Your story of seeing people out with their Bible inspired me to intentionally place myself in public with an actual Bible. I did this during a 6 week recovery from surgery, when I was off work and had to be pretty sedentary. I sat at a coffee shop every day, Bible out, and a book called the God You Can Know by the late Dan DeHaan. I had several divine appointments come from that time. Praise God.
When I was in Junior High and High School 1955-1961, I knew a girl that always brought her Bible to school. I admired her but didn’t have the courage myself to do it also.
I love Becket’s infectious love for Christ! His channel is so encouraging because it reminds me that God can save anyone and to keep praying for loved ones.
There are a lot of Christian parents who raise non Christian kids. And it’s something I as a parent have really thought a lot about, because I don’t want my kids to reject God and salvation from Jesus. Even prophets and judges in the Bible had children who did not follow God. So I realize that sometimes as a parent you may not be able to help your kids, no matter what. Only God can save, and call people to Him.
And I have experienced this recently with a friend who I have tried to help. She refuses to give up her substance abuse addictions, even though she is pregnant and has professed to be a believer. Logically I realize there is nothing I can do to save her or her baby, but I struggle to have peace with knowing only she can choose to change. God can call her to repentance, but if she refuses to listen, then she will not get better.
Even though ones children do not follow our heavenly father it does not mean that he wasn't present. It says, 'bring up a child in the way they should go.' Despite the ill treatment of the 'church' all he really needed was the influence he saw in his parents and I'm pretty sure theirs and others prayers carried him. Parents pray daily for your children cos no matter where our children go, the Creator of the universe will always be there.
You’re so right! That’s always hit home with me too. Samuel and Eli’s sons are examples of this. This jut proves how Christ is sovereign over all of our lives and He CAN be trusted
More followers of Christ need to remember that the Gospel is powerful and is enough to change people, and we don’t need concerts, or million dollar lighting systems, or free coffee and donuts, in order to plant seeds and share the truth and kingdom build.
I totally agree - that's what progressive churches give their people instead of the Gospel! It's like parents who spoil their kids rotten instead of loving them enough to spend time and engage with them. Wish I could find a church like this - unfortunately the choice is either crazy charismania or heaven-knows-anything-goes, love-is-love/inclusivity.🙄😢
I love you Becket. I love you Pastor Tim. I invite you to join me in praying for my 39 yrs old son to be saved and healed and delivered from homosexuality. Thank you.🙏✡️✝️
Pilgrims Progress is called an allegory. There is another allegory called Hind's Feet On High Places by Hannah Hurnard which is another timeless classic. I've read it many times when I feel that I need to go on the journey again. It is about a woman who's name is Much Afraid who goes on a journey with the Shepherd to escape her fearing relatives. And what a journey it is! A lot of people don't know that it's got a sequel that is very good too called Mountain Of Spices. I highly recommend them both. And thank you Beckett for sharing your testimony.
Lovin' this, praise God. God delivered me a long time ago from homosexuality. I tried to be a Christian while living that way. Doesn't work. Lol. Now I'm starting my RUclips channel and singing to God and whatever else I post. Thank you Jesus
That’s so awesome! The Lord used Pastor Tim Chaddick’s article on his testimony and “boutique church” in GQ magazine back in 2010 to lead me to Him! I bought the magazine to feed my fleshly desire- Zac Efron was on the cover, but praise the Lord! He had better plans for me, and knew this would get my attention.
I was born in downtown Los Angeles, raised in San Fernando Valley, family in Hollywood, have lived in the East Bay of San Francisco for the last 55 years! I feel kind of attached to you guys. So happy to hear both of your testimonies, encouraging and wonderful. Thank you👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Last year we traveled from NYS and went cross country. I really wanted to meet Becket in LA but were in Ventura on Sunday morning before heading east again. My husband read online that Becket's pastor was at Reality Ventura! We went there. Tim preached a powerful message and the anointing of God was in that place! We met Tim and my husband was really touched by God. We didn't meet Becket but we met Tim! It was a blessing!
Oh, this is such a great program, knowing that Pastor Chaddick talks about sin but also the Grace of God, I didn’t know that was taught anymore, hallelujah, PTL!!
You need to watch the sermons preached by Pastor John MacArthur, Pastor Stephen Lawson, and Pastor Paul Washer. All 3 preach straight from God's word. Wonderful sermons!!!
