I have 2 prodigal sons. One an atheist and one is trans. My heart breaks for them. This is so encouraging to hear that a parent's prayers are really answered.
May I suggest a book to you written by Ruth Bell Graham (wife of Billy Graham) entitled “Prodigals and Those Who Love Them.” Both of her sons were prodigals too. She has such wisdom. You can also watch some of her interviews on TH-cam.
I lived as a prodigal for many years. Christ brought me out of the gay lifestyle 12 years ago. I grew up in the church, gave my heart to the Lord when I was 5, went to a Christian school. I was an alcoholic, drug addicted, porn addict, random hookups with guys. God showed me nothing but love, forgiveness and restoration.
What a beautiful testimony! Thank you Becket for sharing your story! The prodigal in family was my dad. At 92 he accepted Christ and he is now 95! God is so faithful!
I was about 34 or 35 when I realized my Dad had been right about so many things…he was gone by then but I remember sitting in church and just bawling. I wish I could have told him that.
Oh I can really relate to this! The same thing happened to me at age 50. I wish I could have told my mother who was long dead that she was right, and I was wrong ...
@@margaretgrossmeyer2435 Don't! There's a reward coming. Btw, it took 20something years for Becket as well, if I remember correctly. God is a rewarder. Please keep going. Much love for you and your family!
I am a little heartbroken, no I’m a lot heartbroken, sad, feeling like I failed my daughter in some way… she came out to me today and told me she’s in a gay relationship etc. I am really struggling with my emotions. of course I will love her till the day I die. But I tried really hard to raise her in a church that preached the gospel, and also tried to live my life as an example the past nine years I’ve been saved. I have not always been Christian, I was out there hard-core living the life, doing everything under the sun. Jesus still saved me…radically. I wish I had known Jesus 20 years ago I have not spent so much of my life being foolish. I just wanted more for her I didn’t want her to be as broken and stomped on as I was when I finally crawled to the cross. I also fear her dying in her sin. But thank God for this channel. I found it tonight. I was crying out for God to help me not drown in despair. Listening to Beckett‘s testimony gave me hope.
Dear Becket, I love your show. Just want you to know that while watching your show, I called my Mom who has not spoken to me in 10 years. She would never pick up my call. So, in time I quit trying. I owed her a big apology. During that time, the Holy Spirit was graciously given to me. My prayer was that she accept my apology. So, I put your video on hold while I called. And she answered! And we spoke for a long time with your face on my giant t.v. screen! It was amazing. She did accept my apology. If you didn't do this video, I wouldn't have called. So, I thank you for your wisdom (passed down from your Dad, I'm sure!) So, thanks. Many many blessings and much peace be with you, L.🌹🌷❤
Thank you for testimony, Becket. We share some similarities of how we lived the "lifestyle," but completely different in others. I love the story of the Prodigal Son; it is probably my favorite parable told by our Lord Jesus. It made me realize that God does understand us, as it shows how completely happy He is when we return back to Him, no matter how undeservingly it may be. I am so happy how the Lord is using you in such a mighty way. God bless you my brother.
My mom had a saying..the wheels of God grind slow but exceedingly fine. God takes our disappointments and makes something beautiful! You are one such example Becket, may He continue to use you as His worthy vessel.
Amazing testimony. Your prodigal journey was not wasted after all, because through this channel you reach so many people. Praise God! I am praying for a loved one, a prodigal, too
You’re right Adri! God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are the called according to His purposes. Romans 8:28 And I believe that includes even our wickedness and rebellion. We are sorry and ashamed of ourselves but grateful that God in His mercy can use even sinners like me/us for His glory. 😊
I'm absolutely emotional as I sit here watching this. God doesn't only use you to speak to the hearts of people from the LGBTQ community but also Christian people who have family members who aren't really sure how to deal with it. My sister came out as bi-sexual last year (we're 4 children and she's the youngest, I'm the oldest) and it devastated me and my mother. I was actually only born again last year after her coming out, so my weird pseudo-Christianity didn't help me much when I tried to talk to her. I've been struggling with questions like "How do I handle this?" and "How do I speak to her?" I literally went from "I feel guilty" to "I need to control this" to "I don't know what to do" to "I'm just going to pray for her and trust Jesus". It's been a roller coaster of a year, but I keep seeing God's Hand in things, every day. I only came across your channel a couple of weeks ago and you're honestly like a hot cup of tea on a chilly morning (more than that). I thank God for sending your channel on my way, because there is so much comfort and hope in what you say and I'm learning A LOT. I pray and cry over the day when me and my sister can FINALLY be reconciled in Jesus Christ, because our relationship has just flat lined since last year and it's not fun at all, to say the least. My hopes and prayers revolve around a scenario like the one you've lived through.
Its really us children of God He is dealing with..remember His goal is that we are honed in the image of Jesus..be thankful dHoly Spirit opened your eyes and now you will be rhe channel of blessing for your family through prayer, and the fruit of d Spirit..nd find comfort and unlimited hope from scripture, brethren, preaching and our gentle loving compassionate God through Christ..remember they( d Triune God) are on our side, nd His timing is perfect..press on sister..i have been a chrisyian 38 yrs nd not one in my family is converted except a last 2 minute convertion of my brother who passed in 1989 nd a deathbed convertion of my dad in 1984.. Psalm 33:17-22..be praying for you sister
@@brownandwhite128 Thank you so much Gilda. I don’t think you understand how much hope and patience that gives me. I’ve really had to learn that things happen within God’s will and time, so no how matter much I fret, it’s not going to change the reality that I’m supposed to be waiting on and serving God. Not the other way around. It’s a relief to have people who understand.
I just want to say I was moved by what you had to say. You have the heart and honesty that God will use greatly. It's easy to tell that God is doing great things with you. I know your sister will come to Jesus and you guys will be restored. It's easy to forget how powerful prayer is. We want to do things on her own power. There's nothing more powerful than a sincere heart crying out to God . I too am hooked on Beckett. I've never struggled with homosexuality but everything he says relates to all of us. I hope he knows how powerful his videos are two people. I just want to say that you're very articulate and you write very well. A lot of people will see this and will relate to it. God bless you.
