As an ex-gay, I can totally relate to this man's perspective on the gay life style. I had a similar experience as he described. Holy Spirit hit me hard and I cried for hours. I gave up my lifestyle immediately and never turned back.
@@brandyandcream2 I'm not gay, but I'd like to give my two cents. I don't know if it's as easy as that, where you just lose attraction (although maybe it is for some people). I think as humans, we are all attracted to bad things sometimes, whether is is the opposite sex, other forms of sexual immorality, alcohol, drugs, gambling, stealing things you can't afford, food, lying, and innumerable other things. The difference, is that if you repent, God can give you the will to resist. Even Christians sin, so I doubt it's always as easy as that. I would love to hear others chime in with their thoughts!
@@marmitenot. I agree, as per Galatians 5:16 "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." The flesh will still want fleshy things but when we walk in The Spirit (in relationship with Christ), The Spirit will override those desires and bring us true joy and peace.
@The Moses Vlogs Nice try, but you won't convince anyone who knows God and Jesus they don't exist. God is as real as you. You are free to believe as you choose, but you have no right to disparage anyone else who believes differently. Don't be so intolerant and narrow minded.
Then there’s no need. But Egypt is a beautiful and great country and its culture and people too. As for bondage, everyone (or almost) of age has their kinks, to each their own. I don’t see the need to mention that in a bigotry video but okay.
He is referring to the Israelites in the Bible when they were slaves in Egypt and God brought them out of slavery into the promised land. Just like we were once slaves to sin, but Jesus came and died on a cross so we could be free from that bondage :)
Mathew 19:12 Eunuchs that are born that way are transgender. Eunuchs made that way by others were molested and something inside of them blocks off a certain type of body but it doesn't happen to everyone that is abused. Those that CHOOSE to live like Eunuchs FOR THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN are bisexual people that choose partners of the same sex-characteristics but opposite in regards to gender. GENDER is determined in the brain and designated at birth and has nothing to do with sex characteristics. Notice, God PREFERS for people to be in LGBT relationships. You know rapture occurs right HERE on earth right? Malachi 4:2-3 It is when God's true people shine like the sun with the glory of the Lord right here on earth. Jesus comes back to rule. Some people will live forever. The rapture teaching inside the fake churches is mostly LIES. The new heaven and earth will be made here. Do you get it? The ones taken are NOT good. WW3 will bring down all government institutions and they are ALL corrupt. 1/3 of all people will die at least. I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 and Acts 3:22-23 says it will come to pass that anyone that fails to listen to me will be utterly destroyed from among the people. Anyone that continues to teach the LIE of monetary tithing or sells anything at all using the gospel CHOOSES to DIE with the wicked. It's their choice. Same-sex marriage is NOT a sin. Mathew 19:12 says God PREFERS for people to be in LGBT relationships. Anyone that teaches it is a sin when it is not also CHOOSES to perish with the wicked. WORLD PEACE IS COMING! Asking questions is okay, but anyone that rejects the messages from the messenger of Malachi 3:1 rejects Jesus Christ Himself and that means they will also not be here when Jesus comes back. Luke 10:7 states the only wages for ministering are eating and drinking whatever you are given. not a sin. If you want those reads on how same sex marriage is not a sin and how monetary tithing is a huge lie, send me your email. Male or female is determined by gender, located in the BRAIN. Pretrib rapture is LIES, false teaching. Again. WORLD PEACE IS COMING! Stay out of the fake churches. In order to be a church, the place must house people inside of it. Otherwise, it's part of the system of Babylon that does nothing bur further satan's agenda. They all teach lies as well. ****
Awesome!! In 2007 I switched to trying to love my husband the way God loves me, so I could get to know God better by loving His way of unlimited loyalty and unlimited respect & patience (the loyalty for life as promised is the easy part. The every moment happy loving respect is impossible without God's constantly available power & ideas. But now he likes my Bible and wants me to teach it to the kids and wants the whole world to follow Jesus too so the world would be much better for our kids & grandkids and all kids and everyone. He doesn't claim to be a Christian though, not an emotional guy, so I think he's one of the last that will be first, as Jesus taught about.
My adult daughter is gay and it has been hard. The struggle between truth and love is real. Her father is a preacher but was very harsh to her and basically disowned her after finding her in a relationship with a girl. He did not show her any love, just judgment and it pushed her away from Christianity entirely. She will not discuss anything having to do with Jesus to me and it breaks my heart. I finally just started praying for her because I don't know what else to do but turn it over to God. I really appreciate hearing Beckett Cook give his testimony it gives me hope maybe one day she too will come to Christ.
I just read your message stargazer and wanted to say I was brokenhearted and struggled with the possibility of "pushing" my child out of the faith too with some of my responses to his turning away from the Lord. I will always remember in many times of crying and on my face before the Lord wondering where we had gone wrong, that he said, one day "Jenn I was a perfect parent (to my children Israel) and look what they did in response." When God gave me this new perspective I was drawn closer to Him "in the fellowship of His sufferings" experiencing in the tiniest way the pain He must feel with untold numbers of children who refused to listen to Him. We pray for our son daily and love him like crazy whenever we have the chance. It's taken years for him to love us again. We see this as the Lord softening his heart, so we have hope. Also, I listened to Christopher Yuan's testimony and felt a tremendous relief when he said we all - including our children - bear responsibility for our choices and to blame oneself for another's is a false blame. I'm choosing to believe this experience will form a huge part of my son's testimony of his journey back to Jesus. I hope and pray this helps a little ...
@@jenniferbarney1127 I picked up on that as well( the comment on how her father reacted) . One thing I have found is people make excuses why the children go the way they go by blaming the parents less than perfect response. We are all human and we react how we do out of fear and desperation that our children are lost . It's painful and it's hurtful and it's terrifying to think where they are headed. Just listen to what Beckett says this dark world is like . No parent would really want that for their child especially a Christian parent. I would like to hear more of exactly how Becketts parents treated him.. did they engage his boyfriend's ? Did they mingle with his friends and just accept it all? I personally could not do so and it puts christian parents in a very confusing situation. As Beckett says you have to tell the truth . They may perceive it as harsh even when it was really not. No one is perfect and it's not a parents fault if the child leaves the faith. They chose to do that and may use their parents harsh reaction as an excuse . But the real reason is that they know they are in sin but want to stay there , therefore rejecting the faith. We cannot all balance truth and grace perfectly every single time like Jesus did , but people need the truth. It's tough and I don't blame the father (realizing I do not know their full story). You can love , tolerate , and accept someone straight to hell if not careful.
How about just gain some humility and realise there are a thousand and one ways of being and living in this world and maybe just maybe she doesn’t need to explain her way of life. Maybe the world would be better if there were less people who felt they needed others to acquiesce and submit to the religious lifestyle others were brought up in. Leave the poor girl alone and love her and respect that her reality of the world is different to yours. I know you’re coming from a place of concern but it will only hurt her. As a graduate of theology I can tell you the basis of homosexual prohibition is more nuanced and complex than what Christians insist upon.
@@Harvyy99 Speaking of humility, don't you find it a little bit hypocritical that you are preaching about what I should do with my daughter and proclaiming you know the truth of God's word and use your study of theology as a justification of that? Likewise, I was educated, I studied law and here is what I would like you to think on....what do you think what happen if I went to court and stood before the judge and told the other side that their case was null and void because I studied law? That is exactly what you just did in your comment to me. Scripture clearly states that homosexuality is a sin, it is not nuanced and complex, it stated in scripture. Religion is a completely different topic. Religion is men's traditions and has relatively nothing to do with walking with God and Jesus and accepting the holy spirit and following the word of God and I am surprised you don't know that considering you studied theology.
@@stargazer1238 you should probably do some study on the cultural context and ancient Near Eastern view of semen and the penis, maybe then contrast it to Lev 18 and it’s standards on wastage of semen. Have you ever wondered why the Hebrew Bible never condemned lesbianism? We have evidence to suggest this was a part of pre monarchic Israelite worship. Your law degree doesn’t have any bearing on understanding ancient texts. My underlying point is that if you were born a Muslim you would likely be wanting others to adhere to your beliefs. It is perfectly okay for us to coexist with differing opinions, let her be Francesca stavrakapolou “god an anatomy”, a Hebrew Bible expert and in the ancient Near East goes into this is detail.
I never tire of hearing Becket’s testimony. Am praying with all my heart that a precious loved one of mine will experience the new birth that Becket has and leave homosexuality behind.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Get over yourself. If you have a problem with love, especially between consenting adults being themselves and not doing something wrong, but you’re fine with persecuting others, look at yourself. And don’t call yourself a Christian. They’re not the problem. People who are frightened hurt brainwashed like you are the problem.
