Becket Cook was living what many would call a dream life—working in Hollywood, dating men, and surrounded by celebrities. But beneath the surface, he felt an ache that nothing in that world could satisfy. One day at a café, he noticed a group of young people doing a Bible study and struck up a conversation. That led to an invitation to church—and during that very first visit, the Holy Spirit met him powerfully. In this episode, Becket shares his journey from acting on same-sex attraction to finding true identity, purpose, and peace in Christ. His journey will challenge you, inspire you, and point you back to the One who satisfies.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe, we’re learning how to be clear and confident about God’s call for our life. God places a call on everyone’s life … so why do some people understand their purpose right away … while it takes other people a long time to get the revelation? As we move forward in our series called When You Believe … Everything Changes, Mark will be taking us to the book of Ephesians, chapter 3 to explain The Secret to Freedom and Confidence.

Do you really believe all things work for good? Pastor Skip shows you why Joseph’s story proves that even pain has purpose in God’s plan.

Hi, friend. I hope you’re doing well today.

For anyone who’s ever been treated badly—in other words, everyone—Colossians 3:13 offers one of the New Testament’s most challenging admonitions: “even as Christ forgave you, so you must also do.” Really, God? you might think. I’m supposed to just forgive them? I know it’s not easy, and it won’t be a straight line. But, with God’s help, you will find the space of grace.

Y’all, we love a good girl chat, and this episode is SUCH a good one! Sadie’s hanging out with Passion Music’s Melodie Malone and Chidima Craig, and they’re diving into all the things—singleness, how they met their husbands, and why marrying a fellow believer is honestly a no-brainer. Melodie, who’s a newlywed, shares what her single years were like and how she realized her friend Jay was actually the guy she’d been praying for all along. Chidima opens up about the early days with her now-husband Michael and why it was hard to let herself fully receive his love at first. And Sadie’s spilling a little tea on those first DMs and phone calls with Christian—and when she knew it was more than just “friends.”
