"Who will rid me of this troublesome priest?!"These words supposedly uttered by a King over 800 years ago set in motion a chain of gruesome events, and sparked cult-like devotion across the world.Dr. Eleanor Janega and Matt Lewis consider Becket's meteoric rise in status to becoming the Archbishop of Canterbury, his increasingly fractious relationship with King Henry II, the vicious murder itself and finally, how the cult of St Thomas of Canterbury spread across the European continent. But how did Thomas Becket first rise to power and prominence?

How To Make A Killing - Todsicheres Erbe | Glen Powell als mörderischer Erbe: Lohnt sich die schwarze Komödie über Reichtum und tödliche Familienbande? Der Billionaires Club vom Tele-Stammtisch, vertreten durch Sam, Sero und Stu, hat sich bei Champagner und Kaviartrüffelhäppchen zusammengefunden, um über "How to Make a Killing – Todsicheres Erbe" zu sprechen, der ab dem 9. April in den deutschen Kinos startet. Der Film folgt Becket Redfellow (Glen Powell), einem charmanten, gebildeten Erben, der fest davon überzeugt ist, Anspruch auf das Vermögen seiner Familie zu haben, nachdem seine Mutter einst enterbt und verstoßen wurde. Nach ihrem Tod will er sich zurückholen, was ihm seiner Meinung nach zusteht – doch sieben Verwandte stehen ihm im Weg. Also beginnt Becket, ebenso raffinierte wie tödliche „Unfälle“ zu planen, die nicht auf ihn zurückfallen dürfen, während er zugleich seine Beziehung zu Ruth aufrechterhält und durch das plötzliche Wiederauftauchen seiner Jugendliebe Julia (Margaret Qualley) zusätzlich aus dem Takt gerät. Kurz gesagt: klassisches Milliardärs-Chaos. Ob sich das angesichts stetig steigender Kinopreise wirklich lohnt und wie sich Sonnyboy Powell in seiner ganz eigenen Version von „Adel verpflichtet“ schlägt, erfahrt ihr im Podcast.

Williams joins to analyze Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's service at the Pentagon in which he prayed imprecatory prayers against America's enemies.

In today's episode, Becket Cook interviews Jeff Johnson, a worship leader from Atlanta, who shares his powerful testimony of how God delivered him from a hidden life of same-sex attraction. From childhood trauma and secret encounters in high school and college, to surrendering at Passion conference while battling ongoing desires, Jeff reveals the shame, double life, and eventual confession to his future wife Jordan. Her grace-filled response led to counseling, radical surrender, and an inspiring journey to marriage. Now married 15 years with three kids, Jeff and Jordan discuss building transparency, community accountability, and choosing holiness over desires. With a surprising twist from Becket and strong encouragement for those struggling, this conversation proves that with God all things are possible and true identity is found in Christ alone.

On the latest installment of the podcast, Dion Baia and J. Blake step into the Quantum Leap Accelerator on a mission to travel back to May 5, 1993, and right a very specific wrong: the unjust negative reaction to the Quantum Leap series finale, “Mirror Image.”The guys begin by unpacking the show's creation, its brilliance, the rules of leaping, and some of the series' most memorable moments. They then dive into the controversial series finale—analyzing the story, the characters, the dialogue, and the creative choices, and then theorize about what it all means. Dion explains a few interesting fan theories. Blake describes his Mandela Effected memories about the episode. They discuss the recently discovered alternate ending and where the show could've gone had it continued, and then console each other over the heartbreaking conclusion the show ended up with—each describing what they think happened to Dr. Sam Beckett (or is it Becket?). So put on your white leotards, step into the Accelerator with the fellas, and get ready as Ziggy and Gooshie send Dion and Blake back in time to explore one of television's greatest series and most controversial finales, on this detailed and philosophical edition of SATURDAY NIGHT MOVIE SLEEPOVERS!!!