@@lisa942 CHV HW is a troll. Those still trapped in same sex addiction hate ex-gay ministries for the same reason that the darkness hates the light. Becket is blessed, for He worked on his heart, and placed him next to Bible believers in a coffeeshop who gave him good witness. And now Becket is giving good witness. My advice, Lisa, for what it's worth, is don't get into debates with this CHV HW. You'll just get caught in a vicious circle. Whoever this person is, there not ready to hear the truth. Lord willing, someday they will be. The Lord has a way of preparing souls to receive the truth.
Have you ever lied? Of course you have! Everyone sins. We all are sinners in need of God’s forgiveness. It is only available through Christ. He loves you and will forgive you of ALL your sins if you come to Him in repentance and faith. Don’t wait. Do it today!❤️
@@aayvuhh you don't have to be religious to be a sinner, every person is a sinner, religious or non-religious. It is just that some recognize their sin. If I can relate it to non-religious terms, I would say its like an addict who finally realizes they have a problem and then they get the help they desire and need to live their lives free from addiction. Its really no different in some aspects. With that said, just because you become Christian doesn't mean you stopped sinning(although we strive to not sin and have remorse for the sins we do commit)and become a perfect person, its just that your penalty is paid and you no longer are recieving the wages of your sin which is death because Jesus paid the fine. God knows that we can't stop sinning because the heart of man(human race) is desperately wicked. It is simply recognizing our sin before a loving and just God(who BTW has shown to you and everyone else on earth the evidence that He is who He says He is in His creation, so that no one is without excuse), turning away from that sin(repentance) and recieving the gift of grace which Jesus did on the cross, bearing the weight of our sin to death so we wouldn't have to.
Very excited to learn about this as my Grandson is gay and married to a man who wishes to become a woman. Prayers please. They are Alexander and Darian, if you wish to pray for them. Thank you and blessings
wow..I'm an ex-gay..running across this on utube has given me more strength 💪 to stay away an humblely stay with Jesus..it can b lonely because I'm a Senior Citizen so my whole adult lifestyle an friends are no longer.... Jesus an his forgiveness,love, grace,mercy is well worth it..I'm so thankful he loved me first..😇🙏
Chris, it must be incredibly difficult to be in your situation. I’m so glad you have found that Jesus’ love, grace and mercy are worth it. Praise God for that!! I pray you find new friends who share your views and can help strengthen you in your journey. Keep up the good fight! You are loved and you belong to the Kingdom of God now!! 💕
The words "gay pride" sums up the issue. I think because Beckett was humble and willing to listen, that he successfully transitioned out of the lifestyle and into a relationship with Christ. With any sin, the key to freedom is humility.
Exactly Cindy! We have ALL had “sin pride” which means we do whatever makes us feel good instead of denying our sinful flesh to follow Our Lord. Our God Created us for HIM and we will never be happy until we give our all to Him. He only wants our love while we are on His earth. Our future is with Our Father, Son and Holy Spirit for ETERNITY my Brothers and Sisters! Please don’t throw away your Eternity for the empty thrills of power, sex and money. It will NEVER be worth it! I know because I am 65 years old and know all the pain of life when we get off track. Just STOP and turn back…repent and really mean it! Ask the Holy Spirit to give you wisdom and knowledge every day. Just talk to Jesus like you talk to anyone. He’s waiting for you to come to Him and will forgive and love you. He made you…He loves you! ✝️🛐🙏🏼❤️
@@lisev415 A relationship with Christ is a 'come as you are' party. Ever been to one where someone phones you, invites you to a party and says 'just come as you are' - they're great for a laugh. People come in sports kit, gardening clothes, whatever they're wearing at the time. But honestly that's all God requires of us. Just come as you are. Just come as you are, like we all do; adulterers, murderers, alcoholics, kids, teenagers stressed-out parents, rich, poor and let Jesus do the work in you - whatever needs doing. Keep looking to Him. The 'dry leaves' will drop off. Blessings 🙌
Wow!! Same here. I am an ex homosexual. Anyone who is in CHRIST is a NEW creation!! Thank you for this!!! I had a very similar encounter the living one True GOD JESUS. 🙏🙏
I am still attracted to men. Once you are in Christ and have been born again, you want to love God and flee from the sin of homosexuality which leads to death.. it's a hard cross to carry but Christ does it for you. I am not condemned for being gay but to engage in a lifestyle or partake in acts homosexuality will surly condemn you. Not because God does it either. It all has to do with what homosexuality is and the deep spiritual disease that it is. Read Romans 1, great truth of why God gave people over to that sin, rather than create them that way. People think that by embracing homosexuality they are actually being true to themselves, but in all reality they are just going deeper into darkness and feeding the very bait Satan is giving them ( a real identity crisis) you are not your sexuality. Christ freed me from wanting to be with men. Praise God! We love you Lord JESUS CHRIST! God bless you all!!
I relate to this so much. I was a practicing bisexual and a few years ago I was saved and became born again. It was not easy transitioning from that lifestyle to a Christian lifestyle. It’s still hard sometimes. I find myself being tempted to fall back into my previous lifestyle. But understanding scripture and having a relationship with God really changed my life and it’s an ongoing process. Purification and sanctification is a daily thing, but staying connected to God and having a relationship with Him keeps you grounded and firm. I would appreciate your prayers. Loved this interview. God bless
I'm praying for you today that the Lord will defend you against temptation and fill you with the absolute joy and freedom which come only from him. Love to you, my sister!
I literally cried when he was telling his story about the Holy Spirit and what God spoke to him. I love hearing testimonies about God. I am genuinely so happy when I hear people coming to Jesus. ❤️
Brothers, I am a Christian. I was saved 32 years ago when I was 19. I had it tough as gay facing rejection by my parents primarily, then after walking with the Lord I fell back into sin, got married to a man and it was all a mess... Now the church reject me as well even though I went back in repentance they refuse to restore me. I love the Lord and the main reason I got married was because I was feeling very lonely. But the Lord is so merciful and good that I know He has not only forgiven me, but restored me spiritually. I am fully aware that I have to deal with my same-sex attraction until I die unless the Lord makes a miracle, but that's ok if He choses not to do it. I love the Lord and I know He speaks the truth. I was glad to to listen to this video
You did not mention to us if you’re still married, just that it was a mess. I pray that you will find a loving church, one that will accept your repentance. May God Bless (from a Catholic Christian).
Lien, I would encourage you to read the word of God. There is power in his NAME and his word..EAT the word of God and it alone will TRANSFORM you. People can't,only God Can, and WILL..It is his WILL for you to be who HE said you are, and not what you FEEL you are. You are not Rejected. But Accepted in the beloved. Feelings are deceiving. I would say to you your body is not your own. It's the temple of Jesus..so we yield to what he wants and not what we want. (I pray God gives you understanding) Our flesh has an appetite, but we must starve it. Our life is not our own. I pray that God would be your appetite and take the desires of the flesh away from you. Every question you have is in his word. He did it for me. He can do it for you. Take Care. Love you.❤ And you CAN do it through Christ Jesus who gives us POWER to overcome. As he is, so are WE!
Listen my friend, if you want freedom now, attend one of Apostle Kathryn Krick’s services in Los Angeles. Not that God can’t heal you any other way, but the power of God is ALIVE in that place! Be blessed 🙏🙏🙏
Mark, I have seen your video at Anchored North where they did one of Becket’s story too titled Homosexuality was my Identity. Recommend A Change of Affection: A Gay Man’s Incredible Story of Redemption, his RUclips show, and you can contact him via his website ✝️
@@dansaber4427 You’re everywhere in RUclips when it comes to this kind of issue. You are absolutely INSANE. And you are an IDOLATER OF THE Flesh, Conformity, World, and Popularity. Including Postmodernism, A New Gospel, New Age, and “Go To The Flow” narrative, and Gnosticism. Yuri Bezmenov was right all along about the Ideological Subversion; it has also infiltrated the church.
Thank you! I am praying for my son. He doesn’t want to hear any testimonies and gets mad when I try to talk about it to him. He was raised in the church. He says he believes but that he can’t change this. I’ve been praying, anointing & believing the Lord will deliver him. It’s so hard
I believe we all have blessings and challenges in life. They're different for everyone. Everyone should strive to recognize both and use them according to God's plan.