@@angelaeaglesbeauty3892 I used to listen to them but knew there was something off. It is their horrible gospel of Calvinism, not the gospel of Jesus Christ. Check out Leighton Flowers or Alana L for explanation. They are godly men, I’m not questioning their salvation, but their Calvinism . Very damaging
Such a wonderful interview, I “ugly cried” through it because, although I was raised in a Christian family too, I was just floating in Laodicea land until I was forced to face myself, and my sin 3 years ago. Thank you for this amazing interview, we NEED a Savior…praise God He exists!!
2 things about reading the Bible in public: 1. I used to be very "private" with my reading at home. I feared being seen as a "Holy Roller" and putting people "off" with religion. 2. I ran out of "private" Bible time and decided to take it to two coffee shops I visited before morning Mass. I sat in out-of-the way spots. And I was surprised at how many times people came to me and asked questions. Some were fellow Christians. Some were fellow Christians who "used to be Catholic," would tell me why, and turn their backs to prevent anything I (a Catholic) might say. I think it is so important for the public to see people who love their faith. Reactions - either good or bad - are open doors for people to think about the place of God and faith in our world. I have no goal to drag people into conversation. I just do "my thing" and let others do the same. If they want to engage, fine. But that is not the reason I read my Bible in public. I do it because I enjoy reading the Bible and having coffee. :)
I’m only 14 minutes in and I’ve already cried like three times! The Lord is so kind and so faithful! It’s amazing to see how He works in people’s hearts! ❤️❤️❤️
The night I was saved (and my husband), it was from reading, out of sheer curiosity, the Book of Enoch. It was crazy. Although it is not considered part of canon, God was able to use what I was reading to convict both me and my husband in the same hour. How amazing. Praise God for all His mercy and grace..
I love listening to radical conversion stories, for all the joy in them, like yours too, Becket. God is Love and Beauty. Romans 7 meant so much to me when I was a moody teenager battling my own grumpiness. I literally lived through it.
Years ago I went into a Taco Cabana to have lunch and read my Bible out in the patio afterwards. A young man walked over to my table and asked me if I had a Biblein my hands? The answer was yes. Then he said I have never seen anybody actually read a Bible. Then he walked off. I alway prayed that he would one day do the same.
You have truly blessed this very old woman who has known God for a long time and this "good news" is never is old news. Its new every morning, new every morning, great is Thy faithfulness Oh LORD, great is Thy faithfulness!
I'm praying for my daughter too. She's not a lesbian, but still needs to surrender to the Lord. At one time she did, but decided she was going her own way. She's paid a high price. She's now 42, and I just keep praying and waiting!
So incredible to hear the backstory!!! It never ceases to amaze me how the Lord works in our lives in ways we could never imagine!!! Very encouraging!!! 💖💖💖
Because of this interview I made contact with Reality LA and ended up watching a service. I understand why you heard and believed Becket. I am hoping we have a Reality planted in South Africa! Thank you for your courage.
I knew this had the potential to be a good interview - but this was actually a GREAT interview! Thank you both. Funny, I even learned things about you both… who’d a thought? Luv ya guys!
Becket, your laugh is so contagious I just want to adopt you as my 8th brother. Seriously. It just blesses my heart how you express so much joy and gratitude in your Faith. God bless you. Enjoy your sabbatical🙏
Thank you guys! You were very encouraging to me and In sure other parents with Prodigals…. In their lives…. Children, siblings, friends Who “want nothing to do do with their Creator “, our Amazing King Jesus….. but as we Pray for them and hear testimonies like yours, we are sure that Jesus has the Final Word!!!! Thank you! Enjoy your vacation Beckett!
You guys are so blessed who have at least one parent in faith or sibling....Glory to God...please, those who see this comment if you can say a prayer for us with parents/siblings or other close ones who are neither here or there...or not even close to Lord...thank you, xx
I absolutely love everything about this interview!!! What a powerful testimony Pastor Chaddick has and it's so cool to see how the Lord's plans worked in his life to go on to affect yours. I pray someday the Lord allows me to regularly attend a church where He has such a Biblical leader in place. What a blessing to the Body as well as to those the Holy Spirit is regenerating at that moment. Thank you both for sharing your time and testimonies with us! Blessings to you. 😊
Thank you Becket, appreciate you and your faith in the Lord. Your work provides so much hope and understanding, your strength and faith in the Lord is amazing. Pathway to the Lord is essential, can't imagine being without the Lord. God bless you.
