Lee Strobel examines the supernatural in his new documentary, THE CASE FOR MIRACLES.
The documentary hit theaters Dec. 15-18.
“A lot of people who are spiritually curious become more curious around Christmas because all of this activity in the culture [is] focused on December the 25th,” “The Case for Christ” author told CBN. “And they begin to wonder, ‘What is this really all about? What does it really mean?’ And so forth.”
Strobel continued, “So I think that people are more spiritually open this time of year, and I think it’s a perfect time to do a film that looks at the credibility that God is still in the miracle business today.”
The author’s faith deepened after he investigated the supernatural.
“The fact He’s still doing miracles today in ways where we’ve got solid medical documentation, where we have multiple incredible eyewitnesses with no motive to deceive, where we have no natural explanation that makes any sense whatsoever,” he said. “And it takes place in the context of prayer, where we have those four conditions met.”
“I think it’s logical and rational to conclude that God has intervened supernaturally. And when that happens, you’re just in awe,” he said.

Strobel’s favorite case is that of a young woman who developed multiple sclerosis as a teen. She was blind, unable to walk, and dying. Then, someone suggested asking people to pray through the Christian radio station in Chicago.
Barbara received 450 letters of prayer from listeners.
“On Pentecost Sunday, there’s a couple of her friends who were in the room together with her reading her some of these letters from people praying for her,” Strobel said. “And, because she’s curled up like a pretzel in bed and she hears from the corner of the room, where nobody was, the voice of God saying, ‘My child; get up and walk.’”
The woman pulled out a tube from her throat and got out of bed.
“There was a church service,” Strobel said. “The pastor’s up front and he says, ‘Anybody got any announcements?’ and Barbara comes walking down the center aisle. Nobody’d seen Barbara walk for seven years. The whole place erupts with people singing ‘Amazing Grace. I once was blind and now I see.’”
One physician said when he saw her walk into his office, he thought she must have died and it was her ghost.
Strobel says skeptics rule out the miraculous “at the offset.” But in these “medically impossible” cases, it’s the only explanation.
Strobel also has a book called “The Case for Miracles,” published in 2018.
Part of the description reads, “Strobel delves into the most controversial question of all: what about miracles that don’t happen? If God can intervene in the world, why doesn’t he do it more often to relieve suffering?”
In a recent interview, Strobel answered whether God still does miracles like in the Bible today.
“Sure enough, there are many… and they’ll absolutely blow your mind,” he said.
It hasn’t yet announced where the doc will be available to stream, but home viewers likely won’t have to wait long.