I personally know men that have struggled with same sex attraction as a child and young adult but they recieved freedom in the LORD Jesus and now are happily married with children🙏
Good for them. Hope them and their spouses/partners are happy and well and the children or them aren’t persecuted by people like you for being themselves and happy with someone they love and be in a happy family and relationship!
No, they struggled with persecution from hurt frightened brainwashed bigoted people like you. It’s not hard to accept and respect yourself when people are kind. And you speak of freedom yet you try to take away people’s (including strangers’) freedom by persecuting them for being themselves. I grew up in the modern world, where people realise how disgusting bigotry is and it’s not hard to not be a piece of shit sorry excuse for a human and just be a decent human. It’s easy to be yourself when people don’t dehumanise you for being attracted to a different gender than they are attracted to.
I follow an artist that struggled with same-sex attraction homosexuality. He’s been out of it for 40 years. Now he has an online ministry to help others that are struggling. He’s not welcome in most churches sadly. His church is his Home
Interesting. Those are the stories that intrigue me. I am not impressed by stories of people that had same-sex relationships but then became celibate while still having same-sex feelings and then say that they have "changed."
LOVE Becket Cook, so glad you had him on. He is a man who loves the Lord, and I've heard him say he can't wait to be with Jesus! That made me look at death as a Believer a bit differently. I want to stay with my kids and family, but really, this short life's goal is to aspire to be with Jesus in Heaven for eternity.
In another interview Becket admitted he still struggles with same sex attraction but just doesn't act upon it. I get why he wants to be with Jesus. No more struggle.
As someone who worked in Hollywood for years, I identify with Becket...being surrounded by movie stars, money, etc. and realizing that it was not what everyone thinks it is. I'm a straight woman in my 80's now but God removed me from that area. I pray for Hollywood every day that God will minister to them and save them.
My daughter has always been attracted to boys/men. Due to brokenness caused by men in her life she has now decided to be in a same sex relationship. Praying for God’s hands on her life and her partner’s life and to bring deliverance and redemption. SHe has a gift of healing and I know the enemy has attacked her with this brokenness to prevent her from knowing her calling God has on her life. Praying for her heart to choose God for her Peace and not the falsehoods the enemy is giving her. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 My prayer is equal for her partner too🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I pray with you that the Lord Jesus will shine His light upon them in Jesus'Name. That just like the prodigal son, they will come to realize what they have got themselves into. 🙏🏾
I pray she has an awakening to the truth in Jesus. Don't stop praying. Proverbs 22:6 says Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Keep running the race!
when we look at so many of these young men and women something in their life whether it was a bad experience or just a weak moment Satan was able to get in there and deceive…as intercessors we pray that they see the light that they reverse this brokenness and accept the promise that Jesus has for them we continue to pray and stand on God‘s word that He hears our prayers and remember He loves them more than we do and we love them a lot ❤️
It's funny the consequences of not holding men accountable. Their behavior does matter. They do cause countless harm to otherwise innocent women. Blame the bad men for her going gay. It's not her fault, she tried being straight but the men were just so disappointing... 😂 Oh, it's not funny. It's sad. As a professional spiritual counselor who dealt with grief and sexual assault victims, I've seen too many of them turn away due to the bad actions of men. I pray all rapists and domestic violence abusers are held accountable.
This interview is such a blessing! I love how Beckett points out how massively the culture has infiltrated and influenced the church with “another gospel.”
Something similar happened to me when God delivered me from the new age. I just knew that it was all wrong and dark once the Holy Spirit came into me and just opened my eyes. It was shocking how quickly my view changed. I love his testimony, I have to check out his book!
“Story telling is so persuasive, and it’s persuading a whole culture…” dang, this is why it’s so important to be careful about what we allow ourselves to watch and listen to, wow so convicting …
I felt this way when I came back to the Catholic Church after being gone for 41 years. I was going thru a really bad divorce.. I had caught my husband cheating and he got mad and hit me three times then tried so hit me with a car… Wow… I left and felt lost.. my daughter said why don’t you come to church with us and I did and I thought for sure the roof would fall in… but I felt peace. And after the divorce I’ve continued to go and have become very active in my church. It’s been a blessing
I love this brother. He's so full of grace & truth. I've always believed the most loving thing to do is speak the truth even if it makes us unpopular!!
Thank you, Allie, for interviewing this gentleman. His insight is very helpful to understanding how the church ought to engage the culture with Biblical truth in love.
The Lord is so good and His steadfast love and mercy endures forever! I was a sexually immoral drug addict until I was saved by the precious blood of Jesus. Thank you for describing your first church service. I remember hearing sermons in tears thinking every single one was written for me that day. Wonderful testimony brother.
Praise God for your testimony. I have 2 children that are professing gay. I stood my ground what God said about it, and they know my stand. But nevertheless, I will always love them as my God-given children and continue to pray for them. What happened to Becket's and many others out there, could happen to my children, if it's God's will. My Christian maternal love will continue to pray until my last breath.
I really appreciate the way he tells his story. He has true joy now, you can tell, and he is a very genuine person. I get so excited hearing stories like these where people give their lives to Christ and have incredible transformations!
His testimony is a lesson for Christians all around the world and how we should deal with Homosexuality in churches tell the truth with Grace I love that 🙏🏾❤️
You know all Beckets friends had to read his book and although he lost all of his friends, I know his words will not leave them. They will remember them every time they go against God, that will be my prayer for them. Awesome interview and my heart sings that Christ saved Becket and uses him in such a great way.
Becket has a depth of insight & integrity that most people probably never achieve in their lives. I really got a lot out of this guys. Thank you for sharing this light.
It is so encouraging to me to see how God is the one who softened, saved, and sanctified him. God used Christians in his journey, but it was so clearly in God's hands. Why should we be scared to share truth in love? God will use our little contributions miraculously, in ways we may never see
Thanks this was in incredible. Becket your salvation story had me crying. Holy Spirit, is so powerfully present in your witness. Keep shining the Light for Jesus!
Yes! A minster once explained it this way. When our focus stays on the world and the distance we are from it, thinking we are doing well, we lose track on how far it leads us away from God. Instead we should stay focused on God and staying close to him.
Love Becket!!! I will never tire of hearing his testimony. His wisdom and gentle spirit are an incredible breathe of fresh air. Thank you Becket for your continued commitment to the righteousness of Christ. Praying for you 🙏🙏
I was waiting for the obligatory "I still practice because my GOD is loving", well, shame on my expectations because this man, saved by God saying "Telling someone hey are sinning is the most loving thing you can do". Way to go sir. May our great God make you a testimony for the world. Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge".
Oh my gosh, I just love him SO much!! His testimony and how God so lovingly revealed Himself to him.. I truly see more and more the real Christ through Becket!!
Praise God! Brother Becket I am delighted to hear this astounding good news! Christ saved me from dying an addict. Blessings to u both for doing this video and sharing ur lives with us.❤️
This man is full of grace! His words are so powerful. What he shared about the believers of the early Church and how we should stop focusing on the inward, made me cry from a holy conviction. Thank you, brother in Christ!!! You are anointed!
I love you, Becket… you are so precious. I pray this encounter with Holy Spirit happens to my youngest son. I have prayed for 20 years and I am standing in faith that it will.✝️❤️ Thank you for your honesty and transparency.
Thank you Mr. Becket Cook... For so clearly and beautifully sharing your story and giving me a tool to reach my city and teach my children how to navigate our culture. The Bible is truly our source of the answers and our witness/testimony is powerful. Thank you for sharing your testimony and for communicating so beautifully.
What an amazing testimony! Thank you so much for sharing. I am a former atheist and the conversion to Christianity felt exactly the same way with being overwhelmed with the Holy Spirit. It changed everything.
HIS. TESTIMONY. I know exactly what he means when he says "I wanted the pastor to keep preaching..." LOL. I was a different type of lost but isn't it all the same? Lost and I didn't fully realize that I was... I felt it, but it was subtle. I will never forget that day I said "GOD PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME. PLEASE!" in my room after a church service... 9 years next month and I'm still in shock that He still comes after me - even when I feel like I'm a MESS. I am still in awe.
Every time I hear Beckett talk about his salvation it makes me cry tears of joy. The light in his eyes when he talks about the Holy Spirit is just profound. I've listened to his testimony several times and it never gets old hearing about it.
