The book of books is making a comeback! with Larry Alex Taunton Jul 16, 2026

Show notes

In today's episode, Becket Cook sits down with Larry Alex Taunton, author, columnist for The Federalist, and host of the podcast Ideas Have Consequences, to discuss his insightful article, "Outrage Over Texas Teaching the Bible is Anti-Intellectual." They unpack the Texas State Board of Education's decision to include Bible sections in the K-12 curriculum, exploring why this move is essential for understanding Western civilization, literature, history, and moral foundations. From Forest McDonald's lessons on intellectual honesty to the Bible's influence on figures like Shakespeare, Faulkner, Mark Twain, and the Declaration of Independence, this conversation reveals how biblical literacy shapes everything from capitalism and science to human rights and restraint on evil impulses.

Larry Alex Taunton and Becket Cook also address leftist outrage, Drag Queen Story Hour, Richard Dawkins' evolving views on Christianity vs. Islam, and why removing the Bible from public schools has led to cultural decline since 1963. Perfect for fans of Christian apologetics, education reform, Western history, and conservative thought, this episode makes a compelling case for the Bible as the "prequel to everything" in the West.

From Abused to Prostitute to Gay to Freedom in Christ! May 26, 2026

Show notes

In today's episode, Becket Cook sits down with Carlos Qatari for one of the most powerful redemption stories you will ever hear.

From being sexually abused by family members between the ages of 5 and 12, to a life of extreme promiscuity, prostitution, and over 600 same-sex partners, Carlos spiraled into sex addiction and suicidal despair. After a radical encounter with Jesus through "The Passion of the Christ," years of legalism and failed attempts to change left him empty—until he fully surrendered his life and stopped obsessing over his attractions. What God did next was miraculous.

Today Carlos is happily married to a beautiful woman, a proud father of twins (with a third on the way), and living in complete freedom. This isn’t just a testimony—it’s a powerful message about true surrender, identity in Christ, forgiveness, and the renewal of the mind. Watch until the end.
