In today’s episode, Becket goes back to the 70s and looks at the popular sitcom, “One Day at a Time.” He examines a scene from an episode called, “Pressure,” where Barbara, who is now 18 years old, is considering sleeping with her boyfriend. She tries, in vain, to get sound advice from her mother and sister. No one has a good answer because they are operating within a secular humanistic worldview. They can only look within. Of course, this was an early iteration of what’s plaguing our culture today: look within, follow your heart, you be you, etc. It’s amazing how we have been indoctrinated in this stiff since the 70s…and before.

ABOUT BECKET:
Becket Cook was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. He attended Jesuit College Preparatory
School of Dallas. After graduating from Austin College in Texas, Becket moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of writing and acting, finding success in both. He eventually went on to become a production designer working with the top photographers and directors in the world on fashion shoots for magazines such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and for ad campaigns such as Gap, L'Oréal Paris, and Nike.
Finding a new sense of freedom in L.A., Becket also fully engaged in his new life as a gay man. He had a series of many relationships with men throughout the next fifteen years.
In September of 2009, Becket met a stranger at a coffee shop in Silver Lake who invited him to his church in Hollywood called Reality L.A. Becket reluctantly agreed to attend the service. After hearing the sermon that Sunday, Becket was utterly transformed by the gospel and gave his life to Christ. He also knew on that day when God revealed Himself to him that homosexuality was a sin and that he could no longer live that life. Becket was more than happy to count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus his Lord.
Becket spends much of his time in ministry speaking at churches, universities, and conferences helping believers (and non-believers) understand this issue biblically, theologically, culturally, and personally. Balancing grace and truth when teaching on this subject is of primary importance. His goal is to challenge the current cultural narrative about sexuality in general and homosexuality in particular by demonstrating through his personal testimony and biblical truths that, yes, homosexuality is still a sin, and that following Christ is infinitely more satisfying and joyous.
He has lived all over the world in major cities such as Rome, Vienna, and Tokyo.
Becket graduated from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University in 2017 with a Master of Arts in Theology.
Becket’s book, A Change of Affection: A Gay Man’s Incredible Story of Redemption, with a
foreword by Francis Chan, published by Thomas Nelson, released July 30, 2019.

Becks this was brilliant. I grew up on a steady diet of these shows and a feminist mother. All the pieces are cling together now. I was seriously indoctrinated into thinking this way since I was a child. Ruined my life. Nothing was right until I came to Christ and the absolute truth. I love the Word. I love my Shepherd.

I might also add, Bewitched was a classic case of a show that not only made the occult look harmless but also deminished and mocked the husband/father role.

[@cathywithac3793]

I remember when everyone was making a big deal about the show "Married With Children". I watched it once out of curiosity. The husband and wife hated and disrespected eachother. The kids disrespected their parents. The father disrespected his son and daughter and the mom was just clueless and lazy. I found it sad and depressing but it was a popular 90s comedy. 🤷‍♀️

[@nildameers3772]

Agreed the dad was seen as a fool and played by his mother in law

[@wendimooreart]

When I was a kid, “Bewitched” was one of my favorite shows. It just seemed like a fun show at the time. Strangely, I was more bothered by all the drinking. Every time Darren got home from work, Samantha made him a drink. When Endora or any of Sam’s relatives visited, the answer to every problem was to have a cocktail. My parents didn’t keep alcohol in the house and rarely drank, so I wondered if it was normal for everyone else to drink so much alcohol. It was always weird to me.

[@andrewbrendan1579]

Great observations about "Bewitched". I watched that show and also "Dark Shadows" which really led me into an interest in the occult.