@@curiousdear As a Christian mom raising 4 teenagers in this crazy world only God can give me hope. No one but God can save our wretched heart and like you I believe he uses all things to transform us. It's a painful road but a redeeming one for us and them. Keep turning to Jesus, trusting him and praying for yourself and sister. God is good and faithful! ❤
It’s a wonderful thing to come to a point where you can look at your parents and say that they were right. I’m thankful when they told me my influences were bad and I struggled with that but ultimately listened and I am so thankful for that.
@@cherylthomas2459 and Lisa, me too ... 2 of my 5 daughters are estranged from us. I found the book Done With the Crying by Sheri McGregor helpful, and The Reconnection Club podcasts by Dr Tina Gilbertson. Praying for you too
Becket! I wait anxiously every week to hear you. You’ve no idea what a joy it is to hear you because you are such a yielded vessel to the Lord. My youngest son is 35 and an alcoholic and though he has had an experience with Jesus, he just can’t (at this moment) get out of this cycle. But you encourage me so much to remember the promises of God. Don’t regret (too much 😘) your past. Your testimony brings glory to God and is a fulfillment of Romans 8:28.
I was 39 when the Lord brought me out of the gay lifestyle, alcoholism, porn, etc. That was 12 years ago. I grew up in the church but rebelled. I was very addicted to everything. My alcoholism was very bad and I’m so thankful that I don’t have any medical issues because of it. God is able. God bless!
I pray that someday I can say of my siblings "we all believe the same thing". It's hard sometimes not the get discouraged, and I struggle a lot with even praying for one of them because I was very deeply injured by him throughout my childhood. If anyone is reading this, please pray for my heart to be more tender and more in line with God's desire for ALL to believe, even those that have caused deep and last harm.
I'm with you. Praying for my parents to be the prodigals coming home or saved for the first time. One of them is extremely hurtful and I struggle to hold my tongue and not snap back. It is amazing that Becket's family is all believers. That is rare! There's usually someone in the immediate family who is not a believer. I wasn't assured of my salvation until a year ago because I was a false convert, a seeker, or just really really immature. :-)
Keep praying, you are the Priest in your family. You have received the garment of honor and dignity so that you can stand before the Lord on their behalf. No discouragement. PRAY! that's what you were called out for.
They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you and your household will be saved.” Acts 16:31 The Faithless are rewarded with their faithlessness. The Faithful rewarded with theirs. Proverbs 14:14 Let's stand on these truths. That God will give us the Faith for their salvation 💖 From, through Jesus and by Him (Holy Trinity)
I love your video’s . I’m a Christ follower . However, my politics line up with liberalism . At least I’m terms of liberal tenants . Maybe not necessarily what is happening in the far left . But I believe that far right tenants are far worse and more divisive. I’m struggling with being around Christian’s who adopt trumpism . Evangelicals love him . I can’t be around that. Please pray for me that I could be restored to a church family that I can respect .
@@katmother I think you meant this comment for Becket, but I'm gonna answer you from me about Christians and the whole Trumpism. The best thing a Christian can do is focus on Christ. People will let you down because we're still imperfect. I voted for Trump because I couldn't vote for someone who supports abortion. There are things that I like about him and they're are things I don't. But my faith was never in Trump, I serve only Christ.
@@hetty805 thanks for responding. I did make an error in addressing my question. But I appreciate your thoughtful response. It makes sense but I still take issue with people who stand for the truth ( Christ followers) being silent and even voting for someone like Trump . He was toxic and completely unAmerican . Yet evangelicals are 🤐 zip lipped about his lies his divisiveness his causing an insurrection . It’s not that I’m looking to other people . I know what I believe . I just can’t relate to people who support Trump and yet they are evangelicals . Believe me it would be so much easier for me if I could .
@@katmother you have every right to feel as you do and I think you should share it and it's okay when people don't agree. Personally I don't jump on bandwagons and lose my self and pledge my loyalty. Typically when it comes to voting it's rarely between two awesome candidates where it's too hard to choose. It's usually "who will screw us over least" for me. I've had my share of issues with churches I've been to, I grew up in one where the pastor preached all about the women's responsibility but not the man's. He was the problem not the Bible. I pray you find what you need and have good friends who can share what you're going through.
Lol! I am praying every day for my son. I love the “remember when I was gay and a liberal?” It’s such a joyous relief to hear you make a joke about it.
Hello thank you so much for this post. My daughter is in a lesbian relationship, and just as you said we have been watching her rebel for so long. We love her so much and are praying for her eyes to be open to God’s truth. So many things you said hit home with me. Thank you for testimony, it gives me hope that my daughter will one day find her way.
Hi Beckett I'm from Scotland and so happy I've came across your stories and witness for our dear Lord, I find so much useful advice for my own family and circumstances I praise the Lord for you. God bless you 🙏 I love to tell people too I'm a baby toddler Christian 18 months and full of joy
Becket…thank you for sharing your story & your information has been very helpful to me! We have 4 young adult daughters that are in the “prodigal life” but 3 say that they still believe in Jesus & that homosexuality is okay with God’s word the 4th has left her faith. They were all raised to know the Truth from the Word of God but they have chosen to follow a secular world view. We continue to pray for them every day. We struggle to have a relationship with them because our views are so different & they don’t want to talk about faith. I am grateful that I found your TH-cam channel & have been listening to your messages. Thank you for speaking the Truth! ✝️❤️
I am a little heartbroken, no I’m a lot heartbroken, sad, feeling like I failed my daughter in some way… she came out to me today and told me she’s in a gay relationship etc. I am really struggling with my emotions. of course I will love her till the day I die. But I tried really hard to raise her in a church that preached the gospel, and also tried to live my life as an example after being saved nine years ago. Before that, I was out there hard-core living the life, doing everything under the sun. So I get it. And Jesus still saved me…radically. I wish I had known Jesus 20 years ago and had not wasted so much of my life being foolish. I just wanted more for her. I didn’t want her to be as broken and stomped on as I was when I finally crawled to the cross. I also fear her dying in her sin. But Thank God for this channel. Hearing Beckett‘s testimony gave me hope. ♥️
I came upon your testimony a year or so ago and I just loved how you so willingly gave up what the flesh wants in order to have Jesus and felt like "the luckiest guy in the world" in doing so. That's what we all need to hear...that Jesus is so worth it and better than anything else we could be wanting. Thanks so much for showcasing Jesus so beautifully
“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.” Genesis 50:20 ESV
Honestly...I've been coming here to watch becket's shows (because they are so amazing, insightful, and encouraging) and to look out for YOUR comment. I read how Becket has impacted your life which is a testimony of God's faithfulness and every time you comment, I praise God for you once more! Nice to see you here once again Daniel.
