Bart has shared that his son’s chronic illness inspired the song “Even If,” touching on the emotional journey of unanswered prayers. For anyone going through a similar struggle, this movie could provide the encouragement and hope you need.

A new addition to the cast, Milo Ventimiglia who may know from TV shows like Gilmore Girls and This Is Us, will play singer/songwriter Tim Timmons.

The success of I Can Only Imagine led to many other impactful faith-based films like Jesus Revolution, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, and Unsung Hero. We’re excited to see what comes next in the faith-based film world, where millions more can experience the hope of Jesus!
