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.

In today's episode, Becket Cook sits down with Tomas Kaya, a Swedish singer and preschool teacher who shares his powerful testimony of salvation at 17, years of backsliding into a homosexual lifestyle, and his dramatic return to Christ through conviction, repentance, and renewed faith.

Tomas opens up about growing up in an Orthodox Syrian-Turkish household marked by honor culture, abuse, and family struggles, how bitterness led him away from God, and how the Holy Spirit brought healing, freedom, and purpose back into his life. This inspiring Christian testimony explores repentance, forgiveness, same-sex attraction, persecution for faith, and the transforming power of Jesus Christ.

In today's episode, Becket Cook welcomes theologian and author Aaron Edwards back to the show to discuss his latest article, “The Feminist Gaze and the Wisdom of God,” and the growing controversy surrounding the Church of England’s stance on same-sex blessings, the “Living in Love and Faith” process, and shifting theology within Anglican leadership.

Aaron shares why he became a “theologian in academic exile,” explains how progressive theology often pits Jesus vs. Paul to reinterpret Scripture, and explores why that approach ultimately undermines biblical authority and historic Christian teaching. Together, they examine feminism in the church, cultural pressure on clergy, the role of compromise in mainline denominations, and what it means to trust the wisdom of God over the wisdom of the age.

In today's episode, Becket Cook welcomes back biblical scholar Denny Burke—professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and president of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood—to unpack a viral Joe Rogan clip where Texas Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico claims the Bible is pro-choice. Talarico argues that God asked Mary for consent before the incarnation in Luke 1, framing creation and pregnancy as requiring freedom and bodily autonomy. Burke dismantles this interpretation, showing it's a clear distortion: the Annunciation is God's sovereign announcement, not a negotiation, and Mary's response is humble submission as the Lord's bond-slave.

They also refute the outdated "life begins at first breath" claim from Genesis 2:7, highlight the unborn's personhood in Luke (John leaping for joy in Elizabeth's womb), and warn how this eisegesis promotes theological liberalism with destructive consequences for life, marriage, and family. If you're exploring faith, politics, abortion rights, or biblical fidelity amid viral debates, this episode clarifies why Scripture consistently affirms the sanctity of unborn life.
