We discover through these key historical figures how our modern world was shaped and the dramatic effects their ideas have had on our culture today including the previously incoherent phrase, "I am a woman trapped in a man's body," and how this phrase came to be known as coherent and meaningful in our world. You will be surprised how far-reaching these ideas are and how they are in the social imaginary whether we realize it or not. This episode will help you understand how we got to the chaos and confusion of our culture in the 21st century. Carl R.

Support The Becket Cook Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thebecketcookshowIn today's episode, Becket chats with Alan Shlemon from Stand to Reason about Hermeneutics - the discipline of interpreting the Bible. We learn how context and history play an important role in our understanding, and how modern Christians tend to overlook literary themes when reading scripture. It is important for us in the modern church to respect the history, culture and true meanings behind the biblical text. Applying this discipline is crucial to understanding the Bible correctly, and will help you avoid falling into the common mistakes among Bible readers. Our culture would have us interpret the Bible in whatever way feels best to us, but we need to study the Word of God and its original intended meaning rather than bend it to our own cultural whims. We also discuss commonly misunderstood passages in the Bible. Some of these may shock you.

They address many issues facing modern Christians like deconstruction, socialism, cancel culture, marxism and prominent Christians leaving the faith. The culture is diametrically opposed to Christianity's message and more often than not seeks to undermine and misinterpret the teachings of Jesus.

Support The Becket Cook Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thebecketcookshowIn today's episode, Becket looks at a New York Times article that is contemptuous of motherhood. We learn that movies like "The Lost Daughter," and "Scenes from a Marriage" as well as TV shows like "And Just Like That" portray motherhood as a drag. This cultural indoctrination has a big influence on young women. Becket uses the truth of scripture to combat this poisonous ideology.
