Hollywood production designer Becket Cook surrendered his life to God at a Hollywood church, leaving his life as a gay atheist behind.
Becket Cook
Becket Cook from Dallas, Texas is a successful set designer in Hollywood. He has worked with many big names including Vogue and celebrities including Paris Hilton and Oprah. He shared his journey in his book “A Change Of Affection: A Gay Man’s Incredible Story Of Redemption.”
“At this point in my life, I was very successful in my career as a set designer, and production designer. I mean, I was doing covers for Vogue and for Harper’s Bazaar. I worked with a lot of pop stars like Katy Perry and Paris Hilton and Oprah. Like, everyone you can imagine – I worked with them. And I also started my own men’s fashion line that was successful. Our clothes were in, you know, L.A., New York, Paris,” he told CBN.
Hollywood Production Designer
However, despite his successful career in show business, he still felt empty deep inside. At that time, he was living as a gay man who didn’t believe that God existed. And then God lead someone into his life to bring him closer to God; it was Joy Durham-Schafer, a Christian model.
When Becket met Joy, she was still a new believer at that time who had recently broke off an engagement with a non-believer. That story of how Joy made that difficult decision became a seed in Becket’s heart.
“I remember when she told me that story it was, maybe, the first spark of me thinking… ‘There must be something real to this kind of Christianity-thing.’ …It definitely planted a seed in me.”
Redemption
God also used his sister-in-law, Kim Cook, to pray for his salvation. During one of her Bible studies, Kim suddenly felt a burden to pray for Becket, so she did until he finally came to know Christ. The former atheist gave his life to the Lord at a Hollywood church in September 2005.
“Your battles are won by being on your knees,” Kim said.
Today, he is now a transformed man, bringing people closer to Jesus through his testimony. He also runs a podcast, “The Becket Cook Show,” where he talks about Christianity with his guest.
