1:09:17Now PlayingGeorge Washington is one of the most recognizable names in American history. But before the presidency, the monuments, and the dollar bill, he was a military leader carrying the weight of a revolution that could easily have failed.
This week, @ericmetaxas joins Frank to discuss his new book, 'Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World', and why understanding Washington means understanding far more than battlefield strategy. Their conversation traces the faith, character, political philosophy, and providential moments that helped shape the American Revolution and the nation that followed. Frank and Eric tackle questions like:
-- Why is George Washington so central to the story of the American Revolution?
-- Why is Eric's new book titled ‘Revolution’ and not ‘The American Revolution’?
-- Why does liberty need to be grounded in God and what Bible verse is on the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia?
-- What made Washington so deeply respected on and off the battlefield, and how did his character contribute to his success?
-- How did the concept of a covenant with God shape the early American colonies?
-- Why was Washington chosen over more experienced military figures like Horatio Gates and Charles Lee?
-- How did John Quincy Adams influence Abraham Lincoln?
-- How does the American Revolution compare to the French Revolution, and what warning does Speaker Mike Johnson have for America?
-- Why are some people trying to rewrite American history?
-- Why is it so hard to find Eric's book in some secular bookstores, even though it’s a bestseller?
On our 250th anniversary, it's time for America’s story to come to life for a new generation. Be sure to grab a copy of 'Revolution' to dig deeper into the faith, courage, and character behind George Washington and the rest of our Founding Fathers.
