ABOUT BECKET:
Becket Cook was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. He attended Jesuit College Preparatory
School of Dallas. After graduating from college, 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.

Aaahhhyep!!
I don’t typically ask this, but to the people that read this comment, would you please pray for me? I’m only 17, but I’ve been battling with homosexual desires for years now, and it’s just so hard to fully surrender to god, and to continually mortify my flesh. Rosaria Butterfield says “drive a fresh nail into your choice sin daily”, but the truth is, killing your flesh every day is excruciatingly painful! Especially when you’ve been feeding into it for so long, and almost never denying it.
I'm praying for you, Elijah. And you're right, crucifying your flesh everyday is very painful. Don't ever forget He is with you.
@@k.popper2620 thank you. I truly do appreciate the prayers and encouragement.
I will pray for you. I grew up as a gay male and I'm in my mid 60's. I understand exactly what you're going through. I pray and ask Jesus for help. God Bless.
Will pray for you.
When you say "never denying it once," I'm not sure whether you're referencing the temptations or whether you've actually committed the practice of homosexuality. But God knows, so I have prayed for you! Prayers up, blessings down.
I prayed for my dad for 40 years. But it happened. God was so merciful to him.
You soo Blessed! 🙏🏻
I prayed for my grandfather, for maybe 50 years and by the grace of God, my husband and I were able to bring him to Jesus a few weeks before he passed away
Praise God! 🙌. He is so faithful , merciful and gracious. I am so happy that your father was saved. God bless you ❤
I had a radical conversion five years ago. I've e been sharing the gospel with my wife and children ever since. It used to cause me anxiety and stress until...God revealed to me that he loves them far more than i ever could. I just love them and lead by example. I take them to the Throne of Grace daily through prayer. Perfect love casts out fear
Just after 32 minutes "because there aren't that many men who were gay and then get saved and really walk the walk and talk the talk" - THAT STATISTIC is changing, our number is growing... PRAISE JESUS for the "such weres" (1 Corinthians 6:9-11) ;-)
Amen! God is doing true miracles in our lives. I am amazed at the changes in my own life, my sister and others who have been saved around me and His love, mercy and redemptive power! God is so good! Ive been praying for you Beckett ever since watching and subscribing to your CZcams channel. You are such a beautiful man of God! God is using you and your testimony and your encouragement in mighty ways! I Praise God for the work He is doing in us! He is truly awesome! I hope you are praying for us watching, too. May God’s Best Blessings Be Yours!!!
I am praying for 4 of our 7 children to be converted to Christ. Will be praying for the conversion of the whole world 🌎 thank you Becket and Chynna May God bless you both abundantly ❤
Please pray for my adult son, Andrew. He is surrounded by atheists. Please pray that I will be able to see him soon and bring him God's word so that he may be saved.
Praying he will accept the Who and the Holy one behind the creation.
Will pray for Andrew❤
Whats wrong with us atheists?
Praying!
Praying and knowing that, even now, God is working on your sons heart. We can't see it yet, we can trust this truth.
Praying wisdom and peace over your heart.
You know if your family or friends are saved because they are no longer living in sin and actually like talking about Jesus. 😊
I’m praying for my sons to be saved too, so this is very relevant to me. I’d like to share something with you that I’ve started doing. After years of trying to talk to my adult sons and feeling that it was causing more harm than good, I have turned their salvation over to the Lord. I pray constantly that He will send others to witness to them. That He will do whatever needs to be done to bring them in. And I KNOW that He is able. In the meantime, I’ll love them and serve the Lord with all my heart. God will get ‘em. Praise His name! ❤
The same experience. I pray the same as you. That God will send someone they will listen to. For me it’s son and daughter. ❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️
I am having the same experience too with our son and daughter. I pray everyday, but finally gave it over to the Lord.
@@joyceelmer131Im in the same position. Just found out last nite that my son who “identified “ as gay, now “ identifies” as queer. Now he has started dressing in drag .He married a man 4 years ago… both are heavily involved in the occult. My heart is so grieved, & now I know why he doesn’t want anything to to with me. My daughter hasnt had anything to do with me for 20 years…Both were great kids and loved the Lord…. 😢😢😢
Same issues, my 3 adult sons grew up in church, after college left the church, and churched people.. married like minded women.. Ive had to turn it over to God.. My anguish has affected my health.
