The American Miracle at The Jackson Theatre
August 3, 2026 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Jackson Theatre, 121 W Main St, Jonesborough, TN 37659, USAAdmission is free - no ticket is required, and seating is first come, first served.
Sponsored by McLeod Organics.
What if the establishment of the United States of America, against all odds, was no accident? What if God’s Divine Hand guided the steps of the Founding Fathers, due to their faithfulness to Him and belief in His Providence? What if America is a miracle?
Inspired by New York Times bestselling author Michael Medved’s book of the same title, The American Miracle – Our Nation is No Accident, is an exciting, entertaining, and edifying motion picture experience created by Heroic Pictures in anticipation of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
The history of the American Experiment is a fabric woven of countless instances of improbable, unimaginable success. Whether it is the supernatural protection that surrounded George Washington – the Father of our Country throughout his life, the mysterious weather conditions that favored the movements of the Continental Army at critical battlefield junctures, or, the unique, longstanding success of a revolution unlike any other in recorded world history; it is difficult, nearly impossible to explain the outcome of any of these, and so many more events like them, without allowing for divine intervention. In his first inaugural speech President George Washington described it as, “the Invisible Hand which conducts the affairs of men.”
With a large cast, and filmed on location across the country and the United Kingdom, The American Miracle stars Pat Boone, Kevin Sorbo, Nicole C. Mullen, Cameron Arnett, and James Arnold Taylor, along with authors and scholars Joseph Ellis, Richard Dreyfuss, Robert P. George, Akhil Reed Amar, Jana Novak and Daniel H.T. Shippey