@@jessicareid3001 wow thank you! Yes Becket has had a positive influence in my life for sure and I’m sure he has for other people. Hopefully I can do the same one day
Listening to you talk about telling your family and praying over your Dad had me emotional. What a beautiful moment. I pray I can experience that with my unsaved loved ones.
Everytime I watch I am blessed - thank you Becket for this show and for your ministry - it’s helping all of us be better at reaching others for Jesus who walk different lifestyles - your boldness and courage gives us boldness and courage to speak truth in love - keep this going
Another learning lesson for me . My Mom is 90 and things have been rough lately after her and I being so close in the past. Dementia has made her one mean cookie towards me. When you quoted the verse about not hating your parents when they get old really spoke to me, thanks!!!!
Shannon, When my mothercwas still alive, I struggled with that. What helped me immensely was the realization that I needed to forgive. I took the time to do that, while in prayer. Unforgiveness can and does harden hearts. After I did that, and continued to forgive, I saw her in a new light. And, she got saved just a fee days before a stroke took her Home. Blessings as God works through this time with you.
I was raised in a Christian home. I have lived through a lot of prodigal behavior while trying to raise a family of my own. Becket Cook shares a powerful message of redemption. What he said gives me hope. Thank you to Becket and his faithful supporters. More importantly, thank God for the gift of Becket and his impactful testimony.
I have not heard the first part of your testimony and I must say it is amazing! What a loving family you have, what precious parents. You were highly blessed Becket👍🙏❤️
Thanking God for your life. I continue to lift up my son and others to the Lord Jesus. This is really a spiritual battle, we need to fight for our sons and daughters on our knees. There is always hope in Jesus Christ.
I like how you said "do you remember when I used to be gay and liberal" and they laughed It's just crazy how much love and joy God brings and not even the thought of that time when we're lost can steal that joy. Praise be to God.
Well said and Amen! And yes, I thought that was so funny, too. What a sweet moment, I probably would have laughed until I cried tears of joy, how beautiful! Praise Jesus!
It's not where you start, it's where you end. Gods mercy and grace is amazing. Praying daily for our prodigal son. God is so good.🙏 God bless you Becket....
The beauty is that now your testimony inspires so many! Amazing how God can turn something as ugly as sin into something as beautiful as redemption. And He doesn’t just stop there, He uses that to equip us to do His work. Our God is an awesome God!! Thank you for sharing another amazing video! 🙌🏼❤️✝️
I grew up in a Christian home. It took me until age 27 to come back to Christ myself. It’s only been a year and it’s been a year of spiritual highs and lows. I wish I would’ve listened and honored my parents more but I’m glad to be where I am now.
Thank you, Becket, for sharing your story. It brought me to tears. 😭 It gave me hope for my kids and for my family's & friends' children. GOD is amazing!
I love to listen to your testimony because it confirms to me God’s amazing and long suffering love for mankind. I always share them on so others may know our awesome God and His mercy. You are victorious in Jesus 🙌🏼.
Your spirit is so sweet. Your parents went home to God so happy that all their children were redeemed, and they await all of y’all arriving in Heaven one day. A big family reunion!
Thank you for sharing your life so transparently. May God abundantly bless you. Sometimes I get discouraged, but your testimony encourages my faith as I pray for the prodigals in my life. ❤️🙏🏻❤️
My son isn’t gay but he is rebellious and you give me hope. I love your boldness and I will share this with those who have kids that are in the lifestyle.
4-30 in the morning can’t sleep Becket which is very unusual. Just listened to this, Absolutely wonderful for you and your dear mum and Dad and family, and of course yourself. Every blessing. To God be the Glory great things he has done
Heartbreakingly great! Oh Beck, this pleases me so much. My father died in 2015 and I think he knew the Lord. My mom is still alive at 85 and has no relationship with Jesus. I have a continual prayer for her salvation.
Beautiful, I'm happy for you and also for your family. i am the only one in my family born again i think the day all my family come to faith will be the best day of my life here
Thanks for sharing. I am in the opposite situation, my family follow a different religion and I am the only one following Christ. It must be so great to share your life with Jesus with your family x
Such great wisdom from the Lord. It encourages me to intercede more for my family. I have the opposite of you as I am the only Christian out of eight children in my family. God is greater and He hears our prayers!
But if you had not gone through all that, how could you appreciate where you are now. Regret sin, but not the grace upon grace God showed you through your sin. I have a similar story, but I would not change a thing as I would not be the man of God I am today unless I had been brought out of my sin by God and his loving grace. Paul would agree I think, that he would not change his life as his conversion would not have been as miraculous/amazing without his life of sin. Great video, and God bless you for sharing!
I agree & wonder if Becket's joy for the Lord would be as strong, or his family's joy even, if he did not know that which he was brought out of & saved from
The power of unconditional love, that is structured and evidenced in the family united in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. Your testimony again confirms that Satan plan is to steal, kill and destroy. But Jesus gives abundant life, and the peace that the world cannot give. Let His WORD wisdom and grace continue to be that safe place in your life.
Such a lovely testimony. So moving. Praise God! I wonder how common it is when you're older to think back and regret not listening to your parents!! I know I certainly do!
Beckett , this is such a beautifully sweet story. Thank you for telling it. Praying for a story like this in our family. The Lord loves the lost prodigal child so much and does not give up on them until the moment of death. Repentance is always an option with Jesus. I’m clinging to this truth as I morn this season in my son’s life and this painful story in our family’s life.
