BECKET COOK
July 6/7

A Gay man’s incredible story of redemption

Becket Cook has a remarkable story of transformation by the gospel. Before becoming a Christian, he lived as a gay man in Hollywood as a successful set designer. His life centered around celebrity-filled Hollywood parties and he traveled to society hot-spots around the world — until a chance encounter with a pastor at an LA coffee shop one morning changed everything. His life was transformed in 2009 when he was invited to a church and came to faith in Jesus Christ. Becket now spends much of his time in ministry, speaking on the issue of homosexuality at churches, universities, and conferences. He has also authored a book titled A Change of Affection: A Gay Man’s Incredible Story of Redemption.

NAOMI WRIGHT

 AUGUST 3/4

Escaping a pseudo-Christian polygamous cult

Naomi Wright seemed like a pretty normal kid. Growing up, she lived in Western New York and went to a public school. But she had an unusual number of siblings—15 of them. She also had to wear long skirts, even in gym class, and her dad was rarely home. No one in Naomi’s middle-­class neighborhood suspected that her ­family belonged to a polygamist cult. Naomi is the daughter of a pseudo-Christian cult leader. She did not know this was the case until she was 28, from which point she has sought after truth with a questioning mind, adamant to never find herself so lost again.