[@partonlvr]

I'm not sure about Bewitched so much as all of the people who get into Harry Potter. Now that is pure Satan and it couldn't have been that bad if Agnes Moorehead agreed to do the show considering she was a devout Christian. But I do see your point too about the husband/father thing

[@787maggie]

Beckett everytime I listen to you it helps me. become less judgemental I committed grave sexual sin and I suffer shame and guilt to this day. It took my self respect and peace of mind. You are absolutely right It has also hugely affected how others see me and that deeply hurts me I had no idea at the time it would be so devastating .So to anyone who is thinking of anything other than sex after. marriage between a man and a woman don't do it. I promise you it's not worth it Listen to this message

[@WCove99]

I agree. It goes for men, too. But with women, we are created to form a lifelong emotional bond when we have sex. So it hurt me, deeply. Now,. I am only even just dating when and who God wills me to. I am done doing my own thing, because it only broke my heart.

[@Jessbensarah]

@Maggie7 Remember the scripture where Jesus meets the woman as she is being threatened to be stoned because of her adultery? Jesus ended with "Your sins are forgiven (he knew she was repentant)Go and sin no more", Focus on Jesus and what he said in the scripture (He supernaturally can make us spiritually a virgin again.) He renews us in Him. Don't carry the shame and guilt he says to Come all ye who are weary and He carries the yoke. I pray right now freedom in Christ, renew her mind in You. Cause her to hear you and give it all to you and know then she is forgiven. In Jesus name.

[@787maggie]

Thank you

[@emmylou-y4b]

Becket, your observations are spot-on. By the way, Norman Lear founded People For The American Way in 1980. It is an anti-Christian values non-profit with the purpose of challenging what was then called, The Moral Majority. Lear was the leader of the "cool kids" back in the 1970s. I have to admit we watched All In The Family and we all laughed but I think we appreciated the acting and not the messaging. My dad and uncles fought in WW2 (a reference that Archie would make that was usually followed by a snarky remark from Mike the Meathead). Lear, who just celebrated his 100th Birthday is another one of those Marxist leaning liberals who made a vast fortune while breaking down the moral fiber of this country.

[@marshahollings]

God has allowed Lear to see 100. I pray that Lear comes to Christ before he leaves this earth.

[@sherrikish3987]

I was born 1950 and can remember when a TV was brought into our home. There were many wholesome shows like Father knows best, Lassie, etc. but the the comedies did best at bringing the subtle breakdown of values. I see it as being like an altar at which the family centered its life. There was little discussion that took place in this setting. Sadly, fathers allowed this invasion even if they nailed the windows.

[@scillyautomatic]

I didn't know that Lear started the PFTAW. That says all you need to know about him.

[@rjules1083]

Norman Lear is also responsible for getting rid of the father on Good Times. We all know where he was going there. To get rid of a father figure in a black household is something he claimed to be more realistic. And the way he fired John Amos was pathetic too. Norman Lear has a lot to answer for when he meets The Lord!

[@debbiegum2226]

You definitely hit the nail on the head with this observation

As a Gen Xer, I'm looking back on a childhood where TV and movies raised me in a lot of ways. Mom and Dad worked, and I came home to an empty house often (after 5th grade or so). Those seemingly nice things said on television did a lot of damage to my generation. And now, the internet is destroying kids.

[@shadowprovesunshine]

Wow thata so poignant. A generation was truly raised by themselves and tv. I was taking care of my sister in like 4th or 5th grade. Unconscionable!

I followed my own rules instead of Gods. now I can never be intimate because of an std I contracted while living as a "floozie".

And then, we moved into the same town as Linda Blair! But somehow, I survived and found Jesus! Btw, Becket: "One Day At A Time", is also the name of a hit gospel song from some years ago: "One day at a time, sweet Jesus; that's all I'm asking of you...".

And thank you, Beckett, for faithfully doing His work!