So thankful that God answered your parents prayers and saved you! You are a brave and smart man and I just enjoy you so much. Many blessings, to my Brother in Christ. 💜🙏🏻
Becket, I absolutely love how you talk to us in these videos. So down to earth transparent and like hearing a friend with wisdom and experience talk to you. I honestly thank our Father in heaven for your life and obedience to God. It’s a big blessing
This brought a tear to my eye. I am praying for my family. My young grandson was baptized at 11 but now says he doesn't believe in God at 19. Many other issues similar to your own in other people I love, but I'm believing for miracles! I love the way you love your family. God bless you. Thank you for encouraging others.
At the time, you may have been the only one in your family that wasn't a Christian, but now your word and example reach far more lost souls. Thank you for sharing your story - God has a plan always.
You are an encouragement to me. Found your story after my daughter came out as transgender and asexual. Your story is beautiful and gives such hope. Thank you.
My Sweet, kind, caring son came out to me his mom 2 years ago. I cry & pray. Cry & Pray! The other sad part is my husband isn’t a believer. He doesn’t mind his son being gay. We haven’t had a deep conversation about it. He side of the family doesn’t mind either. My sister-in-law ( Who I also haven’t spoke about it) asked me if he’s still dating the same guy. She told me he deserves to be happy. I said nothing.💔 I think of your mom Becket, how she loved & prayed through. Please pray for my Jack.
Your story is similar to mine only mine was drug addiction. Becket for years I regretted my past but not anymore. I've been through so much, I ended up married to a Lebanese had 4 children and now I have 8 little grandchildren with 4 having indigenous blood, I'm in Australia. Do you know because of all my life experiences I can witness to multiple people who can't call me racist. I have a gay nephew and we both adore eachother, I don't get called a bigot. The Lord has heaped all my regrets together and from all of them he's reaping a harvest. So don't regret, but walk on and reap a harvest. God bless you ❤🙏
Hie Becket i am in Japan so i see your show on a friday and i wait for your shows...in my Bible study on wednesday we studied the passage on the prodigal son and we talked about our prodigal moments and i was also deeply lost in sexual sin for six years but God delivered me in such a final way, now i am a prodigal daughter back in her father's arms ...i really appreciate you, God bless
@@upsidedownkingdom5263 No...the ones that are there are mostly foreigners...there are not many Christians amongst Japanese people, they are quite a closed society but evangelism is happening
@@heaven9378 Thanks, my daughter is really into anime and Japanese music at the moment, and I noticed a lot of it is pretty dark. So lately I have had the Japanese on my heart to pray. Praise God there are awesome Christians like you going there, with the Light of Christ inside you, and that you are staying in fellowship with other believers. Bless you!!
How beautiful the way Christ has redeemed the years the locusts had eaten! Praising Him for your fabulous, faithful family. Nothing is impossible with God.
Thanks for making me cry! Your testimony is a blessing. I pray one day I will see my daughter come to know Jesus( she says she does). She is in the lifestyle and sinking deeper. She recently basically said what you said about us...that we don’t know what we are talking about.

@ LION OF FIRE MINISTRIES That is such an AWESOME word! Amen!
THIS! ^
I love that saying! So true.
Great!!!
I’m praying this for my gay sister! Love this. 4/30/23
I have 2 prodigal sons. One an atheist and one is trans. My heart breaks for them. This is so encouraging to hear that a parent's prayers are really answered.
God be with you and give you strength to show them love.
This must be challenging for you. Keep praying Pattie, God hears us!
You bet they are! I’ll pray too!🙏🏻
May I suggest a book to you written by Ruth Bell Graham (wife of Billy Graham) entitled “Prodigals and Those Who Love Them.” Both of her sons were prodigals too. She has such wisdom. You can also watch some of her interviews on TH-cam.
@Pattie Dortch Don’t stop…Never give up!!
I lived as a prodigal for many years. Christ brought me out of the gay lifestyle 12 years ago. I grew up in the church, gave my heart to the Lord when I was 5, went to a Christian school. I was an alcoholic, drug addicted, porn addict, random hookups with guys. God showed me nothing but love, forgiveness and restoration.
God is so good!
Praise God for sharing that! Crying tears of joy!
Praise God for your life, His mercy and Love!
What a mighty God we serve!
That is an inspiration! God be praised ❤️
What a beautiful testimony! Thank you Becket for sharing your story! The prodigal in family was my dad. At 92 he accepted Christ and he is now 95! God is so faithful!
I was about 34 or 35 when I realized my Dad had been right about so many things…he was gone by then but I remember sitting in church and just bawling. I wish I could have told him that.
Oh I can really relate to this! The same thing happened to me at age 50. I wish I could have told my mother who was long dead that she was right, and I was wrong ...
Parents who believe in Jesus, who are filled with the Holy Spirit and pray for you - they literally are the biggest blessing for their children. ❤️
If it wasn’t for my mom praying for me my life would’ve been a disaster.
I am losing steam. It's been 20 years.
@@margaretgrossmeyer2435 Don't! There's a reward coming. Btw, it took 20something years for Becket as well, if I remember correctly. God is a rewarder. Please keep going. Much love for you and your family!

Dear Becket,
I love your show.
Just want you to know that while watching your show, I called my Mom who has not spoken to me in 10 years. She would never pick up my call. So, in time I quit trying. I owed her a big apology. During that time, the Holy Spirit was graciously given to me. My prayer was that she accept my apology.
So, I put your video on hold while I called. And she answered! And we spoke for a long time with your face on my giant t.v. screen! It was amazing.
She did accept my apology. If you didn't do this video, I wouldn't have called. So, I thank you for your wisdom (passed down from your Dad, I'm sure!) So, thanks. Many many blessings and much peace be with you, L.🌹🌷❤
That's brilliant 👍
Praise the Lord!!! Look how God is using Beckett!!!! 🙌🙌🙌 God is so amazing!!! Tku, Beckett, for obeying!
@@tstieber Thank you.
That’s an awesome testimony.
Awesome 👌
Always a good day when Becket posts.
Yesss
I feel the same way. I get excited when I see the thumbnail.
Agreed
THIS.
I couldn't have put it better myself.
