ABOUT BECKET:
Becket Cook was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. He attended Jesuit College Preparatory
School of Dallas. After graduating from Austin College in Texas, Becket moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of writing and acting, finding success in both. He eventually went on to become a production designer working with the top photographers and directors in the world on fashion shoots for magazines such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and for ad campaigns such as Gap, L'Oréal Paris, and Nike.
Finding a new sense of freedom in L.A., Becket also fully engaged in his new life as a gay man. He had a series of many relationships with men throughout the next fifteen years.
In September of 2009, Becket met a stranger at a coffee shop in Silver Lake who invited him to his church in Hollywood called Reality L.A. Becket reluctantly agreed to attend the service. After hearing the sermon that Sunday, Becket was utterly transformed by the gospel and gave his life to Christ. He also knew on that day when God revealed Himself to him that homosexuality was a sin and that he could no longer live that life. Becket was more than happy to count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus his Lord.
Becket spends much of his time in ministry speaking at churches, universities, and conferences helping believers (and non-believers) understand this issue biblically, theologically, culturally, and personally. Balancing grace and truth when teaching on this subject is of primary importance. His goal is to challenge the current cultural narrative about sexuality in general and homosexuality in particular by demonstrating through his personal testimony and biblical truths that, yes, homosexuality is still a sin, and that following Christ is infinitely more satisfying and joyous.
He has lived all over the world in major cities such as Rome, Vienna, and Tokyo.
Becket graduated from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University in 2017 with a Master of Arts in Theology.
Becket’s book, A Change of Affection: A Gay Man’s Incredible Story of Redemption, with a
foreword by Francis Chan, published by Thomas Nelson, released July 30, 2019.

10:57 Becket Cook I find it very odd that you used gay in quotation marks as if it doesn't exist. Christianity obviously teaches that same gender loving people exist. You believe it is a sin and I understand that. Can I ask you a question? Have you ever heard someone say, (when I was a "sinner")
It's almost like you are treating it like a person trying to stay sober from Alcohol. The alcohol is so tempting that you don't even like saying the word.
Same gender loving people isn't like alcohol but I understand your childhood indoctrination have you treating what you know you are like alcohol.
I never heard or seen someone put sinner in quotation marks. Very odd.
? Not sure what you mean? I never thought that anyone who was gay and their own mind could ever be anything but gay in their own mind I am a Christian but I am not liberal in that sense, so I always thought if you’re gay you’re gay that’s how you were born that’s how you are and maybe it’s not what God wants but it’s just a kid the situation, so I don’t know exactly what you mean in your comments, but I think that Becca Cook has gone through some sort of change that he feels is right is godly and that he can live with, and he’s married to a woman. It is his right to say something to do so we have no right to judge him. Either way for that. It is his journey, not our journey, so God bless him either way, and I hope that he’s happy and I hope his family is happy.
As a mom of a grown man who recently decided he is a woman , I’ll pray til my last breath. If he repents before I die, I will rejoice. If not , yet I will put my trust in the Lord God.
The Lord will come through for you. You and you son are in my prayers. God bless you.
Same here. Praying for you and your son.
That's an amazing confession of your faith. I'm struggling to get there as I want God's miracle now.😢
God Bless
Let's join the army of godly moms who will not accept the lies of Satan. We will come boldly to the throne of God where we will find grace to keep believing that He can do exceedingly more than what we can pray and ask. We trust in the Almighty God. There's nothing too difficult for Him. His arm is not short that he can't save, or his ears dull that He can't hear. He is at work in our children even now!!! He's a mighty God. He's pleased to give us good gifts. What's a better gift than a child filled with the Holy Spirit saved by Jesus worshipping the Heavenly Father!!??? We cry out for these lost souls. Give us, Lord, these men! Turn them away from darkness and confusion to sound mind Jesus proclaiming men of God! Oh, God!!! Do it! We paise you and thank you, in Jesus' name. Amen!!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
“I was more concerned for your salvation than whether or not you were gay.” THIS. This Is where real conversion begins !!
When our relationship with God is right everything else comes into alignment. Maybe not right away but it will.

That is how I feel about people. I am most concerned about them getting to know Jesus - he will take care of the rest.
