“Moses said, ‘Please show me your glory.’ And he said, ‘I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.’ And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.’”
—Exodus 33:18
Don’t we all wish that God would show us His glory in the circumstances of our lives? Most especially in our most trying moments. We want to see His glory when we ask for healing—whether for ourselves or those we love. We find ourselves crying out for His grace and mercy, clinging to hope, and looking for evidence of His presence.
And sometimes, when the unexplainable happens and prayers are answered in ways we never expected, we recognize it immediately:
There is no other explanation but God.
A Personal Connection
As someone who has walked a long journey of both answered and unanswered prayers for my son—who suffered two strokes, one as a teenager and another in his twenties—I resonated deeply with this film.
I've walked a long and difficult road with my son. He’s a godly young man who has longed to be in full-time ministry, to be a husband, and to raise a family. These are good and beautiful desires. And yet, so much of his life has felt marked by waiting and wrestling.
As a mother, I have asked the Lord the same questions raised in this film.
"Why hasn’t healing come fully?"
"Why are his godly desires still unfulfilled?"
I’ve wept. I’ve prayed. I’ve waited for breakthrough. And though many prayers remain unanswered, we’ve seen glimmers of God’s glory—moments where His peace and presence are undeniable. Moments where we know He is near. Moments where we are reminded that our story is not over, and neither is His work.
That’s why Show Me Your Glory resonated with me so deeply. This new documentary steps right into the tension I—and so many others—live in every day: the ache of unanswered prayers, the longing for healing, and the quiet hope that God’s glory will shine through our suffering.

In the new documentary Show Me Your Glory, Eric and Kameron Swithin confront one of humanity’s oldest and most painful questions:
If God is good, why is there so much suffering in the world?
This powerful film weaves together eight true stories of people who experienced profound supernatural encounters in the midst of deep pain. Their stories aren’t easy—but they’re real. From trauma and illness to unimaginable loss, we witness the moment where heaven collides with earth… where the miraculous breaks into the mundane.
"When the supernatural crashes into suffering, God's glory is on display."
– Show Me Your Glory
Alongside these stories, we hear from respected voices in theology and apologetics—Sean McDowell, Greg Koukl, and Craig Keener—who provide thoughtful insight into the age-old tension between a good God and a broken world. Their contributions help ground the film, offering both philosophical clarity and spiritual encouragement.
This film is a bold reminder that the impossible is still possible—and that God's answers may arrive in ways we never imagined.
What Makes This Film Worth Watching
✅ Real Stories, Not Fluff
This isn’t a feel-good film that glosses over pain. It honors the questions and lets the tension breathe. The miraculous moments don’t erase the suffering—they reveal God’s nearness in it.
✅ Strong Theological Voices
The inclusion of theological experts gives this film depth. These aren’t just emotional stories; they’re anchored in biblical truth and apologetic wisdom.
✅ Encouragement for the Weary
Whether you’re in a hard season or walking with someone who is, this film offers the kind of hope that doesn’t depend on outcomes—it’s rooted in God's unchanging character.
A Personal Invitation
As someone who has cried out for healing—over and over again—I found myself both comforted and challenged by this film. It reminded me that God doesn’t always show us His glory the way we expect, but He always reveals His goodness to those who seek Him.
Sometimes the miracle is healing.
Sometimes the miracle is peace.
Sometimes the miracle is simply knowing He is with us.
Don’t Miss It!
If you or someone you love is wrestling with grief, illness, waiting, or faith-shaking questions—go see this film. Take a tissue, take a friend, and be ready to see God’s glory on display in ways that might just surprise you.
