I came to faith in Christ at 14. I spent a lot of time in the Scriptures during that time, and it was so helpful. You can imagine how surprising it was for a small town Christian to attend university and be exposed to so much immorality. As a virgin in the secular college context, I was treated like a real human oddity. "You WANT to remain a virgin?? You'll change that attitude someday!". Thank God I didn't follow the world. I have been married for thirty years to a Christian woman, and I'm so thankful I don't have the regrets that I've heard from others. God's word will guide you away from the world's corruption, and, if you have fallen, will guide you back into God's grace. God made us, and knows what is right for us.
Hi Becket! I'm a missionary in Sweden, and we just had Sam's book translated into Swedish, and he's coming over in September to do a tour in Sweden, sharing his story and meeting and encouraging pastors here. Please pray for us as things are hotting up here. Most denominations have either moved away or are heading quickly from a traditional understanding of marriage and sexuality. This issue is dividing historically evangelical churches. We need Biblical clarity and grace upon grace on this issue. Thanks for your ministry.
This is the first time I have heard Sam speak. He is so eloquent about our and Christ's relationship with our bodies. You guys honestly said things I've never heard before about sin and the body. I understood why I shouldn't be smoking. I've been trying to quit for 15 years. I stopped yesterday. I feel so happy, so free. I have never felt this before. Thank you Beckett and Sam. Thank you Jesus.
I first heard Sam speak and share his powerful testimony a few years ago when he was in Hamilton, Ontario. So having both of you here, I’m very happy to hear and listen to you both. Thank you for sharing Christ in your lives! You are both inspiring and I pray you continue to grow in Christ’s ministry. This is a great message that you share! You guys are two of my favourite people ☺️
It’s hard to believe how even lost people could possibly think that indiscriminate premarital sex wouldn’t have extremely destructive effects on you mentally, emotionally, and even physically. We know of course it has enormous spiritual damage as well.
I was wildly sexual as a young adult driven by brokeness and anger created by having a bad father. These attitudes blinded me - lust blinded me! It's amazing how dark my life was and how miraculous salvation and being in love with Jesus is!
Lewis yes! I live with my past doing this and it was empty. I felt that I was giving a piece of my soul with every premarital sexual encounter. I even did that with my present husband and got pregnant. We've been together for 35 years but I'll never know if he married me because of my pregnancy or not. I also never got the wedding girls dream of. I admire ppl who wait!
Every hair on my arms stood up when you said the number 7 represents completion and the woman at the well was on her 6th partner and Jesus was to be number 7. Eeeeeeeek!!! I just GOT IT!!!! MIND BLOWN!🤯🤯🤯 Also, everything you described in gay relationships looks like idolatry and CAN occur in heterosexual relationships, too. I know a Christian widow who has started dating again. She's dating a non-christian and I can't help but feel sad that all that God promises to give her, she would prefer to compromise and obtain those things from a non-christian.♥️🇨🇦
My friend says she's a Catholic and moved in with her best friend who's a guy, his wife and two kids. They live together and she considers herself as a sister wife!
Pray for her and try to encourage her to leave. I know that my aunt did that too and Al doesn't believe in God and I don' think she went to church after they got married. It's sad to know! She could have been used by God to share the gospel. I don't know what happened honestly in their relationship. It is not a good idea to be unequally yoked! Plain and simple!
Thanks guys, truly good conversation. I think it was Christopher Yuan that said, “the pursuit of purity is not the suppression of lust, but in the re-orientation of a life with a larger goal and aspiration. “. You both exemplify that truth.
What an uplifting and wholesome talk on such a degraded topic in our days and culture and in a very winsome way!! This message gives me enduring joy and motivation for godliness. Thank you both of you so much!! Much respect to you!!
Aw Beckett, I found myself wishing that for you as well!!!! But your story has not been wasted! The Lord has and will continue to use it for His glory❤️
I listened to this via podcast just now as I watered my garden! Love a Becket Cook episode to make every boring chore something want to keep doing for hours 😆 Thank you Becket for having Sam on your show. I first heard Sam speak in our church in New Zealand via video and I remember thinking "this guy knows what he's talking about" and was so pleased to see you were interviewing him here and was really blown away. Such an important topic, an excellent discussion, helping all of us to understand Gods truth in this. Thank you very much Sam and Becket for all you do!