This is the definition of God and Jesus: love and respect and be kind to one another You: ~fingers in ears~ LA LALA LALA I AM BETTER THAN ALL, THEY SAID SO, AND IF SOMEONE IS DOESN’T ROMANTICALLY LOVE ONLY THE SAME GENDER I DO, THEY ARE BAD! GOD AND JESUS SAID SO! LA LALA LALA Embarrassing
I completely understand how that feeling of looking for another person to be a savior… I am not gay but that is how I destroyed my family….Praise God and his grace and mercy that saved me and gave me a new heart and new life! God Bless you!
Becket is so informed on the world and how it works, I always get a lot out of his talking about things I wouldn't know about on a personal level . Becket pulls the curtain back so simple guys like me can see things that I could never see behind.
This is an amazing interview. I so appreciate Becket’s candor and his awesome testimony of how God revealed Himself to him. We Christians must speak the truth, yet we must do it with Jesus’ love. After all, we are all sinners in need of God’s forgiveness and grace. Thank you both for this-I’ll be sharing it for sure. God bless you richly! 🙏🏼❤️❤️
Thank you, thank you!!! I had not ever heard of him until last night & today within your show. (Yes, I have listened twice) Having a child (or 2) flirting with that life style, I have been praying without ceasing regarding this issue. Because of this interview I’m now a new follower of his channel, and will read his book for sure. Blessings 🙏🏼
That was great! Thank you so much! I definitely struggle with that balance of grace and truth in this area. I love that he responded when people said, "We think homosexuality is a sin". It feels harsh, but telling the truth is of utmost importance!
Awesome interview! Allie, you asked the right questions! Becket's testimony was powerful and I was blessed! His responses were wise, full of love and grace without compromising God's truth! God bless him and use him for His glory!! 🙏❤
I cannot begin to describe how much this podcast touched me and how much wisdom I gained in watching it. It’s really one of the most enlightening things I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. I have no doubt that God will bring many into the kingdom through this spirit filled and Godly man. But Allie absolutely contributed so much as well with her Godly wisdom. I could have listened to the two of them for hours! ❤️🙏
Yes! Though I felt something stir inside me when Becket said, by all means go to the dinner....because in my mind I thought, “ with such a one do not even eat.” So I’d like to hear more on this!
It’s a weird thing-a difficult thing to explain, but being truthful is also humbling I think. I think that might be part of how to tell the truth genuinely and not harshly. If you are humble while telling the truth. If you’re really being genuine. If you’re even ready and willing to be humbled yourself. It’s not easy to be like Jesus, perfectly humble and genuinely caring and truthful.
I never tire of Becket’s story also! God has chosen him to reveal to us He is ALIVE and never leaves us, Jesus is His Son, the Bible is true, Heaven and Hell is real.. and invited him into His Kingdom! Amen!👍🏼🙏
This is my first time seeing and hearing Allie or Becket... very much enjoyed the program. Thank you for describing the balance between Truth and Love. Sometimes we think we know... but it is great to hear confirmation. Excellent!
I am both awed by and envious of his experience with God and the Holy Spirit. God is so awesome to save! I am so glad Becket has become a child of God and I wish him all the best, he was obviously called specifically by God for a very important purpose! God bless you, Becket!
I think this was my favorite interview thus far! Love his testimony and bravery in speaking out to help others who can identify with his story. Thanks, Allie!
I was listening to Beckets testimony for the 40th time and enjoying thinking "I'm sooo glad I had that same experience when I was born again cause not everyone does(flooding by the Holy Spirit and the presence of God) and then he said "september 2009"..😭😭😭I can't believe I've never heard that part before😭that is exactly when it happened to me😭 so Becket, you and I were going through exactly the same experience exactly at the same time in different parts of the world🙌🙌🙌you've always been one of my favorite brothers in Christ, but this takes it to a new level😊😊😊
What is wrong with you? You speak of love and God’s blessing and such yet you know nothing of it but you do seem to believe that includes persecution of others because you’re hurt and afraid and brainwashed.
@@Cassxowary what's the matter? Seems you're so angry about the power of Christ making people new creations. Who would be mad at that? Someone who's NOT comfortable with their own sin? Why attack everyone in the comment section like you are? People are showing love and the Lord's amazing ways of changing people in obedience to Him and you're mad about it? I'll pray for you to come to know Him as well. He will make you a new creation. He's done it for me and many many others. There's NO ONE being ugly in these comments but YOU. 🙏🙏
@CHV HW You have been a busy bee by deliberately inflicting negative responses in every post. The fact that you are coward enough to not share your real name is the indication that you are a troll. Seriously, what is your beef? It's clear that your understanding of God is of a worldly view and not of Biblical upstanding. What do you know about sin and repentance? What about Satan? Yes, Jesus is love, but it's not a permission to fulfill our every fleshly desire or with immoral thoughts, deeds and actions. Every sinner that Jesus encountered walked away from being a slave to sin. Jesus didn't bad mouth then or guilt trip them. Their sin was exposed and there was immediate repentance and a desire to trust and obey. Seriously, get a new hobby. I don't what satisfaction you obtain my trolling Christians, but I pray it affects your life profoundly.
One of the main things I take from this, was how open and humble this person was before God! I believe one of the main reasons that God was able to enter him and change him so instantly and completely was because of his willingness to humble himself before God and the church. Think about it, on his first trip to church, he actually went down to the prayer team, asked for prayer etc, publicly before God and everyone in the church. Many of us who go to church a lot still have trouble raising our hands or humbling ourselves and asking for prayer etc. Such a beautiful example! Thank you!
I am so glad for this interview between the two, because we live in a culture where many different movements are shoved in our faces and trying to shove it down our throats it can make a person hostile and bitter towards those communities, which isn’t good at all, spreading Gods truth uncompromisingly and lovingly is what we need to be brave enough to do, when hatred tries to wiggle its way into our hearts that is infection to the body; and as long as that’s there we cannot be of service to God.
Becket cook's testimony about His encounter with God is so true; how God can stamp His love all over your heart and remove all doubt in one swift move! Thank you mighty God
I just love this man and his testimony! The joy of the Lord just pours through him! It really gives me hope for my son who has been in this lifestyle for many years! Thank you Becket Cook for sharing your testimony.❤🙏❤
what a beautiful testimony! Gods grace is truly amazing and it is wonderful to hear about the transition from darkness into light. Praise God for every lost sheep that has been found!
I can’t stop smiling hearing his testimony. It challenged me to stand on the word to speak the truth in love and to not be ashamed of the Gospel. Share the truth, invite the lost to be free and to let GOD DO THE REST.
What heart for Jesus? This is just disgusting bigotry and lack of basic respect and class and humanity. Sickening and sad. And no, not an inspiration. Use your heart and brain and be a kind and respectful and decent human. and not a sorry excuse for a human. People just this are horrible.
What an excellent video. Every time I listen to you Becket talk about about your journey out of Egypt I gain new insight in how to love those who are in homosexual sin while speaking truth in love to them. Thanks Allie for having him on your show. God bless both of you.
I am crying right now ... when he said he was crying bawling like a baby and that he said he never cry like bawling like that except when he was a baby... And he said, it's true that I was born again, right ... What a testimony ... THANK YOU, BOTH OF YOU!! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH.. Love 💘 and prayers 🙏 your way. Praise The Lord! Thanks again!! 🤗🤗🤗
All of you here, sharing your testimony. Thank you. I will send out prayers of love to all of you and my own family. We’ve been touched by the pain of a life mistakenly lived at one point or another.
As an ex-gay, I can totally relate to this man's perspective on the gay life style. I had a similar experience as he described. Holy Spirit hit me hard and I cried for hours. I gave up my lifestyle immediately and never turned back.
So you are no longer attracted to the same sex?
Glory thank you for sharing!!
@@brandyandcream2 I'm not gay, but I'd like to give my two cents. I don't know if it's as easy as that, where you just lose attraction (although maybe it is for some people). I think as humans, we are all attracted to bad things sometimes, whether is is the opposite sex, other forms of sexual immorality, alcohol, drugs, gambling, stealing things you can't afford, food, lying, and innumerable other things. The difference, is that if you repent, God can give you the will to resist. Even Christians sin, so I doubt it's always as easy as that. I would love to hear others chime in with their thoughts!
@@marmitenot. I agree, as per Galatians 5:16 "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." The flesh will still want fleshy things but when we walk in The Spirit (in relationship with Christ), The Spirit will override those desires and bring us true joy and peace.
@The Moses Vlogs Nice try, but you won't convince anyone who knows God and Jesus they don't exist. God is as real as you. You are free to believe as you choose, but you have no right to disparage anyone else who believes differently. Don't be so intolerant and narrow minded.