[@melaniew4354]

I am exactly Valerie Bertinelli's (Barbara's) age and watched this show when I was in high school. I read Cosmopolitan magazine (much to my mother's chagrin) and all these messages got me so off track from my Christian upbringing. I bought into the idea being sold to other young women like myself, putting off childbearing in favor of building a career, and when i did have my 2 babies in my early 30s in the 90s, i was still buying into "having it all" and "quality time" that was being shoved in my face constantly. In my 40s i got deep into New Age-y stuff that i wasted about 15 years dabbling in. Now, at the age of 59 I have come fully back to my Heavenly Father. I deserve a better God than myself. I can't tell myself anything that I don't already know, nobody fails me more than me, nobody breaks promises to me more than me, yes, I need to find a better standard outside my imperfect self. We have all been marinated in this crap all our lives, and yes, I have had to accept that the indoctrination has been going on for decades and unplugging from that and coming back to Truth is the best gift I can give myself and God's forgiveness and offer of salvation is so astounding. I realized I knew about God, but I didn't KNOW God. I am working on that now.

Seriously, I am thankful for every day I get to walk with Jesus and throw off these trappings of the world.

[@samanthacook2495]

I can so relate to your story! Just turned 60 myself and used to buy at lot of magazines too, including Cosmopolitan which smelled so lovely and was more intellectual and less gossipy than other publications. Glamour was another one I liked even better than Cosmo, until the publishers succumbed to pressure and started including a horoscope section, cancelling out the very reason it had been my favourite magazine. Of course, those kinds of mags came with all that feminist propaganda that so many of us fell for; free sex and career before and above a husband and a family. Back then marriage seemed to be both a dirty word and a hideous concept for men and women alike, I suppose because the Baby Boomers had suffered so much at the hands of the very damaged after two World Wars Silent Generation and how their experiences had affected their parenting. We are all products of the times we live in, as well as our own humanity. Thankfully I have a relationship with Jesus now also and like you have found my way out of the maze, which for me included not just the New Age but the occult, substance abuse and other harmful things. Many others don't. To God be the glory!

I realized a few months ago that my beliefs about men and relationships have been heavily influenced by shows like One Day at A Time, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Phyllis, Rhoda, Alice, All In The Family, The Jeffersons and probably a host of other shows. With out me consciously being aware of it, I got the message NOT to expect to be provided for by a man or protected. These shows preached that you cannot rely on a husband and that you don’t need one. Worst of all, you cannot expect a man to stick with you through thick and thin; if you aren’t making your husband happy, he will leave you. I could go on about the negative messages these shows sent young kids and teenagers.

I've had this realization lately, too! All the "romance" in both comedies and dramas (even Star Trek!) as well as sexy, flirty & seductive characters, led me to believe women were supposed to act like this.

As always, I appreciate these biblical dissections of pop culture, especially considering your background in Hollywood.

55 years here, as a "heathen" with no rules but "gut feelings". I, too, found out, that this "sexual freedom" is destructive. Frankly, I found out the hard way, that after a while, you can't fall in love anymore. I found myself too cynical for that. All because I "exercised my freedom" sexually. Being born again now for 7 years (saved by God, not a decision I made) I can say that staying pure in this area is the best thing I've ever done in this area. I most likely will never get married, but that is a personal choice, not anything God keeps me from doing in His Word. Really enjoyed this video, Becket. Can't wait for next week's!

What a great show and commentary, Becket. I, too, grew up on these shows and they unfortunately greatly shaped my worldview given that our family was unsaved. But what I always appreciate about your videos is your great love for Jesus that just flows from your very being so naturally and abundantly. Thank you for your contribution to His kingdom! 💕

I used to watch , “The Waltons” and “Little House on the Prairie” and pretend I had a loving family like the ones in the shows.

Amen! It took me many years to get this concept even after I became a Christian. God knows what is best for us. The Bible's sexual ethic is GOOD for us. It's healthy . It protects all of us from so many things, pain, hurt, heartbreak, unwanted pregnancy, deadly disease and on and on.

[@gastronomist]

Who is the right person? The correct answer is: the person you're married to. I suspect that's not what the writers of the show meant.