Another spiritual excavation of precious gems! I feel like a little kid with a plastic shovel and pail playing in a sandbox by comparison. THANK YOU AND ALL YOUR POWERFUL AMAZING GUESTS/FRIENDS!!👏🏼👏🏼✝️💟
This is just amazing and soooo true!!! You both are EXACTLY biblical in all of your attitudes toward sex. I married late in life, and by God’s grace remained a virgin for that time, but grew so much closer to Jesus during that time (through tears oftentimes though!) because He deeply convicted me of the BEAUTIFUL truth that HE IS MORE AND ALL THAT I NEED! Many Christians don’t TRULY believe that. I am now married and love my precious godly husband - we are very close and have a very healthy and fulfilling sex life but doesn’t touch what we both have in CHRIST!!! There is NO relationship that even touches knowing THE KING OF THE UNIVERSE, as you said, Beckett. You are both a GLORY TO GOD!! The TRUTH is so beautiful - Jesus is all we need!
I agree with you about waiting until marraige. I still haven't found the one. I was sexually abused by 2 men from age 3 on to 17! It's a terible thing to go thru because they both perverted me! The fact is that I went thru hell! But God helped me get thru and not turn to drugs etc. I am unable to get into any kind of relationship with men! I just cannot. Please pray for me though I still struggle with the perversion they taught me! It is hard to get thru this and walk away! I feel like Satan keeps trying to draw me in! I don't want to feel these disgusting things or have the memories of how I used to think. I want to walk away and I am praying for help and I'm asking other's to pray.
@@MSBowen-pk6ww God will be faithful, just cling to His truth!! He will use all you have been through for your GOOD!! And He had no hand in it but uses all for good to those who love Him❤️❤️ will be praying for you - for strength, wisdom and others for support but HE ALONE is your best friend and Healer!!
@@melissaschubert1653 it doesn’t fail but not everyone gets marriage so it’s nice to think they will because YOU did. But many single people are trusting and patient and still no marriage. But suffering in singleness. Of course they are patient, if they weren’t, they would have married everyone. Single peoples patience deserves to be recognised the way that married people are treated as good Christians without even doing anything.
Like you brother Beckett, I wish I was spared all the “inappropriate” relationships and the heartbreaks I had before coming to faith! The list was long for me and I just continually to gave myself away. If only I’d known my worth and my Jesus back then… But God knew the exact day I’d respond to HIS love 😢😢😢♥️
Compelling! I'm currently reading "What God Has to Say about Our Bodies: How the Gospel Is Good News for Our Physical Selves" and do hope you have Sam on again.
I was first introduced to Sam Allberry when I was searching for a way to explain why being "born this way" does not define us. His answer to a question about transgender issues was at once both the wisest and most gentle response I'd heard. So glad to sit in on this conversation!
Good discussion and very deep at times. Becket, you made an epic statement when you said that when you notice an attractive person in public and your mind starts to go there, it's really you trying to get closer to Jesus. I'm going to pray about that as I still struggle with that.
Only halfway through, but this is revolutionary. Jesus offers continual care, concern, strengthening and healing to all who have been so deeply wounded by all kinds of sin. By His wounds we are healed. Thank you for having this conversation. Praise God.
Becket, most of my comments start out with "This is such an important video." I realize they really are all important. Thank you for tackling these subjects. God bless you.
Becket - I know we say this all the time BUT, these shows just are consistently EXCELLENT! Sam explains things in a simple, yet powerful way. I had never looked at Hollywood as having “sexual boundaries” as well……. And if one doesn’t think so just look at all the divorces over infidelity that go on in Hollywood. What a gift you both have in this area of “communicating truth”……..thank you!
Thank you so much for having Sam on, Becket! I just recently discovered your channel, your work. It is helping me in my healing, on my way back to Jesus. I appreciate it very much! Your message, Sam's message is so vital and relavent for heterosexuals too. Praise God!🥰
Thank you so much for making videos like this. Everything said in this video is so important for people to hear and it's a blessing that you are putting this out into the world, especially as someone who has experienced the extreme emotional damage the "sexual liberation" culture has on us. I wish I had heard something like this when I was younger and so I hope this message of sexual reservation becomes more prevalent in our degenerate generation. Thank you Becket!
