Quick Question: If GOD asks you to be his FB friend, would you…A) Confirm or B) Ignore His Friend Request
This September, a new and uplifting television series premieres on CBS. GOD FRIENDED ME is about an outspoken atheist whose life is turned upside down when he receives a friend request on social media from God, and unwittingly becomes an agent of change in the lives and destinies of others around him.
This is an inspirational show about hope, faith, and a question we’ve all asked ourselves – what’s my purpose in this world – how can I be of service to others and be an agent of good?
About: GOD FRIENDED ME is a humorous, uplifting drama about an outspoken
atheist whose life is turned upside down when he receives a friend request on social
media from God and unwittingly becomes an agent of change in the lives and destinies
of others around him. Miles Finer is intelligent, hopeful and optimistic, but he doesn’t
believe in God. This puts him at odds with his father, Reverend Arthur Finer, a beloved
preacher at Harlem’s Trinity Church for 25 years who is stung by his son’s strong
rejection of his faith. Miles feels he’s found his purpose in life hosting a podcast where
he’s free to speak his mind, but that changes when he receives the ultimate friend
request. After repeated pokes by God, Miles’ curiosity takes over, and he accepts the
request and follows the signs to Cara Bloom, an online journalist suffering from writer’s
block. Brought together by the “God Account,” the two find themselves investigating
God’s friend suggestions and inadvertently helping others in need. Joining them on their
journey are Miles’s supportive sister, Ali, a doctoral psych student by day and bartender
by night, and his best friend, Rakesh, a sometime hacker who helps Miles and Cara
research the enigmatic account. Miles is set on getting to the bottom of what he
believes is an elaborate hoax, but in the meantime he’ll play along and, in the process,
change his life forever.