Same here
My pastor's wife's father just got Saved and Baptized. She must of prayed for him since she was very young, because he was prayed for for 30 years. Never give up praying for lost love ones and friends.
I've given up. Just too painful. But God has not given up. I guess I gave up but I didn't give up on God giving up. But I have several family members that we prayed for for decades and they never came to Christ.
Great encouragement!
Becket, you are a light in these dark times. God is with you, keep up the good work
Amen!!!
I have watched over and over, the podcast where Beckett read his mother's prayers. I've immersed myself in Christian testimonies, foundational teachings on the "prodigal" found on CZcams, and a lot of Elizabeth Elliot on suffering, reliinquishment, and trust. Also Ruth Graham and the testimony of Walt Shepard, Elizabeth Elliot's son in law. I have learned to absolutely believe all of God's promises, I receive them and believe them, God has all power and authority and HE has the final Word not satan. My faith has been greatly stretched. Keep praying, asking, knocking, praising Him in the pain.
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”
As Becket said near the beginning of the conversation that he couldn't believe he was in the dark for so long, same with me and so many others. The difference between walking in darkness versus in the light is stark. Thst is why it is so painful to see our loved ones still in darkness. I loved the prayer at the end, especially Chynna saying we trust the LORD. The LORD was so patient and long-suffering with me, that i can trust Him to continue to work on the hearts of my loved ones because I have prayed for Him to do so, according to His will that none should parish. Jesus' love is like no other. May all our loved ones and lost strangers and enemies come to know, love, and trust Him, in Jesus' name. 🙏 ✝️❤️ 🔥
Being so public must make the enemy very angry. Praying for you Becket. God is using your life in powerful ways. I pray he blesses you.
Thank you so much for addressing the most difficult issue for all of us as Christians. Lord, please help us to navigate this in a way that brings You glory.
Beckett I’m using the story of your praying mother for years but this is for my oldest grandson. I’m praying he could have an experience like you had and that God will send laborers into the field to sow those seeds as I’ve done for years… 🙏🏻
I speak life and salvation over every family/ friend represented in the comments. Thankyou Lord that you see our burden for our loved ones to be saved. 🙏
Thanks to Becket and Chynna for the discussion 💕
You might want to do an episode on the topic of friends and family members that were very dedicated Christians that are no longer Christian.
I went from being banned from "Jesus talk" with my family, to being queried about it... The Lord's perfect timing - He has a plan. Even then, we don't know who cries out to Him through disease and the shadow of death. We just have to trust.
I’m 55 years old. I had a similar experience like Becket but I came to Christ at age 20. I believe God has a special heart for child SA survivors. That’s why our experience was so dramatic.
My dad was an “agnostic” when he died. It took me ten years to find peace with it. I think he will probably not be in heaven. A friend told me I can hope that in his last moments he called on Jesus. It’s possible, and I hope it’s so. I don’t think it is likely, though.
He was a kind, loving, patient man who loved animals, nature, and children. He was honest and moral and always tried to do the right thing. He just wasn’t sure what to believe about God.
I miss him. He was a good dad. I would be overjoyed to see him again.
Im sorry but why would he not be in Heaven? For just not believing?
@@NickGagnon942 The Gospel (Good News) is simple. We are sinners. We have All broken God's Moral Law and our wages of sin is death. Jesus came as a perfect sacrifice to pay for those wages so that we can receive eternal life.
The problem people have is they do not think that sin is such a big deal, thus they don't see the need for a Saviour and they don't believe a 'good' person doesn't qualify for instant entry into eternal life with God.
To receive this eternal life, we need to first admit we are sinners, we are far from perfect and we cannot earn our salvation. Secondly we need to repent of our sin. Pray for forgiveness for our sinful nature and accept that Jesus Christ is our Saviour and acknowledge that it isn't by our own strength, but only because of Jesus that we are saved.
