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?

These stirring words introduce The American Miracle, a new film from Timothy Mahoney inspired by the book of the same name by Michael Medved. Hitting theaters on June 9, 2025, the film will prepare viewers to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary with a deeper appreciation for our nation’s history and God’s goodness.

America’s Christian Credit Union celebrates this accomplishment of Timothy Mahoney and Thinking Man Films and is partnering to raise awareness of the oft-forgotten history of God’s grace toward America.

The film boasts a star-studded cast of actors and some of today’s top historians in a riveting documentary highlighting some of the most important—and unusual—events of the late 18th century. In a series of episodes too numerous to ignore, the fledgling nation enjoys inexplicable success in its fight for freedom.

At the Battle of Monongahela, for instance, George Washington proved so difficult to shoot that one Native American Chief declared him invincible and predicted he would one day lead an empire. During the Battle of Brooklyn, British troops were about to descend upon a beleaguered detachment of the Continental Army when a thick fog rolled in and allowed the Americans to escape to safety.

The meaning of these events was unambiguous to George Washington: “By the all-powerful dispensations of Providence, I have been protected beyond all human probability and expectation; for I had four bullets through my coat, and two horses shot under me, yet escaped unhurt” (George Washington, letter to John A. Washington, Jul. 18, 1755).

This country that was founded on reverence for God, protected by His merciful hand, and committed to protecting the religious freedom of its citizenry has shined a light of hope to the world for nearly 250 years. America’s Christian Credit Union is proud to serve ministries and families “from sea to shining sea” and prays that God will continue to shed his grace on our nation!