Thank you for testimony, Becket. We share some similarities of how we lived the "lifestyle," but completely different in others. I love the story of the Prodigal Son; it is probably my favorite parable told by our Lord Jesus. It made me realize that God does understand us, as it shows how completely happy He is when we return back to Him, no matter how undeservingly it may be. I am so happy how the Lord is using you in such a mighty way. God bless you my brother.
I was a prodigal once too. I'm so grateful that God loves us so much to take us back without condemning us.
what a beautiful family you have, sound like true Christians...they probably prayed for you the whole time.
I thought that too!
My mom had a saying..the wheels of God grind slow but exceedingly fine. God takes our disappointments and makes something beautiful! You are one such example Becket, may He continue to use you as His worthy vessel.
Amazing testimony. Your prodigal journey was not wasted after all, because through this channel you reach so many people. Praise God! I am praying for a loved one, a prodigal, too
Same here...
I just prayed for your loved one too.
Praying too!
Amen, thank God for hearing and answering our prayers
You’re right Adri! God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are the called according to His purposes. Romans 8:28 And I believe that includes even our wickedness and rebellion. We are sorry and ashamed of ourselves but grateful that God in His mercy can use even sinners like me/us for His glory. 😊
Really touched to hear your story of you meeting with your Dad and how you prayed for him and how he was touched by it!🙌🙌
I'm absolutely emotional as I sit here watching this. God doesn't only use you to speak to the hearts of people from the LGBTQ community but also Christian people who have family members who aren't really sure how to deal with it. My sister came out as bi-sexual last year (we're 4 children and she's the youngest, I'm the oldest) and it devastated me and my mother. I was actually only born again last year after her coming out, so my weird pseudo-Christianity didn't help me much when I tried to talk to her. I've been struggling with questions like "How do I handle this?" and "How do I speak to her?" I literally went from "I feel guilty" to "I need to control this" to "I don't know what to do" to "I'm just going to pray for her and trust Jesus". It's been a roller coaster of a year, but I keep seeing God's Hand in things, every day. I only came across your channel a couple of weeks ago and you're honestly like a hot cup of tea on a chilly morning (more than that). I thank God for sending your channel on my way, because there is so much comfort and hope in what you say and I'm learning A LOT. I pray and cry over the day when me and my sister can FINALLY be reconciled in Jesus Christ, because our relationship has just flat lined since last year and it's not fun at all, to say the least. My hopes and prayers revolve around a scenario like the one you've lived through.
Thanks for sharing! Oh how e we'll see the Lord work in your life and your sister's.
Its really us children of God He is dealing with..remember His goal is that we are honed in the image of Jesus..be thankful dHoly Spirit opened your eyes and now you will be rhe channel of blessing for your family through prayer, and the fruit of d Spirit..nd find comfort and unlimited hope from scripture, brethren, preaching and our gentle loving compassionate God through Christ..remember they( d Triune God) are on our side, nd His timing is perfect..press on sister..i have been a chrisyian 38 yrs nd not one in my family is converted except a last 2 minute convertion of my brother who passed in 1989 nd a deathbed convertion of my dad in 1984..
Psalm 33:17-22..be praying for you sister
@@brownandwhite128 Thank you so much Gilda. I don’t think you understand how much hope and patience that gives me. I’ve really had to learn that things happen within God’s will and time, so no how matter much I fret, it’s not going to change the reality that I’m supposed to be waiting on and serving God. Not the other way around. It’s a relief to have people who understand.
I just want to say I was moved by what you had to say. You have the heart and honesty that God will use greatly. It's easy to tell that God is doing great things with you. I know your sister will come to Jesus and you guys will be restored. It's easy to forget how powerful prayer is. We want to do things on her own power. There's nothing more powerful than a sincere heart crying out to God .
I too am hooked on Beckett. I've never struggled with homosexuality but everything he says relates to all of us. I hope he knows how powerful his videos are two people.
I just want to say that you're very articulate and you write very well. A lot of people will see this and will relate to it. God bless you.
@@curiousdear As a Christian mom raising 4 teenagers in this crazy world only God can give me hope. No one but God can save our wretched heart and like you I believe he uses all things to transform us. It's a painful road but a redeeming one for us and them. Keep turning to Jesus, trusting him and praying for yourself and sister. God is good and faithful! ❤
Sending this to my homosexual brother-in-law… Pray it reaches his heart! Shalom from Florida 🪔
As a parent, praying for our son every day, this is so encouraging.
It’s a wonderful thing to come to a point where you can look at your parents and say that they were right.
I’m thankful when they told me my influences were bad and I struggled with that but ultimately listened and I am so thankful for that.
HI Becket & All, 👋
As a mother of 4 estranged adult children, I appreciate this so much. It gives me hope.
I too am estranged from 3 out of 4 adult children. My heart breaks for you. I will pray for you. God sees us and hears our prayers!🙏🏻♥️
@@lisalu46 thanks so much. It's hard to even talk about this because I am so misunderstood. I will also pray for you
@@cherylthomas2459 and Lisa, me too ... 2 of my 5 daughters are estranged from us. I found the book Done With the Crying by Sheri McGregor helpful, and The Reconnection Club podcasts by Dr Tina Gilbertson. Praying for you too
Cheryl I pray for you. I know it hurts
@@ninfadixon7171 thank you
Becket! I wait anxiously every week to hear you. You’ve no idea what a joy it is to hear you because you are such a yielded vessel to the Lord. My youngest son is 35 and an alcoholic and though he has had an experience with Jesus, he just can’t (at this moment) get out of this cycle. But you encourage me so much to remember the promises of God. Don’t regret (too much 😘) your past. Your testimony brings glory to God and is a fulfillment of Romans 8:28.
🙏💗
I was 39 when the Lord brought me out of the gay lifestyle, alcoholism, porn, etc. That was 12 years ago. I grew up in the church but rebelled. I was very addicted to everything. My alcoholism was very bad and I’m so thankful that I don’t have any medical issues because of it. God is able. God bless!
@M C thanks, you too!
@@dionfeist5226 God has delivered me from alcoholism too
Thank you, Lord Jesus 🙏
Gramingo - God delivered me. If you’d like a brother to pray with. Please contact me?
