Movie Deep-Dive: Nefarious | Revealed by Fire | Ep 8

In today’s Revealed by Fire episode, we discuss the 2023 movie Nefarious. We center on the film’s primary topic of spiritual warfare, noting its similarity to C.S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters. We also discuss atheism and common spiritual law, the difference between guilt and conviction, the Cross of Christ, and a host of other meaty topics. (Please note this movie is rated R. Before watching, we recommend you listen to the portion of our discussion entitled “Warning about movie and this podcast episode.”)