Hey, Sam Allberry is 4 1/2 hours from Knoxville, Tennessee where I live and from in East TN! Really enjoyed listening to Sam speak. People who think Christians are stifled sexually shows the true ignorance they have of God's word. The scales need to be lifted from their eyes. Christ freed women! Only Christ can fulfill that longing in our hearts and we can't depend on any human being to make us complete. We have to love Christ and love ourselves as Christ would want us to and I think that is the key to having a healthy relationship with a husband or wife when you have peace in Christ and are equally yoked and have Christ at the center of the marriage and relationship. I love these verses: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 New International Version 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV / 555 helpful votes Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19 ESV / 388 helpful votes Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 ESV / 348 helpful votes Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple. 1 Corinthians 3:16 ESV / 248 helpful votes Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? I LOVE THESE PASSAGES IN SCRIPTURE!!!! Sums up why we are to remain pure in body and spirit unmarried and married. Was wondering if you ever have met Ray Comfort from New Zealand. Lives in L.A. and delivers the word to people on the streets of L.A. and Venice Beach and I'm sure many places there I'm not familiar with. Thank you both for sharing the truth to everyone and I never get tired of hearing the Word of God from two beautiful souls which are both of you! God bless you brothers in Christ!
Intimacy… and a life long commitment to one who will not dessert us. Singles in Christ are blessed because there is no where else to turn but Jesus. So we turn to him and find peace, contentment and joy in this life as well as the promise of eternal life in paradise. This is one of Beckett’s best shows.
THANK YOU for talking about this subject. We Christians don't drink, don't smoke , don't hangout with people who do BUT we have sex outside of marriage😒
That one bothers me so much! Fornication is evil maybe not as bad as Sodomy! The fact is though we are to wait! Sadly I wasn't given a choice. I was molested by the first pervert at 3 years old and later on moved back to Maine and from 9 years old on to 17 I was abused by another man! I never had a chance! I am still fighting perverions. But I can't have sex! I can't trust men! I can't let down my guard! I am waiting until marraige. And as far as I am concerned I am a virgin! I didn't get a choice as a child abused the way I was. It took me a long time to heal up and find peace! God helped me realized I needed to forgive not for their sakes but my own. The two of them either are dead or went to jail. I know that much. I know that sexual abuse leaves you scared. At 5 years old I Thought I was a freak when I'd do things to myself. It was because of the abuse! What five year old thinks that way? Right? It's just a sad and hard time in my life and I feel terrible for anyone who suffered the same way. I am asking you to pray for me to stop having the perverted thoguhts that all I am good for is sex. That's all women are meant for or that I am some kind of whore who liked it! Of course not but when you are told that and abused that way you don't understand that it's not right that it's not ok and that it is not who you are! God spared me from getting into random hook ups or alcoholic or drugs! He helped me realized it would just not help! That it would not be ok!
Still binge watching your vids!! This one, WOW. Profound and deep and meaty and I just enjoyed it all!!! The part about Jesus being the woman at the well's husband NUMBER 7 just blew me away!! Never thought of that before!!
I love Sam! I read his 'Is God anti-gay' book (which recently came out in Polish 😉) Glad to see him on your channel. I also love YOU Beckett! When I read your testimony as described in your biography I could literally relate to everything in your conversion experience (the intensity of it, words in the Bible coming alive, losing interest in tv&movies and being obsessed with sermons instead ;)) God bless you and Sam for the beautiful work you're doing for our Lord ❤your voice is super important and helpful! 🤗 Greetings from Poland :)
True. Thank you for saying this. Sex is not important. Our culture makes it appear soooooooooo important. What is in our hearts toward God and others is what is important.
I am so glad to have come across your channel! Your testimony is so powerful and your love Christ is so evident. This channel of yours is how God is using you to reach those who are seeking Him and desire to hear clarification on biblical truth on sexuality.
