George Washington

Scene of the Signing of the Constitution of the United States by Howard Chandler Christy

In this lecture on George Washington, Dr. Albert Mohler helps us understand the character and leadership of the first president of the United States and one of America’s most beloved founding fathers.  

You will walk away from this lecture with a deeper understanding of why George Washington was and is respected to this day. 

Also, Mohler underlines the importance of character and virtue and how these affect our leadership and influence. 

Dr. Albert Mohler is a world-renowned intellectual, speaker, and leader. He has read tens of thousands of books. He is the president of Boyce College and Southern Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.

Here are two items from George Washington that are worth a careful read. 

First, George Washington’s Rules of Civility. Manners are essential for cultivating friendships and for helping people. Spend five minutes reading ten or more of his rules. 

Are there any that you should put into practice? 

Second, George Washington’s Farewell Address, delivered in 1796. He was preparing to return to his home, Mount Vernon, after serving two terms as President of the United States. 

What did he say about religion? Did he think religion was needed to support liberty and prosperity?

I’ve always loved this picture. It symbolizes the importance of prayer. Prayer not only changes things, it reveals our dependence on God or lack thereof.
