Movie nights are back! Idaho Family Policy Center is excited to be hosting two exclusive screenings of the new faith-based movie – A Great Awakening – that’s soon to be released. Here’s the summary from the filmmakers:

With the colonies on the brink of collapse, the Reverend George Whitefield sparks the first Great Awakening, uniting an entire generation with his thundering proclamation of liberty in Christ. In a miraculous turn of events, one of Whitefield’s closest friends and greatest promoters becomes none other than Benjamin Franklin. With the nation’s freedom hanging in the balance, Franklin discovers true liberty cannot only be written into law—it must be awakened in the hearts of the people.

It’s easy to feel down when we survey the spiritual state of our nation today, but this movie will remind us that God awakened our nation before—and that He can do it again.
