The movie "A Great Awakening"
Pastor Phil's Bible Podcast by Phil Corr
Episode notes
This movie portrays the unlikely friendship between Benjamin Franklin and the evangelist George Whitfield. While the movie takes some liberties, it portrays the childhood and growth of both men. The two men establish a business relationship that develops into a deep friendship. Whitfield urgently asks Franklin, "Who is your source?" and "Are you born again?" The movie concludes with Franklin reflecting on his friendship with Whitfield and then giving a speech to the constitutional convention that turns things around and within two weeks an agreement is reached on the constitution we still have as Americans. This answers the question of whether the sun above Washington's chair is rising or setting.