I appreciate the iPhone analogy. 35:16 Just pitching an idea- could the next discussion maybe be about seasons of loneliness? Even if one's grounded in solid Christian community, there's just the fact of coming home to oneself after the church hangouts. Keeping oneself occupied can only do so much sometimes when the sorrow overwhelms you. I'm personally fighting against my hardened heart every day. It's been difficult. Thank you Becket and Sam
I'll second that idea! What does the Christian do when their sinfulness destroys the marriage relationship that was designed to ground two people in God's plan? It's sorta like the analogy of having a perfect body confined to a wheelchair because in a moment of stupidity, driven by a lifestyle of selfishness, an individual dove off a bridge into water that was too shallow... It wasn't what God would have decreed for the individual, but the damage is done and probably can't be repaired this side of redemption. The consequences of sin sometimes live beyond the recognition of sin and the turning back to God. That's the hardest. Sorta like the rich man when he realizes his huge mistake...
@@quinbus51 Maybe consider rephrasing your comment since it could make a reader think it's accusatory. Sexual temptations are not always a result of addiction or lifestyle choices. Some of us are just born with them.
What an interesting, relevant and important conversation! I love the point the author makes about how we all as God’s creation have intrinsic sexual dignity which should not be violated by even the thought that would drive lust.
dear Beckett I got way off the path with heterosexual transgressions and it took a long rime for me to understand why I was getting blindsided by this even though I loved Jesus and wanted to follow Him and I have that same kind of puzzlement at times about why God didn't just reach down and snatch me out of that but like you intimated the Lord has plans that we can't always see into or understand presently I admire you so much because of your compassionate courage to share your testimony and it is POWERFUL you will never know how many people the Lord has rescued because of you and your being willing to be so vuleranable
everything said here was so beautifully put, thank you for expanding on this topic in such a thorough way. Jesus is the one to fulfill our hearts, God is the one to carry the weight of our souls. God bless you both
Love Sam Allberry. I love how his message and testimony doesn't solely speak to same sex attracted people. It really is for everyone. Same in heterosexual relationships i.e. you sleep with someone, it's euphoric for a while but if you are outside of marriage, it's just downhill and usually doesn't make out the way people had hoped. And I mean, it isn't difficult to know that sex is couched in the originality of all sin...all the way back to the fall...so naturally satan takes what was meant for good for us and twists it and uses it for harm.
I *often* think about our bodies being made whole in heaven. And (unfortunately) have to talk a lot about that in my dealings with people. But I have NEVER…and I mean NEVER EVER applied that thinking to “hey I can jump in heaven and not pee my pants because my body will be made new”. 😂 it may seem silly to some but not being able to jump for almost 10 years actually interferes with life on occasion. Plus it’s just really annoying haha. When he said “I can’t do at 40 what I could at 20” it clicked, and brought me joy! Wonderful talk as always, Becket 💙
I love this interview so much. I've watched it a couple times and I also shared it with a girl who suffers so much from sexual abuse as a child and now promiscuity and same sex attraction from it all. I think this is such a beautiful intuitive description of the intention of sex.
So many great insights from this video,especially on how Jesus views last and our bodies. I can identify with you Becket about how a lustful thought cones out of nowhere and the correlation to longing for intimacy..Thanks so much for this message. I will share it...Love your channel Becket.😊💖
Great name for a book : "Why does God care who I sleep with". Sexuality is a huge issue and clearly submitted to God is the ultimate goal of every aspect of our lives. As a teenager I remember having a romantic experience without a boy...it was not sexual but "romance" in love with. I didn't realize that the real object of my love was God!
Had several "AHA!" moments throughout this interview. I am a single Christian woman who has found myself falling for the I'm-not-complete-without-a-man lie every so often 🙄🙁 I am DONE with that lie....I will not entertain it any longer. Truth is my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the only ONE that completes me! Praise the Lord!
My favorite part of the movie 🤣 'Derek Zoolander Center For Kids Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn how to Do Other Stuff Good Too'! That was funny. 😊 But in all seriousness, this was very edifying & encouraging. Thank you both, God bless! 💗💗
Great to see and listen to brothers in Christ discuss these topics. In a secular world these boundaries are blurred but Jesus's words would always be the light and truth that exposes the lies of secular sexuality. If I borrow Yuan Chirstopher's word, ' holy sexuality' ,chastity in singleness and fidelity in marriage, and to make your body the temple where God can reside are the right attitudes to become one with Christ.
We live in a hypersexualized society. It's called entertainment because you have to allow, give permission, for those entities to enter the eye gate and ear gate.