"Fear God more than you fear the rejection of your child." Such a good reminder. Thanks for sharing
I have two lgbt adult children. When she read Beckett’s email it brought tears to my eyes. I’m praying to receive this message one day. Parents, keep praying for your children and take care of yourself. Don’t allow your child’s decisions to run/ruin your life. Stay strong.
Thank you for this message. I needed to hear it.
Praying for you!
Praying for them and for you!
Parents these days have an advantage over a decade ago because the nonsense has been exposed! There's still hope through Christ!
Nothing like a praying mother like my mom. She fasted for me many times over during my life. My mother has incredible stories/testimonies about her days/nights of fasting over me when no one else could get to me. The lord reached me by the devotion of my mother for sure! I was never treated differently when I was in the lifestyle but the destructive choices I made had folks unsure where I’d end up from one day to the next. So that protection of God came from my mother and other Christian’s. One of my friends back in the day told me when I was in the lifestyle, God loved me in my sin but he had so much more for me than the life I was leading. And she was so right! I had no peace, I had no direction and I had no true vision of where my life was going. Years after the conversation I had with my friend, I got saved…AND! For the first time, understood what she meant. Wow! The clarity of my mind and spirit was so renewed and refreshed-years of leading by emotions instead of faith was such an eye opener. Like Becket, I couldn’t get into the Bible AT ALL! After I allowed the Lord to direct my path, the Bible came alive!
Amen! Never stop sharing your testimony ✨️ 🙏 🙌
🙌🏼🕊👑🙏❤️♥️ so beautiful. God is faithful.
Did you know she was praying for you at the time or did you find out later
@@shannonclark7190 always after. She has always said she was/is praying-but when things seemed extremely difficult, she would fast
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony!! It is powerful and glorifies God! I feel the same way!! A life of freedom in Christ is greater than I could have ever imagined!
My Dad was a carpet cleaner. On his van he had painted Acts 26:18 from darkness to light, ( get it? Clean carpets?) On the back doors, Psalms 150 Praise Ye the Lord.
Please pray for my “gay” brother John. I love him so much and really want to see him saved!
Talk about fervent prayer!!! Sis was praying for 14 years (95’ to 09’) for her beloved Brother in Law’s salvation. Such a wonderful testimony to the power of prayer ❤️ 🙏🏾
Like Queen Esther, saints, fight for your life and that of your family. The battle is the Lord’s. Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of this dark world and against spiritual wickedness in high places. God bless you all, dear viewers.
Kim is an amazing woman.
My family and I are currently at 23 years praying for my beloved bil, and at 10 mo. for our beloved daughter, with no end yet in sight. We pray onward, brokenhearted, fully trust God's plan, His will, and His timing!!! 🙏💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❣️✝️❣️
There is a quiet majesty about and within Becket Cook. I'm sure many others have noticed, perhaps consciously, perhaps not. But I enjoy sensing the deep comfort of Holy Spirit in this man and I think we should all pray for the success of his ministry.
God Bless
I feel he's a very deep person, he operates on a lot of different levels. I think he has always felt different not just because of being in same sex but because he's extremely intelligent which is another kind of being odd. He's a genius; really
@@robertbecker7937 I do agree. I know he is also too humble to accept our mutual opinion. That’s because there is an inordinate goodness in this man. I’ll say it forever … what a blessing he is.
Thank you Lord for saving Becket and for his family who were faithful in prayer for him.
The timing of this was wonderful as we are going through the waiting for 5 of our 9 adult kids (2 gay) to come back to Jesus. Thank you Kim and Becket for sharing such an encouraging message!
God Bless
🙏♥️♥️🙏 so wonderful that you have so many kids in today's times...keep praying for those two..or 5.saying a prayer also
God is able to do exceedingly above what we can think or ask. Keep believing, keep praying! 🙏
Rebecca I am waiting with you and agreeing in prayer that God sees and hears Jer. 33:3. I have 7 children really only 3 walking with the Lord. A son and a daughter living same sex attracted lives, and the youngest 2 teen sons who are not serious about their faith and I dont really see any fruit. Lord You are faithful, and honor the prayers of the righteous man! We thank You in advance for our families coming to You for Eternity!