Powell plays Becket Redfellow who was disowned at birth by his obscenely wealthy family. His mother does the best she can to raise him on her own. When she becomes terminally ill she urges Becket on her deathbed to reclaim his inheritance. We've got a review of the dark comedy plus via the Trailer Tapas segment a look at three movies arriving in cineplexes in the coming months.   Recommendation from our host in this episode- A Little Prayer   Footcandle Film Society

In today's episode, Becket Cook welcomes theologian and author Aaron Edwards back to the show to discuss his latest article, “The Feminist Gaze and the Wisdom of God,” and the growing controversy surrounding the Church of England’s stance on same-sex blessings, the “Living in Love and Faith” process, and shifting theology within Anglican leadership. Aaron shares why he became a “theologian in academic exile,” explains how progressive theology often pits Jesus vs. Paul to reinterpret Scripture, and explores why that approach ultimately undermines biblical authority and historic Christian teaching. Together, they examine feminism in the church, cultural pressure on clergy, the role of compromise in mainline denominations, and what it means to trust the wisdom of God over the wisdom of the age.

It's Wednesday, January 7th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Sudanese military killed 11 Christians Tragically, the military of Sudan killed a group of Christians on their way to church on Christmas morning last month. The Sudanese Armed Forces targeted the group with a drone strike, killing at least 11 Christians and injuring 18 more.  A Christian attorney in the area told Morning Star News, “The church [building] was not hit, but a congregation who were marching in procession towards the church were targeted.” Sudan's military is in conflict with various rival forces in the country's ongoing civil war. Sadly, Christians are caught in the crossfire, facing increased attacks and violence in the Muslim-majority country.  According to Open Doors, Sudan is the fifth most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Canadian Christians upset: Quoting Bible can be “hate speech” Liberal lawmakers in Canada are trying to remove a religious exemption from the country's hate speech laws. Currently, people cannot be convicted of hate speech if they make a statement in “good faith” based “on belief in a religious text.” The Christian Institute warns that quoting the Bible could be criminalized as hate speech under the new proposal. Andrew Lawton, a conservative Member of Parliament from Ontario, commented, “[The Liberals] are prepared to mount … a full-scale assault on religious freedom.” Psalm 94:20-21 asks, “Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, have fellowship with [the Lord]? They gather together against the life of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.” Hegseth tours America's hypersonic weapons On Tuesday's Worldview newscast, we said, “The United States has yet to deploy its hypersonic technology -- it is still in the testing phase.” Upon closer examination, according to The War Zone, we can report that War Secretary Pete Hegseth recently toured the Redstone Arsenal in Alabama to examine America's long-range Dark Eagle hypersonic boost-glide vehicle weapon system. During his visit, Hegseth designated the installation as U.S. Space Command's new headquarters. The Army's Dark Eagle, also known as the Long Range Hypersonic Weapon, is a trailer-launched hypersonic boost-glide vehicle system that can travel long distances at hypersonic speeds, with velocities in excess of 3,800 miles per hour, while maneuvering erratically through Earth's atmosphere. This makes it an ideal weapon for striking high-priority and time-sensitive targets that are extremely well defended. It's the first true hypersonic weapon slated for frontline U.S. service. The same missile architecture is being adopted by the Navy for sea-launch under the Intermediate Range Conventional Prompt Strike weapon system. During a show-and-tell of Army missile systems, Lieutenant General Francisco Lozano, Director of Hypersonic, Directed Energy, Space and Rapid Acquisition, told Hegseth that Dark Eagle has a 2,100-mile range. Members of the media were also present at the event, which was captured on video by C-SPAN. Colorado must pay $5 million over trying to shut down pro-life clinic In the United States, Colorado must pay $5.4 million in a lawsuit involving a pro-life healthcare clinic.  The state tried to ban abortion pill reversal and shut down a Denver-area pro-life clinic. Bella Health and Wellness fought back and won their case with the help of The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.  Rebekah Ricketts, senior counsel at Becket, said, “At least 18 moms who received abortion pill reversal care at Bella just celebrated Christmas with babies born during this case. All Coloradans should celebrate those little miracles and the brave medical team at Bella that helped their moms when no one else would.” Vandal of J.D. Vance's home is trans Democrat The U.S. Secret Service arrested a man on Monday who caused property damages at the Ohio home of Vice President J.D. Vance. The man used a hammer to break four windows on the front of the home. He also vandalized an unmarked Secret Service vehicle. The man has been identified as 26-year-old William DeFoor. He pretends to be a woman and goes by the name “Julia.” His father. Dr. Bob DeFoor, is a prominent urology surgeon and a mega Democrat donor. Vice President Vance responded on X. He wrote, “I appreciate everyone's well wishes about the attack at our home. ... I'm grateful to the Secret Service and the Cincinnati police for responding quickly. We weren't even home as we had returned already to D.C.” Corporation for Public Broadcasting dissolves over Trump defunding The board of directors of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting voted Monday to dissolve the organization after losing federal funding.  Congress created the nonprofit in 1967 to support public broadcasting in America. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has distributed hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars each year to public stations through National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting System.  However, President Donald Trump has accused such outlets of spreading misinformation. In line with this, Congress defunded the Corporation for Public Broadcasting last summer.  Republican Congressman of California died Tuesday House Republicans announced Tuesday that Rep. Doug LaMalfa of California died at the age of 65, reports the Western Journal. The announcement was shared in a statement posted by the official House Republicans X account.

