Summary

There certainly has been something nefarious going on with the making of the movie 'Nefarious'. Sicknesses, accidents, technical difficulties, and much more disrupted the production of the new film (reminiscent of C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters) released on April 14th. Were these accidents all the result of mere coincidences? Or was true spiritual warfare at play?

This week, Frank interviews Steve Deace, the writer of the novel 'A Nefarious Plot', to discuss the good, the scary, and the downright strange occurrences that took place while working on the book’s film adaptation. In spite of all of the events that could’ve brought this film to a halt, 'Nefarious' has finally hit theaters and is a film that both Christians and non-Christians are guaranteed to enjoy!

Later in the episode, Frank responds to a listener's question regarding the difference between sexual desire and lust. Is all sexual desire a sin? All this and more is discussed in this chilling podcast discussion that you don’t want to miss! Be sure to grab a friend or your church small group to go support this film! A good old-fashioned thriller film with the Christian worldview lying just beneath the surface could be a great conversation starter, even for the hardened skeptic!