Waiting along with you, @Rebecca and @Kathy Isaacson. Praying for several young prodigals in my life. They are so deep in the world, it seems impossible, but that is also what led me to my knees. This is such a tough battle, that I can only give it to God. I pray that ALL of our prodigals come to a saving knowledge of Jesus. Just like me!! I was a prodigal until an Angel was put in my path. I pray the same for ALL of our prodigals! 🙏🙏
I'm so jealous of your family. How wonderful they sound and I can just tell when you speak about them your face lights up and you can just tell how much you love them! You are so kind-I just love you and I'm so glad God saved you, brother🙂
God Bless
You can admire but don’t be jealous! Comparison is the thief of joy.
Sometimes the family of God-made up of those who have accepted Jesus as Savior-is an *extra* deep blessing because we now have so many brothers and sisters around the world who can provide the love and encouragement our biological families may lack. Obviously, don't give up praying for your own family (!!!) but it's so special to have other believers there to pray with you now. ❤️ I'm praying for your family situation and that you have brothers and sisters in Christ who will compassionately come along side you.
@@mungbean345 Thank you so much and God bless you🙂
Same here. Mine are all still unsaved or very Christian in Name Only types and I have been ostracized because I am sold out for the Lord. I am alienated from my family but for very different reasons than Becket was. How I long for the day when we are all under Christ properly and indwelt with the Spirit.
Brought me to tears when Kim said she didn't care if he was gay. She just wanted you, Becket, in heaven. So many to pray for. Kim Cook is an amazing woman.
I was so impressed with this lady. She believed what the Bible said, and she wanted to have Becket in heaven with her,,,
I was a hippie 50 yrs ago. My mother prayed me into the Kingdom too. Outta the wild blue, I just woke up one day and thought I needed to go to Church. My best friend who got saved in the Jesus Movement told me to call upon the Lord and you will be saved. Two weeks later I had a terrible car wreck but just before it happened I cried out "Lord save me!". The next day I gave my heart to Jesus and the rest is His-story. Thank you, O God!
Praise the Lord, I love this 🥰
His-story . I love this !
I am only 2 minutes in but I am so excited you have her on. I have been praying Acts 26:18 over family members after learning that is what she prayed over you. I pray it over 6 people.
God Bless
Wonderful interview. Reminds me to keep praying for my granddaughter.
another great interview becket. i resonate alot with this, coming from a family of 13. coming out and then coming back to the faith in a big christian family. thanks for the constant encouragement in my walk coming out of homosexuality and coming back to walking with the Lord.
How marvelous !!!! What a wonderful Saviour!!!
God Bless
Praise God!!!
I am in awe of your strength!
@@gwenewing6837 only through God can i do this. it hasnt been easy. God bless you!
Thank you for this interview. I am thankful for the encouragement to keep praying for my daughter (21) and to leave her story in God's hands. Nothing is too difficult for Him!
Amen! God Bless
Hang in there. Praying for you both.
I understand, I’ll 🙏 for your daughter as I’m praying for my daughter (26) who claims to be an atheist but, was raised in church.
Thank Jesus …he came to seek and save the lost . God has done a mighty work . I appreciate your program !
I just want to say I LOVE Jesus! I LOVE being a Christian! And I love this show! I want to encourage anyone who is discouraged in their walk with God- keep going - keep seeking God - keep praying! God is helping you even when you don't see it!
I've been so discouraged lately. So many unanswered prayers and feeling like God doesn't see me or care. It's a difficult time.
Thank you! God Bless
Thank you Judy!
@@kerryr4854 Yes, I can relate. A prayer goes out for you.
What a beautiful conversation. I could see, n your eyes Beckett, the love and appreciation you feel for your S-I-L when you are reminded that she was LITERALLY praying for you. Seeing your name written in the margins of her bible. How beautiful. Family can be such a blessing.
My heart breaks for my adult children who were raised in the faith. I'm frustrated and so so sad that they refuse Christ. And they are raising their children without faith in Christ. I'm excited to hear this episode. Thank you both.
