    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.

      @vickikunetka1111 Před rokem +34

      Now *that* is a testimony. In this age when everyone regards sex as a right (masking “license” for “liberty”) your life is a true example of a godly relationship.
      You could choose to live life as a heterosexual and proclaim yourself healed. Instead, you chose to live honestly and took to Christ to fulfill all your needs.
      And celibacy is indeed a gift from God. I believe He has called you to a higher service and this gift enables you to focus on your ministry.
      There may be a time that He will call you a romantic relationship with a holy commitment. And if/when He does, all those feelings of sexual desire will be restored.
      But in whatever your state, you are “taking up your cross” daily. What an awesome example of a godly life well lived.

    I had that same healing experience that Chynna had, like a holy scan going through my body from my head to my toes, and my severe, chronic back pain went away. I was ina prayer group and we were praying for another person's knee. My back hurt so much that I could not get up to lay hands so I just sat. I was healed by praying for someone else! I was very confused by that, kept pressing on my back, getting up/down during fellowship/dessert which followed. It was a couple years before I figured out that God works in His own way and He knew I needed pain relief but blessed me for caring and praying for someone else before me.

    My sister & I were so fortunate.
    Our parents were not wealthy, famous or highly educated. But they were kind, loving, and totally committed to Jesus, us, and each other.
    I had no trouble accepting that God really loved me. I knew what real love looked like. I saw what spiritual discipline looked like. I saw Christian virtues modeled daily before me.
    As we have grown older, we have come to realize just how rare our experiences were. That is very sad. Every child deserves to have great Christian parents!
    Good on Chyna! God is so Gracious & Merciful. When she made Jesus her Lord, a real Covenant was Cut with the Blood of Jesus. Even though she was walking in ignorance, God took His Covenant Relationship seriously!

      I think she was making fun of her nanny sprinkling her with the Holy water and having pictures of Mary everywhere and Becket was smiling in consent.
      If that salvation prayer cleansed this lady of all the negative things in her body then all the Protestants would be saints. 🤔
      Becket mentioned in one of his podcasts that he was saved bc his mother was constantly praying for him and she was a Catholic and most probably she prayed the Rosary.

      Study the differences of what they teach as apposed to what the Bible teaches. Do you know the Catholic Church changed the 10 Commandments to suit their ways. That’s one of many things that are so wrong. Seek the truth and it will set you free.

      Scripturally speaking, the “saints” are the body of Christ, Christians, the church. All Christians are considered saints. All Christians are saints-and at the same time are called to be saints. First Corinthians 1:2 states it clearly: “To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy…” The words “sanctified” and “holy” come from the same Greek root as the word that is commonly translated “saints.” Christians are saints by virtue of their connection with Jesus Christ. Christians are called to be saints, to increasingly allow their daily life to more closely match their position in Christ. This is the biblical description and calling of the saints.
      How does the Roman Catholic understanding of “saints” compare with the biblical teaching? Not very well. In Roman Catholic theology, the saints are in heaven. In the Bible, the saints are on earth. In Roman Catholic teaching, a person does not become a saint unless he/she is “beatified” or “canonized” by the Pope or prominent bishop. In the Bible, everyone who has received Jesus Christ by faith is a saint. In Roman Catholic practice, the saints are revered, prayed to, and in some instances, worshiped. In the Bible, saints are called to revere, worship, and pray to God alone.

      @@betrion7 I was raised Lutheran christian and our belief was that saints were not to be prayed to in order to intervene for us on behalf of Christ...but instead we could go directly to Christ for prayer.
      There is a long history of catholicism and how and why the first churches were ran in a certain way...and how eventually people were able to began breaking from those traditions and therefore being able to closer follow the Christ of the bible...have no gods before me and have no idols is pretty obvious, that's not rocket science and doesn't take a genius to understand what that means...don't pray to saints or statures or Mary or any other god and certainly do not worship those things above me.
      For some reason this is still not understood in catholic teachings and it confuses me as to why Catholics still pray to saints...I have a deep love for nuns and monks who actually give up so much because they love their religion, that takes a lot of willpower and trust, yet I'm confused as to how they pray to statues and saints when the bible so clearly teaches us not to....it's almost like Christ knew what was coming in the churches after his crucifixion and was warning against it. ( Which of course he knew what was coming)

    Thank you for this interview. It was such a blessing to watch Chynna speak about her faith in Jesus. She is truly blessed to have a network of support for her faith in Jesus, particularly with her in-laws. She should also take comfort in the fact that she’s a real, huge blessing to her husband, even though he is still not “there” yet. He will see Jesus one day, mainly because of her.
    I have been wondering about my own life, how our God wants me to live in the next few years. I just found out I have a triple whammy of trouble in my spine. I might require surgery in the future. Never thought I’d live with so much pain. But I do believe God isn’t done with me yet. I have two hilar en (ages 14 and 12) whom I must guide towards Jesus, and I need Jesus more than ever. I don’t know where I’m going wrong, but my children need to see that Jesus is The Only Way and that the popular culture they’re exposed to is a Big, Fat Lie. And I don’t have a lot of support.

      Aren't "they," according to the Bible, us? According to the Word of God, there isn't separation of sinners from Christian believers in the presence of God's Holiness (Isaiah 6). Does the scripture share public importance of us judging someone's eternity from our earthly lenses? Remembering Hebrews 12:4, it reminds us that none of us will KNOW we are truly Christ's (even though we absolutely believe we are saved from the penalty of death - Romans 10:8-10.) until it involves a choice to choose death in Christ while someone is causing blood drawn harm, simply because they found out we are Christians. Yes, the definition of Christianity; yielded to the spiritual death process prescribed for those surrendered to the blood of Jesus Christ in their heart and the heart's mind. (Romans 8:36). We must not be a distraction to those who have an opportunity to receive the same UNDERSERVED PRIVILEGE we have through adoption. (Romans 5:1 NLT).

    Jesus made the only way,

    For that blessed day,
    When the trumpet’s soundin?
    With the archangel’s voice,

    God’s kingdom will rejoice!
    Stopped going to a church,
    He’s only in my heart today,
    Well, I got down on my knees,
    And I began to pray,
    Lord Jesus count me to be worthy,
    He knows I’m gonna obey,
    Lookin up to heaven,
    For such a blessed day!

    Memories, as I wait for the SONlight,
    Hallelujah, the King will come, Hallelujah.
    Oh God we love you Lord,
    We love you Lord,
    Our Savior, we adore,
    Oh God we love you Lord,
    We love you Lord, the King…
    All the leaves are green,
    And the sky is blue,
    I’ve been on a walk,
    Holy Spirit’s the way,
    As I sit here longin,
    I could leave today.

    China you and I had the same mother experience, and we have had a lot of the same childhood experiences. Jesus came to me at 27 in such a real way... it's changed me in so many ways.. I'm so thankful for His love

    I am enjoying this lovely lady sharing with us her wonderful story. I gave my life to the Lord way back when I was in my late teens. to this day I have never had that true inner change, that deep cleansing and transformation. I seek that deep connection with Christ. To truly experience Him and not just go through the motions of been a Christian

    I found myself smiling throughout this broadcast. It was so good to see the joy and infectious spontaneity erupting in you both. I love Chynna! Peace of Christ!

    Chynna: I just have to say, that the two movies I know you were in, Some Kind of Wonderful and Say Anything, were NOT cheesy and are two of my fave movies of the 1980s! :-D