"I have zero desire to go back into Egypt, to go back into bondage." What a powerful testimony. I love him so much
Then there’s no need. But Egypt is a beautiful and great country and its culture and people too. As for bondage, everyone (or almost) of age has their kinks, to each their own. I don’t see the need to mention that in a bigotry video but okay.
He is referring to the Israelites in the Bible when they were slaves in Egypt and God brought them out of slavery into the promised land. Just like we were once slaves to sin, but Jesus came and died on a cross so we could be free from that bondage :)
Powerful statement!
Mathew 19:12 Eunuchs that are born that way are transgender. Eunuchs made that way by others were molested and something inside of them blocks off a certain type of body but it doesn't happen to everyone that is abused. Those that CHOOSE to live like Eunuchs FOR THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN are bisexual people that choose partners of the same sex-characteristics but opposite in regards to gender. GENDER is determined in the brain and designated at birth and has nothing to do with sex characteristics. Notice, God PREFERS for people to be in LGBT relationships.
You know rapture occurs right HERE on earth right? Malachi 4:2-3 It is when God's true people shine like the sun with the glory of the Lord right here on earth. Jesus comes back to rule. Some people will live forever. The rapture teaching inside the fake churches is mostly LIES. The new heaven and earth will be made here. Do you get it? The ones taken are NOT good. WW3 will bring down all government institutions and they are ALL corrupt. 1/3 of all people will die at least. I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 and Acts 3:22-23 says it will come to pass that anyone that fails to listen to me will be utterly destroyed from among the people. Anyone that continues to teach the LIE of monetary tithing or sells anything at all using the gospel CHOOSES to DIE with the wicked. It's their choice. Same-sex marriage is NOT a sin. Mathew 19:12 says God PREFERS for people to be in LGBT relationships. Anyone that teaches it is a sin when it is not also CHOOSES to perish with the wicked. WORLD PEACE IS COMING! Asking questions is okay, but anyone that rejects the messages from the messenger of Malachi 3:1 rejects Jesus Christ Himself and that means they will also not be here when Jesus comes back.
Luke 10:7 states the only wages for ministering are eating and drinking whatever you are given. not a sin. If you want those reads on how same sex marriage is not a sin and how monetary tithing is a huge lie, send me your email. Male or female is determined by gender, located in the BRAIN.
Pretrib rapture is LIES, false teaching.
Again. WORLD PEACE IS COMING!
Stay out of the fake churches. In order to be a church, the place must house people inside of it. Otherwise, it's part of the system of Babylon that does nothing bur further satan's agenda. They all teach lies as well. ****
@@Cassxowary He was referring to exodus. When God brought the Israelites out of bondage.
I used to be a womanizer, to the point that I almost lost my wife. Christ's intervention made THE difference in my life!

“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
Ecclesiastes 4:12 (KJV)
Awesome!! In 2007 I switched to trying to love my husband the way God loves me, so I could get to know God better by loving His way of unlimited loyalty and unlimited respect & patience (the loyalty for life as promised is the easy part. The every moment happy loving respect is impossible without God's constantly available power & ideas. But now he likes my Bible and wants me to teach it to the kids and wants the whole world to follow Jesus too so the world would be much better for our kids & grandkids and all kids and everyone. He doesn't claim to be a Christian though, not an emotional guy, so I think he's one of the last that will be first, as Jesus taught about.
My adult daughter is gay and it has been hard. The struggle between truth and love is real. Her father is a preacher but was very harsh to her and basically disowned her after finding her in a relationship with a girl. He did not show her any love, just judgment and it pushed her away from Christianity entirely. She will not discuss anything having to do with Jesus to me and it breaks my heart. I finally just started praying for her because I don't know what else to do but turn it over to God. I really appreciate hearing Beckett Cook give his testimony it gives me hope maybe one day she too will come to Christ.
I just read your message stargazer and wanted to say I was brokenhearted and struggled with the possibility of "pushing" my child out of the faith too with some of my responses to his turning away from the Lord. I will always remember in many times of crying and on my face before the Lord wondering where we had gone wrong, that he said, one day "Jenn I was a perfect parent (to my children Israel) and look what they did in response." When God gave me this new perspective I was drawn closer to Him "in the fellowship of His sufferings" experiencing in the tiniest way the pain He must feel with untold numbers of children who refused to listen to Him. We pray for our son daily and love him like crazy whenever we have the chance. It's taken years for him to love us again. We see this as the Lord softening his heart, so we have hope. Also, I listened to Christopher Yuan's testimony and felt a tremendous relief when he said we all - including our children - bear responsibility for our choices and to blame oneself for another's is a false blame. I'm choosing to believe this experience will form a huge part of my son's testimony of his journey back to Jesus. I hope and pray this helps a little ...
@@jenniferbarney1127 I picked up on that as well( the comment on how her father reacted) . One thing I have found is people make excuses why the children go the way they go by blaming the parents less than perfect response. We are all human and we react how we do out of fear and desperation that our children are lost . It's painful and it's hurtful and it's terrifying to think where they are headed. Just listen to what Beckett says this dark world is like . No parent would really want that for their child especially a Christian parent. I would like to hear more of exactly how Becketts parents treated him.. did they engage his boyfriend's ? Did they mingle with his friends and just accept it all? I personally could not do so and it puts christian parents in a very confusing situation. As Beckett says you have to tell the truth . They may perceive it as harsh even when it was really not. No one is perfect and it's not a parents fault if the child leaves the faith. They chose to do that and may use their parents harsh reaction as an excuse . But the real reason is that they know they are in sin but want to stay there , therefore rejecting the faith. We cannot all balance truth and grace perfectly every single time like Jesus did , but people need the truth. It's tough and I don't blame the father (realizing I do not know their full story). You can love , tolerate , and accept someone straight to hell if not careful.
How about just gain some humility and realise there are a thousand and one ways of being and living in this world and maybe just maybe she doesn’t need to explain her way of life. Maybe the world would be better if there were less people who felt they needed others to acquiesce and submit to the religious lifestyle others were brought up in. Leave the poor girl alone and love her and respect that her reality of the world is different to yours. I know you’re coming from a place of concern but it will only hurt her. As a graduate of theology I can tell you the basis of homosexual prohibition is more nuanced and complex than what Christians insist upon.
@@Harvyy99 Speaking of humility, don't you find it a little bit hypocritical that you are preaching about what I should do with my daughter and proclaiming you know the truth of God's word and use your study of theology as a justification of that? Likewise, I was educated, I studied law and here is what I would like you to think on....what do you think what happen if I went to court and stood before the judge and told the other side that their case was null and void because I studied law? That is exactly what you just did in your comment to me. Scripture clearly states that homosexuality is a sin, it is not nuanced and complex, it stated in scripture. Religion is a completely different topic. Religion is men's traditions and has relatively nothing to do with walking with God and Jesus and accepting the holy spirit and following the word of God and I am surprised you don't know that considering you studied theology.
@@stargazer1238 you should probably do some study on the cultural context and ancient Near Eastern view of semen and the penis, maybe then contrast it to Lev 18 and it’s standards on wastage of semen. Have you ever wondered why the Hebrew Bible never condemned lesbianism? We have evidence to suggest this was a part of pre monarchic Israelite worship. Your law degree doesn’t have any bearing on understanding ancient texts.
My underlying point is that if you were born a Muslim you would likely be wanting others to adhere to your beliefs. It is perfectly okay for us to coexist with differing opinions, let her be
Francesca stavrakapolou “god an anatomy”, a Hebrew Bible expert and in the ancient Near East goes into this is detail.
I never tire of hearing Becket’s testimony. Am praying with all my heart that a precious loved one of mine will experience the new birth that Becket has and leave homosexuality behind.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Get over yourself. If you have a problem with love, especially between consenting adults being themselves and not doing something wrong, but you’re fine with persecuting others, look at yourself. And don’t call yourself a Christian. They’re not the problem. People who are frightened hurt brainwashed like you are the problem.
@@Cassxowary Did you listen to Becket’s story?
@@lisa942 CHV HW is a troll. Those still trapped in same sex addiction hate ex-gay ministries for the same reason that the darkness hates the light. Becket is blessed, for He worked on his heart, and placed him next to Bible believers in a coffeeshop who gave him good witness. And now Becket is giving good witness. My advice, Lisa, for what it's worth, is don't get into debates with this CHV HW. You'll just get caught in a vicious circle. Whoever this person is, there not ready to hear the truth. Lord willing, someday they will be. The Lord has a way of preparing souls to receive the truth.