Love you Becket. And love how you turned and gave your life to Christ
I pray that someday I can say of my siblings "we all believe the same thing".
It's hard sometimes not the get discouraged, and I struggle a lot with even praying for one of them because I was very deeply injured by him throughout my childhood.
If anyone is reading this, please pray for my heart to be more tender and more in line with God's desire for ALL to believe, even those that have caused deep and last harm.
Praying for you. I have two brothers who have walked away from Christianity after being raised in a Christian home and I know it really is hard.
@@rebekahsmith6501 thank you ♥️
I'm with you. Praying for my parents to be the prodigals coming home or saved for the first time. One of them is extremely hurtful and I struggle to hold my tongue and not snap back. It is amazing that Becket's family is all believers. That is rare! There's usually someone in the immediate family who is not a believer. I wasn't assured of my salvation until a year ago because I was a false convert, a seeker, or just really really immature. :-)
Keep praying, you are the Priest in your family. You have received the garment of honor and dignity so that you can stand before the Lord on their behalf. No discouragement. PRAY! that's what you were called out for.
They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you and your household will be saved.” Acts 16:31
The Faithless are rewarded with their faithlessness. The Faithful rewarded with theirs.
Proverbs 14:14
Let's stand on these truths. That God will give us the Faith for their salvation 💖 From, through Jesus and by Him (Holy Trinity)
I'm so happy for you that you became a believer and returned to your family. So many families are waiting for this moment.
I love your video’s . I’m a Christ follower . However, my politics line up with liberalism . At least I’m terms of liberal tenants . Maybe not necessarily what is happening in the far left . But I believe that far right tenants are far worse and more divisive. I’m struggling with being around Christian’s who adopt trumpism . Evangelicals love him . I can’t be around that. Please pray for me that I could be restored to a church family that I can respect .
@@katmother I think you meant this comment for Becket, but I'm gonna answer you from me about Christians and the whole Trumpism. The best thing a Christian can do is focus on Christ. People will let you down because we're still imperfect. I voted for Trump because I couldn't vote for someone who supports abortion. There are things that I like about him and they're are things I don't. But my faith was never in Trump, I serve only Christ.
@@hetty805 thanks for responding. I did make an error in addressing my question. But I appreciate your thoughtful response. It makes sense but I still take issue with people who stand for the truth ( Christ followers) being silent and even voting for someone like Trump . He was toxic and completely unAmerican . Yet evangelicals are 🤐 zip lipped about his lies his divisiveness his causing an insurrection . It’s not that I’m looking to other people . I know what I believe . I just can’t relate to people who support Trump and yet they are evangelicals . Believe me it would be so much easier for me if I could .
@@katmother you have every right to feel as you do and I think you should share it and it's okay when people don't agree. Personally I don't jump on bandwagons and lose my self and pledge my loyalty. Typically when it comes to voting it's rarely between two awesome candidates where it's too hard to choose. It's usually "who will screw us over least" for me. I've had my share of issues with churches I've been to, I grew up in one where the pastor preached all about the women's responsibility but not the man's. He was the problem not the Bible. I pray you find what you need and have good friends who can share what you're going through.
Hate speech is different from speech that you hate!
Indeed it is. Never heard this going to use it. Will credit you
Lion of fire minitries
Lol! I am praying every day for my son. I love the “remember when I was gay and a liberal?” It’s such a joyous relief to hear you make a joke about it.
Hello thank you so much for this post. My daughter is in a lesbian relationship, and just as you said we have been watching her rebel for so long. We love her so much and are praying for her eyes to be open to God’s truth. So many things you said hit home with me. Thank you for testimony, it gives me hope that my daughter will one day find her way.
Amen!!
Yes! My daughter too. Praying every day she returns to the Lord and His Truth.
Hi Beckett I'm from Scotland and so happy I've came across your stories and witness for our dear Lord, I find so much useful advice for my own family and circumstances I praise the Lord for you. God bless you 🙏 I love to tell people too I'm a baby toddler Christian 18 months and full of joy
Wonderful Rosa! Great!
That is awesome Rosa! Praise God!
Praise God Rosa! I'm in England...
I am from Scotland i so glad i came across your show I have gay it has help me so much thanks
May God continue to bless you and keep you for his glory. You were raised up for such a time as this. In Yeshua’s name I pray…Amein

Restoration!
Becket…thank you for sharing your story & your information has been very helpful to me! We have 4 young adult daughters that are in the “prodigal life” but 3 say that they still believe in Jesus & that homosexuality is okay with God’s word the 4th has left her faith. They were all raised to know the Truth from the Word of God but they have chosen to follow a secular world view. We continue to pray for them every day. We struggle to have a relationship with them because our views are so different & they don’t want to talk about faith. I am grateful that I found your TH-cam channel & have been listening to your messages. Thank you for speaking the Truth! ✝️❤️
Very happy to call you my brother in Jesus Christ!! We'll meet someday. ❤
I am a little heartbroken, no I’m a lot heartbroken, sad, feeling like I failed my daughter in some way… she came out to me today and told me she’s in a gay relationship etc. I am really struggling with my emotions. of course I will love her till the day I die. But I tried really hard to raise her in a church that preached the gospel, and also tried to live my life as an example after being saved nine years ago. Before that, I was out there hard-core living the life, doing everything under the sun. So I get it. And Jesus still saved me…radically. I wish I had known Jesus 20 years ago and had not wasted so much of my life being foolish. I just wanted more for her. I didn’t want her to be as broken and stomped on as I was when I finally crawled to the cross. I also fear her dying in her sin.
But Thank God for this channel. Hearing Beckett‘s testimony gave me hope. ♥️
It is always so encouraging to hear redemption stories... they never get old and they always renew our spirits... I will never get tired of this..!!
I came upon your testimony a year or so ago and I just loved how you so willingly gave up what the flesh wants in order to have Jesus and felt like "the luckiest guy in the world" in doing so. That's what we all need to hear...that Jesus is so worth it and better than anything else we could be wanting. Thanks so much for showcasing Jesus so beautifully
Ok....now you need to have your siblings on your show. We HAVE to meet them now!!! :):)
Yes!