You are not alone Sandra. I have stepkids (now adult age) who were not raised in Christ. It's so hard to see their lifestyles. One (of the three) claims to be a Christian, but she (& her spouse) are extremely attached & addicted to any/all things material. Anything super, super, super, super, expensive & gaudy/show-offy, status symbol brand name stuff is a "must have" for them. Items like clothes, VERY heavy makeup, fake eyelashes, gaudy jewelry & houses & cars, lots of drinking, being seen & always front & center
Anyway Sandra ... despite their unhealthy behaviors & ongoing worldly lifestyle & focus, I keep healthy boundaries & just pray for them without ceasing.
Becke, you played that clip of Rosaria Butterfield saying that parents etc. should "stay connected without getting indoctrinated." That is EXCELLENT. Thank you for sharing that with us.
When I first heard you talk about your sister-in-law praying Acts 26:18 over you, I was so touched and now use it to pray for the salvation of my nonbeliever friends whenever the Lord lays it on my heart.
So lovely to hear the conversation recollecting memories between you both.
It was so very hard to hold back the tears during this episode, so I didn't. I will never get tired hearing your testimony, Beckett. I'm always grateful hearing words of encouragement as I pray for my nephew living in a gay marriage. God still moves!
Amen! God Bless
I’m so glad I’m not the only person who can’t remember things from 30 years ago.
The biggest take away for me in this amazing story is being more concerned about the salvation of someone than ANY THING else…..and with that is praying against ALL the lies of the enemy!
Kim so demonstrates how 'Love covers a multitude of sins' - she is lovely, very sweet, encouraging and endearing interview . . . thank you.
Thank you for your testimony Kim. I was told you need to have a "before" and "after" when you get saved. And I also got saved as a very young child and never had a conversion experience. About 15 yrs ago I prayed that the Lord use my life for His will. I prayed for months and one night, just before I went to sleep, the Lord said my name IN my head, behind my right ear. I got such a fright, I thought I chased the HS away. But the point is, some people get saved as very young children and DON'T have a dramatic change or a WOW experience 🙏
Please pray for me. I was saved as a young boy but due to events in my life have been living a gay life style as a prodigal. I know realize it’s wrong and I’ve turned back towards Christ but I’m still struggling with gay behavior and thoughts. Keep me in your prayers please.
The Lord is you strength.
I will be praying for you. I listen to the Bible and good teachings a lot, it helps me to renew my mind when I am struggling. May God pour out his grace and mercy on you!
His GRACE is sufficient 🤍 God Bless you!
You will wrestle with your flesh . But just choose in your heart and mind who you want to serve each day. Remember Jesus is enough . He is sufficient . His love for you is everlasting.
Praying for you brother. Come Holy Spirit🙏
I am currently intercepting and have been for my son it's become a desperate cry as he is currently homeless and addicted to drugs I thank God for this encouragement and God for the weapons to use to fight against the powers of darkness
Hi, Colleen. My family situation is not the same but I would suggest three things. (1) Make sure that you attend Church at least once a week and also pray every night. (2) Have other people in the family and Church pray for your son. (3) If possible, try to work with a ministry helping the homeless or addicted.
May the Grace of God be with you every day and the Holy Spirit fill you with Wisdom.
I just love this man! Can't wait to meet him in glory.
God Bless
This show brought tears to my eyes. I keep praying for my 26-year-old son's salvation. He has totally turned away from God and the church and says he never really believed. I grew up in church, but was only saved about 5 years ago so I feel a lot of guilt over not having given my son a strong enough foundation of faith to see him through college and beyond. I cry a lot over this and cry out to God but so far my son has only grown more anti-God and church. He even posts snide remarks about Christianity and Christians on Facebook. It gives me hope that sometimes prayers from family help. Thank you Beckett.
God Bless
Thank Beckett
It is extremely painful.i have similar regrets. GOD BLESS YOU
Oh my goodness I just finished reading your book Becket and I was wondering what Kim was like!!! Great timing!
Sitting here with my eyes welling with tears thinking of your brother reading that email Beckett. So glad you were won over to the winning side = it is amazing to have you as agent of change for the Lord! God loves you so much and obviously your family was so overwhelmingly happy to have you come to Christ.
