Sean Patrick Flanery, star of the new horror-thriller film "Nefarious," revealed how he often responds when people say they can't embrace faith and belief because they're unable to "explain it."

"I've reached a point in my life where my convictions are probably more well-rooted," the actor told CBN's Faithwire. "I meet a lot of friends that they say, "Well, I don't believe, because I can't explain it. For me, that's exactly why I believe, because I can't explain it."

Flanery said there are plenty of dynamics in life he can't explain, and referenced the unlikelihood human existence and its complexities essentially emerged from nothing.

"I can't explain a self-moisturizing, auto-focus eye coming into existence simply because two rocks banged into each other," he said. "[Us] sitting here by random chance is about as likely as the assemblage of a Boeing 747 from a tornado whirling through a junkyard."

Flanery, who was born in Louisiana and grew up in Texas, said he has felt this way for "years," and that having children was a "big catalyst" for solidifying his worldview — one that perfectly suited him to take on "Nefarious."

The movie takes a starkly different tone and tenor from other faith-based films, tackling evil, possession, and spiritual warfare through the story of a possessed inmate (Nefarious, played by Flanery) on death row. The bulk of the film is a fascinating narrative between Nefarious and psychiatrist Dr. James Martin (portrayed by Flanery's co-star Jordan Belfi). Find out more.