“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.”
Genesis 50:20 ESV
I love that verse and the story of Joseph!
@@tennesseeminnissi2445 me too!
This testimony is heart warming.
Wanted to suggest you search and read a short article called;
Look What's Missing even in Revelation.
Honestly...I've been coming here to watch becket's shows (because they are so amazing, insightful, and encouraging) and to look out for YOUR comment. I read how Becket has impacted your life which is a testimony of God's faithfulness and every time you comment, I praise God for you once more! Nice to see you here once again Daniel.
@@jessicareid3001 wow thank you! Yes Becket has had a positive influence in my life for sure and I’m sure he has for other people. Hopefully I can do the same one day
YAY! It's THURSDAY!! Beckett is on TH-cam!!
I was a prodigal!!!! Praise God I'm not like I used to be.. He has restored.. I love you so much.. this was so great to listen to before work!!!!
It’s a blessing to have Believers in your family pray for you n rejoice with you when you come to Christ ✝️🙌🏽
So glad you had a Godly and wise family!
I just never tire of hearing your story!♥️♥️🙌🏻🙌🏻
Listening to you talk about telling your family and praying over your Dad had me emotional. What a beautiful moment. I pray I can experience that with my unsaved loved ones.
God bless you Becket. Your Mom and Dad waiting!
Everytime I watch I am blessed - thank you Becket for this show and for your ministry - it’s helping all of us be better at reaching others for Jesus who walk different lifestyles - your boldness and courage gives us boldness and courage to speak truth in love - keep this going
My Lord is so mercifull and wonderfull! 🙌🏻
And this is so encouraging! ❤️🔥
I will never stop praying for my brother.
There is nothing better to a parent than hearing your child surrendered to the Lord🙏💜
A family filled with Holy Spirit is the best wish that any Christian can ever wish for.
Another learning lesson for me . My Mom is 90 and things have been rough lately after her and I being so close in the past. Dementia has made her one mean cookie towards me. When you quoted the verse about not hating your parents when they get old really spoke to me, thanks!!!!
That’s so hard Shannon. May God bless you & be with you through this time 🙏🏻❤️
Same here. God says we must honor our mother in her old age. I am convicted.
Shannon,
When my mothercwas still alive, I struggled with that. What helped me immensely was the realization that I needed to forgive.
I took the time to do that, while in prayer. Unforgiveness can and does harden hearts.
After I did that, and continued to forgive, I saw her in a new light.
And, she got saved just a fee days before a stroke took her Home.
Blessings as God works through this time with you.
@@judyswiderski2682 Wow! That is wonderful!
🙏🙏🙏
I was raised in a Christian home. I have lived through a lot of prodigal behavior while trying to raise a family of my own. Becket Cook shares a powerful message of redemption. What he said gives me hope. Thank you to Becket and his faithful supporters. More importantly, thank God for the gift of Becket and his impactful testimony.
I have not heard the first part of your testimony and I must say it is amazing! What a loving family you have, what precious parents. You were highly blessed Becket👍🙏❤️
Thanking God for your life. I continue to lift up my son and others to the Lord Jesus. This is really a spiritual battle, we need to fight for our sons and daughters on our knees. There is always hope in Jesus Christ.
Man, I benefit so much from hearing from Becket. So grateful for his work, and his clarifying voice concerning the Gospel.
I like how you said "do you remember when I used to be gay and liberal" and they laughed
It's just crazy how much love and joy God brings and not even the thought of that time when we're lost can steal that joy.
Praise be to God.
Well said and Amen! And yes, I thought that was so funny, too. What a sweet moment, I probably would have laughed until I cried tears of joy, how beautiful! Praise Jesus!
It's not where you start, it's where you end. Gods mercy and grace is amazing. Praying daily for our prodigal son. God is so good.🙏 God bless you Becket....
The beauty is that now your testimony inspires so many! Amazing how God can turn something as ugly as sin into something as beautiful as redemption. And He doesn’t just stop there, He uses that to equip us to do His work. Our God is an awesome God!! Thank you for sharing another amazing video! 🙌🏼❤️✝️
Amen! All the glory to God for his mercy on us!!! 💕
I grew up in a Christian home. It took me until age 27 to come back to Christ myself. It’s only been a year and it’s been a year of spiritual highs and lows. I wish I would’ve listened and honored my parents more but I’m glad to be where I am now.
The story of you praying for your dad!!! What a precious gem.
Thank you, Becket, for sharing your story. It brought me to tears. 😭 It gave me hope for my kids and for my family's & friends' children. GOD is amazing!
:)
I love to listen to your testimony because it confirms to me God’s amazing and long suffering love for mankind. I always share them on so others may know our awesome God and His mercy. You are victorious in Jesus 🙌🏼.
Love your vulnerability...this is what changes hearts and lives! God bless you!
Acts 26 in my daily reading today... Paul and Agripa, darkness and light... what a coincidence ;)
Praise God, for your redemption, reconciliation, & restoration with your earthly family & Heavenly Father! Thank you for sharing!
Amen!! Only God 🙌🏾
Your spirit is so sweet. Your parents went home to God so happy that all their children were redeemed, and they await all of y’all arriving in Heaven one day. A big family reunion!
Thank you for sharing your life so transparently. May God abundantly bless you. Sometimes I get discouraged, but your testimony encourages my faith as I pray for the prodigals in my life. ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Amen🙏🏾💞
My son isn’t gay but he is rebellious and you give me hope. I love your boldness and I will share this with those who have kids that are in the lifestyle.
4-30 in the morning can’t sleep Becket which is very unusual. Just listened to this, Absolutely wonderful for you and your dear mum and Dad and family, and of course yourself. Every blessing. To God be the Glory great things he has done
Heartbreakingly great! Oh Beck, this pleases me so much. My father died in 2015 and I think he knew the Lord. My mom is still alive at 85 and has no relationship with Jesus. I have a continual prayer for her salvation.
I thank God for your life and your transparency. I just love your testimony and you, my brother in Jesus Christ ❤️🙏🙏.