One of the best assignments I had in Bible college was to write my testimony of how I knew I was lost and how I was saved. It was amazing how many people God used to guide me to the day the Holy Ghost got hold of me. It was such an eye opening experience to realize how many people God put in my path from my open rebelling against God to being washed clean by the blood of Jesus and redeemed. Now I know God and He knows me. I suggest everyone do the same assignment. It blew my mind how long God was trying to draw me near.
Smiling the entire time during this interveiw. "Such a relief when I met Jesus" so well said Becket!!! John Bunyan' s Book Pilgrims Progress is a must read!!! Hallelujah, Jesus saves! What great news!!
Becket, Hearing of your conversion from Romans 7 is wonderful! The power of the Word and Spirit! And you saw Tim with D Moo on Romans - the best Romans commentary - and Tim realized he was called to preach by reading Lloyd-Jones' lectures on preaching - the best book on preaching and by my favorite preacher. Grace & joy to you!
I really enjoyed this interview. Please pray for me cuz I am sooooo tired. I know the Word of God and it says when I am weak, then I am strong not because of me but because of Jesus Christ my Lord. In me. I am tired,......
I get weary too but I usually am trying to depend on my own strength and havent connected with My Best Friend in a while. Father I pray for Jeanie. Please help her to lay her burden at your feet. Thank You that Your grace is sufficient for us and for Your Holy Spirit that empowers us to follow you and to deny ourselves. Please bless Your people who are struggling to walk, struggling to hold back part of their lives for themselves and not submitted and cleansed by You. Thank you for Your gentleness and patience. Please give us eyes to see and ears to hear what you are trying to teach us. Thank you for making all things beautiful in Your time. Amen
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord and He shall sustain thee....He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." (Psalms 55:22) You are not to carry this load totally alone ....By faith roll it off, turn it over, to Him. He invites you: "My yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:30)
And yes, SIN sin sin sin.....must be mentioned constantly as we are wretched constantly..and we constantly need Christ , Father God and Holy Spirit...and His Grace, mercy and LOVE 🙏🥺🙏😭♥️🙏🧡🙏🙌
Amen! This is so great 💜 I was saved just a couple years before my dad passed and I got to know he was saved 6 months before he passed. God is so good! I can’t even explain it!
Watching this on 9/20. Happy re-birthday, Beckett! You've become like a friend to join in these videos. I will pray God continues to fill you, protect you, and arm you to be faithful and strong in battle.
Nothing but love .. thank you so much for such a powerful conversation. Totally blessed by the beautiful message of the gospel. Need more of this.. the world needs to understand and know this awesome message. Thank you again Brother Tim & brother Becket. God bless you both and the leading of the Holy Spirit for you both. Glory to God.. 🙏
I love to take my Bible on dates with my hubby. My foremost thought had always been: " let's talk about God's Word on our date...." But ever since the hearing of this testimony of our brother Becket I realize how important visible bibles can be.
This was so special and amazing to see you two brothers together! My heart was filled with joy for both of you! Sometimes after years of ministry to and for the Lord, ministers can feel a drain. But the gospel of Jesus Christ, spoken through the lips of men, but brought directly to the floor of the heart by the Holy Spirit, NEVER LOSES ITS POWER! Yes, we never know who will be impacted when we are led by God's Spirit. I praise the Holy One for both of you and how He is using you to share His Good News!
Becket one of your God given gifts is being a GREAT interviewer. I am so grateful I came across your podcast….it’s one of my favorites! ~GOD BLESS YOU & Keep up your great interviews 🙏👆✝️👆🙏
Becket please join me in praying my 3 beautiful kids back to God. They were saved as children, but are not living for him. Nick 33, Tyler 32, and Ali 27. All doing great by the worlds standards but this Momma wants them leaning on God and not their Accomplishments. : (
May God have mercy on your 3 children 🙏 Psalm 126:5 "Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy". God sees and hears your prayers for your children and in His good timing He will work. God bless you and may His mercy and goodness be poured over your life .
I'm especially enjoying your episodes of people who surrounded you in your journey to faith. Praise God for all the people who have invested on your life.