BADVRIL is an active American grunge band based in San Francisco, known for their "chaotic, narcotic grunge sound" that blends small-town isolation with the energy of city life. The band is led by Becket Schroeder and closely accompanied by Tessa Piccillo."BADVRIL is a band that thrives on the tension between small-town isolation and the frenetic energy of city life. Originally from the backwoods of Washington, Badvril now calls San Francisco home. The contrast between two worlds is central to their chaotic, narcotic grunge sounding visually arresting art. Led by Becket Schroder and closely accompanied by Tessa Piccolo, the duo brings their personal experiences together to create the narrative that defines the Badvril identity." "Badvril's debut album “IN HEAVEN” didn't premier at a trendy club or online drop-it was first played for inmates at Washington State Penitentiary. A bold introduction that speaks volumes about what Badvril stands for: unfiltered honesty, defiance of convention, and a deep connection to the overlooked." Thanks for listening!!!

Larry Beckett and his musical partner Tim Buckley had success in the 96's with songs like “Song to the Siren”, “No Man Can Find the War” and “Morning Glory”. In addition to his poetry, Larry translates international books in various languages into English. His latest project is an album translating the songs of one of his favorite artists, Jacques Brel, both musically and literally. We talk about this and much more in this fine hour devoted to beautiful music. #jacquesbrel #larrybeckett #timbuckley #theothersofinvention #herbcohen #FredNeil Theme by David T and Mojo 3https://www.amazon.com/Insanity-Sobri...Larry Beckett on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/track/0FXArScR3EYssCbN5ptJFvThe Antisocial Networkhttps://www.youtube.com/@ASN4LIFEYeah Uh Huh Social Stuff:Yeah Uh Huh on TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@yeahuhhuhpodYeah Uh Huh on Facebookhttps://facebook.com/YeahUhHuhPodYeah Uh Huh on Twitterhttps://twitter.com/YeahUhHuhPodYeah Uh Huh on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7pS9l716ljEQLeMMxwihoS?si=27bd15fb26ed46aaYeah Uh Huh on Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yeah-uh-huh/id1565097611Yeah Uh Huh Website:https://yeah-uh-huh.wixsite.com/yeahuhhuhpodYeah Uh Huh WebsiteHome | YeahUhHuhPod (yeah-uh-huh.wixsite.com)Yeah-Uh-Huh on YoutubeYeah Uh-Huh - YouTubeYeah Uh Huh on Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yeah-uh-huh/id1565097611

In this episode of The Becket Cook Show, Becket sits down with beloved pastor, author, and speaker Francis Chan for one of the most vulnerable, powerful conversations he’s ever had. Francis opens up about his lifelong struggle with insecurity, fear of rejection, and striving for God’s approval — and the radical encounter that changed everything. This episode is packed with wisdom, Scripture, honesty, and encouragement. If you’ve ever struggled with fear, insecurity, dryness in prayer, or feeling distant from God… this conversation will deeply strengthen your faith.

In 2010, the Supreme Court issued a consequential opinion that stifled the freedom of association across countless campuses when it came to religious groups. In CLS v. Martinez, in a divided 5-4 opinion, the Court opened the way for universities to limit group association by refusing to grant them power to elect those leaders best suited to carry on that group's mission and purpose. In a forthcoming article (here) in the Texas Review of Law and Politics, my guest today, Benjamin Fleshman, covers the infamous Martinez decision and the problem it created for student organizations across the country. Given the closeness of this topic to my own work, we discuss in some detail the infamous "all comers" policy (see this and this) still upheld in some law schools, e.g., UC-Berkeley (see this), nature of student organizations, the importance of recent Supreme Court decisions (see recent FCA en banc decision in the Ninth Circuit and then the other mentioned FCA case in Washington, D.C.), the recent attempts to strengthen group access (see this), and more. Benjamin joined The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty as Counsel in 2023. His work there focuses on appellate litigation in both state and federal courts. Prior to joining Becket, Ben worked as an associate at Shearman & Sterling in Washington, D.C., where he practiced antitrust law and complex commercial litigation. Before entering private practice, he served as a law clerk to Judge Jennifer Walker Elrod of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Full bio.