@@romanticandperky he fell for the original sin. And so did you. Neither of you are among the living.
It is so encouraging that there are former LGBTQ sharing their testimony, is shows how God works in the life of ordinary sinners today!
gay people aren’t sinners lmao
@@aayvuhh everyone is a sinner
Ex-gay doesn't work
Have you ever lied? Of course you have! Everyone sins. We all are sinners in need of God’s forgiveness. It is only available through Christ. He loves you and will forgive you of ALL your sins if you come to Him in repentance and faith. Don’t wait. Do it today!❤️
@@aayvuhh you don't have to be religious to be a sinner, every person is a sinner, religious or non-religious. It is just that some recognize their sin. If I can relate it to non-religious terms, I would say its like an addict who finally realizes they have a problem and then they get the help they desire and need to live their lives free from addiction. Its really no different in some aspects. With that said, just because you become Christian doesn't mean you stopped sinning(although we strive to not sin and have remorse for the sins we do commit)and become a perfect person, its just that your penalty is paid and you no longer are recieving the wages of your sin which is death because Jesus paid the fine. God knows that we can't stop sinning because the heart of man(human race) is desperately wicked. It is simply recognizing our sin before a loving and just God(who BTW has shown to you and everyone else on earth the evidence that He is who He says He is in His creation, so that no one is without excuse), turning away from that sin(repentance) and recieving the gift of grace which Jesus did on the cross, bearing the weight of our sin to death so we wouldn't have to.
Very excited to learn about this as my Grandson is gay and married to a man who wishes to become a woman. Prayers please. They are Alexander and Darian, if you wish to pray for them. Thank you and blessings

@@mistycapps1152 I'm finding people that love Jesus..they aren't ex-gay..but that's ok..friends or not, I'm not going back to that dark world..😏
The words "gay pride" sums up the issue. I think because Beckett was humble and willing to listen, that he successfully transitioned out of the lifestyle and into a relationship with Christ. With any sin, the key to freedom is humility.
So if someone is gay, they cant have a relationship with God?
Amen. Well said
Exactly Cindy! We have ALL had “sin pride” which means we do whatever makes us feel good instead of denying our sinful flesh to follow Our Lord. Our God Created us for HIM and we will never be happy until we give our all to Him. He only wants our love while we are on His earth. Our future is with Our Father, Son and Holy Spirit for ETERNITY my Brothers and Sisters! Please don’t throw away your Eternity for the empty thrills of power, sex and money. It will NEVER be worth it! I know because I am 65 years old and know all the pain of life when we get off track. Just STOP and turn back…repent and really mean it! Ask the Holy Spirit to give you wisdom and knowledge every day. Just talk to Jesus like you talk to anyone. He’s waiting for you to come to Him and will forgive and love you. He made you…He loves you! ✝️🛐🙏🏼❤️
@@lisev415 A relationship with Christ is a 'come as you are' party. Ever been to one where someone phones you, invites you to a party and says 'just come as you are' - they're great for a laugh. People come in sports kit, gardening clothes, whatever they're wearing at the time. But honestly that's all God requires of us. Just come as you are.
Just come as you are, like we all do; adulterers, murderers, alcoholics, kids, teenagers stressed-out parents, rich, poor and let Jesus do the work in you - whatever needs doing. Keep looking to Him. The 'dry leaves' will drop off. Blessings 🙌
So true.
Wow!! Same here. I am an ex homosexual. Anyone who is in CHRIST is a NEW creation!! Thank you for this!!! I had a very similar encounter the living one True GOD JESUS. 🙏🙏
So you're no longer attracted to the same sex?
Yes!!!! Gloryyyyy to God!!!
There’s no such thing as an ex-homosexual
I am still attracted to men.
Once you are in Christ and have been born again, you want to love God and flee from the sin of homosexuality which leads to death.. it's a hard cross to carry but Christ does it for you. I am not condemned for being gay but to engage in a lifestyle or partake in acts homosexuality will surly condemn you. Not because God does it either. It all has to do with what homosexuality is and the deep spiritual disease that it is. Read Romans 1, great truth of why God gave people over to that sin, rather than create them that way. People think that by embracing homosexuality they are actually being true to themselves, but in all reality they are just going deeper into darkness and feeding the very bait Satan is giving them ( a real identity crisis) you are not your sexuality. Christ freed me from wanting to be with men. Praise God! We love you Lord JESUS CHRIST!
God bless you all!!
@@rosscaruso1628 so stop being disingenuous. ‘Ex gay’ implies ur now attracted to the opposite sex
I love Becket! He is a joy to listen to. He is factual, strong and committed in the faith. ❤
I relate to this so much. I was a practicing bisexual and a few years ago I was saved and became born again. It was not easy transitioning from that lifestyle to a Christian lifestyle. It’s still hard sometimes. I find myself being tempted to fall back into my previous lifestyle. But understanding scripture and having a relationship with God really changed my life and it’s an ongoing process. Purification and sanctification is a daily thing, but staying connected to God and having a relationship with Him keeps you grounded and firm. I would appreciate your prayers. Loved this interview. God bless
Praying!

I literally cried when he was telling his story about the Holy Spirit and what God spoke to him.
I love hearing testimonies about God. I am genuinely so happy when I hear people coming to Jesus. ❤️
I did too.
Brothers, I am a Christian. I was saved 32 years ago when I was 19. I had it tough as gay facing rejection by my parents primarily, then after walking with the Lord I fell back into sin, got married to a man and it was all a mess...
Now the church reject me as well even though I went back in repentance they refuse to restore me. I love the Lord and the main reason I got married was because I was feeling very lonely.
But the Lord is so merciful and good that I know He has not only forgiven me, but restored me spiritually. I am fully aware that I have to deal with my same-sex attraction until I die unless the Lord makes a miracle, but that's ok if He choses not to do it. I love the Lord and I know He speaks the truth.
I was glad to to listen to this video
keep professing that He is lord . keep his Word Hidden in your heart. Blessings and Grace. ❤
You did not mention to us if you’re still married, just that it was a mess.
I pray that you will find a loving church, one that will accept your repentance. May God Bless (from a Catholic Christian).
Lien, I would encourage you to read the word of God. There is power in his NAME and his word..EAT the word of God and it alone will TRANSFORM you. People can't,only God Can, and WILL..It is his WILL for you to be who HE said you are, and not what you FEEL you are. You are not Rejected. But Accepted in the beloved.
Feelings are deceiving. I would say to you your body is not your own. It's the temple of Jesus..so we yield to what he wants and not what we want. (I pray God gives you understanding) Our flesh has an appetite, but we must starve it. Our life is not our own. I pray that God would be your appetite and take the desires of the flesh away from you. Every question you have is in his word. He did it for me. He can do it for you. Take Care. Love you.❤ And you CAN do it through Christ Jesus who gives us POWER to overcome. As he is, so are WE!
God bless you and may he strengthen you on your journey
Listen my friend, if you want freedom now, attend one of Apostle Kathryn Krick’s services in Los Angeles. Not that God can’t heal you any other way, but the power of God is ALIVE in that place! Be blessed 🙏🙏🙏

I personally know men that have struggled with same sex attraction as a child and young adult but they recieved freedom in the LORD Jesus and now are happily married with children🙏
Good for them. Hope them and their spouses/partners are happy and well and the children or them aren’t persecuted by people like you for being themselves and happy with someone they love and be in a happy family and relationship!
No, they struggled with persecution from hurt frightened brainwashed bigoted people like you. It’s not hard to accept and respect yourself when people are kind. And you speak of freedom yet you try to take away people’s (including strangers’) freedom by persecuting them for being themselves. I grew up in the modern world, where people realise how disgusting bigotry is and it’s not hard to not be a piece of shit sorry excuse for a human and just be a decent human. It’s easy to be yourself when people don’t dehumanise you for being attracted to a different gender than they are attracted to.

I want to stay with my kids and family, but really, this short life's goal is to aspire to be with Jesus in Heaven for eternity.
Once I heard someone say that we either spend our short lives here leading people toward Jesus or away from Him. It really stuck with me.
In another interview Becket admitted he still struggles with same sex attraction but just doesn't act upon it. I get why he wants to be with Jesus. No more struggle.
As someone who worked in Hollywood for years, I identify with Becket...being surrounded by movie stars, money, etc. and realizing that it was not what everyone thinks it is. I'm a straight woman in my 80's now but God removed me from that area. I pray for Hollywood every day that God will minister to them and save them.