We also then need to get to know Jesus, through studying His Word. Lastly we need to trust Jesus. Without Jesus we are lost. He is our only way to the Father. The giver of Life!
@@NickGagnon942. Because we are sinners . God will not tolerate sin and it separates us from Him. But He provided a way to be made clean or sinless. The Bible says without the shedding of blood , there is no remission for sins. He also gave us the Bible law to obey , knowing it is impossible to follow so we would need Him. He sent His only son Jesus to shed His own blood in our place. When we believe in this sacrifice , and follow Jesus we are made new or born again as the scriptures refer to it. The evidence of our belief is a changed life. As believers God sees us as sinless and we then get the gift of spending eternity with Him. However in this man’s case the commenter is believing that his dad declared his belief in the moments before death ( as the fellow did next to Jesus on the cross) and is now with the Lord in heaven. I hope that explains .
@@joannabruns529 sorry for the loss of your brother. Its painful to lose a loved one - especially in such a violent way. It’s grace that the Lord provided a way not damnation.
Andreamom001 I’m sorry about your dad and I understand. My dad is 97 and a lifelong atheist. I keep praying for him, but unless something drastic happens soon, he likely will not be in heaven. That breaks my heart, but he will not allow anyone to really talk to him about God. We all have our choice, that is one thing about the Lord, He wants a relationship with those that want Him.
YES! Becket's Prayer List of Friends, Co-workers, etc just like his mom when Becket was not saved. Now, Becket is SAVED!
Thank you for doing this episode. This is the hardest thing about being a believer. When she said “I sometimes think they aren’t getting saved because I am not praying hard enough.” I too have that thought. Both of you are so grounded. Thank you for speaking into the abyss. I heard you. And I too feel the weight. Although He tells us not to worry I really do struggle with the thought of spending eternity without them.
Don’t despair. 💕. And don’t carry false guilt. It’s the Lord who saves!!
Before Chyna said she noticed you are more masculine, I was actually noticing the same thing! A very attractive and unexpected change! God is working on you, Becket, and women are going to start seeing that in you more and more. Who knows what may come? I love how God transforms us!❤❤❤❤❤
I agree!
Can you explain what it is that you are noticing? I am not noticing that and I have been hoping that would happen for Becket. His coming to Christ is such a miracle but he says that he still experiences same sex attraction. We know that when we desire what God hates, it is sin, so I am praying God will remove that from Becket and heal him completely. No doubt Satan tries to oppress Becket because of all the good he is doing for so many people.
@@suehamblin9652Temptation is not sin, only giving in to it and dwelling on it is sin.
We are walking a fine line here. First of all, when Jesus was tempted by Satan, His temptations came from without, not within, because He was perfect. We humans , on the other hand, who have been imputed with Adam’s sin, have fallen, deceitful hearts. Our sins come from within. The Bible’s use of the term desire and lust is the same word. You cannot have a same sex desire that is not sinful. @@cynthiafisher9907
It's subtle but profound! God is working because He never sleeps.😅
Beautiful! May we NEVER give up on our unsaved loved ones! Lord, help us to persevere in faith and prayer till they ALL come to know You! This is our God's heart. He said that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us and will answer us. Let's believe that and never give up.
I have more family coming to Christ ! I have been praying for them all for a verylong time,And more are coming to Christ! Not all yet, But thier coming! A praying mother and grandmother is so important ! I know your mom prayed for you Becket! What a miracle you are ! We all are !And I will say it again! Beckett God has rased you up for such a time as this! God bless you!
Yes, Becket - I have been aware of the personal growth that Chynna has seen also. Her use of the word subtle is perfect. I plan to have another "Becket July" this year, an event where I pray for you throughout the month. ❤
So subtle, it's beautiful to witness. God bless you! 😊
@@ChynnaPhillipsBaldwin Chynna - Becket, as it registered with me... Well, I think that the loser/liar/broken archangel would find Becket to be a fierce head of the household/husband. Also, Becket communicates well and ladies love that, don't we? Happily married here, - 34 years - so I'm not being weird! 😃
I put my son's and my little granddaughter's life in the hands of the Lord, day after day.... He is gracious, he is merciful and trustworthy. He loves us, like a good shepherd he will find us - who can resist his magnificence? God bless you and your loved ones, Beckett and Chyna!
