Miracle Workers(2019)
This series is suggested for ages all ages and may contain mild thematic content. Biblical themes explored include {"reference":"Psalm 65:2","theme":"The one who hears prayer","description":"The show's premise — a bureaucracy for processing prayers — comically literalizes the theological question of how the God who hears all prayer actually processes the volume of human supplication. The comedy reveals the genuine theological anxiety about whether specific prayers are heard."}, {"reference":"Exodus 32:14","theme":"God relenting","description":"The angels' successful intercession to prevent God from destroying Earth mirrors Moses's intercession after the golden calf — the human (or angelic) advocate changing the divine mind through persistent petition. The show presents divine relenting as genuinely possible."}, {"reference":"Luke 11:9-10","theme":"Ask and you shall receive","description":"The impossible prayer that drives the plot — answered against all probability by the angels' extraordinary effort — dramatizes Jesus's promise about persistent petition. The comedy is that it takes this much effort even in the bureaucracy."}, {"reference":"Hebrews 7:25","theme":"Intercession","description":"The angels' role — interceding on behalf of specific humans before a divine authority — parallels Christ's high priestly intercession: the one with access to the Father standing in the gap for those who cannot stand there themselves."}. We recommend parents review content before watching with younger children.
