In today’s episode, Becket chats with J Warner Wallace about his new book, “The Truth in True Crime: What Investigating Death Teaches Us About the Meaning of Life.”
In his book, Wallace explores the clues lying behind our human nature as he uncovers fifteen life-truths gleaned from both contemporary murder investigations and ancient Biblical wisdom, among them human beings were created:
For worship
For community
To pursue humility
To seek justice and mercy
Wallace uses his experience as a homicide detective to give one-of-a-kind look at human nature, the struggles we face, and how each of us desires and seeks Truth. By highlighting details of real-life death investigations, Wallace invites readers into the drama, only to find out what really matters in the end.

ABOUT BECKET:
Becket Cook was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. He attended Jesuit College Preparatory
School of Dallas. After graduating from college, 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.

Constantly raising the bar. I suspect this is one reason why LGBT is so popular. If one slakes one's lust often enough, it no longer satisfies, hence raising the bar.
Celebrity issues is among Christian celebrities, pastors, singers, teachers politicians, missionaries,. So many heroes. We forget the hero is Jesus. Thank you gentlemen for preaching God centered celebration.... Thank you Jim
Proverbs states “True humility and fear of the Lord, gives riches, honor and life”
I just love this interview. So much to contemplate. Thank you. I love what he says about idolatry.
God Bless
You ALWAYS have the Best guests with such diverse and unique voices!! Thank you for broadening my horizons intellectually and spiritually, Bro. ❤
God Bless
@@BecketCook Thank you❤️Blessing to you as well ✝️
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.
I first read Proverbs when I was about 18 or 19 yrs old. (KJV no less!) I was so blown away by how relevant it was for my life in this day and age! God's Word IS alive!
Amen! God Bless
Jim has a great testimony. Coming from an atheist upbringing and then finding Christ by applying his approach solving cold cases. God is amazing.
The amount of WISDOM in this one video is mind blowing! Thank you gentlemen for this talk... you have blessed us immeasurably!
Incredibly thought-provoking interview. And Inspector Lewis deserves a plug. Excellent series.
This was an amazing talk, so insightful & inspiring. I really feel I learned so much & appreciate it.
Another great interview full of wisdom!!! Thank you Becket and Jim for always giving God the glory and for all your hard work for the kingdom!!
God Bless
Thank you Becket and JW, for this Christ-honoring interview. It’s nothing to be ashamed of to know how much God has used both of you to impact many lives for His kingdom, but I appreciate JW’s conscientiousness about staying humble and making it all about the Lord and not himself. I know He will honor that sincere desire and continue to bless your ministry. I pray for you both as well as other faithful voices I’ve enjoyed listening to on RUclips (of all places) that the Lord will protect you and keep you from falling. Thanks for being lights in this world of darkness
Hey Becket 👋 I grew up in University Park and ended up at ESD! We belonged to St. Michaels and All Angels Episcopal Church. (AKA St. Minks and All Cadillacs)
My parents attended Cursillo back in early 70’s. Long story short Dad became a born again Christian. We left St. Michaels and attended Church of the Resurrection (now defunct).
Anyways I have been a subscriber for a little while and I really enjoy your channel! God bless you Becket! ✝️🙏
Thank you! God Bless
You two rock!! (Not in a celebrity style😂). In a loving wonderful God seeking way
I love this subject: humility on a healthy way.
"It has to go from an idol to a tool."
Wow. That is great.
Thanks for this - sobering. LORD, search my heart and yep, protect the hearts of my brothers too.
I have to chuckle at the timing of me listening to this episode today-hear me out on this please 😉 Today my family was flying back from a vacation to Brazil and one of the airports was DFW that we flew from. During our 5 hour layover, I joked with my husband that I was going to keep an eye out for a Becket sighting bc you’re from Dallas if I remember correctly. I didn’t think that bc I think of you as a celebrity. I see your humbleness in your life and know that Jesus is the real celebrity. Meeting you would be awesome though bc your testimony reminds me of God’s power and what it can do in a person’s life🎉🎉🎉 And this is what I pray for concerning my family affected by the lgbtq topic. Just trying to offer a different perspective-God is who I worship but your story gives me hope. ❤❤ Thank you 🙏
I haven't listened to this podcast yet, but I have read J. Warner Wallace's book, Person of Interest, definitely a must read for all Believers and non-believers alike. Great book!!
