The Becket Cook Show was created by Becket Cook to discuss relevant topics and to crush the lies of culture with truth. Becket Cook was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. After graduating from college, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of writing and acting, finding success in both. He eventually became a production designer working on fashion shoots for brands such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Gap, L'Oréal Paris, and Nike. Becket lived as a gay man until 2009, when he reluctantly agreed to attend a church service at which he was transformed by the gospel and gave his life to Christ. He also knew that homosexuality was a sin and that he could no longer live that life. Becket spends much of his time in ministry speaking at churches, universities, and conferences helping people understand this issue biblically, theologically, culturally, and personally. Becket graduated from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University in 2017 with a Master of Arts in Theology.

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Beckett Cook, host of the Beckett Cook Show. I lived as a gay man in Hollywood for many many years until I had a
0:07.0	Radical encounter with Jesus 13 years ago. Since then I've gotten my master's degree in seminary and published a book called a Change of
0:14.2	Affection. On my podcast the Beckett Cook Show, I sit down with fascinating Christian scholars and thinkers to address the
0:21.6	Lies of the culture and bring the biblical truth to bear on those lies. To start listening now, go to

1:08.8	Hey guys, welcome to the show. Today I have a very special guest, Eric Metaxas. He's been on the show
1:15.5	several times and you probably know him from his book Bonhoeffer,
1:20.3	which is an amazing biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it.
1:26.9	He's written many biographies including amazing grace on William Wilberforce and Martin Luther.
1:34.1	And he's written a book called Miracles, which we discussed on this show before. And we discussed
1:42.9	his memoir, Fish Out of Water on this show before. But today, and he's written many other, many other books.
1:50.0	So today, we're going to talk about his latest book, Letter to the American Church. And I'm excited to
1:56.4	have him on to get into this. But first a word from our sponsor. Welcome, Eric, Metaxas.
2:03.3	I believe that's me. How are you? That is you. Yeah, it looks like you. It's good. Good to, good to, good to see you.
2:10.5	Good to see you. You're one of those people you encourage me. Thanks for having me on.
2:15.1	You encourage me as well. I'm glad you're on. And this book is encouraging Letter to the American Church.
2:21.9	It's not only encouraging, but it's quite eye opening and quite urgent. So I want to, in the introduction of the book,
2:31.1	the very first sentence of your introduction, you say why you've written this book. I've written this book
2:37.0	because I'm convinced the American Church is at an impossibly and almost unbearably important inflection point.