"It's about radical surrender... I radically surrender my children, my husband, my mom, my dad, (etc) to You. It's an act of faith and God loves that." Thank you so much, exactly what I needed to hear!
Susan, I like that phrase radical surrender!!
WOW!!! I was so encouraged by this message!!!! Tears filled my eyes as I listened to the fervent prayers of Chynna and Becket. 🙏🏼❤️
4.53 "Hold on for one more day" 😂🤣
Very subtle!
Did nobody else catch that reference to Chynna's huge hit single (Wilson Phillips was the group)? 😅❤
Thank you to you both for that prayer. It really encouraged me. I’ve been so sad over one of my children and this helped me so much to have hope.
I appreciate this ministry so much! It is more than just a CZcams channel. Thank you, Becket and Chynna for your courage and boldness to talk about Christ. I bless you and your family.
Thank you and happy Sunday angel 😇
Important topic..and getting more Serious as our society/culture continues to Unravel dramatically.💯
Becket this was so encouraging and timely to hear as a mother of prodigals. It can be very discouraging when the world system and the prince of the air are working hard to pull them away. Also timely as I just watched Jack Hibbs with Barry Meguiar last night about sharing love with the lost. Then the topic of Hell came up and it brought such an awakening in my spirit. Thank you for all that you are being led to do for the kingdom in sharing your heart, experiences and always having the best guests on!! May Jesus continue to work through you.
Thank you Beckett and Chynna for your bravery and honesty in spreading the Gospel. You are blessings from God.
Thank you, a fresh encouragement to prayer, needed and helpful. Sister’s partner died suddenly last week, so much prayer needed to love with grace and truth. Acts 17:26-27, “the times and places they would live so that they would reach out and find Him, though He is not far from each of us.”
This verse, a place of prayer and rest for many years. Plz pray🙏🏼, assuredly, He is working.🙌
Praying for everyone here🙏Also the show❤more power!🙏💪
I hope the Lord brings me some friends like you guys! Everyone around me is so tired of all my Jesus talk and Jesus prayers and Jesus everything- thank you for helping me to see that there are some like minded people in the world!
I agree with Chynna. I see every week when I watch your Chanel how you are changing. It’s very subtle, but it’s like more and more of Jesus is shining through.
Purim has started as I writing this. I've always loved that line from Esther; "for times such as these". My great uncle Jacob was in Moscow in March, 1953, when Joseph Stalin died-on Purim; putting a stop to a Soviet supported pogram against the Jewish people.
Thanks for the response, Becket. I suspect that there is a meaning to Palm Sunday, 2024, being on the same day as Purim, 2024 (3-24-2024). And today is Greek Independence Day (3-25-2024). That reminds me of what Paul said in Romans: "First to the Jews and then to the Greeks"!
B Chet, you are such a bright and beautiful light for Jesus, keep shining and NEVER GIVE UP. I Love you both and appreciate you both so so so much. Be Blessed
I love “Radical Surrender “ of loved ones. I relate to this 100%. Thanks Beckett and Chyna.
Yes! The “radical” part is the key 🔑!
The LORD's timing never ceases to amaze me. As I "grieve deeply, but not despairingly" (#JohnPiper), just this morning the LORD impacted my heart tremendously to trust Him with my spiritually lost loved ones. And then I listened to your podcast this morning...and the message of hope that rang out so strongly....thank you. ❤ My heart was so encouraged this morning and then again as the LORD used you to reinforce what He impressed on me earlier today. May God continue to bless and direct both of you mightily.
It’s so great how evangelical you both still are, have not lost the fire! God bless you both
Thank you for your amazing show🙏! Watching you from Eilat, Israel☺
We
Love
Your
Country!!!!!!
