How Did We Get Here?
The world may seem like it is going crazy, but there really is a plan and there really is an enemy behind it. In the six part study, Know Thy Enemy, Dr Jeremiah J. Johnston and Steve Deace unpack WHO is the real enemy that we are up against and HOW we can defeat him. Each study includes a video with a clip from the film, Nefarious, as well as a discussion on the week’s topic with Dr Jeremiah J. Johnston and Steve Deace. Bible study participants will go deeper with the associated study guide that includes deeper dive questions and insights to encourage digging into God’s Word. Each book also includes a leader guide to give study leaders the tools they need to walk their group through the study together. We have an enemy. He is real. And Christ has already defeated him. Let’s live in that victory.Know Thy Enemy
Who is Nefarious?
On the day of his scheduled execution, a convicted serial killer gets a psychiatric evaluation during which he claims he is a demon, and further claims that before their time is over, the psychiatrist will commit three murders of his own.

What Participants Are Saying
Great for Small Groups
First I thought the movie was excellent--and thrilled to find this as a supporting study. My small group just completed it and it was excellent.
God is Actually MUCH MORE Powerful!
It is imperative that Christians understand exactly who Satan is…. and how we can navigate a world where Satan is present, but with the understanding that our God is actually MUCH MORE powerful.
An Absolute Must Companion to Nefarious
Absolutely loved this study…., an absolute must companion to the movie and understanding of evil in our world.
