Description

Support The Becket Cook Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thebecketcookshowIn today’s episode, Becket chats with author Brett McCracken about his latest book, “The Wisdom Pyramid: Feeding Your Soul in a Post-Truth World.” Brett unpacks what it looks like to live wisely as a Christian in an age of constant distraction. With the quick tap of the finger, we can access an endless stream of addictive information. Accessing information has never been easier—but acquiring wisdom is increasingly difficult. In an effort to help us consume a more balanced, healthy diet of information, Brett has created the “Wisdom Pyramid,” challenging us to increase our intake of enduring, trustworthy sources (like the Bible) while moderating our consumption of less reliable sources (like the Internet and social media). Brett helps us with a healthier approach at a time when so much of our daily media diet is toxic and making us spiritually sick. You’ll walk away from this conversation uplifted and encouraged.Brett's Book "The Wisdom Pyramid": https://amzn.to/3nP4zhXThe Becket Cook Show Ep. 82WATCH THIS EPISODE OF THE BECKET COOK SHOW ON YouTube: https://youtu.be/O5oLmOKBbXEWANT TO DONATE TO BECKET'S MINISTRY?Join the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thebecketcookshowPayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/becketcookVenmo: @Becket-CookWANT MORE?Buy Becket Cook's book about his dramatic conversion from gay atheist to born-again Christian: "A Change of Affection: A Gay Man's Incredible Story of Redemption" HERE: https://amzn.to/3pzVqtjSTAY CONNECTED:Twitter: https://twitter.com/becketcook/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/becketcook/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/becket.cook/www.becketcook.comSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/thebecketcookshow

The Becket Cook Show was created by Becket Cook to discuss relevant topics and to crush the lies of culture with truth. Becket Cook was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. After graduating from college, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of writing and acting, finding success in both. He eventually became a production designer working on fashion shoots for brands such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Gap, L'Oréal Paris, and Nike. Becket lived as a gay man until 2009, when he reluctantly agreed to attend a church service at which he was transformed by the gospel and gave his life to Christ. He also knew that homosexuality was a sin and that he could no longer live that life. Becket spends much of his time in ministry speaking at churches, universities, and conferences helping people understand this issue biblically, theologically, culturally, and personally. Becket graduated from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University in 2017 with a Master of Arts in Theology.