Peace of Christ 🙏
This was a beautiful podcast session! Thank you both for using your platform to share Christ with so many people! You are truly used of God so save others from hell! 🙏✝️✝️🙏
Lighthouses! Thank you both for honoring the Lord Jesus Christ and His Gospel Message. This is how we prepare our world for His return! ❤️🙏❤️😘
I had to leave this comment. I'm so glad that Chynna brought out the change that she sees in Becket. I have noticed it too. I even mentioned it to my husband. The first time I saw Becket he was on Focus on the Family--years ago and there were negative comments about how he presented. I defended you, Becket. People can be so mean and rude. Why were they not focused on what God did for Becket? It's very different now. Masculine is the word. Praise God! I pray that you are blessed with a godly wife! I'm smiling from ear to ear! I'm glad that Chynna brought this up and Becket didn't even notice his change.🥲
I love to hear Chyna speak on praying in the Spirit
I’m praying mainly for my daughter and brother, who are not believers
Chynna said "hold on for one more day" and I lost it 😂
I vividly remember the day when I heard Beckett’s testimony. I was crazy lost trying to deliver a DoorDash order (somehow my GPS got switched to bicycle mode!) and listening on the radio. I was sobbing and wanted to know what verse your sister in law prayed for you. Later after the order finally got delivered I was able to look up Acts 26:18. I try to remember to pray that for my family, friends and strangers. God is good and hears our prayers. I am forever grateful for hearing your testimony about how she prayed for you. May we all pray that Jesus would “open the eyes of their hearts and turn them from darkness to light, from the power of Satan to the power of God that they may receive forgiveness for their sins and find a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Him.” 13:30
The hardest thing in my life is to have lost loved ones who were not walking with Jesus
Lord, thank YOU for Beckett and Chynna, the discussion, the prayers, the LOVE. We are grateful for their dedication and know that you are so proud of them. In Jesus Name, Alleulia, Amen.
Thank you for encouraging us to keep witnessing to friends.
Amen to this sister in Christ what she doing preach the gospel to every creature
“But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them”. 2 Corinthian 4:4,5
We must continue praying for our lost friends and family . It’s very hard when I don’t see any change.
I remember Becket, you had a friend in ICU? and you were trying to go and see him or something.. and that you asked us to pray. I never forgot that story.. but sadly, I forgot your friend’s name but I know God knows who I’m talking about. I am praying for that friend of yours. Jesus definitely loves him.
The most powerful thing you can do is pray. And there is a communion of saints who pray always on our behalf.
Thank you Chynna for your advice “ to believe in what I do not see”. I do pray “I do believeLord, help my unbelief.” The Lord has given me the orders to be an intercessor since I was 13. I’m now 90. He has assigned me to pray for those who have no one to pray for them. It is so much easier to pray for those who you do not know. Thank to Becket and you for your prayers.❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Thank you both so much. Thank you for the encouragement Chynna!
Thank you for having this conversation. ❤😇
Becket as a sister in Christ, I can see that you're in the midst of a trying season. The Lord is putting a lot of us Christians in the refiner's fire right now because He needs to strengthen us for what's to come. Us Christians can sense a shift in the world and it feels a bit unsettling. Hang in there and prayers sent your way.
I identify with your words so much.Refiners Fire YES
There are a lot of us Christians in it right now! All praise and glory to God because we are on the righteous team! Welcome any refinement because that just means that after you get through it, you'll be even more amazing! Praise God!
You both are such sweet, gentle, innocent children of our Father. His consistent and persistent love that got us all exudes through you as you chit chat ever so lightly through raspberries and coconuts 😊 It’s a different kind of exhortation listening to you. Love you both as if I know you. May the Lord keep blessing you even more!
🎉 yummy!!!! Ha can we join you in your snack time ?
@@ChynnaPhillipsBaldwin Ha ha. Would love to, east coast. My snack time consists of blackberries, blueberries, red and green grapes, a spoonful of whole fat yoghurt and a little bit of chocolate (nit recommending it) as I live in His praises and worship as I work all day long. And some geopolitics and economics for an earthly mix :) :)
The spirit of the world is so intense. Becket, I am so thankful for you and so proud of you as a brother . And Chynna you are a delightful sister.
Thank you Holy Spirit for this encouraging time with Becket and Chynna. ❤
Love to see Becket and Chynna together ❤❤❤
Very awesome conversation. I'm praying for certain people in my "village" daily, and at the same time God is purifying my heart. It's hard work and wonderful !!
