In today's episode, Becket Cook talks with former gay man Josh Duiker who shares his powerful testimony of leaving the LGBTQ lifestyle after a dramatic encounter with Jesus at age 40. From growing up secular and struggling with same-sex attraction, addiction, and promiscuity in Los Angeles, to attending a progressive gay-affirming church in Hollywood, Josh reveals how he discovered it was a false gospel and ultimately found true freedom at a biblical church.

In this emotional interview, Josh opens up about his radical salvation experience alone in his apartment, why progressive "gay Christianity" couldn't satisfy his hunger for truth, how reading Scripture and solid preaching exposed the deception, leaving the gay lifestyle, facing backlash from friends and family, and embracing biblical faith.

A must-listen story of redemption, grace, and the transforming power of the real Jesus Christ.

In this powerful, testimony, Janick Christen joins Becket Cook from Switzerland to share her journey through childhood trauma, identity confusion, gender dysphoria, medical transition (including hormones and surgeries), and the moment she says God confronted her with a choice that changed everything. This conversation walks through the pain, the beliefs, the questions, and the cost—then traces what she describes as a step-by-step restoration of identity through surrender to Jesus.

Janick speaks candidly about mental health battles, the complexity of family dysfunction, and why she believes “fruit” in someone’s life isn’t the same as God’s approval. If you’ve wrestled with identity, faith, suffering, or how Christians should respond with truth and compassion, this episode is for you.

Author and pastor Jamie Bambrick joins Becket Cook to talk about his new book, “Set Free in a World of Chaos and Confusion: Only Jesus Can Save and Set You Free.” They discuss how the gospel offers real freedom in a culture that’s deeply confused about identity, sexuality, and truth.

Jamie shares the story behind his viral response to the “He Gets Us” Super Bowl ad and why a Jesus who only “relates” to us—but never calls us out of sin—falls short of the biblical Christ. From there, the conversation moves into the big questions: God, evil, suffering, and why our intuitions about right and wrong point beyond a purely material universe.

Along the way, you’ll hear powerful glimpses of lives radically changed by Christ and a clear, hopeful explanation of what it actually means to be “set free.” If you’re a skeptic, a struggler, or a believer looking for clarity in the chaos, this episode will challenge you to reconsider who Jesus is and what He offers.