Me too...and I don't know why. Just about to type that.
I’m so thankful to Kim for praying you into the Kingdom. This video gave me hope for my unsaved family, two in particular plus my kids dad. They are hardcore in NEVER willingly wanting to become Christians. Plz pray for them.
Love you Beckett! 😁
All about relationship…she loved her little brother, and wanted to catch up at the coffee shop. Love this. Thank you for sharing this perspective.
God Bless
Exactly the encouragement I needed right now, thank you! I've been praying and fasting for a friend who doesn't know God for almost twenty years and was at times wondering if I should stop and let it go.
The power of prayer! 💥💥💥 God is so amazing ❤️ Beautiful and inspirational testimony!
I’ve always wanted to meet your sister in law❤️😇✝️
How wonderful it is that you had someone that consciously prayed for you, not many in today's day and age. 🙏😍
Thank you God. Thank you Kim. We love Beckett
Thank you! God Bless
It's so hard. I'm also praying for my two adult sons to return to Christ.
I watched this last night. I felt a need to pray for my husband Steve and my family and friends last night. I asked God to save Steve from evil plan Satan had and that we rebuke any schemes over our lives. Steve came home and told me last night at work he almost lost his leg. That a toe motor exploded next to him and he felt the heat on his leg. Hot coolant was flowing out like a geyser. He said I couldn’t believe my leg didn’t have a burn. I told him I prayed for him last night and God saved him. 🙏🏻 We are always fighting a spiritual battle and Kim help remind me to get on my knees and fight. ❤️
Your sister in law is so precious! Thanks for sharing her part of your story! She knew how to love you then and now and the battle truly is won when we fight in prayer 🙏
Amen! God Bless
100%. This is really encouraging. There are many people I pray for, or I've felt compelled to pray for - and I always pray that their eyes would be opened to the truth, and their hearts not hardened to the gospel and for God to have mercy and pour His goodness on them, because that is what causes people to repent. Sometimes you never know how much your prayers are impacting person. Its really awesome when you find out they have come to God.
God Bless
I would like to hear her again as she negotiates the present culture with her kids, and what parents need to do, in more detail.
Me too. I would love to hear how Beckett's life influenced her in raising her kids.
This is how I prayed for my sister for 20+ years, just come to Christ and let me know does at peace with Him. I had to trust God would just do the rest, but I had to remain firm in my conviction of God's Word.
And then she was diagnosed with cancer, 7 weeks later she emailed the family to acknowledge she'd made her peace with God, she wanted to be baptized, then she went into palliative care shortly after and died.
I never asked for God to heal her on earth, just to verify she knew Christ as her Savior, and let God do the rest .
He chose to take her Home and heal her there. I'm so grateful 🙏
Holy Spirit goosebumps when she read your email ♥️God is good! I’m so grateful he saved you Becket, looking forward to meeting you at the cloud party! ( I know you said your not sure about the rapture, you will be very pleasantly surprised! Thank you for sharing your story it always encourages me❤️
He will be pleasantly surprised…….
that was so cool, she saved it! ...Greg Koukl of STR doesn't believe in the rapture either. there are probably more! he did a little blurb on it, look it up!
