The American Miracle is alive and well!
And IFA was there to witness it.
My husband, Rich Swingle (IFA contributing writer and prayer host), and I attended the red carpet premiere of The American Miracle: Our Nation Is No Accident, a film based on the first chapters of Michael Medved’s book of the same title.
Who is praying on the wall?
The American Miracle: Our Nation Is No Accident Premiere
The film from acclaimed filmmaker Timothy P. Mahoney (Patterns of Evidence, Thinking Man films, Heroic Pictures) premiered Wednesday, June 4, at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
The Terrace Theatre was packed with donors, cast members, and crew of the documentary-drama, which focused on the hand of God as He shaped the nation. Nichole C. Mullen opened the gala with a stunning patriotic and Christian medley.
The film depicts some — but not all — of the Providential interventions that enabled George Washington and his rag-tag American troops to defeat the world’s greatest military power.
Miracle after miracle transpired to enable the American victory, but the new-born country was imperiled by serious disagreements about governance that emerged during the Constitutional Congress of 1787. After an important address by Benjamin Franklin, portrayed by Barry Stevens, the delegates inked our Constitution.
Historians from Princeton, Yale, and other notable institutions corrected current misperceptions about American history. Chief among them: The Founders’ view of God and the Important role of Black people in the establishment of America.
Meet the Creators.
At the red carpet, IFA interviewed executive producers Ralf W. Augstroze, Douglas B. Maddox and his wife Anne, Jodie Thompson Jr. and his wife Suzi, Director Mahoney, and screenwriter John Grooters (Sabina, Tortured for Christ):
On Tuesday, we’ll share more red carpet interviews with Mr. Medved, key cast members — including Pat Boone, Nicole C. Mullen, and Kevin Sorbo — and other key contributors, plus Ben Carson, who was in attendance.
Following the film, which earned a standing ovation, Mr. Mahoney and Mr. Medved addressed the audience. Mr. Medved marveled at the miracles that comprise America’s history. He noted how almost every American has a miracle story to tell, while sharing his own.
After ten years of separation, his grandmother was finally able to join her husband in America. After being here for some time, she was feeling so poorly that she thought she had a tumor.
The doctor disagreed, telling her she was pregnant. At age 50, she was dubious, but the child turned out to be Mr. Medved’s father!
Fill the Theatres!
For more information, see IFA Chief Program Officer Kris Kubal’s interview with Executive Producer Augstroze on Pray with America’s Leaders on May 15. See also Rich’s IFA article on the film here.
During the May 15 webcast, Mr. Augstroze stressed the importance of full theatres for the film’s three-day limited release. When theatres are packed, cinema executives will rebook the film for longer runs.
The American Miracle is an important answer to our prayers for the nation. It will be in theatres as a Fathom Event starting Monday, June 9 and running through Wednesday, June 11.
Another answer to prayer: The Kennedy Center featured The American Miracle, but canceled a “Pride Month” event originally scheduled for that night.
We will be sharing more miracles and answers to IFA prayers on our prayer webcast this coming Tuesday, June 10.

LOED GOD
THANK YOUFOR THIS PRESENTATION THAT SHOWS YOUR HAND IN THE CREATION ON THIS COUNTRY. THANK YOU FOR FREEDOM AND EDUCATION AND YOUR PRESCENCE IN OUR LIVES.
AMEN
What a marvelous undertaking to produce a film, that honestly presents the spiritual heritage of our nation. My ancestors were French Protestant Huguenots that immigrated to the colonies to find religious freedom and a new beginning. As a result of the immigration of the Huguenots and other religious groups, God paved the way for the mid 18th century Great Awakening and later the American Revolution and the founding of our nation. Praise be to the God of heaven who helped us establish this country as one nation under God.
Bill,
We had a tour of Paris focused on the story of the Huguenots, and it was heartbreaking! I’m glad you’re an example of how the Lord brought good things out of evil choices!
Lord, bless this movie and help there be lots of people-a large turnout, and make it be shown in many theaters in the near future and that people know about it and come to see it in the weeks and even months ahead. Please bless all those in the making of this movie-writers, directors, and crew. Keep them and all of us safe.
Lord, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, the event was canceled at the Kennedy Center and this one was put in its place! I also thank you for not seeing as much as I have in the past the push for pride in the stores, and may it continue! And please remove the pride parades! Let this be a horrible thing of the past. Amen Lord, thank you.

Thank You, YHVH, for this film and for elevating it to a place of prominence in our nation. I would ask for even greater availability, because our local theatre is not carrying it. Please use it to clarify what is true and what is false regarding the historical narrative. You showed Yourself strong in the founding of our nation and its government. Please do so, again! Please bless it financially, so that its impact will increase and continue. Bless all involved in its production.
Mary Beth,
I’m sorry it’s not showing near you! It’s only in 800 theaters right now, but pray each of them is packed so they can have a larger release.
Father as we read this post we unite our prayers of blessings for this film . We stand shoulder to shoulder to reject the enemies attacks to subdue your word . We proclaim that this film will spread like wildfire across our country.. In our Savior Jesus name we pray and by His blood we rely Amen !!!