What if your child's school introduced storybooks promoting one-sided ideology on gender and sexuality—and refused to let you opt out? That's what happened in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the school board mandated storybooks about topics like gender transitioning, Pride parades, and pronoun preferences for kids starting in pre-K. A diverse group of religious parents took the school board all the way to the Supreme Court—and won. In this episode of Becket's Stream of Conscience podcast, attorney Eric Baxter interviews parents Chris and Melissa Persak and Jeff and Svitlana Roman on their journey to the Court and what this victory means for parental rights, religious freedom, and public education nationwide.

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.

Growing up as a pastor’s kid in Missouri, Lare struggled with feelings of rejection and same-sex attraction from an early age. Though he loved Jesus deeply, he wrestled for years to reconcile his faith with his desires — until he discovered his true identity in Christ. Through grace, perseverance, and obedience, Lare chose to trust God’s design, ultimately finding freedom, peace, and purpose in his walk with Christ. Today, Lare is married to his wife Amy and is the father of four children. His story is a testament to God’s faithfulness, showing that no struggle is beyond His redemption. In this honest and heartfelt conversation, Lare and Becket discuss faith, identity, and the power of God to transform lives — a message of hope for anyone seeking truth and wholeness in Jesus.

In today's episode, former MTV Real World: Denver cast member Davis Mallory joins Becket Cook to share his powerful testimony of redemption — from coming out as gay on national television to hearing directly from God through supernatural dreams that transformed his heart and life. After 20 years of living as a “gay Christian,” Davis experienced a radical awakening: prophetic encounters, convicting dreams, and a renewed understanding of God’s truth about sin, identity, and freedom in Christ. In this raw and emotional conversation, Becket and Davis unpack childhood wounds, fatherlessness, the deception of hedonism, and the true joy that comes from obedience to Jesus.

Send us a textMichele McAloon is the host.  You can find more interviews on her website https://www.bookclues.com.The name Thomas Becket echoes through history as one of medieval England's most compelling figures – a man whose dramatic transformation from royal chancellor to martyred archbishop continues to captivate our imagination nearly a millennium later. In this episode, we're joined by Professor Michael Stotten from University College Dublin, a medieval historian whose expertise brings this extraordinary 12th-century drama to vivid life.Born to Norman merchant parents in bustling London around 1120, Becket's early years gave little indication of his eventual fame. Far from displaying early signs of sainthood, he dropped out of studies in Paris, drifted without purpose, and eventually found employment as a clerk. It was only after joining Archbishop Theobald's household that his remarkable administrative talents began to shine.When young King Henry II ascended the throne in 1154, Becket was appointed Royal Chancellor, beginning what contemporary accounts describe as one of history's greatest friendships. The two hunted, feasted, and worked together to strengthen royal governance across England – until everything changed in 1162. Henry's decision to appoint his trusted friend as Archbishop of Canterbury triggered an unexpected spiritual transformation in Becket, who suddenly began defending church privileges against royal authority with unyielding determination.The friendship rapidly deteriorated as king and archbishop clashed over jurisdiction, culminating in Becket's six-year exile in France. Though peace was eventually negotiated allowing his return to England in 1170, Becket immediately reasserted his authority by excommunicating bishops who had participated in the coronation of Henry's son – a direct challenge to royal power.The shocking climax came on December 29, 1170, when four knights, interpreting Henry's frustrated outburst as a command, murdered Becket in Canterbury Cathedral during evening prayers. The brutality of killing England's highest churchman in his own cathedral stunned medieval Europe. Almost immediately, pilgrims reported miracles at his tomb, and within three years, Thomas Becket was canonized as a saint.Professor Stotten guides us through this remarkable story with expert insight, explaining how Becket's cult spread throughout Europe and how, ironically, Henry II himself eventually embraced it – transforming his former friend from a symbol of resistance to royal power into a unifying national saint.Listen now to discover how the complex relationship between Thomas Becket and Henry II changed the course of English history and left a legacy that continues to resonate with themes of power, duty, friendship, and faith that feel surprisingly modern.

