History of the Gay Movement with Becket Cook

Join us as we welcome back Becket Cook, an influential Christian author and speaker whose journey from a gay activist to faith has inspired many. Becket’s path from the world of Hollywood to faith has made him a powerful voice in the conversation around LGBTQ issues and Christianity.

In this episode, we'll explore the evolution of LGBTQ ideology, delving into its philosophical roots and modern-day perspectives. Through historical analysis, literary reflection, and scriptural insights, this episode traces the cultural shifts from the 18th-century Romantic poets to Freud’s theories and beyond. We’ll unpack the popular narratives surrounding identity, love, and sexuality, contrasting them with Christian teachings. Discover ways to compassionately engage with LGBTQ individuals while upholding biblical convictions, offering pastoral guidance and heartfelt encouragement for navigating today’s complex social landscape.

Join us Monday, Oct 28 at 4:00 p.m. CDT / UTC-5!

Chimeras: Mythical Creatures or Demons?

What’s the deal with chimeras in the Bible? Are they just myths, demon descriptions, or something way stranger? In this episode, we'll dig into the ancient texts, including the Septuagint, to track down satyrs, sirens, dragons, and yes, even the infamous Leviathan. Could these creatures be the result of pre-flood genetic experiments? Were they spawned from divine-human mingling gone wrong? Or are they clever political metaphors from the prophets? We’ll throw out theories, explore ancient Jewish thoughts, and see if these “chimeras” were real beasts or symbolic warnings.

Join us Wednesday, Oct 30 at 4:00 p.m. CDT / UTC-5!

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Have a theology question? Drop it here. While we can't guarantee we'll tackle every question, we'll dive into one or two each week. So, fire away and let's explore together!

Several similar questions received (paraphrased): How should I respond to believers who say they don’t need to attend church?

Answer: We always want to speak truth in love and humility as well as show people Christ’s love. Pray for opportunities to do this and take action when opportunities arise. What life events are they experiencing where the church can help? Can a meal train be coordinated through your small group? Can a yard be mowed? Can you help in an emergency? Also consider inviting them into community-type events at your church so they can first connect with believers in a more causal way. Finally, knowing the Biblical reasons why we should attend church is also important, and the following short clip will help you with this theology.

SHOWS LAST WEEK:

If you missed joining the Live Chat, you can still catch the episodes:

Introduction to Apologetics: Interview with Dr. William Lane Craig

Join us for an exciting conversation with renowned Christian theologian Dr. William Lane Craig as we explore his foundational book, Apologetics: An Introduction. Originally published in 1984, this work remains deeply relevant for Christians today. In a world filled with philosophies that challenge the Christian faith, Craig offers a clear, rational defense of two central pillars: the existence of God and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We’ll dive into how these themes equip believers to stand firm in their faith and respond thoughtfully to critics. Don’t miss this insightful interview!

The Devil: Reality or Metaphor?

Is Satan real? Does the devil actually exist? In this episode, we'll examine the biblical portrayal of the Satan. Is it a title, an actual being, or merely a personification of evil? We’ll examine Scripture, looking at passages that present Satan as a real entity, such as his interaction with Jesus in the wilderness (Matthew 4) and his presence in the story of Job. At the same time, we’ll engage in a thoughtful debate about whether these depictions are simply a metaphor for the force of evil in the world. Is the Satan an actual being or just a symbol of evil? Join us as we tackle this debate!

REPLAY:

Christians Discuss Homosexuality: Interview with Becket Cook

Here is Becket Cook’s original interview with Remnant Radio, discussing his journey from gay activist to Christian believer. His mission is to challenge prevailing cultural views on sexuality, particularly regarding homosexuality, by sharing his journey and biblical insights. Through his personal testimony, he aims to show that, yes, Scripture upholds traditional views on sexuality, and that a life dedicated to following Christ brings deep joy and fulfillment.
