by The Becket Cook Show
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.

Edwards, a heterosexual husband and father, traces how a 1970s prophecy book given to his Liverpool dad by Anglican chaplain Graham Topping in Jersey planted a seed that later led to his father's born-again conversion after family tragedy, then to Aaron's reluctant trip to Stoneleigh Bible Week, his siblings' faith, his brother's healing, and their mother's salvation before she died. The conversation highlights God's long-range providence—from a hotel tip that wasn't cash, to God TV, Alpha, an "accidental" sinner's prayer, and a reunion that revived a chaplain ready to quit ministry—offering an encouraging family-wide gospel story of conversion, healing, and unexpected grace.

In today's episode, Becket Cook sits down with Oxford emeritus mathematics professor and Christian apologist Dr. John Lennox to discuss his stunning new autobiography My Story. Lennox shares his dual life as a full-time missionary and Oxford academic, his Northern Ireland upbringing, mentorship under David Gooding, Cambridge years, Operation Mobilization, and famous public debates with new atheists like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. He recounts high-stakes ministry behind the Iron Curtain in Hungary and East Germany—spies, packed village churches, the Jugendweihe, a life-changing train conversation on grace versus merit, and a moving Holocaust exchange in a Budapest synagogue—plus the Nobel Prize scientist who pressured him to abandon faith.

In today's episode, Becket Cook interviews Dr. Paul Weaver about his book Faith Affirming Findings: 50 Archaeological Discoveries That Validate the Historicity and Reliability of Scripture. They cover finds that silenced Bible skeptics: the Tel Dan House of David stele confirming King David’s dynasty, the Nabonidus Cylinder and Chronicle proving Belshazzar and explaining Daniel 5’s third-in-power offer, the first-century Magdala synagogue showing synagogues existed before AD 70, Yehohanan’s crucified heel bone with iron nail verifying Gospel nailing and burial accounts, the Thessalonica politarch inscription confirming Luke’s accuracy in Acts 17, the ornate Caiaphas ossuary of the high priest who condemned Jesus, and the Pontius Pilate inscription from Caesarea Maritima. These biblical archaeology discoveries from Tel Dan, Babylon, Galilee, Jerusalem, and Caesarea affirm real people, places, and events in Scripture, strengthening confidence in the Bible’s historicity for pastors, teachers, and students.

In today's episode, Becket Cook interviews Richard Matthews about his viral TikTok video detailing how he was fired from his New York City job for posting Christian content and sharing his testimony of being rescued by God from homosexuality during Pride Month. Matthews recounts growing up in a single-parent home in Georgia without a father figure, facing bullying, discovering same-sex attraction through early internet pornography, battling porn addiction, depression, and anxiety, and ultimately choosing to fully follow Jesus after years of struggle with the gay lifestyle and "gay Christian" ideas. Richard describes his powerful rooftop encounter with God, the freedom found in Scripture and community at V1 Church, the launch of Redeemption Ministries, and how authenticity about leaving same-sex attraction has opened doors for digital evangelism, podcasts, and equipping the church on biblical sexuality and the gospel. https://youtube.com/@richwithpassion?si=NOGKsPuHZP4wjtjp https://www.therichardmatthews.com The Becket Cook Show Ep. 251 Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

In today’s episode, Becket Cook sits down with New York Times bestselling author Eric Metaxas to discuss his powerful new book Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World. Timed with America’s 250th anniversary, Metaxas reveals why the American Revolution stands alone in history—rooted in the biblical conviction that the colonists rejected an earthly king to look directly to God—and unpacks lesser-known details from John Adams’ 1761 courtroom flashpoint with James Otis Jr. and the Writs of Assistance, through the Stamp Act, Samuel Adams as the true “Father of the Revolution,” Patrick Henry’s bold defiance, the killing of 11-year-old Christopher Seider, George Whitefield’s Great Awakening influence, the Boston Tea Party, Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, and the real timeline of the Declaration of Independence. Metaxas also dismantles myths (George Washington was no deist), celebrates heroes like John Hancock and Joseph Warren, and explains why every American must reclaim this God-centered founding story to preserve liberty for the next 250 years. A must-watch conversation on the American Revolution, Founding Fathers, and the birth of the greatest nation in world history.

In today's episode, Becket Cook talks with theologian and author Denny Burk who joins the show to unpack his new book Mere Complementarianism: Male and Female in the Image of God. Discover the true biblical meaning of complementarianism—rooted in the Danvers Statement—and how it differs from soft complementarianism, hard complementarianism, egalitarianism, and biblical patriarchy. Burk explains why men and women, equally made in the image of God, have distinct yet complementary roles in marriage, the home, and the church, drawing deeply from Genesis 1–3, Ephesians 5, 1 Timothy 2, and 1 Corinthians 11. They tackle the most pressing questions: Who can preach on Sunday mornings, teach Sunday school, or serve as seminary professors and deacons? What does the Bible say about women, head coverings, and Phoebe? Why does the path to LGBTQ affirmation almost always begin with an egalitarian hermeneutic? And why is complementarianism a vital second-order doctrine that protects the gospel itself? Whether you’re seeking clarity on biblical gender roles, male headship, or the dangers of feminist reinterpretations of Scripture, this conversation delivers a clear, Scripture-saturated defense of God’s good design for men and women.
