Episode Details

Jane Hampton Cook thought George Washington was overrated…until she began researching his life and reading his writings. Jane, a former White House staffer, served during the administration of former President George W. Bush. In addition, she is an accomplished author, speaker, and historian. Jane highlights the incredible life of George Washington - his career, his leadership, and his faith in “Providence.” Jane says that Washington referred to the hand of Providence - or God’s hand in his life - 568 times in his writings alone. “For Washington, leadership wasn’t about glory; it was about justice,” declares Jane. She also recounts the spiritual history of young America and the important role gratitude plays in national greatness.