God Bless
I know, I can't wait to meet him too 😀
I've got to be honest about the Rapture as I've heard it expressed in Christian Culture, I too am unsure it will happen as expressed. I try to go with Scripture. Strange as it may come across I don't dis-believe it either. I just don't know wither way. Thankfully believing in the Rapture as expressed in human terms has no bearing on my or any other Christians Salvation. There's a lot of Scripture I still don't get, but same situation, it doesn't affect my Salvation outcome! I believe without doubt that Jesus is who Scripture told us He would be, who he, Jesus, told us who He was during His time here as fully Human, yet still God. I believe He died for me on the Cross, paid in full for my sin, same as everyone who is His, I believe the hundreds of witnesses who saw Him after His Resurrection, that He ascended into Heaven having fulfilled Scripture that had pointed to His coming (as expressed in the Old Testament) earlier. Actually, it was the old Testament that nailed who He is for me, you could hear/read Him expressed over the generations covered by the Old Testament. I'd been a Christian for several years before finally reading both the Old and New Testaments cover to cover, it just washed away so much doubt, it also confirmed Scripture from the New Testament (2 Peter 1:19) for me, I fully understood what that meant after reading/hearing the Old Testament, it's there, it's so amazing! For me it washed away any argument I might have had, and believe me when I say I had times of doubt. Doubt is not bad if you are still searching for the Truth, when truth comes it is so much more securely anchored in the heart and mind of the believer, that's how it was for me anyway! I'm open to the possibility of the Rapture as expressed in Christian Culture, it would fit with 'called up to meet Him in the sky,' but belief in 'The Rapture' in no way affect's my or anyone elses Salvation, it's one of those things I pray for more clarity on, but should I not receive an answer, I remain secure in who I know Jesus is and what He has accomplished, in obedience to the Father's Will for all that are His! We must also never believe we are Spiritually ahead of others who may doubt something like this, that is a danger area for anyone let alone a Christian, our nemesis Pride is a huge stumbling block in such thinking! I know He's coming back (not when, one should hightail it from date setters), that is enough for me until the Holy Spirit illumines me any further. My hardest task has always been allowing Christ to lead in all things, and I do rather expect that may be an ongoing thing, no surprises there, I lack perfection until either He comes, or I go to be with Him!
So glad that your sister in law, Kim was there for you (and sounds like you were there for her too) - through life circumstance 🙂
Love how she reiterated to be on our knees because we fight our battles on our knees. Wonderful to listen to you and your sister-in-law. ❣️
God Bless
Thank you, Kim, for your encouragement. The love and grace of a God-fearing family member who loves you. Hard to beat.
My children grew up on the mission field overseas. After high school they moved to the US. We could see how little by little they started loosing their faith in Christ. I am praying every day for them to come back to a relationship with Christ!
My old school friend, then divorced, came to visit me with her then boyfriend, i just refused them to sleep in the same room. I cannot let unmarried people sleep together in my home and preach to my children what the Bible says. She respected my decision and we are still friends today.
That’s a good friend! Nowadays people will write you off for your beliefs!
I'm crying happy tears over the letter you wrote to Kim. Oh how I long for similar letters from my 2 sons.
Your book is a great reference... one more gold nugget The LORD provided to walk in this season with my teenage son and the gender confusion... learning to love him, like GOD LOVES me, long suffering...
Having children that aren't walking with GOD... teaches us much humility and patience... PRAISE GOD, I can trust HIM!!! I believe my sons are soon going to RETURN to THEIR 1ST LOVE!!!! Blessings....
I was the 4th of 4 kids and I was at home the longest, so I can remember seeing my parents, arthritis and all, kneeling in prayer by their bed. Often God has nudged me when I came thru alive again, see? That's because your parents prayed.
God Bless
I find your long videos so relaxing to fall asleep to. That's not to say I don't appreciate the subject matter, it's just very soothing. Nobody ever shouts and you have a very calming demeanour. Thank you. ♥️
💯 agree! I love the music at the beginning and end of each episode, Beckett's relaxed, happy voice and the wonderful positivity of his guests and their conversation 🥰
Simply loving someone so much & knowing only Jesus can do it, but doing her job in prayer: what a beautiful Sister-in-Love you have! And your family sounds amazing- JUST LIKE YOU, Becket. I see where your compassion was birthed.👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️💟
Oh how this has blessed me !! I get so soul weary and heartbroken praying and praying and seeing nothing happen in the lives of people I love . This brings hope ❤️
God Bless
I get soul weary w/ life, and not getting to go home to heaven as I've always wanted. His testimony and this follow up was a lovely soul boost.
This was very inspirational. I want to be that kind of a mom - the one that prays for her children. And I know I fall short so often. But I just want my children to grow up knowing God and walking with him. When I think of so many Christian children who stray away as they grow up, I just want God to have mercy and keep my children in his ways. As a mom there’s only so much I can do.
