Cold Case Detective Confirms Christ: Interview with J. Warner Wallace - The Becket Cook Show Ep. 53

In today's episode Becket interviews J. Warner Wallace on his new book "Person of Interest: Why Jesus Still Matters in a World that Rejects the Bible." J. Warner Wallace is a Dateline featured Cold-Case Detective, Author, Speaker, Senior Fellow at the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, and Adjunct Professor of Apologetics at Talbot School of Theology (Biola University) and Southern Evangelical Seminary and he is a best-selling author of several books, including "Cold-Case Christianity." J. Warner Wallace uses an investigative technique called "fuse and fallout" to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the life and work of Jesus and his resurrection are true. We discover that the circumstantial evidence is so overwhelming that there is nothing left to do but believe.

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.

Becket I have had some depression lately and your show has put a smile on my face . Thank you so much : )

[joamick]

Fantastic! Thank goodness for people like this who can so eloquently and brilliantly describe the case for God!

[gingerstoudt]

This interview is great with a former atheist and cold case detective who proves the reality of Jesus. Hallelujah!!! Becket, you cover so many interesting and timely topics. 🙌 ♥

[annaetheriedge]

“You hold Him more precious because of the struggle it took you to get to Him” - why I listen to you Becket ❤️ precious & costly words

[Ginette]

This is encouraging: “Because you walked through life the way you did to find Jesus, you hold him in a way that is different then your believing friends in Dallas…you hold Him as more precious bc your journey to find Him was more significant.”
I don’t think the broken road is better....but this is so encouraging that for those of us that came to know Christ late..we may have something unique to offer in the kingdom and all the lost years were not wasted! As the word says: the last shall be first and the first shall be last. God is good.!!

Excellent book! JWW is so good at sharing the 'whole picture' of the truth of Jesus in such an enthusiastic and succinct manner! Brilliant interview! You two should combine forces more often - definitely a dynamic duo!

[romanticandperky]

J. Warner Wallace, I've read some of his stuff! The story of Our Lord is sort of like a murder mystery; a supernatural, divine one. It's great to see a true, 'cold-case' detective take this on. Amen.

[fallonmerri]

I have his book “Person of Interest”. It really opened my eyes to what he was saying in this interview. I was blessed by his book!

[John-skcm]

See, l keep telling everyone He's real. Thanks to you, Becket, l now have solid proof. Very compelling broadcast. And now I'm off to my local bookstore to pick up 'A Change of Affection' which l ordered & just came in. A new Becket Cook show & getting your book, both on the same day! I'm so blessed today l can't handle it.

[lacey]

I have a dear friend who received Jesus as an adult as you have, and he has so much regret because it took him so long to come to Christ. I think it is such a blessing that you can point out this person you were, and show who you are now. Praise God for those who receive Jesus as a child as I did, but it's so hard to remember who you were before Christ. You are such a blessing 😊

[TruthAboveAll]

Can I tell you how much i just LOVE starkly converted people? I went to church in my childhood. I accepted Jesus as my Savior at 16. I struggled and backslid through my early adulthood, and have quite steadily growing in faith for over 30 years.

But men like you both, who have basically been gob-smacked with faith in Jesus Christ are an absolute thrill and joy to listen to!

[shereemoon]

Absolutely fascinating! Want to read his books! So blessed to have him as a brother in Christ! How wonderful he has found his way to truth!

[lucyn]

Asking for prayer for my ex-husband who is having shoulder surgery. Thank you!

[kimber]

I was literally reading his book when the notice for this video came up!!

[gloriaelmore]

What a tremendous blessing this has been! Thank you both for sharing this wonderful conversation with us. 🎉❤

[MsManningMsManning]

Beckett, every time I listen to one of your shows, I get such peace. Truly anointed.

[gracehorizons]

Thanks for letting this guy have his voice. Wow. This was rivetting. Praise God.

[agustaharting]

I bought this book some months back and I find it very well researched and convincing!
I plan to lend it to several unbelievers in my circle of family and friends. Thanks for an excellent addition to my Cristian apologetics library 🙏🏻

[Tribunal]

This is such a fascinating and important topic. I’m amazed at God’s perfect timing and sovereignty. Thank you Beckett!