[@livingformessiah586]

It’s crazy how I just watched One Day at a Time recently and didn’t realize how left leaning it was when I was a little kid. I have realized this about some of my favorite tv shows that I loved when I was just a little boy. You are absolutely correct. We were indoctrinated by everything

I realized the same thing when I decided to binge-watch Mary Tyler Moore while my husband did night shifts. I remembered it from the '70s just as funny, but as an adult, I was shocked and appalled at all the bad signals it gave, not least of which was "marriage never works out well."

Thank you so much for making this video! I used to watch re-runs of this show when I was in High School. I remember one of the episodes focused on the mother bringing men home and sleeping with them. I stopped watching those reruns after that lol. It is fascinating to see that the lies of the culture are embedded in certain vintage shows like One Day At A Time.

[@richardmyers1506]

Thank you for this podcast. I came of age during the late 70s and early 80s. I remember this show well. It's intriguing to look back on what shaped us. As a decade, I believe the 70s in particular, was a period that really tore many from our Christian roots. It was a time that introduced us to New Age religions, divorce became more common place and thru popular entertainment, the seeds of homosexuality we're being planted. I think it'd be of interest to many (not just myself) if you could take a deeper dive into the bad influences of that decade.

[@debbiegum2226]

Definitely The show “3’s Company” got us to accept homosexuality by getting us to laugh at it.

[@richardmyers1506]

@@debbiegum2226 I genuinely think, back then, much of the media and entertainment we're not necessarily promoting homosexuality (and other vices) but we're, instead, giving it mainstream exposure. Today however is a whole other matter. They are not only promoting it but they are practically enforcing it upon us. I took a brief look on TicTok and it's vile. They are not only making homosexuality look mainstream but they are, dare I say, adding themes of incest too. It's all leading towards a very horrible damnable path in the end. I pray true Christians stray far far away from this path.

[@audreyhepburn8633]

It always warms my heart and brings me closer to God when I hear your testimony and hear you praise Him. Thank you Becket !

[@leahannewoods6170]

I too grew up watching tv shows like “One Day at a Time”. I believe that the way I was raised, going to Presbyterian church on Sundays but the rest of the week not hearing God mentioned, is how I was able to fall into the new age as easily as I did later in my life. The culture when I was a young child, the late 70’s/early 80’s, I believe was the beginning of the indoctrination of the average American into Marxism. My parents were the first generation to not take Christian values as seriously. Their parents (my grandparents) were much more reverent to the church and Christian values. I’ve heard this same pattern for the majority of my friends who are my same age or around the same age as I am. I can see how sly the Marxist regime was when I remember how my parents were back then. I can see that they felt like they didn’t have anything to worry about in terms of actual Christian values going away. It’s like they felt like Christian values were automatically ingrained into people, so they had plenty of room to make fun of certain Christian values being tightly unkept by the older generation. To them it was fun to “know” that no one ever needed to be so uptight about upholding Christian values, and behind closed doors poke fun at some “more uptight” Christians like the older generation etc. They would watch Richard Pryor and enjoy listening to the Doobie Brothers etc behind closed doors. Never was the Bible, or God, or Jesus mentioned at our home. But as was expected of them, they appeared as decent upstanding Christian folks anytime they were out amongst people, anytime they were outside the house. It’s really a night and day difference in the attitude toward God and church of my grandparents time, and the time my parents were making their family household. And this difference came through American households at large I believe without anyone ever knowing it was happening. * By the way, I was married on September 20th (2008), the same day you were saved Beckett! I’m divorced. But if I had not fallen back into new age in my second year of marriage, I would still be married. I was officially divorced in October of 2018. I have been a born again Christian for two years now. -Leahanne (Mooresville, near Charlotte, NC)

[@amyqb117]

Thank you so much for sharing! My parents are very devout Christians and I too began to have the same thoughts as your parents. Luckily, I grew up part of a church that gave me a strong foundation in Christ but now I regret the days I made fun of my parents while I leaned towards a more Marxist view. Your testimony shows me how I must be careful of living "godly" outwardly without actually having the fruits. And how it can affect my children and those around me! God bless you!