when we look at so many of these young men and women something in their life whether it was a bad experience or just a weak moment Satan was able to get in there and deceive…as intercessors we pray that they see the light that they reverse this brokenness and accept the promise that Jesus has for them we continue to pray and stand on God‘s word that He hears our prayers and remember He loves them more than we do and we love them a lot ❤️
It's funny the consequences of not holding men accountable. Their behavior does matter. They do cause countless harm to otherwise innocent women. Blame the bad men for her going gay. It's not her fault, she tried being straight but the men were just so disappointing... 😂 Oh, it's not funny. It's sad. As a professional spiritual counselor who dealt with grief and sexual assault victims, I've seen too many of them turn away due to the bad actions of men. I pray all rapists and domestic violence abusers are held accountable.
This interview is such a blessing! I love how Beckett points out how massively the culture has infiltrated and influenced the church with “another gospel.”
Something similar happened to me when God delivered me from the new age. I just knew that it was all wrong and dark once the Holy Spirit came into me and just opened my eyes. It was shocking how quickly my view changed. I love his testimony, I have to check out his book!
Lmao
Me too practicing with but always used and went by Bible I saw it as the ultimate book of shadows
“Story telling is so persuasive, and it’s persuading a whole culture…” dang, this is why it’s so important to be careful about what we allow ourselves to watch and listen to, wow so convicting …
I felt this way when I came back to the Catholic Church after being gone for 41 years. I was going thru a really bad divorce.. I had caught my husband cheating and he got mad and hit me three times then tried so hit me with a car… Wow… I left and felt lost.. my daughter said why don’t you come to church with us and I did and I thought for sure the roof would fall in… but I felt peace. And after the divorce I’ve continued to go and have become very active in my church. It’s been a blessing
Love Becket - if you think you have a target on your back, imagine how many entities are aiming at Becket - please support him!!
I love this brother. He's so full of grace & truth. I've always believed the most loving thing to do is speak the truth even if it makes us unpopular!!
I love Becket, he’s been a friend here on RUclips. What a Saviour we have!!!
LOVE Beckett!!!! He’s such a genuine and spirit-filled man of faith 🥰❤️
Thank you, Allie, for interviewing this gentleman. His insight is very helpful to understanding how the church ought to engage the culture with Biblical truth in love.
I love Becket...been following him for some time now. He has such a powerful ministry and is such a man of God. I'm humbled by his testimony...
The Lord is so good and His steadfast love and mercy endures forever! I was a sexually immoral drug addict until I was saved by the precious blood of Jesus. Thank you for describing your first church service. I remember hearing sermons in tears thinking every single one was written for me that day. Wonderful testimony brother.
Praise God for your testimony. I have 2 children that are professing gay. I stood my ground what God said about it, and they know my stand. But nevertheless, I will always love them as my God-given children and continue to pray for them. What happened to Becket's and many others out there, could happen to my children, if it's God's will. My Christian maternal love will continue to pray until my last breath.
Mine do not profess being gay,but they do reject Christ. The destination is the same,and I pray everyday for God to soften their hears and save them.
I really appreciate the way he tells his story. He has true joy now, you can tell, and he is a very genuine person. I get so excited hearing stories like these where people give their lives to Christ and have incredible transformations!
His testimony is a lesson for Christians all around the world and how we should deal with Homosexuality in churches tell the truth with Grace I love that 🙏🏾❤️
That’s not truth!
This is so beautiful. Praise God. He is stronger than any sin.
You know all Beckets friends had to read his book and although he lost all of his friends, I know his words will not leave them. They will remember them every time they go against God, that will be my prayer for them. Awesome interview and my heart sings that Christ saved Becket and uses him in such a great way.
Becket has a depth of insight & integrity that most people probably never achieve in their lives.
I really got a lot out of this guys. Thank you for sharing this light.
It is so encouraging to me to see how God is the one who softened, saved, and sanctified him. God used Christians in his journey, but it was so clearly in God's hands. Why should we be scared to share truth in love? God will use our little contributions miraculously, in ways we may never see
The intellectual honesty this man has is incredible. May he be used of God to reach so many people for Jesus Christ!!
I love listening to Beckets opinions and experiences. He speaks so beautifully in general but also the way he talks about the lord is just lovely. ❤️
Thanks this was in incredible. Becket your salvation story had me crying. Holy Spirit, is so powerfully present in your witness. Keep shining the Light for Jesus!
“What’s affecting our world view; is the Bible or is it the culture?” Excellent question. 👏👏👏
Yes! A minster once explained it this way. When our focus stays on the world and the distance we are from it, thinking we are doing well, we lose track on how far it leads us away from God. Instead we should stay focused on God and staying close to him.
Love Becket!!! I will never tire of hearing his testimony. His wisdom and gentle spirit are an incredible breathe of fresh air. Thank you Becket for your continued commitment to the righteousness of Christ. Praying for you 🙏🙏
I was waiting for the obligatory "I still practice because my GOD is loving", well, shame on my expectations because this man, saved by God saying "Telling someone hey are sinning is the most loving thing you can do". Way to go sir. May our great God make you a testimony for the world. Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge".
I feel affirmed as a Christian! goosebumps
Oh my gosh, I just love him SO much!! His testimony and how God so lovingly revealed Himself to him.. I truly see more and more the real Christ through Becket!!
Praise God! Brother Becket I am delighted to hear this astounding good news! Christ saved me from dying an addict. Blessings to u both for doing this video and sharing ur lives with us.❤️
I love Beckett. Such a powerful story and he has such a loving and accessible way of sharing his testimony.
I cried with his testimony because I can totally relate to how Jesus revealed himself to him.
Once Jesus shows up, nothing else matters. 😭😭😭😭😭🙌🙌🙌🙌
I’m overwhelmed just listening to Mr. Cook. Thank you for this interview.
This man is full of grace! His words are so powerful. What he shared about the believers of the early Church and how we should stop focusing on the inward, made me cry from a holy conviction. Thank you, brother in Christ!!! You are anointed!
I love you, Becket… you are so precious. I pray this encounter with Holy Spirit happens to my youngest son. I have prayed for 20 years and I am standing in faith that it will.✝️❤️ Thank you for your honesty and transparency.
When Becket said the Holy Spirit flooded over him I could help but tear up. Yay God! Thank you both for sharing. 🙏🙏💗💗
what a beautiful testimony, I believe it, God delivers us.
Watch Alisha Childers and Rosaria Butterfield it's so awesome ❤❤
Same! I was crying like a baby. Because I know that moment too well!
Thank you Mr. Becket Cook... For so clearly and beautifully sharing your story and giving me a tool to reach my city and teach my children how to navigate our culture. The Bible is truly our source of the answers and our witness/testimony is powerful. Thank you for sharing your testimony and for communicating so beautifully.
What an amazing testimony! Thank you so much for sharing. I am a former atheist and the conversion to Christianity felt exactly the same way with being overwhelmed with the Holy Spirit. It changed everything.
HIS. TESTIMONY. I know exactly what he means when he says "I wanted the pastor to keep preaching..." LOL. I was a different type of lost but isn't it all the same? Lost and I didn't fully realize that I was... I felt it, but it was subtle. I will never forget that day I said "GOD PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME. PLEASE!" in my room after a church service... 9 years next month and I'm still in shock that He still comes after me - even when I feel like I'm a MESS. I am still in awe.
Every time I hear Beckett talk about his salvation it makes me cry tears of joy. The light in his eyes when he talks about the Holy Spirit is just profound. I've listened to his testimony several times and it never gets old hearing about it.
This is the definition of
God and Jesus: love and respect and be kind to one another
You: ~fingers in ears~ LA LALA LALA I AM BETTER THAN ALL, THEY SAID SO, AND IF SOMEONE IS DOESN’T ROMANTICALLY LOVE ONLY THE SAME GENDER I DO, THEY ARE BAD! GOD AND JESUS SAID SO! LA LALA LALA
Embarrassing
I completely understand how that feeling of looking for another person to be a savior… I am not gay but that is how I destroyed my family….Praise God and his grace and mercy that saved me and gave me a new heart and new life! God Bless you!
So inspiring, Beckett. Our Sovereign God is writing your story for His Glory! Trust in Him.
Becket is so informed on the world and how it works, I always get a lot out of his talking about things I wouldn't know about on a personal level . Becket pulls the curtain back so simple guys like me can see things that I could never see behind.
This is an amazing interview. I so appreciate Becket’s candor and his awesome testimony of how God revealed Himself to him. We Christians must speak the truth, yet we must do it with Jesus’ love. After all, we are all sinners in need of God’s forgiveness and grace. Thank you both for this-I’ll be sharing it for sure. God bless you richly! 🙏🏼❤️❤️
Thank you, thank you!!!