Elizabeth Elliot talks about how people want to find themselves - she quotes Goethe who said ‘I don’t know myself, only God knows who I am and may God deliver me from ever finding out’ So Goethe obviously had an insight on how dire our natures are
I just purchased 2 copies - because if I lend it I won’t see it again 😅
You are a patient host Mr. Cook! I was tense the entire interview because JWW rarely came up for air, overtalkng your comments. Like this is the Becket Book Show after all 😅😅
Would’ve been courteous of him to edit his responses, actually listen to not only your questions but your commentary in his answers.
I am most definitely a JWW fan but the interview felt like a giant run on sentence.
LOVED the exchange about humility ~ will likely grab the book.
Informative nonetheless!
Lewis is one of the best British crime dramas!
Loved this episode and love how God is using both of you in a mighty way in His work! ❤
I love Lewis. I’m a British mystery lover. I listen to cozy English mysteries on books on tapes. I think it’s because it takes me out of this mess of a world . I even named my three chickens after my favorite English female detectives. They are a white leghorn - Mis Marple , and two barred rocks- the thin one is Rosemary and the bigger one is Mrs Thyme . 😂
God Bless
Always giving us awesome time with special guests 😎
Haven’t been able to listen for awhile, but really glad to catch this interview. I have two of his books. Appreciate you both for speaking truth and being Godly men. 😇
This was incredible. Mr Wallace is a wonderful representation of Christ
Amen! God Bless
My husband is a retired cop and he is that way. No people
OOOOOOO........I just got his book....... Well, this is good timing for Mo!!!!!
Cold Case Christianity..... here tomorrow.
God Bless
We heard Mr Wallace in person at the Jersey Shore Apologetics conference. Awesome content
💝💝💝 thank you both! God bless 💝💝💝
Very much looking forward to this video thank you Becket! ❤
Deep connection with people is excruciating difficult noadays.😢
Humility is 💯 key to eternity ❗️
God bless you both🙏🏾❤️
Absolutely. I remember the ones in my life that loved me so truly to tell me the truth....
Good points and great reminder to keep Christ the focus, letting HIM increase and myself decrease. His book sounds really interesting.
I remember watching Inspector Lewis and really enjoyed it. I think you'll find one of the last episodes especially interesting.
Sherlock, Poirot and Miss Marple are classics too, I love how their authors weren't afraid to quote truths from the Bible.
No one was. It was common belief back in those days. Any old books demonstrate this, ie Anne of Green Gables, Robinson Crusoe etc etc
Midsommer murders and Rosemary and Thyme. I listen to Simon Brett books on tape on RUclips
Thanks Becket for a really great show. I love the humility that you and J Warner Wallace talk and walk❤
God Bless
Thank you Becket! ❤
Thanks a lot. God bless❗️
That’s not why women watch true crime. It’s just that human behaviour/psychology is fascinating.
I was about to say this. I think (generally) men tend to lean towards how mechanical things work whereas women try to understand how the brain works. What makes people tick? Why do they behave a certain way? Is rehabilitation possible?
I think it’s because we see justice and it makes us feel better as prey
Thank you 💙💙👊👊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for such a thought provoking interview! I think I'm going to suggest this book for a book club given that he discusses so deftly on the human condition. Isn't it sad that according to statistics Christians don't do any better on the virtues than nonbelievers 😢. This shows why God will always look at the heart, as should we - our own first!
Great interview!
This was very interesting, never heard this type of take on how criminal we are.. Our flesh is so prevailing in our lives... Listened to this while I played pyramid.. Thank you both....
Excellent!
I really enjoyed this episode, it was so, so interesting, so much wisdom in your guest. God bless You both!
Spot on
Great interesting conversation!
This was a great interview. Thank you. I think I would like to read this book. I was especially interested in knowing how to identify your idols. I believe satan can be very subtle in leading us down the wrong paths. Thank you both.