[@kathyh4804]

“Feelings” got me in lots of trouble! God made us to not go by feelings .... there’s a consequence when we do things by feelings. I had a daughter out of marriage. It was my high school “sweetheart”, the only boy I ever “did it “ with. I end up pregnant 2 years later..... I wouldn’t have an abortion so he never saw me again. I have a beautiful daughter but she grew up with no father and I had the stigma of an “unwed mother “. There’s a reason God has these rule for us..... when we follow our misguided “feelings” allot of people end up getting hurt

[@elizabethann8228]

🤗Don't accept the stigma. You are redeemed by God and he knit your child together in your womb! You mothered your child, instead of giving in to pressure by adoption agencies and their social workers that told moms they would forget about their baby or having an abortion. You did the best you could at the time with what you did know. ❤️🕊

[@PyrPupMom]

@@elizabethann8228 Amen!!

[@marcusvaughn7019]

Becket, I grew up watching these shows too, and though I was in my early teens, I could see the "left wing" or down right Marxist programs that were created by Norman Lear. I recall an episode of Maud where the subject of abortion was viewed in a favorable light. Even as far back as "I Love Lucy," a show that I loved, but realized the show truly was a bad influence on people. Lucy managed to lie, cheat, steal, slip sleeping pills in Ricky's drink, but because it was a comedy, no one really noticed the sin that Lucy committed during each show. Good video Becket and Happy Birthday (born again) on Sept. 20th!

[@geraldtyus8645]

I wish parents would say to the offspring, even if you don't know what orientation your child is, to wait. Reason being is, value your body! You will not heal your abandonment or emotional issues through offering your body as a smorgasbord for multiple sex partners. Boys and girls need to know this.

[@marcikempf5162]

Great statement. I know I was also massively impacted by tv culture! Having watched Becket’s episode, gets me thinking that I SO wish that my church as a child and teen would have found a way to counter the indoctrination that was was going on. I was pretty oblivious back then. I’m curious what their stance was on much of it. My Baptist church. Now, 40 years later, I realize I had pretty low self esteem throughout middle and high school years. I’m sure tv culture impacted that. Throughout many of my Family stresses, parents health issues, sometimes really dysfunctional siblings, I really, am so glad my Mom was a strong Christian and spoke about those morals to me. I still strayed into worldly life for a few years as a young adult but I’m thankful for Gods mercy! Raising my children in these dark days has been quite the fight oftentimes. I have clung to our Lord Jesus and the Word. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.

[@monabrown3366]

I was in my early 20’s when I watched that show. The problem with those shows is that they never gave any compelling reasons not to wait until marriage. Obviously the mother in this show doesn’t have any moral reasons for saying no. But the reason they are showing ambivalence is because our society was ambivalent at the time. But these shows continually gave us reasons not to keep it in marriage. Now it’s no holds barred and someone who is shown as virginal is considered weird.

Great episode, thanks Becket. BTW the mom's name was Ann Romano.. can't believe I remember that. I remember all the theme songs of the 70s show too.

Yup, they normalized single motherhood. Government made it easy for couples not to work on their marriage’s because women could say I don’t need a man and get on welfare. Removing God from schools, etc…I was a single mom for a few yrs. Ultimately, we need God and everything falls into place.

[@09penny1]

I watch this show every night on Antenna TV along with others from the 70s. It's fun and nostalgic but like some of the other shows, some of the content didn't age well and is very disturbing. Women were seen as being liberated by rejecting marriage and the dialog made marriage seem loveless and boring. It never got to me as a kid because I had my parents and my grandparents as role models and they had great marriages although they struggled a few times with fidelity, they still stayed together and weathered it through. The most disturbing thing for me when I watch the show now is realizing what MacKenzie Phillips was going through at the time. She was so young and her father was feeding her drugs and convincing her that daughters having sex with their fathers was normal and that they had this special relationship. Her whole family accepted it as normal! I heard Chynna talk about it on her channel. The whole thing is chilling. I have so much respect for her that she survived that and seems to be thriving.

