In this episode of The Becket Cook Show, Becket sits down with Vlad, a young man who was convinced he was born gay and lived that identity for years—secretly, painfully, and hopelessly. Growing up in rural Romania with a nominal faith, Vlad slowly fell into pornography, hookup culture, and deep isolation. His life spiraled in Germany where depression and addiction took over, even while he still called himself a “Christian.”

But then something unexpected happened. A testimony on this very channel interrupted everything. That video led to real Bible study, real confession, real community, and ultimately—a real encounter with Jesus Christ.

Vlad moved to London, walked into a global Christian gathering, and there, surrounded by believers, he finally understood the cross. He chose repentance, baptism, and a new life in Christ. Since that moment, everything is different. Temptations still exist, but he is no longer alone, no longer hopeless, and no longer defined by his past.

This is a story about identity, deception, love, spiritual warfare, and the power of God to rescue anyone. Share this with someone who needs hope.

In this powerful episode Becket Cook talks to Jason Mellard, a man whose journey from childhood trauma and same-sex attraction to healing, faith, and family will leave you deeply moved. Jason reveals how years of confusion and pain—rooted in sexual abuse and a fractured relationship with his father—ultimately inspired him to create his transformative “Four S Framework”: Separation, Sensation, Sin, and Story. This life-changing approach helps men better understand the roots of same-sex attraction and find restoration through truth, identity, and God’s grace.

As Jason recounts his father’s tragic struggle, his own path through recovery, and how he ultimately found freedom, purpose, and love through Christ, viewers are offered an authentic look at redemption in action. Today, Jason is a husband, father of three, and a coach helping men overcome shame, reconnect with God, and live lives full of purpose and possibility. His story is both heartbreaking and deeply hopeful—a testament to how God can transform even the most broken past into a radiant future.

In this powerful interview, Becket Cook talks with Lare McCreary, who shares his remarkable story of God’s redemption. Growing up as a pastor’s kid in Missouri, Lare struggled with feelings of rejection and same-sex attraction from an early age.

Through grace, perseverance, and obedience, Lare chose to trust God’s design, ultimately finding freedom, peace, and purpose in his walk with Christ.

Today, Lare is married to his wife Amy and is the father of four children. His story is a testament to God’s faithfulness, showing that no struggle is beyond His redemption. In this honest and heartfelt conversation, Lare and Becket discuss faith, identity, and the power of God to transform lives — a message of hope for anyone seeking truth and wholeness in Jesus.