That was one of your best episodes. Becket, I've heard your testimony many many times yet I never thought to look into WHO actually preached the sermon on that fateful day. Tim Chaddick! Great job. I can't wait to listen to "the sermon" (and more) May God continue to bless and work through the both of you. glenn
God led me to attend Reality LA in 2008 for a few years until I left LA. God changed my life through that church. The preaching was always biblical, thorough, insightful, humble and the Gospel was given every single time. Pastor Chaddick did not skip over any parts of God's Word, as so many pastors (disappointingly) do, and he pointed every verse and chapter back to Christ. Though Reality LA had around 3000 people at the time, I had never been to a church where so many people glowed with their love of the Lord and actually served Him. Truly Pastor Chaddick's preaching changed the entire course of my life and I am so grateful. As a side note, an article Beckett later wrote in TGC also brought me back to where I need to be with the Lord after the had enemy derailed me. Be encouraged -- you both have NO IDEA how many lives you have won for the Lord by speaking the TRUTH. Don't grow weary doing this good, one day you will see the fruit of your labor and your reward will be great. God bless the both of you.
Pastor Tim has an incredible gift to preach with boldness... I remember going to RealityLA at the same time. I would go because of the depth of gospel preaching and how he and the pastors taught the gospel and were fearless about it in Los Angeles. Great podcast!! Thank you for sharing
Thank you Pastor Chaddick ! How wonderful that you are KEEPING THE MAIN THING - THE MAIN THING ! Or, as you said: "Preachimg The Straight Out Gospel !!!" Please keep going ! I'm praying for you. May God bless you. Laus Deo !
So glad you’re saved Beckett, would you please pray for my best friend R. Bajlo, he was gay when he moved out to CA (in ‘96) and I pray for him regularly but we’re mostly out of touch. I am so very much looking forward to meeting you in heaven! 🤗✝️🙌
Spectacular conversation! Thank you for sharing this wonderful special memory Beckett ❤ I wrestle constantly with so many questions regarding some tragic losses in my life and your platform brings me back in on solid ground. I am so thankful I found your channel, (pretty sure it was divine providence) ❤
I was a big fan of Tim Chaddick for years before he fell of my radar (my radar was skewed a bit, of course). Thank you for bringing him back to my attention. I loved, loved, loved your (Becket) book and I have put Tim's on my to purchase list. I pray God's protection and richest blessings upon you both!!!
I was with reality shortly after it started.. I remember the elementary school, that's where me and my friend chris started attending cuz he use to cut Brian's hair who was the worship leader at the time. .it's Soo cool to see and hear about your spiritual growth and the bond you have formed... We have some crazy stories as to what led us to christ. Totally super natural and wild and amazing. Chris and I have often said.. we'd of died some stupid way if it weren't for Jesus. ❤❤ We had good times at reality made some life long friendships there too.. I'm kinda far but Soo worth the road trip to visit and worship with you all ❤❤❤ God bless you all🎉🎉🎉
This is a powerful personal testimony. But, as the father of two teenage prodigal sons myself, I can't help but imagine the level of grief that Tim's parents must have felt when he was growing up.
Becket's story is the difference between making a decision on head knowledge and coming to know God by the work of the Holy Spirit. 1Cor 2:4-5 "My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 5 so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power."
I grew up in the N bay. My parents were Christian biker hippies in the Fremont area. I love those stories.... Miles Mcpherson is awesome! Small world. Great testimony from both of you. Awesome ministry.
What if it wasn't rare to see bibles on tables at a coffee shop... What if authentic random moments of fellowship were as common as pop culture or sports conversations. What if? 😃
I love hearing your story again! And I would love for you to do an episode in which you interview one of your friends who is not a believer. I think it would be really fascinating to hear you talk about your faith with someone from your “old” life. God bless you, your incredible pastor and your church.
Every time I hear about the miracle of people going from darkness to His light it grows in me such love for God and for you who are sharing. Thank you for the encouragement. God is still saving people!! Makes me ugly cry just hearing about it lol. ❤️
I never get tired of listening Becket testimony and so happy to hear that Pastor TIM preaches the gospel “Gods news” mentioning SIN. We have to listen the truth cause The true will make us free!
Beckett and you just prove the point to us that we should persist with witnessing even if the person is mocking us 😂! Thank you Lord - Your power is way beyond our scepticism and “coolness .” ❤
Thank you Becket and Tim for your transparency and godly wisdom. I praise God that He saved you both - I had always wondered about those people from reality that you had met at that coffee shop Beck and so to hear the story just brings everything full circle so thank you so much for that. I I had never thought or even heard about that angle in Romans seven of the possibility that Paul was not a believer yet When he wrote that or did I misunderstand something…? I’ve always understood that passage to mean that even as a Christ follower… Believer in Jesus Christ… The Bible is true… All of the above …that we all struggle with sin and we will continue to struggle this side of heaven…. we don’t ever get away from it on this earth. To me that chapter has always showed me the humanity of Paul and the truthfulnesses and openness of his feelings. Blessings to both of you… Thank you again for a great video!
