## Resource

Actor and singer John Michael Finley joins The Jan Price Show All About Movies to discuss I Can Only Imagine 2, the inspiring sequel to the hit faith-based film inspired by MercyMe's music. After the extraordinary success of the song "I Can Only Imagine," MercyMe frontman Bart Millard (John Michael Finley) appears to have achieved everything he ever dreamed of. But as fame and success begin to take their toll, Bart struggles to hold on to what matters most. When fellow musician Tim Timmons (Milo Ventimiglia) joins the band's biggest tour yet, an unexpected friendship helps Bart rediscover faith, gratitude, and purpose. Also starring Dennis Quaid and Sophie Skelton, I Can Only Imagine 2 is based on the true story behind MercyMe's powerful hit song "Even If." Filled with hope, perseverance, and redemption, the film explores the challenges of success, the strength of family, and finding God through life's trials. 🎥 Watch the trailer 🎬 Learn more 🎧 More episodes Hosted on Acast.