The culture of freedom we enjoy in the United States is deeply shaped by religious minorities seeking to honor God in their beliefs and orders of worship from the colonial period to the present day. Marc Wheat, General Counsel for Advancing American Freedom,  introduced the historical and legal context for the First Amendment, thereby establishing the foundation for our Friday Forum titled “Religious Liberty and Parental Opt-Outs: School Choice at the Supreme Court” in partnership with Becket. Support the show

It's Wednesday, August 27th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark India threatens life in prison for sharing Christ Christians may face life in prison for simply sharing the Gospel in India. The country's northern state of Uttarakhand amended its anti-conversion law last week. Violations are now punishable by life imprisonment. The law also cracks down on sharing one's faith through social media. Rev. Vijayesh Lal told Morning Star News, “These provisions, with penalties up to life imprisonment, represent some of India's harshest anti-conversion measures and could turn ordinary conversations about belief into criminal acts.” Please pray for the church in India. The country is ranked 11th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian.  Trump imposes 50% tariffs on India over funding Russian war The U.S. imposed new tariffs on exports from India starting today. The tariffs come in response to India's continued purchasing of Russian oil. President Donald Trump's levies on Indian exports are at 50% now. India has become one of the top buyers of Russian oil since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. The Trump administration is accusing India of effectively funding Russia's war through its oil purchases.  5,000 Irish march for Jesus Around 5,000 people joined the March for Jesus in Belfast, Northern Ireland over the weekend. Rev. John Ahern organized the event. He told Christian Daily International, “As the people of God, if we're willing to humble ourselves and pray, as the Bible says in 2 Chronicles 7:14, and turn from our wicked ways, God has promised to hear from Heaven, forgive our sin and heal our land.” The event builds on last year's march in Dublin where about 12,000 Christians participated. Another march in Dublin is scheduled for next month.  2 Chronicles 7:14 says, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” Minnesota Christian colleges allowed to offer free credit to high schoolers A U.S. District Court ruled in favor of faith-based colleges in Minnesota last Friday. Previously, the state barred such colleges from offering free college credit to high school students. Minnesota parents successfully challenged the decision with the help of The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.  Diana Thomson, senior counsel at Becket, said, “Minnesota tried to cut off educational opportunities to thousands of high schoolers simply for their faith. That's not just unlawful—it's shameful. This ruling is a win for families who won't be strong-armed into abandoning their beliefs, and a sharp warning to politicians who target them.” D.C. hospital halts transgender drugs on minors ABC News reports that Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C. will no longer offer transgender drugs to minors.  It's the latest hospital in the U.S. to stop offering so-called “gender transition” drugs. Other hospitals to make similar decisions include Yale Medicine, Kaiser Permanente, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, and UChicago Medicine.  These decisions follow President Trump's executive order to end federal funding for transgender procedures on minors. U.S. gov't owns 10% of Intel stocks Last Friday, Intel announced an $8.9 billion investment in the company's stock by the U.S. government. This means the government will own about 10% of the computer chip manufacturer. The deal converts government grants into equity share in the company.  On Truth Social, President Trump wrote, “The United States paid nothing for these Shares, and the Shares are now valued at approximately $11 Billion Dollars. This is a great Deal for America and, also, a great Deal for INTEL.” 100-year-long German prayer chain And finally, this week is the anniversary of when a Christian community in Herrnhut, Germany began a round-the-clock “prayer chain.” The community started after Count Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf opened his estate to Protestant refugees. On August 27, 1727, dozens in the community committed to pray, in turns, every hour of every day. The prayer chain reportedly lasted over one hundred years. The Moravian community went on to send hundreds of missionaries around the world, becoming the spearhead of Protestant missions.  Colossians 4:2 says, “Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, August 27th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Thomas Becket is probably medieval England's most famous martyr and saint – yet the circumstances of his life are overshadowed by his infamous feud with King Henry II, and his shocking murder in Canterbury Cathedral one winter's evening in 1170. Emily Briffett speaks to historian and author Michael Staunton to chart how Becket rocketed to power from humble origins, before dramatically switching from close royal ally to the thorn in Henry II's side. (Ad) Thomas Becket is the author of Thomas Becket and His World (Reaktion Books, 2025).