Great interview Becket- “what really makes you angry” as idol indicator - Roger that
Thank you Becket and J.W! A great interview. I've bought the book but I've got to finish the Unseen Realm first. Can't wait to start the book though.
Becket, you have to know that this was very hard for me to listen to. Why? Because of a certain person that’s been in my life, a certain family member who has been difficult to like, much less love. I have tried to be gracious, and for a time, it’s okay, until the time comes when I’m ignored or this person is rude to me. I’m not going to say that it’s only been one-sided, I have also shown my anger towards this person, it’s been as a reaction. I sincerely wish that this person wasn’t in my life, but I know I was placed in this situation to help this person have a deeper relationship with God, my own faith has been tested in a way that’s been very unexpected. And yes, pride has hindered us both. Nevertheless, I will not give up and I will speak gracious truth to this person when it’s needed. I don’t expect a friendship, just respect and have my life be an example of what God can do in our hearts. I’m still a long way, but I’m doing this for Jesus.
Great interview! 🤩👍🏻
Wonderful topic ❤😊
God Bless
How do you speak the truth to someone that has gone to church all their lives and they believe love is love. They always have to have the last word. Their heart is hardened. They believe the bible is up for interpretation
Pray that God send his Holy Spirit to soften their heart and that he give you opportunities to share the truth.
Yeah what You said it's true and it's so difficult to find Friends like the brother said, I wish I could have some but no.
Pray for that person because I knew a woman (a doctor who was quite prideful) at a church who didn't agree with what the Bible said about (same) sexual immorality and when we were discussing sin, she asked me: "you don't believe all that nonsense about Adam and Eve, do you?"
I shuddered at her arrogance that day.
She died within two years of that conversation 😳😢
@@Sunshine-lt6rpit is very hard!! My main friend is someone I only get to text and call because she lives far away
If you find you just can not talk to someone, take it up with the lord! He listens. And He will give you amazing feedback if you wait on him. I have received so many encouragements and instructions since talking to Him.
2 of my favorite people! 💕🙌🙏❤️
God Bless
So good. Thank you ❤
Great interview. Very thought provoking. Thank you
Thank you! God Bless
Thank you from Sweden🙌!
Thank you! God Bless
Yes, Inspector Lewis is great! Check out Foyles War and Endeavor..😆 Sorry for the shameless plugs for those shows!
God Bless
I don’t have access to TV right now but l also really enjoyed FOYLES WAR and ENDEAVOR.
Thank you
Loved this interview. ❤
So many comments to make. I have definitely struggled with the celebrity thing. I'm still unknown, and have avoided becoming famous, but the time may come when I get pushed out in front. My personal solution to this for now is to pray for humility before and after each talk I give, and to have a few people praying for me. Of course even asking someone to pray for you in this regard is a "humblebrag" so you need to ask one of the "deep divers". I can only write this post without humblebragging because I'm not famous!

Any chance you coming to NYC, Becket? We need to hear your story.
Becket, Great interview. I would have liked to have heard more of your thoughts on the subject oo but I know you graciously give space to the authors you interview.
Have you read the book Unseen Realm? I am in the process. Curious about your thoughts.

Crime has really been a turn-off for me, the stories I mean... Now this book sounds interesting because of the psychology of criminal behavior...Very interesting interview. . The scriptures nail it dead-on... ( not meant as a pun) Thank you...Good angle on this subject....
Wow you guys
Hi!
Wisdom of God!
Great content 😊
Thank you! God Bless
A Nation's identity was who they worshipped. Same with us as individuals.
Something to consider. When viewing this it is important as a viewer I need to see you. With AI and all the deception out there. I need to know it's you. Trust is very difficult I believe for all of us. I trust this source since all glory is given to the Lord God almighty. Please understand as a viewer I pray for the ministry. Father God please keep us from the sin of pride. Bless these truth tellers in Jesus mighty name. Amen
I too wish I could go back and change so many things. With age comes wisdom for sure. Hindsight is 20/20. Most younger people today don’t listen to advice from their elders, but there are some exceptions.