💕💔💝👍🏆✨
A friend of mine was also baptised in my bathtub.
I love the Jesus waiting room. My husband is one of the occupants.
I’m so amazed at Becket’s story of sitting in a little coffee shop in L.A. and a bible study group sits next to you ! As Ray Comfort often conveys they gave you a parachute in a plane that was able to go down.
Thank you for this encouraging episode. It’s so hard knowing the people you love don’t know the life changing love of God. They just go along and store up God’s wrath like we did before being saved.
I appreciate both of you so much. GBY
🙏🥹❤️🔥
🕊️Maranatha 🕊️
So glad to see you both together. It's hard when family doesn't "get it". All we can do is pray, pray and pray more for their salvation.
Thank 🙇 u!
I will be watching this tomorrow (it's late night in UK). I have a good few family members that are unsaved and am praying daily for them. Thank you both so much!
Holy Hugs Charles, was saddened to hear of your princesses diagnosis. We walked through the cancer journey with our son Vance. I'll be praying for Catherine, along with millions of others❤
🙏🏼brother-son-grandson🙏🏼 thank you so much for sharing and being so open. Your prayers were a blessing to my soul. I know God’s word will not return void. I know those men in my life will know Jesus. They have been raised hearing His name, I just pray they are given the opportunity to surrender before there is no opportunity. 🙏🏼 bless both of you in your work and ministry. 💜🤗☺️
Thank you for praying for all the unsaved people in our lives -family and friends. Pray for a change in those who are saved but not putting you first in their lives.
🌿🦋🌿 Love You Two Together ! Such Synergy ! A wonderfully renewed ‘Will’ & the rebirth of ‘Grace’ ~ Taking the many prayer requests in the comments to heart & to the FATHER 🌿🦋🕊🦋🌿
I am praying for my adult children and grandchildren
Thanks for this vlog it is so relatable. I've been praying incessantly for my love ones most specially for my family members that they will also accept Christ as their saviour and will also know the truth. Some of them are lukewarm and some are buddhist. It hurts to know that not all will be saved but i believe in our God's plan and we just need to be faithful as He is to us.
This conversation needs to be had over and again amongst believers (and turned to prayer like we've seen here demonstrated, thank you). Christians are called to stand in the gap in this world (this means we hold in tension the goodwill towards others and trust in what people profess balanced with the fruit we discern, and do our part to evangelize/disciple as open doors allow, but then bring it all to the Lord, (trusting in His ultimate work). I am glad to hear firsthand that Chynna is saved; you hear rumors or see soundbytes about people in the limelight, but sometimes not sure, and I am not "in the know" pop-culturally. Never give up on people even if they shut down...
Becket I totally agree with what Chynna said about you growing in your masculinity...I also experienced that personally, God redeems our masculine self to grow into the men he wants us to be🙌🏻
I’m so blessed that Chynna made that observation about you Becket because I sensed a physical change in you also.
🎉 isn't it beautiful to witness?
@@ChynnaPhillipsBaldwinYes! We are transformed from the inside, out!
This was a beautiful video. It has been in my heart and mind about all of my unsaved family and friends. I loved learning how both of you approach and deal with it. And thank you both for the beautiful prayer at the end.
Thank you so much for covering this topic….we all have wonderful unsaved people in our lives and seeing them so closed off to Jesus is heartbreaking
I've watched or listened to both of you off and on over the years... It's been awhile. The Lord drew me to this tonight....
Thank you so much, Becket and Chynna. I needed to hear your discussion yesterday and today.
You both are so encouraging! Great conversation!❤️🙏🏻🕊
Thank you Becket!!! And Chynna this was a great video! You both are Sooo genuine in your love for our love Lord Jesus!!!
Please keep doing what you’re both doing❣️❣️❣️🥰🥰🥰
I am walking through this, praying for my children and unsaved nieces and nephews. I highly recommend Stormie O’Martian’s books: The Power of Praying for Your Adult Children and her other books. They are filled with praying scripture and biblical truths over your children and loved ones. Every time I pray with scripture I am so filled with faith to believe for them. This helps me walk out the joy of the Lord and my faith in Christ before them, instead of walking in fear. This is a powerful testimony to them and draws them to Christ.
