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 Dr. John G. West, author of Endowed by Our Creator: The Bible, Science, and the Battle for America's Soul. Marking America's 250th anniversary, they unpack the Declaration of Independence's timeless truths—that all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—rooted in biblical principles, natural law, and the founders' belief in objective morality. West reveals how these "self-evident" ideas made America a unique creed-based nation and why surveys show most Americans today misunderstand or reject their divine source.

The discussion contrasts the American founding with the French Revolution's utopian failures, then traces how 19th-century Darwinian evolution undermined human equality, objective morality, human exceptionalism, and consent-based government—fueling racism, eugenics, moral relativism, and technocratic rule. Yet West offers hope: modern science increasingly reaffirms a Creator, human dignity, and the Declaration's core truths. Essential viewing for anyone passionate about America's founding principles, liberty, virtue, and the future of the nation. Get the book now!