Beautiful, I'm happy for you and also for your family.
i am the only one in my family born again i think the day all my family come to faith will be the best day of my life here
Thanks for sharing. I am in the opposite situation, my family follow a different religion and I am the only one following Christ. It must be so great to share your life with Jesus with your family x
I love testimonies. I continue to pray for my daughter to return to her Heavenly Father. God bless.
Such great wisdom from the Lord. It encourages me to intercede more for my family. I have the opposite of you as I am the only Christian out of eight children in my family. God is greater and He hears our prayers!
I can never get enough of these testimonies. Can you make the next one 1,000 hours long?
But if you had not gone through all that, how could you appreciate where you are now. Regret sin, but not the grace upon grace God showed you through your sin.
I have a similar story, but I would not change a thing as I would not be the man of God I am today unless I had been brought out of my sin by God and his loving grace.
Paul would agree I think, that he would not change his life as his conversion would not have been as miraculous/amazing without his life of sin.
Great video, and God bless you for sharing!
I agree & wonder if Becket's joy for the Lord would be as strong, or his family's joy even, if he did not know that which he was brought out of & saved from
The power of unconditional love, that is structured and evidenced in the family united in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ. Your testimony again confirms that Satan plan is to steal, kill and destroy. But Jesus gives abundant life, and the peace that the world cannot give. Let His WORD wisdom and grace continue to be that safe place in your life.
Such a lovely testimony. So moving. Praise God! I wonder how common it is when you're older to think back and regret not listening to your parents!! I know I certainly do!
2 Timothy 3:1-5 … this is what we see today, isn’t it? Wise words, indeed. Thank God for your testimony and your faithful family.
Beckett , this is such a beautifully sweet story. Thank you for telling it. Praying for a story like this in our family. The Lord loves the lost prodigal child so much and does not give up on them until the moment of death. Repentance is always an option with Jesus. I’m clinging to this truth as I morn this season in my son’s life and this painful story in our family’s life.
Praying
I will pray too because I have someone also!🙏🏻 God is ABSOLUTELY GOOD!
So thankful that God answered your parents prayers and saved you! You are a brave and smart man and I just enjoy you so much. Many blessings, to my Brother in Christ. 💜🙏🏻
Becket, I absolutely love how you talk to us in these videos. So down to earth transparent and like hearing a friend with wisdom and experience talk to you. I honestly thank our Father in heaven for your life and obedience to God. It’s a big blessing
What a beautiful testimony. I was also a prodigal and I'm so thankful for the love and fellowship I now have with my family.
This brought a tear to my eye. I am praying for my family. My young grandson was baptized at 11 but now says he doesn't believe in God at 19. Many other issues similar to your own in other people I love, but I'm believing for miracles! I love the way you love your family. God bless you. Thank you for encouraging others.
At the time, you may have been the only one in your family that wasn't a Christian, but now your word and example reach far more lost souls. Thank you for sharing your story - God has a plan always.
Like I always say when I watch you......Your no lukewarm Christian. You are on fire for the Lord !!!
Dear Becket... You are so so inspiring. Thank you for doing all that you do. God bless.
You are an encouragement to me. Found your story after my daughter came out as transgender and asexual. Your story is beautiful and gives such hope. Thank you.
I have a cousin who grew up in a Christian home with two older sisters. She is a lesbian which is hard on her family. Pray for them please!
Sending a virtual hug 🤗
I just prayed for your cousin. I'm praying for your family also.
Please pray for my nephew
My Sweet, kind, caring son came out to me his mom 2 years ago. I cry & pray. Cry & Pray! The other sad part is my husband isn’t a believer. He doesn’t mind his son being gay. We haven’t had a deep conversation about it. He side of the family doesn’t mind either. My sister-in-law ( Who I also haven’t spoke about it) asked me if he’s still dating the same guy. She told me he deserves to be happy. I said nothing.💔 I think of your mom Becket, how she loved & prayed through. Please pray for my Jack.
My brother is a prodigal. Please keep him in y’all’s prayers.
Your story is similar to mine only mine was drug addiction. Becket for years I regretted my past but not anymore. I've been through so much, I ended up married to a Lebanese had 4 children and now I have 8 little grandchildren with 4 having indigenous blood, I'm in Australia. Do you know because of all my life experiences I can witness to multiple people who can't call me racist. I have a gay nephew and we both adore eachother, I don't get called a bigot. The Lord has heaped all my regrets together and from all of them he's reaping a harvest. So don't regret, but walk on and reap a harvest. God bless you ❤🙏
Hie Becket i am in Japan so i see your show on a friday and i wait for your shows...in my Bible study on wednesday we studied the passage on the prodigal son and we talked about our prodigal moments and i was also deeply lost in sexual sin for six years but God delivered me in such a final way, now i am a prodigal daughter back in her father's arms ...i really appreciate you, God bless
Praise God!! Are there many Christians where you live?
@@upsidedownkingdom5263 No...the ones that are there are mostly foreigners...there are not many Christians amongst Japanese people, they are quite a closed society but evangelism is happening
@@heaven9378 Thanks, my daughter is really into anime and Japanese music at the moment, and I noticed a lot of it is pretty dark. So lately I have had the Japanese on my heart to pray. Praise God there are awesome Christians like you going there, with the Light of Christ inside you, and that you are staying in fellowship with other believers. Bless you!!
@@upsidedownkingdom5263 Thank you for the prayers,they really do need them in Japan
How beautiful the way Christ has redeemed the years the locusts had eaten! Praising Him for your fabulous, faithful family. Nothing is impossible with God.
That’s so beautiful to know that your dads prayer was answered!
Thanks for making me cry! Your testimony is a blessing. I pray one day I will see my daughter come to know Jesus( she says she does). She is in the lifestyle and sinking deeper. She recently basically said what you said about us...that we don’t know what we are talking about.
This is so beautiful, it reminds me to Never give up on prayer. I miss my son so 🥺
The Christian Cooks!! A story with a happy ending. Nothing on this earth matters more than one’s salvation. So glad you’re saved.
Thank you Becket for pouring out your heart and witnessing to the true Gospel of Christ. Your ministry is such a blessing!
