felt like an electric shock started in my head and ran
they my body and out my feet. In my head I heard the first
commandment. I'd like to say I became a Christian at that
moment, but it wasn't until '08, when I lost my only son, that
I was brought to my knees. I hoped I would die, because I
believed I would not get thru the pain. I knew I could not take
my life because my two daughters needed me to be strong. I
had seen my parents go through it when I was nine and my
youngest brother was killed. My son was born on his BD. I'm
here to say I'm happier today than I've ever been, thanks to
Jesus.

Amazing testimony glory to God in Heaven in Jesus Christ name ❤️God bless you all.
I don't know why this turned up in my RUclips feed. (I'm an older, secular, straight Jewish woman.) I suppose an algorithm "saw" that I'm interested in learning about various religions. Becket Cook certainly has a gift of being a compelling storyteller. And I'm glad that he's found happiness in his life, just as I'd wish for anyone to be happy. One thing I've never understood about many in the Christian Evangelical community. What ever happened to the "judge not" part of their beliefs? And what ever happened to humility? In their view, being gay is a sin, and they, apparently, have the corner on Truth. I know they point to passages in the bible to justify their beliefs. Just as many in the past pointed to passages to justify beliefs like slavery. I don't understand why we can't all just truly love our fellow man--not in a condescending way "in spite of," but in the spirit of acceptance for all our differences, without judgment.
Jackie, if you love someone and you know that person is not doing something right, you will definitely let them know. Nobody is judging but, just telling the truth.
@@bglr2783 Not doing something right according to your belief system, which may well not be their belief system. The humility part is knowing that you don't necessarily have the corner on truth. I think judgment is implicit here, which wouldn't be a big deal, except that people are getting hurt. LGBTQ people are more likely to commit suicide or be the object of hate crimes.
@@jackienaiditch7965 that just isn’t true, there are far more people being victimised and self harming that don’t identify as LGBTQ’s, that’s typical of our current narcissistic identity victim crisis that our climate political and social media are regurgitating such unfounded statements.
@@markshaneh Debating who is more victimized is just the type of conversation we don't need to have. How to love and accept our fellow man is the conversation worth having.
When you love someone, you tell them the truth.
I seen a advertisement apparently there's quote checkpoints ways that quote your identity is in your sexual identity
Brother Becket Cook can u interview Milo on your channel
Ephesians 1:4
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love
Couldn’t believe pastor Craig trying to amalgamate his Calvinist theology into another person’s testimony.
👍
A life filled with too many pleasures and too many options can turn out deadly for most.
💥 💥 Beckett ty for your testimony 🙏 ❤ this world was dark before knowing the true grace and patience of God in my, your's & others lives. Living for others, Jesus the Truth, the Word really finding the ❤ of my life. Non carnal is very freeing🙏❤🕊🎶 peace and love
I really like listening to you Beckett and I pray for all with SSA. As a devoted Catholic, the fact that Catholic priests are gay doesn’t change the fact that it’s contrary to God’s word. I pray for all who’ve dealt with this that they are healed in Jesus Christ and return to the Catholic Church, the only one established by Christ while He was on earth and 15 centuries before Martin Luther amended the Catholic Bible that led to currently 70K+ denominations
Thank you sir for addressing the homosexual sin clearly with that scriptural support of truth.(1John 3:1-8)
"...the world or The Word..."
💗🙏
Glad to know how 😢to transition
I've been watching videos recently about this topic, just found Becket Cook, who is a great voice for this subject. As a born again Christian woman in ministry, I'm really trying to understand this because in my own heart I have an aversion to homosexual behavior. Before I was saved, I didn't get it then either, but I had no objection to it; I thought it was just a lifestyle choice. AFTER I was saved, over time, I developed a strong righteous repulsion to it. But I want to be able to minister to these folks and so I'm trying to understand this. There are testimonials of people who do develop opposite sex attraction, seemingly by the power of the Holy Spirit. I would love to hear about that, how does that happen. Because if it is the sin that the Bible says it is (which of course it is) WHY do people have such a difficult time letting go of the compulsion to do it? Complex subject. Thanks for sharing this interview, God bless!
Its not the attraction its the ACTION....preachers who divorce and remarry; being single and having sexual attraction to the opposite sex without marriage even on the horizon. I have some female friends who have longed to be married...but its not happened (and neither has sex). We live in a culture where satisfaction of our every desire is the goal of life...rather than living a meaningful life (if the Bible is too far out..at least listen to Jordan Peterson).
It’s a deliverance issue.
@@stvbrookie Agreed. That's what I heard in prayer when I asked the Lord. People have to really want to give it up. For Him. Like all addictions/fleshly sin. Peace!
Why don't you also hear testimonies like mine? I'm a born-again, Bible believing Christian in a gay union given over to God whom I walk with daily.
The fact you felt such aversion, repulsion, to homosexuality before and after you were saved tells me this is a ministry you should not have.
@@inYTbio_SiteLINKs2Verses_Bruv several people have already addressed this with you, but a lifestyle that runs contrary to the Word is always going to run contrary to it. You can’t tell God to move. You have to move.
❤❤
perhaps that desire is in you to yearn for the truth comes from the Holy Spirit. Perhaps your baptism...God is there....and the church is praying for you. I was baptized Lutheran and I was encouraged many times to be baptized as a believer...but I always believed and joked that my infant baptism stuck. I believe that 'faith' is a gift from God.
Baptism is an outward action of an inner decision. It's a public confession saying we've repented of our sin and have made a decision to follow Jesus Christ.
Babies can't make these declarations.
@@mlynnkole448 that is a whole big debate....as the theologian RC Sproul says, even if your child doesn't know what is happening, God is present.
May we all be one and united in Jesus. It will happen before the end of the world
