In today’s episode, Becket talks with pastor and author, Tim Challies, about his book, “Seasons of Sorrow: The Pain of Loss and the Comfort of God.”  On November 3, 2020, Tim and Aileen Challies received the shocking news that their son Nick had died. A twenty-year-old student at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, he had been participating in a school activity with his fiancée, sister, and friends, when he fell unconscious and collapsed to the ground. Neither students nor a passing doctor nor paramedics were able to revive him. His parents received the news at their home in Toronto and immediately departed for Louisville to be together as a family. While on the plane, Tim, an author and blogger, began to process his loss through writing. In Seasons of Sorrow, Tim shares real-time reflections from the first year of grief—through the seasons from fall to summer—introducing readers to what he describes as the “ministry of sorrow.” Seasons of Sorrow will benefit both those that are working through sorrow or those comforting others:• See how God is sovereign over loss and that he is good in loss• Discover how you can pass through times of grief while keeping your faith• Learn how biblical doctrine can work itself out even in life’s most difficult situations• Understand how it is possible to love God more after loss than you loved him before Tim's Website: https://www.challies.com/ Buy Tim's Book "Seasons of Sorrow" here: https://amzn.to/3xLn0sQ The Becket Cook Show Ep. 114This Episode of The Becket Cook Show is available on YouTubeJoin the Patreon!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Support The Becket Cook Show on Patreon! In today’s episode, Becket talks with Anglican deacon about his recent speech at Oxford Union regarding homosexuality. In his stunning 12-minute speech, he lays out the biblical sexual ethic and condemns the Church of England for her recent decision to “bless same-sex couples.” We talk about the powerful points he makes in his speech and its fallout, and why the Church of England is careening toward apostasy. We also look at the response from the Anglican Global South Communion and its statement that they are “no longer able to recognize the present Archbishop of Canterbury as the first among equals leader of the global communion.

Support The Becket Cook Show on Patreon! In today’s episode, Becket talks with the British historian, Tom Holland, about his brilliant book, “Dominion: How the Christian Revolution Remade the World.” We look at how Christian assumptions are underneath everything including the French Revolution, Harvey Weinstein & #METOO, and the Women’s March. Time itself is grounded in Christianity in terms of the calendar we use—B.C (before Christ) and A.D. (anno domini – the year of our Lord). All of time turns on the incarnation of Christ! Our entire society is saturated by Christian concepts and assumptions. About the book: Crucifixion, the Romans believed, was the worst fate imaginable, a punishment reserved for slaves. How astonishing it was, then, that people should have come to believe that one particular victim of crucifixion-an obscure provincial by the name of Jesus-was to be worshipped as a god. Dominion explores the implications of this shocking conviction as they have reverberated throughout history. Today, the West remains utterly saturated by Christian assumptions. As Tom Holland demonstrates, our morals and ethics are not universal but are instead the fruits of a very distinctive civilization. Concepts such as secularism, liberalism, science, and homosexuality are deeply rooted in a Christian seedbed. From Babylon to the Beatles, Saint Michael to #MeToo, Dominion tells the story of how Christianity transformed the modern world.

In today’s episode, Becket talks with 19-year-old Jacob Kersey, the police officer in Georgia who resigned because of a Facebook post he made stating that, “God designed marriage.

Support The Becket Cook Show on Patreon! In today’s episode, Becket interviews Christian Post writer, Brandon Showalter, about the new documentary on trans ideology and how it tears families apart called, Dead Name. Here is the description of the documentary: Dead Name, the indie documentary, is not fiery or provocative or slick or political. Rather, it's an intimate portrait of three parents whose lives have been shaken and forever altered because their children have declared (or have been given) a transgender identity. In an hour-length film that weaves back and forth among mostly three stories, we learn how shocking it is for parents to hear that their children in their mid to late teens have seemingly out of nowhere decided to switch from female to male or from male to female. In another story, we follow one parent's nightmarish descent into the transgender world as her ex assigns a female gender to their very young son. In all these stories, we find parents struggling with disbelief, loneliness, helplessness, isolation and despair. Ultimately, each one's ultimate fear is the medicalized transition of their child -- though in one story, the path to medicalization may have proven to be fatal. Dead Name lets us in on the inner thoughts, the struggles, and the declarations to fight for children who feel lost to them. We have made Dead Name to open the conversation, humanize the subject from the perspective of parents, and give them a voice.
