The Becket Cook Show

Becket Cook
The Becket Cook Show was created by Becket Cook to discuss relevant topics and to crush the lies of culture with truth. Becket Cook was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. After graduating from college, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of writing and acting, finding success in both. He eventually became a production designer working on fashion shoots for brands such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Gap, L'Oréal Paris, and Nike. Becket lived as a gay man until 2009, when he reluctantly agreed to attend a church service at which he was transformed by the gospel and gave his life to Christ. He also knew that homosexuality was a sin and that he could no longer live that life. Becket spends much of his time in ministry speaking at churches, universities, and conferences helping people understand this issue biblically, theologically, culturally, and personally. Becket graduated from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University in 2017 with a Master of Arts in Theology.

Are You a Courageous Christian? Ken Harrison Interview
August 3, 2023 - 64 min
Support The Becket Cook Show on Patreon! In today’s episode, Becket chats with the CEO of Promise Keepers, Ken Harrison, on what it means to be a courageous Christian in a cowardly world. Ken also tells wild stories of his time as an officer in the LAPD and of an accident he was involved in that changed his life and walk with the Lord.  Are you ready to stop wasting time and start turning your mundane life into one of adventure and blessing? Ken Harrison weaves together powerful stories and deep truths from Scripture to point you to the life for which God has called you. Ask Christians what they expect to happen to them after they die, and most will say they will go to heaven. And they’ll probably say that they will meet Jesus and hope to hear Him say, “Well done good and faithful servant.” But many believers know they are not living up to God’s calling on their lives. In fact, many might even admit their lives don’t honor God at all—at least Mondays through Saturdays.

The War on Men: Nancy Pearcey Interview
June 22, 2023 - 39 min
Support The Becket Cook Show on Patreon! In today’s episode, Becket chats with bestselling author Professor Nancy Pearcey on her fascinating new book, "The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes." "Why Can't We Hate Men?" asks a headline in the Washington Post. A trendy hashtag is #KillAllMen. Books are sold titled I Hate Men, The End of Men, and Are Men Necessary?How did the idea arise that masculinity is dangerous and destructive? Nancy Pearcey leads you on a fascinating excursion through American history to discover why the script for masculinity turned toxic—and how to fix it. Pearcey then turns to surprising findings from sociology. Religion is often cast as a cause of domestic abuse. But research shows that authentically committed Christian men test out as the most loving and engaged husbands and fathers. They have the lowest rates of divorce and domestic violence of any group in America. Yes, domestic abuse is an urgent issue, and Pearcey does not mince words in addressing it. But the sociological facts explode the negative stereotypes and show that Christianity has the power to overcome toxic behavior in men and reconcile the sexes—an unexpected finding that has stood up to rigorous empirical testing.