God Bless
It's true, there's only so much you can do. So go to God, hold your Bible, read it and pray the Bible over your children. Do it! The most important thing is the soul of your child, not what they eat, wear, know, schooling, etc. I finally understand the Bible verse that says "pray without ceasing". It means constant communion with God, speaking to Him, meditating over Scripture, trusting and turning to Him! He loves us and he is mighty to save! Be encouraged today, Friend! God has given you a very important job! 🙏♥️♥️♥️
I highly recommend the books by Jodie Berndt. Praying the Scriptures for Your Children, PTS For Your Teenagers, and PTS For Your Adult Children. When I use them I can’t stop praying. They remind me of all the things I need to be praying.
It’s amazing how God orchestrated things so you were able to spend quality time together. This gives me hope for my son and grandson.
I have really enjoyed this conversation and seeing Kim that I’ve heard you praise and read about in your book. Please pray for my adult son. He’s 37 has been married 10 years this month and he is divorcing his wife and leaving two young kids because he thinks he’s gay. None of us saw this coming and are still in disbelief. We love him but don’t accept this behavior. Trying to keep the door open and the love for him evident.
Thank you for this. What has happened in my family is that my husband and I have been cut off completely. Our son did not want to hear our belief that marriage is between a man and a woman open toward children. Saying that to him was the equivalent of rejecting him. I said we should be able to have different views and still love each other. His reply was that I didn't get it. And now no communication. I pray for his conversion every day and put him in God's hands.
This is a delight! I have so admired your Kim since I heard your story..! Thank You!
Thank you for sharing please pray for my son for his eyes to be open
Excellent interview…especially liked the part about prayer! As Glen Campbell said later in his life, “ There is nothing more powerful in the universe than the power of prayer…it got Peter out of jail!” So great to meet your sister in law.
I pray all of our loved ones come to Christ. Don’t give up praying saints! God is truly faithful!
This video is soooo exciting. What a wonderful women of God-Kim.
Beautiful episode Brother and amazing that your sister-in-law has been praying for you and I want to start praying for my older cousins that are gay and also continuing to pray for those that I don’t know that are in the community and are believing lies. Really great prayers your sister-in-law said “God whatever it takes, save them”. God bless you brother & your ministry
Just watched this for the 2nd time and when Kim read your letter about being saved it brought tears to my eyes! Prayer is so powerful & God is so good!! Thank you so much for your ministry Becket! God bless you & keep you!
The scripture in the book of Acts was unbelievably timely. Like a "Rema" word. I'm sure it would have been chaotic, but it would have been a huge blessing to have your entire family on the show, that would have been classic! Maybe a future Christmas special "Back home with the Cook's"?!?
In speaking to children who are coming out, that is a precarious cliff to be on, I told my family that if they didn't accept my lifestyle, they didn't need to be in my life. I never proposed an option. What I say goes, type of thing. I did apologize to them when I rededicated my life to the Lord. It is so important to be connected to God's Holy Spirit so we can know how to handle our family members "coming out" because only Jesus knows exactly what is needed in every unique situation. Blessings to you brother.
Great idea about the family show!
This is such a vital ministry. You were a last step in God preparing me for ministry with young people. I studied ministry in the 80s, but felt I had too many problems & gave it up, right at the end of my degree/ finishing a major in theology. I told my own youth minister of this decision at the time. Recently, I was reunited with her, decades later, right during a period of praying to be shown which route to go to volunteer at Church. I have seen miracles & proof of Jesus, so felt I could not bake the cupcakes or something ignoring what God has given me. I was like Moses in the desert for 40 years, after hearing a calling. I have spent massive time with God, Bible study, listening to sermons/ talks, walking with God, preparing to be an artist by calling. I was led to seek God the next morning, to start my day, with everything going wrong. I had found this Becket Cook ministry just days ago/ listening a lot. It gave me courage to get my 'beliefs' right amid cultural pressure. The very next thing, as I face an appointment about youth ministry at my church, I pray & read a daily Bible devotion, & it is about Moses being called to lead the children of God out of darkness, who have been lied to by the world, & are injured in various ways. Thanks for helping prepare me for finally working in ministry. Praise God.
This gives me great encouragement to pray and 'not faint' for unsaved loved ones struggling in all areas of life 🙏🏽🙏🏽💯
His commandments aren't burdensome because we love and trust him. It is actually an honor to have His word, but the more than there is so much treasure there! It's like a secret that He trusts us with.
