Just in time for America's 250th anniversary celebrations, a star-studded faith-based film exploring the nation's remarkable origins is heading to television.

The American Miracle - Our Nation Is No Accident will make its nationwide television premiere on TBN on July 3, airing at 7:30 p.m. ET and 9:45 p.m. ET. The special broadcast invites viewers to revisit the Revolutionary era through the lens of faith, asking whether America's birth was shaped not merely by history-but by divine providence.

Inspired by the bestselling book by Michael Medved, the feature-length docudrama argues that many of the defining moments of the American Revolution were so extraordinary that they point to God's guiding hand. From George Washington's repeated survival against overwhelming odds to dramatic weather shifts that aided the Continental Army, the film presents these events as evidence of providential intervention in the founding of the United States.

Produced by Heroic Pictures, the film combines cinematic reenactments with commentary from respected historians, legal scholars, and public intellectuals. The project features appearances by entertainment and faith personalities including Pat Boone, Kevin Sorbo, Nicole C. Mullen, Cameron Arnett, and James Arnold Taylor, alongside scholars Joseph Ellis, Richard Dreyfuss, Robert P. George, Akhil Reed Amar, and Jana Novak.

Filmed across the United States and the United Kingdom, The American Miracle explores the remarkable series of events surrounding the nation's founding while highlighting George Washington's own reference to the "Invisible Hand" guiding the affairs of humanity.

As Independence Day approaches, the TBN premiere offers viewers a timely opportunity to revisit one of history's most consequential revolutions through a distinctly faith-centered perspective.
