In this episode of The Becket Cook Show, Becket sits down with Vlad, a young man who was convinced he was born gay and lived that identity for years—secretly, painfully, and hopelessly. Growing up in rural Romania with a nominal faith, Vlad slowly fell into pornography, hookup culture, and deep isolation. His life spiraled in Germany where depression and addiction took over, even while he still called himself a “Christian.”

But then something unexpected happened. A testimony on this very channel interrupted everything. That video led to real Bible study, real confession, real community, and ultimately—a real encounter with Jesus Christ.

Vlad moved to London, walked into a global Christian gathering, and there, surrounded by believers, he finally understood the cross. He chose repentance, baptism, and a new life in Christ. Since that moment, everything is different. Temptations still exist, but he is no longer alone, no longer hopeless, and no longer defined by his past.

This is a story about identity, deception, love, spiritual warfare, and the power of God to rescue anyone. Share this with someone who needs hope.