I had not ever heard of him until last night & today within your show. (Yes, I have listened twice)
Having a child (or 2) flirting with that life style, I have been praying without ceasing regarding this issue.
Because of this interview I’m now a new follower of his channel, and will read his book for sure.
Blessings 🙏🏼
What a lovely man and what a glorious testimony of the love of Jesus Christ for us.
That was great! Thank you so much! I definitely struggle with that balance of grace and truth in this area. I love that he responded when people said, "We think homosexuality is a sin". It feels harsh, but telling the truth is of utmost importance!
Awesome interview! Allie, you asked the right questions! Becket's testimony was powerful and I was blessed! His responses were wise, full of love and grace without compromising God's truth! God bless him and use him for His glory!! 🙏❤
Amen. Such a good discussion. I’m glad there are people like you two out there and being bold enough to speak the truth!
I absolutely love Beckett Cook. I have been listening to him for a while now and his redemption story is absolutely incredible!
I cannot begin to describe how much this podcast touched me and how much wisdom I gained in watching it. It’s really one of the most enlightening things I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. I have no doubt that God will bring many into the kingdom through this spirit filled and Godly man. But Allie absolutely contributed so much as well with her Godly wisdom. I could have listened to the two of them for hours! ❤️🙏
I really appreciated this and respect his stance on the Word.
Yes! Though I felt something stir inside me when Becket said, by all means go to the dinner....because in my mind I thought, “ with such a one do not even eat.”
So I’d like to hear more on this!
It’s a weird thing-a difficult thing to explain, but being truthful is also humbling I think. I think that might be part of how to tell the truth genuinely and not harshly. If you are humble while telling the truth. If you’re really being genuine. If you’re even ready and willing to be humbled yourself.
It’s not easy to be like Jesus, perfectly humble and genuinely caring and truthful.
I am so excited that I found you Allie. And that you had Becket on your show just solidifies. All glory to God for you both and this program. 🙏✝️
Amazing testimony that God can reach and change any heart. Brought me to tears. God is so good. 🙌🏻❤️
I never tire of Becket’s story also! God has chosen him to reveal to us He is ALIVE and never leaves us, Jesus is His Son, the Bible is true, Heaven and Hell is real.. and invited him into His Kingdom! Amen!👍🏼🙏
Becket is a gem.
Thanks to both of you for having a honest loving conversation about this subject..
Becket is such a blessing. I truly love him.
This is my first time seeing and hearing Allie or Becket... very much enjoyed the program. Thank you for describing the balance between Truth and Love. Sometimes we think we know... but it is great to hear confirmation. Excellent!
I am both awed by and envious of his experience with God and the Holy Spirit. God is so awesome to save! I am so glad Becket has become a child of God and I wish him all the best, he was obviously called specifically by God for a very important purpose! God bless you, Becket!
I think this was my favorite interview thus far! Love his testimony and bravery in speaking out to help others who can identify with his story. Thanks, Allie!
I was listening to Beckets testimony for the 40th time and enjoying thinking "I'm sooo glad I had that same experience when I was born again cause not everyone does(flooding by the Holy Spirit and the presence of God) and then he said "september 2009"..😭😭😭I can't believe I've never heard that part before😭that is exactly when it happened to me😭 so Becket, you and I were going through exactly the same experience exactly at the same time in different parts of the world🙌🙌🙌you've always been one of my favorite brothers in Christ, but this takes it to a new level😊😊😊
God Bless you Anna wow God is so Amazing
Thanks for the conversation and exposition. Thanks Beckett for your testimony. ✝️🙌🏻✝️🙌🏻💙💞
What an amazing testimony of God calling Beckett out of darkness into His amazing light. Praise the Lord!
I love to hear becket’s testimony. It’s a inspiration for all.
I love Becket Cook and his show, his enthusiasm is contagious! What a beautiful testimony of God’s love for us!
What is wrong with you? You speak of love and God’s blessing and such yet you know nothing of it but you do seem to believe that includes persecution of others because you’re hurt and afraid and brainwashed.
God and Jesus are about love and kindness to all, but I guess you were brainwashed and taught and frightened and hurt out of it. Sad.
@@Cassxowary what's the matter? Seems you're so angry about the power of Christ making people new creations. Who would be mad at that? Someone who's NOT comfortable with their own sin? Why attack everyone in the comment section like you are? People are showing love and the Lord's amazing ways of changing people in obedience to Him and you're mad about it? I'll pray for you to come to know Him as well. He will make you a new creation. He's done it for me and many many others. There's NO ONE being ugly in these comments but YOU. 🙏🙏
@CHV HW You have been a busy bee by deliberately inflicting negative responses in every post. The fact that you are coward enough to not share your real name is the indication that you are a troll. Seriously, what is your beef? It's clear that your understanding of God is of a worldly view and not of Biblical upstanding. What do you know about sin and repentance? What about Satan? Yes, Jesus is love, but it's not a permission to fulfill our every fleshly desire or with immoral thoughts, deeds and actions. Every sinner that Jesus encountered walked away from being a slave to sin. Jesus didn't bad mouth then or guilt trip them. Their sin was exposed and there was immediate repentance and a desire to trust and obey. Seriously, get a new hobby. I don't what satisfaction you obtain my trolling Christians, but I pray it affects your life profoundly.
One of the main things I take from this, was how open and humble this person was before God! I believe one of the main reasons that God was able to enter him and change him so instantly and completely was because of his willingness to humble himself before God and the church. Think about it, on his first trip to church, he actually went down to the prayer team, asked for prayer etc, publicly before God and everyone in the church. Many of us who go to church a lot still have trouble raising our hands or humbling ourselves and asking for prayer etc. Such a beautiful example! Thank you!
I am so glad for this interview between the two, because we live in a culture where many different movements are shoved in our faces and trying to shove it down our throats it can make a person hostile and bitter towards those communities, which isn’t good at all, spreading Gods truth uncompromisingly and lovingly is what we need to be brave enough to do, when hatred tries to wiggle its way into our hearts that is infection to the body; and as long as that’s there we cannot be of service to God.
This is amazing and so enlightening! The Lord is truly in this conversation!
What a blessing this was to listen too. I laughed, cried, praised and prayed! Thank you.
Becket cook's testimony about His encounter with God is so true; how God can stamp His love all over your heart and remove all doubt in one swift move! Thank you mighty God
I just love this man and his testimony! The joy of the Lord just pours through him! It really gives me hope for my son who has been in this lifestyle for many years! Thank you Becket Cook for sharing your testimony.❤🙏❤
Nothing is impossible with God! Thank you Becket for sharing your story. Lord bless you!!!
One of the best interviews I’ve ever watched!!! Great info to put in my pocket as I minister to the LGBT Community 😘
Thanks
what a beautiful testimony! Gods grace is truly amazing and it is wonderful to hear about the transition from darkness into light. Praise God for every lost sheep that has been found!
I can’t stop smiling hearing his testimony. It challenged me to stand on the word to speak the truth in love and to not be ashamed of the Gospel. Share the truth, invite the lost to be free and to let GOD DO THE REST.
I randomly found Beckett on You tube a while ago.... love his heart for Jesus! he's an inspiration. Great interview...thank you!
What is wrong with you?
What heart for Jesus? This is just disgusting bigotry and lack of basic respect and class and humanity. Sickening and sad. And no, not an inspiration. Use your heart and brain and be a kind and respectful and decent human. and not a sorry excuse for a human. People just this are horrible.
@@Cassxowary I see you didn't press play on the episode. you should listen in. especially to the first half.
@@Cassxowary It's okay love. Jesus loves you too.
Becket is such a blessing to the church.
What an excellent video. Every time I listen to you Becket talk about about your journey out of Egypt I gain new insight in how to love those who are in homosexual sin while speaking truth in love to them. Thanks Allie for having him on your show. God bless both of you.
I am crying right now ... when he said he was crying bawling like a baby and that he said he never cry like bawling like that except when he was a baby...
And he said, it's true that I was born again, right ...
What a testimony ...
THANK YOU, BOTH OF YOU!!
GOD BLESS YOU BOTH..
Love 💘 and prayers 🙏 your way. Praise The Lord!
Thanks again!! 🤗🤗🤗
All of you here, sharing your testimony. Thank you. I will send out prayers of love to all of you and my own family. We’ve been touched by the pain of a life mistakenly lived at one point or another.
