Finding Washington - Richard Raines pt 2

Finding Washington

Richard Raines pt 1

For those that know me, and now for those that don’t know me as well, I’m a history buff. I have been since middle school. I just love history. Especially WWII history. But second to that is the founding fathers and the Revolutionary War.

One of my favorite of all founding fathers, is George Washington.

In fact, if you compare the integrity, virtues and leadership ability of almost any President since Washington, you would find most of the lacking in some sense. Especially in this day and time – don’t get me started. Amen!

Why am I talking about history and George Washington today? I’m so glad you asked!

Our guest today is Richard Raines, author of an absolutely great book titled, “Finding Washington: Why America Needs to Rediscover the Virtues of Her Most Essential Founding Father.”  Let’s just say this book should be a must read for every presidential candidate considering running for office. Amen!

Richard is not only an author, but a Professor of Christian History and Christian Theology, a former CEO and a former elected official (but we won’t hold that against him)…

Why did you write this book?  (Richard is referencing our closing question from part one about the “Battle of Monongahela”).

I believe another of my favorite frontiersmen was involved in this battle as well, Daniel Boone! What role did he play in this battle?

Because of his actions during this battle, the American Indians had a prophecy about his future, right?

A lot of people today claim that the Founding Fathers were not really Christian, but rather were “deists” who don’t really believe in a personal God. What are your thoughts on the subject from the research you’ve conducted?

A lot of the “cancel culture” today are claiming anyone that owned slaves could not be virtuous, no matter their contribution to society. What are your thoughts on this and how can we, as a society, understand the dilemma the Founding Fathers faced in trying to form a new nation that held opposing views to slavery?

Richard, this has been so interesting. As I said, I’m a history “nut” and have really, truly enjoyed our conversation.

How can someone obtain a copy of your book, “Finding Washington: Why America Needs to Rediscover the Virtues of Her Most Essential Founding Father?”  Is it available on Amazon?

If someone wanted to get in touch with you, to ask a question or to maybe do an interview like this, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you?

I’ll put links to all of this down in the show notes.

Folks, George Washington was – and still is – an American treasure. Without him, this nation probably would not exist. He did so much in the formation of this great country. From leading a ragtag bunch of individualists and using them to defeat the largest military in the world (at that time); to motivating the squabbling delegates from the states to finally group together and take a stand for Liberty; to helping to form the office of the Presidency as we know it today and take on the title of king… We owe him an eternal debt of gratitude.

Despite the arguments to the contrary; despite the naysayers, George Washington should serve as role model for our culture today – instead of whatever the cancel culture has to say.

I urge you, if you enjoy reading about history; if you have children or grandchildren that you want to leave a positive legacy for – order Richard Raines book, “Finding Washington: Why America Needs to Rediscover the Virtues of Her Most Essential Founding Father.”

Just drop down into the show notes below and click the links right there. Get in touch with Richard as well. Amen!  But be sure to order his book, “Finding Washington: Why America Needs to Rediscover the Virtues of Her Most Essential Founding Father.”
