Audiences are getting a first look today at "THE STORY BEHIND," a newly released featurette for the upcoming film I CAN ONLY IMAGINE 2, now debuting across social media platforms.
The featurette,offers a compelling glimpse into the true story that shaped the sequel, diving deeper into the personal journeys that followed MercyMe's unprecedented success with the original I Can Only Imagine. While the song and film brought global acclaim, the aftermath led to unexpected seasons of loss, grief, and spiritual wrestling.
"The Story Behind" explores how those darker valleys ultimately gave rise to renewed faith and gratitude, particularly through the intertwined stories of MercyMe frontman Bart Millard and songwriter Tim Timmons. Their shared experiences of suffering and trust in God inspired the GRAMMY®-nominated anthem "Even If," a song that has since resonated deeply with audiences around the world.
More than a behind-the-scenes look, the featurette highlights what makes I CAN ONLY IMAGINE 2 distinctly different from its predecessor. While the first film focused on forgiveness and redemption, the sequel leans into perseverance, faith under pressure, and hope in the midst of unanswered prayers.
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE 2 continues the story audiences embraced, while expanding its emotional and spiritual depth through a narrative shaped by real-life trials, enduring faith, and the power of worship born from pain.
Social media assets for "The Story Behind" are available now, with outlets encouraged to download and share content natively.