Such truth! I used to be Bisexual in thoughts! But I never actually did anything. I knew my thoughts were wrong. I swore that I would never go down that road. But thoughts are just not ok! Lustful thoughts are so wrong! The fact is that I am only meant to find a man and get married and have sex with that one man the rest of my life. But I can also be unmarried and save myself for sex! This world is about fulfilling itself thru sex! I am happy to say that while it did take a while and I was angry with "Where is my love" I realized Jesus is all I need! He's what I was truly longing for! I am happy as a Christian and as a single woman and I do not need 'love' to fulfill me. The fact is that 'love' as the world calls it is just a bunch of lustful people who think that it's ok to be whores! Men and women are both whores. Not just women! I dunno why for so long the men were the playas and the girls were the whores? Like that never made sense! So ya to me they are all whores! I am happy that you guys are so honest with your story and if you hadn't gone thru it then you wouldn't be able to take this stand and say "I know what it was like" not "This is just my theory" like most of us would! Becket Cook, I think you have a lot to teach because God is using you to wake up others! I thank you and others who are like you who speak the truth in a world full of lies! Please never let them silence you!
Another compelling interview, Becket. Thank you so much! Prior to coming to the Lord, sex was an unhealthy obsession and I was a relationship junkie. Now with Jesus and age I see the ridiculousness of this. I'm in a healthy marriage for eleven years. It's so much better His way!!!! Real men and women love Jesus. He is the only One we are longing for. 💕

bad analogy. NPR makes a person stupider and less aware of their surroundings while instilling a hatefulness to others.

I was first introduced to Sam Allberry when I was searching for a way to explain why being "born this way" does not define us. His answer to a question about transgender issues was at once both the wisest and most gentle response I'd heard. So glad to sit in on this conversation!
Wow! Yet another fantastic conversation. Thank you Becket so much, for introducing us to Sam. 🙂
Good discussion and very deep at times. Becket, you made an epic statement when you said that when you notice an attractive person in public and your mind starts to go there, it's really you trying to get closer to Jesus. I'm going to pray about that as I still struggle with that.
Thank you for this interview with Sam, Becket. I admire your work (from Australia).😇
Only halfway through, but this is revolutionary. Jesus offers continual care, concern, strengthening and healing to all who have been so deeply wounded by all kinds of sin. By His wounds we are healed. Thank you for having this conversation. Praise God.
Becket, most of my comments start out with "This is such an important video." I realize they really are all important. Thank you for tackling these subjects. God bless you.
God Bless
Great episode, Becket! God bless you. In prayer for the peoples of Russia and Ukraine. Lord, have mercy! Peace brother.
Becket - I know we say this all the time BUT, these shows just are consistently EXCELLENT! Sam explains things in a simple, yet powerful way. I had never looked at Hollywood as having “sexual boundaries” as well……. And if one doesn’t think so just look at all the divorces over infidelity that go on in Hollywood. What a gift you both have in this area of “communicating truth”……..thank you!
Thank you so much for having Sam on, Becket!
I just recently discovered your channel, your work. It is helping me in my healing, on my way back to Jesus. I appreciate it very much! Your message, Sam's message is so vital and relavent for heterosexuals too. Praise God!🥰
Only Jesus can truly fulfill us! Great video, Becket!
Love💞💞
I think I need to listen to this a dozen times over!
Becket, I still need your book!
Wonderful interveiw! Love is Love, wonderfully explained from 2 John! God is Love!
Thank you so much for making videos like this. Everything said in this video is so important for people to hear and it's a blessing that you are putting this out into the world, especially as someone who has experienced the extreme emotional damage the "sexual liberation" culture has on us. I wish I had heard something like this when I was younger and so I hope this message of sexual reservation becomes more prevalent in our degenerate generation. Thank you Becket!
I am subscribed to the Immanuel Nashville’s UA-cam channel and I check to see if Sam is preaching. I always make time to listen to his message.
I saw u on Praise Church your so right culture has a huge influence nowadays.Your so spot on
Hey, Sam Allberry is 4 1/2 hours from Knoxville, Tennessee where I live and from in East TN! Really enjoyed listening to Sam speak. People who think Christians are stifled sexually shows the true ignorance they have of God's word. The scales need to be lifted from their eyes. Christ freed women! Only Christ can fulfill that longing in our hearts and we can't depend on any human being to make us complete. We have to love Christ and love ourselves as Christ would want us to and I think that is the key to having a healthy relationship with a husband or wife when you have peace in Christ and are equally yoked and have Christ at the center of the marriage and relationship. I love these verses:
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
New International Version
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him. For God's temple is holy, and you are that temple.

