    American Miracle Movie – Freedom for Slaves – Nicole Mullen

    Did you know one large state freed all slaves in 1781? Brought out for the 250th anniversary celebration of the Declaration of Independence, this excerpt of an interview with Nicole C. Mullen, 9-time Dove award winning singer-songwriter, tells of her role as Elizabeth Freeman, a slave set free, in The American Miracle movie – americanmiraclemovie.comRevealing the true story of God’s providential hand on America! ~Watch it today! americanmiraclemovie.comThe American Miracle Movie: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, and Jana Novak, among many others.For shows and more subscribe at parentcompass.tv/subscribe.Download the Parent Compass App.To have a conversation about Christ or to ask for prayer text or call 817-760-2643, or click the blue chat button in the right lower corner on parentcompass.tv.To be emailed information about Christ fill out the form at parentcompass.tv/know-christ.
