In today's episode, Becket interviews Mark Jones about his wonderful book, "Knowing Sin." We learn about how Adam broke the Ten Commandments in the Garden, Original Sin, the origins of sin, how sin damaged the Image of God in humans, what "privation" and "positive inclination" mean, what indwelling sin really is, and much more. We also discuss why defining sin as "missing the mark" misses the mark! This episode will enlighten, edify, and encourage you. <br />

ABOUT BECKET:<br />
Becket Cook was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. He attended Jesuit College Preparatory<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
He has lived all over the world in major cities such as Rome, Vienna, and Tokyo.<br />
<br />
Becket graduated from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University in 2017 with a Master of Arts in Theology. <br />
<br />
Becket’s book, A Change of Affection: A Gay Man’s Incredible Story of Redemption, with a <br />
foreword by Francis Chan, published by Thomas Nelson, released July 30, 2019.<br />
