‘Show Me Your Glory’ Spotlights Modern-Day Miracles and Those Still Waiting for One
A new film in theaters this week explores the evidence for modern-day miracles while also confronting a question that's sometimes left unasked: What about those who aren't healed? Show Me Your Glory, in theaters May 13, 14, and 15, includes interviews not only with individuals who experienced real-life miracles but also with those who felt God's presence even when the miracle they hoped for never came. The movie has eight such stories, while a companion book of the same name includes 16.
The documentary also includes interviews with apologists and theologians Sean McDowell, Greg Koukl, and Craig Keener.
The film focuses on the intersection of "human suffering and the miraculous," said Eric Swithin, who co-directed and co-wrote the film along with his wife, Kameron Swithin.
"We both have personally experienced miracles, and we see miracles happening all around us, and so when we see those, we can immediately point to the fact that there is a God -- He does care, and He's still interacting with our world," Eric told Crosswalk Headlines.
"But it's impossible to talk about miracles and somehow leave out this idea that there are a lot of people who get the answer 'no' when they pray for a miracle in their darkest hour. They're crying out for God to do something to help them. Not always does God say, 'Yes, I'm going to do it.'"
The film highlights three types of miracles, Kameron said: 1) miraculous healings, 2) miraculous encounters, and 3) individuals who display a supernatural, miraculous response to deep suffering -- even when the miracle they prayed for never came.
"The one story that I think I've heard the most people say was their favorite was the Iranian Hezbollah terrorist who literally would kill people in the name of Allah," she told Crosswalk Headlines. "He has a divine encounter with Jesus Christ in a Malaysian jail cell. That was about 30 years ago -- and now he's still out preaching the gospel. The man was radically transformed by God."
The film was born out of the Swithins' own journey through both miracles and suffering, Eric said.
"I was in Iraq as a United States Marine -- saw things, did things no human should ever have to do. I've seen hurricanes. I've seen people die from cancer. Many people I've prayed for as a minister that did not get healed," he said.
But too often, he said, Christians grow tired of praying for miracles, believing it's futile.
"They miss out on the one time that they could have prayed, and it would have happened," he said. "We've personally witnessed miracles."
