Are you ready to change your narrative and live a different story today? If you're weary from the struggle and ready to experience life as God intended, this book will help you explore the tactics of Satan, equip you to overcome spiritual battles, and remind you of the victory already secured through Jesus.

There is an Enemy among us. You may know who he is, but you may not know what he is about. Do you know how he wages war? Do you know how he targets you specifically? He's the Villain who wants to change your story in the hopes you live isolated, powerless, discouraged, and defeated.

Satan has waged a war with the Almighty, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, and his sole desire is to keep you from God's goodness. He knows that he has been defeated by Jesus' death and resurrection, but until the final battle when he is cast into hell for eternity, he and his demons roam the earth like a roaring lion looking for anyone to devour. He is far more disruptive to our lives than we realize, and it's time to take action. In Your Story Has a Villain, bestselling author Jonathan "JP" Pokluda will help you:

  • Stand against the thief of life, who wants to take you out.
  • Understand the tactics the Enemy utilizes in your life.
  • Align yourself with God through prayer as you battle each day.
  • Rely on the truth and power of Scripture to counter the Enemy's lies and accusations.
  • Know that Jesus has already defeated Satan, so you can live victoriously.
  • Yes, your story has a villain, an unseen enemy disrupting your life more than you realize. But remember the hero, Jesus Christ, who came so that we may "have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). We know the grim, eternal outcome for Satan and his demons, but the battle still rages. Are you ready to fight back, find freedom from sin and toxic thinking, and walk in the abundant life available to you?

        While cast in popular culture as a “chubby little red guy with horns and a pitchfork,” Satan—along with other evil spirits “whose sole mission is to oppose God and his plans”—constitutes a pressing threat to believers, according to this overzealous guide. Pastor Pokluda (Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want to Do?) characterizes “the Enemy” as a pervasive force with “an active plot to cause you pain and suffering” that particularly enjoys “enslaving” believers to “sin, addiction, and anything else” that distracts from their faith. Much of the author’s advice comes down to living a life so suffused with faith that the devil can find no way in—a “constant, daily process” of “filling your mind with truth” via scripture, religious podcasts, and worship songs. Unfortunately, Pokluda’s passion too frequently shades into hyperbole and fearmongering (“When you are scrolling through social media comparing your life to others, is involved. When you want to buy something you hope will make you happy, he is involved.... You are at war”). To make matters worse, the book’s explanation for why God created Satan in the first place—namely, that his temptation gives believers an opportunity to cement their trust in God—feels insufficient. This fails to convince.