Regarding older crimes it’s fascinating to see so many of them solved through ancestry DNA databases. There are many convictions of very old men that thought they got away with the crime(s). In some cases the person has already passed away and some committed suicide not too long after the murder(s), rape(s), etc. They find them through their offspring and living relatives. In the case of rape they often took DNA from a rape kit and once DNA databases became available they opened cold cases and found a match. I can only imagine all the technology has many criminals shaking in their boots. Most were men, but there were some women in the ones I have watched, but these days women are committing more crimes. In finding the culprit, he’s right about three proximity principle, but sometimes it was a very random crime and out of the blue.
Celebrities typically fall. Beware. Jim, you ought to pack up the stuff on your self-described "glory wall." Walk the talk
God is love, and love is love.
I am not sure I understand your comment
Nah...God is love, and truth is love and Jesus is truth.
Being a victim of a crime does not absolve a person from their accountability or personal responsibility. Victim blaming is yet another trendy term meant to shut the mouths of people who speak the truth.
Some pop psychology from a non-psychologist. I think women like true crime for the same reason kids like dinosaurs. Knowing a lot about a scary topic makes them feel like they have some control over it. My wife is always pointing out how women need to be more concerned about personal security than men.
As a woman, I can confidently say we like true crime because we find it valuable to learn from real life situations where real women like us were tortured, raped, and murdered, so we can glean some information about how to avoid such situations in our own lives.
We're told our entire lives that things like that can happen to us. We like to know how to protect ourselves and spot warning signs in predators.
I thought Beckett was interviewing Anderson Cooper! 😂
:)
Becket you were a very gracious host. I labored through to listen but the show was hijacked. Unfortunate because I’ve gotten a lot from him when he puts out his work. I didn’t realize he had this ‘doesn’t play well with others’ mode. It seems to me there aren’t enough soapboxes to go around. Ironic it dealt so much with humility. Good job Becket on everything I’ve heard. Please keep it up.
Times change - people don't.
be carefulnot to get into yourself and your motives. Go back and read CS Lewis The Screwtape Letters. Keep your focus on the Gospel not circumstances. You could go in the rabbit hole so deep that you truly lose your way. Be careful'
Can’t believe Americans have never seen Luis. Have you ever see Agatha Christie? 😂 OMG!

So many Christian celebrities that are soooo rich. They have so much to give to so many in need. A re they doing it?
I can’t grow facial hair either!
Yes… celebrity worship is idol worship.
JBP is an idol for many….
I'm so glad I'm not public.. Like being incognito.... Deleted my nickname ...
The fall of false teacher/pastor Robert Morris; he told a friend years ago that God told him, “I want to make you famous so you can make Me famous.” 😏
I read that quote too and my immediate thought was: that wasn't God who told you that. It was Satan.
Matthew chapter 4 tells us how Jesus responded to Satan's offer to make him famous...
That woman's son's didn't do well because they didn't have a father. Nothing to do with how she raised them. Fathers socialize children
Dear Brother Becket
God understood that He had to become human so we can know Him and follow His living examples, so that we would be able to live on earth as in heaven
To be able to achieve that, He gave us His Church and His authorized shepherds, to help and guide us on our journey on earth
He is truly present in His Church, at His dwelling place on earth (Tabernacle), as He had said that He will be with us until the end of time
He invites us to unite with Him everyday at His dwelling place on earth, in the celebration of the Eucharist (thanksgiving)- the marriage supper of the Lamb
John 6
53 So Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54 Those who eat My flesh and drink My blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; 55 for My flesh is true food and My blood is true drink. 56 Those who eat My flesh and drink My blood abide in Me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats Me will live because of Me.
Honor Him by accepting His invitation!
Several things in this comment go against what's written in the New Testament.
In the New Testament we are told numerous times that Jesus sits at the right hand of God and that he indwells true believers (2 Corinthians 13:5) through the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17, Romans 8:9, 1 Corinthians 3:16 etc).
There's NOTHING in the New Testament about him being anywhere else.
You are trusting in the tradog man.
I also suggest you read the warnings in 1st John 4:2-3 & 2nd John verse 7.
That'll the EPISTLES of John (not the Gospel although obviously it needs to be known too!).
Everyone I meet who has wrong ideas about God and His son and Messiah ("God's anointed one") do not know the New Testament and have never read - or barely read - the epistles of John.