Other passages in the NT say that we still sin as Christians (e.g. 1 John 1:8), but I don't think Romans 7 is a picture of the Christian life. I really think it i s Paul speaking as a Jew under the Law. Not converted yet.
@@Julia29853 agree - thank you Betsy! I don’t think I realized what was actually being said before…..but got it now - That’s what I get for multitasking and listening to a video of the same time… Lol

I was one of those USC students! I got saved the morning after Chase’s accident and I’ve never been the same. God bless you Tim!
I attended Reality LA from 2010-2013 and heard about this. The church and our small group really impacted my life in that time.
🙌

Awesome!♥️♥️♥️🇨🇦

Of 5 children, 4 are non believers, yet we've raised them all the same. We continue to pray for their salvation and give them freely to God.
Beckett your podcasts help me stay the course. Thank you. You have a great intellect.
I love you Becket. I love you Pastor Tim. I invite you to join me in praying for my 39 yrs old son to be saved and healed and delivered from homosexuality. Thank you.🙏✡️✝️
Karen, I am a Messianic Christian who fasts regularly. I will add your son to my prayers always, but especially in those times. Much love.
Hey Karen okay if I join prayer?
@@patricialacoss4916 ...Will you be so kind as to add my 3 grown children (who do not speak to me, btw)? Their names; Cindy, John, and Kelly
Patricia, can you please add my daughter to your prayer list? She’s also involved in a homosexual relationship. Thank you. God Bless.

Another great interview, Becket! Our churches need to preach on sin and repentance!
And on God's amazing grace; every single time. That's the full gospel.
Amen!
I was born in downtown Los Angeles, raised in San Fernando Valley, family in Hollywood, have lived in the East Bay of San Francisco for the last 55 years! I feel kind of attached to you guys. So happy to hear both of your testimonies, encouraging and wonderful. Thank you👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank GOD for true pastors who preach Biblical Truth even when it is difficult to do so and could mean people leave the church!

I got saved at The Rock San Diego through hearing the Gospel from Miles McPherson too! In 2007 🙌🏽 I also grew up in the SF Bay Area.
"Science and crystals" 😂 Pastor, your story is similar to mine. I never hated God, but rebelled greatly. Praise the Lord for his mercy.
I’ll never get tired of your testimony Beckett!!! Praise God, there is nothing too big for Him!
Hope you’re enjoying your well-deserved sabbatical Beckett😊
You have truly blessed this very old woman who has known God for a long time and this "good news" is never is old news. Its new every morning, new every morning, great is Thy faithfulness Oh LORD, great is Thy faithfulness!
Everytime I hear the gospel, I get so emotional and grateful. 🙏 Only Jesus. 💕🥰
This gives me hope for my daughter’s salvation and her turn from the lesbian lifestyle
The tears we shed for loved ones are collected and seen..our prayer matters.
Just keep praying....
I'm praying for my daughter too. She's not a lesbian, but still needs to surrender to the Lord. At one time she did, but decided she was going her own way. She's paid a high price. She's now 42, and I just keep praying and waiting!
The prayer of the righteous accomplishes much! Keep holding out faith for your daughter, I know that she’s coming back!
Same situation for my daughter. Praying daily.
Love this. God is so good. I can’t imagine my life without Him. He LOVE is so beautiful and indescribable. I’m so in awe of Him.
I am very thankful
For your obedience to preach the gospel- always remember it is the power of the gospel and not of us!
Praise the Lord! I am so encouraged by both of your testimonies.
So incredible to hear the backstory!!! It never ceases to amaze me how the Lord works in our lives in ways we could never imagine!!! Very encouraging!!! 💖💖💖
What a blessing!! You both took us to church today! The Lord bless and keep you both safe and prosperous in Him.🙏😇❤️
Because of this interview I made contact with Reality LA and ended up watching a service. I understand why you heard and believed Becket. I am hoping we have a Reality planted in South Africa! Thank you for your courage.
I knew this had the potential to be a good interview - but this was actually a GREAT interview! Thank you both. Funny, I even learned things about you both… who’d a thought? Luv ya guys!