I always hate watching those episodes because why don't they ever say wait until marriage its always when you find the right person...what's crazy is that the parents never want them with anybody and are grateful at the end of the episode when they choose not to but when it comes down to it its always you will know when its time instead of saying wait until marriage...

Becket, as always, thank you for tackling these difficult subjects. Having been married for 39 years, I now know God says wait until marriage so that you can trust your mate every day after marriage. My handsome husband is a pilot fir the air lines. Since we waited until our wedding night, I’ve never once wondered if he was cheating on me. He loved me enough to cherish & wait until our wedding night to consummate our marriage. Gods ways truly are best.

[@australiainfelix7307]

This is an important video. But we need to acknowledge Norman Lear's goal of destroying one of Christianity's pillars stems from his upbringing (Lear's 'early life' section on Wikipedia provides the important clue). Jesus said love your enemy, from which we infer the existence of enemies. It's time we identified our enemies, and with love in our hearts resist their revolutionary spirit and guide them to accept Jesus as their savior.

[@SamAliMorr8905]

Once again, very encouraging. My dad is no longer living, but while he was alive he was asked to guest preach at another church even though he was really a music minister. I remember that he preached on finding our identity in Christ. Somewhere during the sermon, he referenced sitcoms that suck you in by getting you to laugh at sin. This was back in 1992 or 1993. Anyhow, this episode reminded me of his sermon. Of course, as a teenager then, I thought he was exaggerating and strict. However, I am so grateful for he and my mom. They were great parents who loved the Lord. Thanks again, Beckett.

I remember in the 60's the nuns at Catholic school would warn about TV programs. They were right. There used to be what was called the "Legion of Decency" in the 50's that reviewed films and graded them according what a Catholic was permitted to see, or rather what would put him or her in soul danger. They were RIGHT!!!

[@laurieomura7188]

100% right on. Thank you Beckett. I too grew up on these shows and fell into a life of meaningless, unfulfilling relationships. I bought the lies until I was spiritually born at 38 yo. We have all been bathed in the ideology of cultural Marxism through the medium of television... slowly and without even realizing it was happening. And social media gave a new voice for the propaganda of the Godless. But for those who have ears to hear, the Voice of Truth is deafening... Praise God

[@infinity4evr]

This was a good show, Becket. The message of this One Day At A Time episode really underscores the intended message to the audience. That it’s your feelings rather than the traditional Christian paradigm, which is the arbiter and guide regarding sexual matters. The mom foreshadows the final message when she mentions that sex is wonderful “for the right reasons”. And then the daughter finishes the sentiment when she mentions her “feelings”. She doesn’t feel right about it just yet and that’s the justifiable reason for withholding, but many an audience member will conclude, “hey it feels right for me. I don’t have any ambivalence about it. I’m going to do it.” That’s the intended takeaway here. However, as many have learned from experience in our decayed culture. GOD was right to regulate sex. And everyone else was wrong.

Praying the same intervention for my adult sons!! Thank u Beckett

[@dawncolayco9340]

It was hard being raised because our parents had the rules but they were taking them away because they were giving in to divorce sex and the single life because our parents were breaking all the rules . They had a hard time telling us right and wrong . Then as a teenager young people are left to figure it out. That’s often when parents let go and think they are done raising a child . Yes they are done raising a child but now they need to help someone be an adult. Parents aren’t done at teenage time its a shift of sharing consequences. That was the most helpful when I did get talked to. Punishment by parents need to shift for motivation to life consequences because it is. Thank God in college becoming Christian God gave me the answers and ways to get to that life. Lots of people don’t believe the sex before marriage leads to destructive consequences when they end up in love and married. But it is more rare than real is what people do not tell you.
