03/28/2026 – “A Great Awakening” – Easter weekend opening at a theatre near you.
This christian film covers the friendship between George Whitfield and Benjamin Franklin , with a central focus on Spiritual Renewal and Revival. It is not about the messenger(s) once again, but I submit that George Whitfield belongs on every short list of prolific, Holy Spirit driven preachers in history.
Here are some biography links to George Whitfield:

Notice # 9. Sadly, Whitefield was complicit in defending and expanding slavery in the American colonies. Once again, the best of men are men at best.