I LOVE THESE PASSAGES IN SCRIPTURE!!!! Sums up why we are to remain pure in body and spirit unmarried and married. Was wondering if you ever have met Ray Comfort from New Zealand. Lives in L.A. and delivers the word to people on the streets of L.A. and Venice Beach and I'm sure many places there I'm not familiar with. Thank you both for sharing the truth to everyone and I never get tired of hearing the Word of God from two beautiful souls which are both of you! God bless you brothers in Christ!
Becket thank you, just thanking you allowing the spirit speak through you and use you.
God bless you abundantly
Intimacy… and a life long commitment to one who will not dessert us. Singles in Christ are blessed because there is no where else to turn but Jesus. So we turn to him and find peace, contentment and joy in this life as well as the promise of eternal life in paradise. This is one of Beckett’s best shows.
Thank you. God Bless
THANK YOU for talking about this subject.
We Christians don't drink, don't smoke , don't hangout with people who do BUT we have sex outside of marriage😒
That one bothers me so much! Fornication is evil maybe not as bad as Sodomy! The fact is though we are to wait! Sadly I wasn't given a choice. I was molested by the first pervert at 3 years old and later on moved back to Maine and from 9 years old on to 17 I was abused by another man! I never had a chance! I am still fighting perverions. But I can't have sex! I can't trust men! I can't let down my guard!
I am waiting until marraige. And as far as I am concerned I am a virgin! I didn't get a choice as a child abused the way I was. It took me a long time to heal up and find peace! God helped me realized I needed to forgive not for their sakes but my own. The two of them either are dead or went to jail. I know that much. I know that sexual abuse leaves you scared. At 5 years old I Thought I was a freak when I'd do things to myself. It was because of the abuse! What five year old thinks that way? Right?
It's just a sad and hard time in my life and I feel terrible for anyone who suffered the same way. I am asking you to pray for me to stop having the perverted thoguhts that all I am good for is sex. That's all women are meant for or that I am some kind of whore who liked it! Of course not but when you are told that and abused that way you don't understand that it's not right that it's not ok and that it is not who you are! God spared me from getting into random hook ups or alcoholic or drugs! He helped me realized it would just not help! That it would not be ok!
You were made for way more than what those lies say. You are a child of God and His purpose in your life shall be fulfilled 🙏🏽🙌🏽❤️
Still binge watching your vids!! This one, WOW. Profound and deep and meaty and I just enjoyed it all!!! The part about Jesus being the woman at the well's husband NUMBER 7 just blew me away!! Never thought of that before!!
I love Sam! I read his 'Is God anti-gay' book (which recently came out in Polish 😉) Glad to see him on your channel. I also love YOU Beckett! When I read your testimony as described in your biography I could literally relate to everything in your conversion experience (the intensity of it, words in the Bible coming alive, losing interest in tv&movies and being obsessed with sermons instead ;)) God bless you and Sam for the beautiful work you're doing for our Lord ❤your voice is super important and helpful! 🤗
Greetings from Poland :)
Thank you. God Bless
True. Thank you for saying this. Sex is not important. Our culture makes it appear soooooooooo important. What is in our hearts toward God and others is what is important.
:)!
@@BecketCook So true Victoria, and I love your heart!!!!
I am so glad to have come across your channel! Your testimony is so powerful and your love Christ is so evident. This channel of yours is how God is using you to reach those who are seeking Him and desire to hear clarification on biblical truth on sexuality.
I appreciate the iPhone analogy. 35:16
Just pitching an idea- could the next discussion maybe be about seasons of loneliness? Even if one's grounded in solid Christian community, there's just the fact of coming home to oneself after the church hangouts. Keeping oneself occupied can only do so much sometimes when the sorrow overwhelms you. I'm personally fighting against my hardened heart every day. It's been difficult. Thank you Becket and Sam
I'll second that idea! What does the Christian do when their sinfulness destroys the marriage relationship that was designed to ground two people in God's plan? It's sorta like the analogy of having a perfect body confined to a wheelchair because in a moment of stupidity, driven by a lifestyle of selfishness, an individual dove off a bridge into water that was too shallow... It wasn't what God would have decreed for the individual, but the damage is done and probably can't be repaired this side of redemption.