This conversation was AWESOME. God works in amazing ways, you and Tim are so full of life. 🙏
Becket, your laugh is so contagious I just want to adopt you as my 8th brother.
Seriously.
It just blesses my heart how you express so much joy and gratitude in your Faith.
God bless you.
Enjoy your sabbatical🙏
We all want him as our brother! I guess he is our brother in Christ.
Thank you guys! You were very encouraging to me and In sure other parents with Prodigals…. In their lives…. Children, siblings, friends Who “want nothing to do do with their Creator “, our Amazing King Jesus….. but as we Pray for them and hear testimonies like yours, we are sure that Jesus has the Final Word!!!! Thank you!
Enjoy your vacation Beckett!
Amen!
Reality church sounds like what I would like from a church. I wish I could find a church like that near where I am.
Where are you located? There are several Reality churches in the US and even in London.
You guys are so blessed who have at least one parent in faith or sibling....Glory to God...please, those who see this comment if you can say a prayer for us with parents/siblings or other close ones who are neither here or there...or not even close to Lord...thank you, xx
I absolutely love everything about this interview!!! What a powerful testimony Pastor Chaddick has and it's so cool to see how the Lord's plans worked in his life to go on to affect yours. I pray someday the Lord allows me to regularly attend a church where He has such a Biblical leader in place. What a blessing to the Body as well as to those the Holy Spirit is regenerating at that moment. Thank you both for sharing your time and testimonies with us! Blessings to you. 😊

Thank you Becket, appreciate you and your faith in the Lord. Your work provides so much hope and understanding, your strength and faith in the Lord is amazing. Pathway to the Lord is essential, can't imagine being without the Lord. God bless you.
One of the best assignments I had in Bible college was to write my testimony of how I knew I was lost and how I was saved. It was amazing how many people God used to guide me to the day the Holy Ghost got hold of me. It was such an eye opening experience to realize how many people God put in my path from my open rebelling against God to being washed clean by the blood of Jesus and redeemed. Now I know God and He knows me. I suggest everyone do the same assignment. It blew my mind how long God was trying to draw me near.
Smiling the entire time during this interveiw. "Such a relief when I met Jesus" so well said Becket!!! John Bunyan' s Book Pilgrims Progress is a must read!!! Hallelujah, Jesus saves! What great news!!
Fantastic show Beckett !! Loved hearing from the vessel that God used to bring you to Jesus !!
Becket, Hearing of your conversion from Romans 7 is wonderful! The power of the Word and Spirit! And you saw Tim with D Moo on Romans - the best Romans commentary - and Tim realized he was called to preach by reading Lloyd-Jones' lectures on preaching - the best book on preaching and by my favorite preacher. Grace & joy to you!
Praise the Lord!! It was great hearing Tim talk about the church and your salvation. Thank you for sharing him with us!!!🙏👏
I really enjoyed this interview. Please pray for me cuz I am sooooo tired. I know the Word of God and it says when I am weak, then I am strong not because of me but because of Jesus Christ my Lord. In me. I am tired,......
I get weary too but I usually am trying to depend on my own strength and havent connected with My Best Friend in a while.
Father I pray for Jeanie. Please help her to lay her burden at your feet. Thank You that Your grace is sufficient for us and for Your Holy Spirit that empowers us to follow you and to deny ourselves. Please bless Your people who are struggling to walk, struggling to hold back part of their lives for themselves and not submitted and cleansed by You. Thank you for Your gentleness and patience. Please give us eyes to see and ears to hear what you are trying to teach us. Thank you for making all things beautiful in Your time. Amen
Thank you so very much
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord and He shall sustain thee....He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved."
(Psalms 55:22)
You are not to carry this load totally alone ....By faith roll it off, turn it over, to Him. He invites you:
"My yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
(Matthew 11:30)
And yes, SIN sin sin sin.....must be mentioned constantly as we are wretched constantly..and we constantly need Christ , Father God and Holy Spirit...and His Grace, mercy and LOVE 🙏🥺🙏😭♥️🙏🧡🙏🙌
God brought the right people to Chaddick McPherson and Lloyd amazing
Amen! This is so great 💜 I was saved just a couple years before my dad passed and I got to know he was saved 6 months before he passed. God is so good! I can’t even explain it!
Love you my brother in Christ ♥️
Gods Word saved you His word is powerful than a two edged sword.
Our amazing God
Praise God for all He has done and is doing!!!