Great testimony!! Thank you. This interview has made me realize I need to keep loving on my brother's girlfriend that is not a Christian. Many blessings to you!
Please pray for my cousin and her wife who are in a gay marriage and my friend’s brother who is gay. None of them are believers. So appreciate the wisdom and compassion you express from God Becket. 🌈🤗 (rainbow as God’s promise ❤️)
This was so encouraging to watch! I have unsaved family members and it's hard to see them get lost in all the indoctrination, but hearing how your relationship with your family was before you were saved reminds me of them. It's a good reminder to keep praying and to trust God 🙏♥️
I really enjoyed this interview! Nothing like siblings having a heart to heart. Reminds me of my family… almost felt too personal to listen to, but very heartwarming and special. Thank you!!!
What a great interview! I think we all have family members and loved ones we are praying for. This encourages us to keep praying and believing;!
Amen! God Bless
Thank the Lord for God-fearing family members who pray. Hearing this testimony is so encouraging! God bless you and your family Becket.
Thank you. God Bless
Thanks Becket and Kim for this. Brought tears to my eyes, and gave me much encouragement and hope. I don’t have any “gay” family members, but I have family members I agonise over in prayer. I will plead Acts 26:18 over them with renewed vigour. Praise God for you guys!
I cried when Kim read the email! GOD is so good!❤
In my case, I was the 'deviant', I left Church when I was 16 or 17, and 30+ years later, it's actually my gay but celibate brother whose exemplary spiritual life who pulled me back. I mean, I understand it's the work of the Holy Spirit but He worked through my brother. May God bless these biological or spiritual brothers and sisters.
God Bless
I remember hearing you share about how your sister in law was praying Acts 26:18 for you for all those years, and ever since, I’ve been praying that same verse for those who are still lost and in the darkness. It’s a beautiful verse, especially because it’s directly from the mouth of the Lord Jesus, and I’m always grateful for the work you do for the kingdom of God, Becket!
God Bless
Thank you Becket and Kim. I loved the watching this. Praise the Lord for Kim and your other family members praying for you and for you coming to know Jesus and getting saved!
It’s so funny that you posted this because I was going to request this interview!
God bless Becket Cook and his family!!!
The power of prayer and the love of a family. Praise God.
That was such a joy to listen to. Thank you. God blessed you with a loving, wonderful family.
I think something that she has that probably helped you feel loved by her was that her relationship with God is real and it is what it is. It doesn’t seem to be a show, and she doesn’t seem to be pretending. So, her bringing up of God in conversations is logical because He’s an undeniable part of her life.
I think there are times for debating, and intentionality is good, but we really do need the word and prayer to give us more discernment on how to balance all of those things.
Hearing the content of that email was such a joy. PTL for all of the stories of people turning to the Lord!
Thank you for not giving up and praying for Becket. ❤️
This was such a blessing to hear. I am in prayer for my older brother who is also in LA living this lifestyle. It comforts me that the Lord has already provided for his salvation and is waiting patiently with open arms if he should choose to turn back to Him. Lots of love in the Lord, Becket!
So beautiful! I’m a praying mama, lifting my saved, wayward son, who is making this choice. Also praying for his friend. May my son be drawn into repentance by Jesus’ love, and May his friend be drawn into salvation by Christ’s love.
God Bless
This is what witnessing looks like . Right here .
Love Kim!! I believe the Bible like that also. Psalm 119, my allegiance is to God first!! Beautiful!! Glad to have you both as my brother and sister!
Praying for my son daily 🙏
Mr. Cook, please pray for me and my children. My husband husband of 29 years came out and has fully embraced the gay lifestyle. What is scary is that he was a minister of gospel for many years. I am devastated, I don’t understand how someone can walk away from Christ knowing what the Bible says about this. I need a miracle and if it is the Lord’s will a full restoration of our marriage and family
😭incredible, all those prayers! Beautiful ✝️
Glory to God for His indescribable gift! Your testimony is beautiful and encouraging. Your boldness in sharing it, sharing the Gospel, remaining firmly rooted and grounded in the faith, and in His Word, is inspiring. Lord bless and keep you!
God Bless
