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.

My son professes to be gay,he was in a relationship with another man for a couple years and they were living together,I showed kindness and not judgement to both even though I am a born again Christian and believe homosexuality is a sin, when my son told me they were getting married my heart broke into a thousand pieces 😭He is deceived by satan and homosexuality is a spirit,I realize this,but my son did not understand why I would not come to His wedding and was extremely hurt by it😭😭😭we no longer have a relationship,his choice,even though I reach out to him all the time and tell him I love him....He feels I don’t except him for who he is. Satan seeks to destroy and divide families and relationships.....

Going to a gay “wedding” is approving of the ceremony. We are witnesses at weddings because we’re there for approval and support. Marriage is a sacred and holy ceremony created by God.

This happened to me. It was also a Wiccan wedding. Most of my family was mad at me for not going. I felt so sad and conflicted. I love my family.

this was my favorite quote from Rosaria that day: "You love The Lord the most over your spouse, over everything, …if you don’t, you will destroy those people you think you love with a predatory kind of sin that’s going to infect them."

It is funny that I came across this today of all days. I am 68 and have spent the time since I retired examining every aspect of my life asking myself where I could have made a turn. This is personal but here goes. I was molested by my father when I was 4. I dearly loved both of my parents and up to that point no one could have asked for better parents. I was the apple of their eyes. I loved them so much I remember thinking "I will whisper this to my mother and she will make it stop." Needless to say, it did not work out that way. This situation and the the fall out from this crippled my life. I will leave out the details. I have pondered over and over how I could have handled the situation back then (keeping in mind that I was only 4) and could not come up with an alternative other than dying (a story for another time). No one believed me at the time - mother, uncle, siblings, aunt or family doctor or probably more than likely did not want to face it themselves. Today I realized the one thing that would have made a difference - that is the truth. If one of those individuals had said they believed my regardless of whether they interceded or not, I believe my life would not have gone down the route it did - constantly questioning my own realities. Today I realized that compromising the truth for any reason only causes more heartache. Christians have begun to view Jesus as what I would describe as a "I am OK, you're OK, faculty lounge lizard." It has become the church of nice unwilling to speak the truth. Parents do not speak up as their daughters go down paths that will only lead to their own destruction, cohabitation is now common place, fornication, porn as well. I could go on. Not speaking the truth is being complicit with the sin and does incredible damage to the souls of all involved.

Thank you for this discussion. My oldest daughter is in a homosexual relationship and she has written me off completely. This particular video has been extremely helpful and encouraging. I continue to pray for her and love her with all my heart. Blessings to you all. 🙏

Christ over Culture always

Very interesting. Here in Japan the same dilemma arises when Christians are in a position to attend a family members Buddhist funeral where they will be put in a position to engage in ancestor worship. Christians are divided as to whether or not they should even attend. But, generally they attend and present a flower in front of the casket rather than light incense which is a sign of "worship". I have attended several Buddhist funerals and in place of incense, I laid a flower in front of the casket. On two such occasions I was publicly yelled at by the Buddhist priest presiding. He basically said, "If you're not going to worship the dead, don't even come!". I realize that this is different than a gay wedding, but I do wonder if attendance automatically represents condoning the act.

What do you do if your daughter wants you to go to her gay wedding? You go, of course. She’s your daughter. Being a parent is a sacred duty. You don’t choose your orientation - she certainly didn’t choose to be gay any more than you chose not to be. If she didn’t choose to be gay, Who do you think made her that way?

This encouraged me a lot. My son has got into drugs and says awful things via text. We live in different provinces. Nothing to do with gay issues but it confirmed I’m doing the right thing. Just loving him in spite of the awful things he says I needed this tonight 💕