Watching this on 9/20. Happy re-birthday, Beckett! You've become like a friend to join in these videos. I will pray God continues to fill you, protect you, and arm you to be faithful and strong in battle.
:)
Nothing but love .. thank you so much for such a powerful conversation. Totally blessed by the beautiful message of the gospel. Need more of this.. the world needs to understand and know this awesome message. Thank you again Brother Tim & brother Becket. God bless you both and the leading of the Holy Spirit for you both.
Glory to God.. 🙏
I love to take my Bible on dates with my hubby. My foremost thought had always been: " let's talk about God's Word on our date...."
But ever since the hearing of this testimony of our brother Becket I realize how important visible bibles can be.
This was so special and amazing to see you two brothers together! My heart was filled with joy for both of you! Sometimes after years of ministry to and for the Lord, ministers can feel a drain. But the gospel of Jesus Christ, spoken through the lips of men, but brought directly to the floor of the heart by the Holy Spirit, NEVER LOSES ITS POWER! Yes, we never know who will be impacted when we are led by God's Spirit. I praise the Holy One for both of you and how He is using you to share His Good News!
So excited to finally find this! Loved Tim & his beautiful family.
Fantastic seeing Pastor Tim again. Thanks for bringing him on.
Becket one of your God given gifts is being a GREAT interviewer. I am so grateful I came across your podcast….it’s one of my favorites! ~GOD BLESS YOU & Keep up your great interviews 🙏👆✝️👆🙏
Becket please join me in praying my 3 beautiful kids back to God. They were saved as children, but are not living for him. Nick 33, Tyler 32, and Ali 27. All doing great by the worlds standards but this Momma wants them leaning on God and not their Accomplishments. : (
May God have mercy on your 3 children 🙏 Psalm 126:5 "Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy". God sees and hears your prayers for your children and in His good timing He will work. God bless you and may His mercy and goodness be poured over your life .
I'm especially enjoying your episodes of people who surrounded you in your journey to faith. Praise God for all the people who have invested on your life.
Ah, this is LOVE! Hope! The BEST news!! The ANSWER for our world’s longing heart!
That was one of your best episodes. Becket, I've heard your testimony many many times yet I never thought to look into WHO actually preached the sermon on that fateful day. Tim Chaddick! Great job. I can't wait to listen to "the sermon" (and more) May God continue to bless and work through the both of you. glenn
wow. I listened to the sermon. What a tremendous job he did teaching the word to our ears so that Holy Spirit can then take it to our hearts. Amen
God led me to attend Reality LA in 2008 for a few years until I left LA. God changed my life through that church. The preaching was always biblical, thorough, insightful, humble and the Gospel was given every single time. Pastor Chaddick did not skip over any parts of God's Word, as so many pastors (disappointingly) do, and he pointed every verse and chapter back to Christ. Though Reality LA had around 3000 people at the time, I had never been to a church where so many people glowed with their love of the Lord and actually served Him. Truly Pastor Chaddick's preaching changed the entire course of my life and I am so grateful. As a side note, an article Beckett later wrote in TGC also brought me back to where I need to be with the Lord after the had enemy derailed me. Be encouraged -- you both have NO IDEA how many lives you have won for the Lord by speaking the TRUTH. Don't grow weary doing this good, one day you will see the fruit of your labor and your reward will be great. God bless the both of you.
Pastor Tim has an incredible gift to preach with boldness... I remember going to RealityLA at the same time. I would go because of the depth of gospel preaching and how he and the pastors taught the gospel and were fearless about it in Los Angeles. Great podcast!! Thank you for sharing
I am currently reading and learning about Romans! What a coincidence
So very cool! What a great story. God is just amazing the way He draws us to Him!
Thank you Pastor Chaddick ! How wonderful that you are KEEPING THE MAIN THING - THE MAIN THING ! Or, as you said: "Preachimg The Straight Out Gospel !!!" Please keep going ! I'm praying for you. May God bless you. Laus Deo !
beautiful men of God... glory to God!!!
what a duo of testimonies ! hallelujah! every verse of the word of God can save because it is the Holy Spirit who saves.