The consequences of sin sometimes live beyond the recognition of sin and the turning back to God. That's the hardest. Sorta like the rich man when he realizes his huge mistake...
@@quinbus51 Maybe consider rephrasing your comment since it could make a reader think it's accusatory. Sexual temptations are not always a result of addiction or lifestyle choices. Some of us are just born with them.
Thank u for such a variety of guests. New exposure to representatives of Christ’s healing ministry.
Another excellent video, you are a blessing to the body of Christ, as well as those who are searching.
THE best break down of this issue I’ve ever heard. Thank you. ❤️
So edifying and convicting! Another great interview, Becket. 😊
God bless!
What an interesting, relevant and important conversation! I love the point the author makes about how we all as God’s creation have intrinsic sexual dignity which should not be violated by even the thought that would drive lust.
Edifying and encouraging for everyone. Enjoyed this, thank you both. ☺️🙏👍🏻💛 God bless
Thank you, Sam and Becket. -Dallas
dear Beckett
I got way off the path with heterosexual transgressions and it took a long rime for me to understand why I was getting blindsided by this even though I loved Jesus and wanted to follow Him and I have that same kind of puzzlement at times about why God didn't just reach down and snatch me out of that but like you intimated the Lord has plans that we can't always see into or understand presently
I admire you so much because of your compassionate courage to share your testimony and it is POWERFUL you will never know how many people the Lord has rescued because of you and your being willing to be so vuleranable
I just recently became aware of Sam watching some Gospel Coalition videos.....what a great interview, Becket! So informative and edifying 👍
God bless
I love you both as brothers in Christ!!!
Thank you for this. Very timely.
everything said here was so beautifully put, thank you for expanding on this topic in such a thorough way. Jesus is the one to fulfill our hearts, God is the one to carry the weight of our souls. God bless you both
God bless
Thanks so much. I so appreciate both of you!
What an amazing episode. I truly enjoyed it. Thank you; praise our God.
Love Sam Allberry. I love how his message and testimony doesn't solely speak to same sex attracted people. It really is for everyone. Same in heterosexual relationships i.e. you sleep with someone, it's euphoric for a while but if you are outside of marriage, it's just downhill and usually doesn't make out the way people had hoped. And I mean, it isn't difficult to know that sex is couched in the originality of all sin...all the way back to the fall...so naturally satan takes what was meant for good for us and twists it and uses it for harm.
Another great interview, ❤️🙏🏾
I *often* think about our bodies being made whole in heaven. And (unfortunately) have to talk a lot about that in my dealings with people. But I have NEVER…and I mean NEVER EVER applied that thinking to “hey I can jump in heaven and not pee my pants because my body will be made new”. 😂 it may seem silly to some but not being able to jump for almost 10 years actually interferes with life on occasion. Plus it’s just really annoying haha. When he said “I can’t do at 40 what I could at 20” it clicked, and brought me joy!
Wonderful talk as always, Becket 💙
Thanks again Becket for another video!
Great conversation
Be blessed!! From one level to another Becket!
I love this interview so much. I've watched it a couple times and I also shared it with a girl who suffers so much from sexual abuse as a child and now promiscuity and same sex attraction from it all. I think this is such a beautiful intuitive description of the intention of sex.
Yet another edifying content! Love, love your show!!! 💟✝️💟 Thank you Beck!
I'm stumbled on your You Tube videos and I love you Beckett! Thank you for these great videos. God Bless You!
Thank you! God Bless
This video is so so important!
God Bless
Hi Sam 👋 books look intriguing 😀 Hi Becket. Always a pleasure to await your videos. LOL glad Jesus got u Sam
Very insightful!! Amazing stuff. I was emotional several times. Proof to me those were new concepts!! As usual I need o hear this more than once.
Wow! I'd never thought of the #7 with the Woman at the Well either!