Beckett God bless all the work you are doing. I’m a kiddo from the 70’s and was so excited about Jesus. I have 6 kids and 3 don’t believe in Jesus. Your love for the Lord is infectious, and renewing. Thank you for bringing to my remembrance how important it is to walk in the Spirit daily. 😊
Thank you both for a very encouraging word 💙. Good to remember that we are not in this alone!
Thank you for all of this advice! As always, I learned a lot from you ❤ I just got home from CA…. I was in Simi Valley for the Little House on the Prairie 50th Anniversary Celebration Festival! My friends and I were driving around LA area and I saw your church 😊 My husband and I visited there last July and hoped to meet you…. we appreciate your ministry so much! Thanks, Becket!!!!
What a timely video. Sunday at church I saw someone who reminded me of a graduate school colleague I had prayed for way back in graduate school but who is not in my life anymore. We had some spiritual conversations and he was at least not adversarial towards me, but described himself as agnostic. Anyway, I was reminded to pray for him as well as another guy from graduate school who was respectful toward me but questioned my faith. Finally, the third friend is a current coworker who I probably have had fewer spiritual conversations with although some. He is one of my favorite coworkers but is lost and sometimes mocking of religious things. I do know some of the hurts he has experienced so I can pray for those, but I know I need to ask God to open all their hearts. I started crying for God to have mercy on them. I used to be more specific and intentional about praying for the lost, but this time I was just in tears to God for them. A few years ago, I learned a friend had died and my first thought was, "I don't know if he was saved." He went to church and was about the ceremony and tradition but I didn't see signs that he took God's word seriously. . He was a tough Italian, New Yorker living in the Bible belt so he was reluctant to really open up about faith. I also am not as direct about asking as I was when I was younger. In my 20s I would actively seek opportunities to share my faith, and now I barely am ready to share beyond the basics if someone were to out right ask. One of the greatest things that could happen in my earthly life would be for my work buddy to get saved. And other than being in the presence of God and my Saviour for eternity, finding out in heaven my friend Walter was saved would be the best!
This was, as China prayed "such an important discussion". Our prayers for the salvation of our dear ones is never wasted. We must persist in such prayers, handing over to the Lord any obsessive tendencies, fears, desires for control that we have because it is all a work of the grace of our Sovereign God. I have been led by the Spirit to pray daily for strangers who pass by my home, as well as the "familiar list of petitions" I have for many friends and even more family members who do not appear to walk with the Lord in newness of life. This instruction from the Lord has helped me to leave with Him His plans and accept His timing. I related to every point made in this timely conversation and I agree with China's observation about you, Becket, even though I'm on the other side of the world and have never met you. What a blessing this video was. Thank you both. 🙏❤
😅 So true right? The change is subtle but profound.
Another awesome video, much appreciated. I have decided ( also lead to believe that this is from the Holy Spirit) to boast about God's goodness and just testify what God has done is one way to witnesses to my family. Thanks Becket for your faithfulness and your enthusiasm and your love for Jesus . May our Lord and Savior protect you and overwhelm you with His goodness
Off topic, but Becket, it is so wonderful to see your smile and hear your laugh as you and your friend talk about the LORD. How wonderful. The conversation between you two warmed my heart so much, it brought tears to my eyes. Your broadcast brings hope. Thank you and your guests. ❤😢
My MIL was saved several months ago at 50 years old!!! Unbelievable testimony. The transformation of the Holy Spirit in her life made her do a complete 180. Made me realize we should never stop hoping or praying for my other unsaved loved ones, including my mom.
Thanks, Becket, for this episode. I have been going through a deep deep valley the last year. Pray I have the joy of sharing Jesus and focusing on the eternal again instead of the dying things in this world. Thank you for the reminder of storing up our treasures in heaven by doing things that matter eternally.
Thank you for this encouraging time. It is so hard having family and friends that you do pray for.....for decades literally..... I have had to accept my job is to drop the crumbs, be the best exaple I can be and just shamelessly honor this God we serve......