So glad you’re saved Beckett, would you please pray for my best friend R. Bajlo, he was gay when he moved out to CA (in ‘96) and I pray for him regularly but we’re mostly out of touch. I am so very much looking forward to meeting you in heaven! 🤗✝️🙌
Spectacular conversation! Thank you for sharing this wonderful special memory Beckett ❤ I wrestle constantly with so many questions regarding some tragic losses in my life and your platform brings me back in on solid ground. I am so thankful I found your channel, (pretty sure it was divine providence) ❤
I was a big fan of Tim Chaddick for years before he fell of my radar (my radar was skewed a bit, of course). Thank you for bringing him back to my attention. I loved, loved, loved your (Becket) book and I have put Tim's on my to purchase list. I pray God's protection and richest blessings upon you both!!!
I was with reality shortly after it started.. I remember the elementary school, that's where me and my friend chris started attending cuz he use to cut Brian's hair who was the worship leader at the time. .it's Soo cool to see and hear about your spiritual growth and the bond you have formed... We have some crazy stories as to what led us to christ. Totally super natural and wild and amazing.
Chris and I have often said.. we'd of died some stupid way if it weren't for Jesus. ❤❤ We had good times at reality made some life long friendships there too..
I'm kinda far but Soo worth the road trip to visit and worship with you all ❤❤❤ God bless you all🎉🎉🎉
This is a powerful personal testimony. But, as the father of two teenage prodigal sons myself, I can't help but imagine the level of grief that Tim's parents must have felt when he was growing up.
Becket's story is the difference between making a decision on head knowledge and coming to know God by the work of the Holy Spirit.
1Cor 2:4-5 "My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 5 so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power."
Oh my!!! Love these verses!!! Amen!
Thanks Beckett for the awesome interview! So wonderful to meet the Pastor Chaddick of your salvation story!
I grew up in the N bay. My parents were Christian biker hippies in the Fremont area. I love those stories.... Miles Mcpherson is awesome! Small world. Great testimony from both of you. Awesome ministry.
ALL THE FEELS with this interview!!! LOVE you BOTH!!!
:)
What if it wasn't rare to see bibles on tables at a coffee shop... What if authentic random moments of fellowship were as common as pop culture or sports conversations. What if? 😃
💗💗💗 Yes, please!
Love the humility of you both. You correctly give all glory to God. May God richly bless your ministries.
I love this channel. The modern people today who love this world can change.🙏✝️
I love hearing your story again! And I would love for you to do an episode in which you interview one of your friends who is not a believer. I think it would be really fascinating to hear you talk about your faith with someone from your “old” life. God bless you, your incredible pastor and your church.
Listened to your pastor’s powerful message!!!! Full of God’s Love!
Every time I hear about the miracle of people going from darkness to His light it grows in me such love for God and for you who are sharing. Thank you for the encouragement. God is still saving people!! Makes me ugly cry just hearing about it lol. ❤️
I never get tired of listening Becket testimony and so happy to hear that Pastor TIM preaches the gospel “Gods news” mentioning SIN. We have to listen the truth cause The true will make us free!
After reading your book, it's amazing watch this interview. Peace!
Beckett and you just prove the point to us that we should persist with witnessing even if the person is mocking us 😂! Thank you Lord - Your power is way beyond our scepticism and “coolness .” ❤
Thank you Becket and Tim for your transparency and godly wisdom. I praise God that He saved you both -
I had always wondered about those people from reality that you had met at that coffee shop Beck and so to hear the story just brings everything full circle so thank you so much for that.
I I had never thought or even heard about that angle in Romans seven of the possibility that Paul was not a believer yet When he wrote that or did I misunderstand something…? I’ve always understood that passage to mean that even as a Christ follower… Believer in Jesus Christ… The Bible is true… All of the above …that we all struggle with sin and we will continue to struggle this side of heaven…. we don’t ever get away from it on this earth. To me that chapter has always showed me the humanity of Paul and the truthfulnesses and openness of his feelings.
Blessings to both of you… Thank you again for a great video!
Other passages in the NT say that we still sin as Christians (e.g. 1 John 1:8), but I don't think Romans 7 is a picture of the Christian life. I really think it i s Paul speaking as a Jew under the Law. Not converted yet.
@@BecketCook I’ve been reading that chapter over and over since watching the video…….I think I understand now what you mean…..
Thank you!
@@Julia29853 agree - thank you Betsy! I don’t think I realized what was actually being said before…..but got it now -
That’s what I get for multitasking and listening to a video of the same time… Lol
I've been following Beckett for a while now and I just now realized he got saved by a Calvary Chapel pastor! We go to a Calvary Chapel here in NC!
If it’s CCFAY he’s coming to our church next month!