So many great insights from this video,especially on how Jesus views last and our bodies. I can identify with you Becket about how a lustful thought cones out of nowhere and the correlation to longing for intimacy..Thanks so much for this message. I will share it...Love your channel Becket.😊💖
Great name for a book : "Why does God care who I sleep with". Sexuality is a huge issue and clearly submitted to God is the ultimate goal of every aspect of our lives. As a teenager I remember having a romantic experience without a boy...it was not sexual but "romance" in love with. I didn't realize that the real object of my love was God!
Great episode! What this man says about self-giving in marriage is so true, as opposed to seeking someone to fulfill us and affirm us.
This is so good! Such wisdom! We just celebrated our 43 wedding anniversary. God’s ways are always better than ours!❤
You guys are heroes.
God Bless
Had several "AHA!" moments throughout this interview.
I am a single Christian woman who has found myself falling for the I'm-not-complete-without-a-man lie every so often 🙄🙁
I am DONE with that lie....I will not entertain it any longer.
Truth is my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the only ONE that completes me!
Praise the Lord!
This show was interesting. ❤️Great as all ways becket😊.
Christians who lament over not having the 'chance' to have 'fun' out there in the world... I sincerely (with all due respect) doubt their salvation.
"You complete me." Jerry McGuire movie Colossians 2:10 New King James Version. "...and you are complete in Him."
Amazing!
I love your book too Becket! X
Love your show. Keep doing what you’re doing.
My favorite part of the movie 🤣 'Derek Zoolander Center For Kids Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn how to Do Other Stuff Good Too'! That was funny. 😊 But in all seriousness, this was very edifying & encouraging. Thank you both, God bless! 💗💗
Wow!! What a great discussion! God bless both of you!!
Great to see and listen to brothers in Christ discuss these topics. In a secular world these boundaries are blurred but Jesus's words would always be the light and truth that exposes the lies of secular sexuality. If I borrow Yuan Chirstopher's word, ' holy sexuality' ,chastity in singleness and fidelity in marriage, and to make your body the temple where God can reside are the right attitudes to become one with Christ.
Pastor Cook, please watch THE DRIP episode 6. He called you his hero. Hope to see him on the show.
We live in a hypersexualized society.
It's called entertainment because you have to allow, give permission, for those entities to enter the eye gate and ear gate.
It's so sad nowadays we can't even tell what gender are we anymore
The sentiment of the friends expressed at 6:45 has a precedent in none less than St Augustine... who DID fool around!
Howdy Becket 😊 Love your content, love your guests. Keep up the great work brother 🙂
Thank you. God Bless
Refreshing and true!
I loved it!❤️
Such truth! I used to be Bisexual in thoughts! But I never actually did anything. I knew my thoughts were wrong. I swore that I would never go down that road. But thoughts are just not ok! Lustful thoughts are so wrong! The fact is that I am only meant to find a man and get married and have sex with that one man the rest of my life. But I can also be unmarried and save myself for sex! This world is about fulfilling itself thru sex!
I am happy to say that while it did take a while and I was angry with "Where is my love" I realized Jesus is all I need! He's what I was truly longing for! I am happy as a Christian and as a single woman and I do not need 'love' to fulfill me. The fact is that 'love' as the world calls it is just a bunch of lustful people who think that it's ok to be whores! Men and women are both whores. Not just women! I dunno why for so long the men were the playas and the girls were the whores? Like that never made sense! So ya to me they are all whores!
I am happy that you guys are so honest with your story and if you hadn't gone thru it then you wouldn't be able to take this stand and say "I know what it was like" not "This is just my theory" like most of us would! Becket Cook, I think you have a lot to teach because God is using you to wake up others! I thank you and others who are like you who speak the truth in a world full of lies! Please never let them silence you!
Jackie Hill Perry also brought up the point about God being the Lord of our bodies
Another excellent interview, Becket! Thank you both. And I love the Woman at the Well and the 7th "husband", who is Jesus. Beautiful.
Yes! The hope of that glorified body helps us grow old graciously, without trying to hold back to youth as so many in the world sadly do.
Another compelling interview, Becket. Thank you so much! Prior to coming to the Lord, sex was an unhealthy obsession and I was a relationship junkie. Now with Jesus and age I see the ridiculousness of this. I'm in a healthy marriage for eleven years. It's so much better His way!!!! Real men and women love Jesus. He is the only One we are longing for. 💕
