The George Washington Coaching Program is

100% Guaranteed
to transform YOU into
  •  an extraordinary American
  •  an extraordinary Christian
  •  an extraordinary Human Being

How can we make such an extraordinary claim?

When America followed George Washington's advice,
       America was the most prosperous and admired nation in human history.
When America turned her back on Washington's advice,
       the United States became bankrupt and despised even by our former admirers.

When Did This Happen?

Piece by piece, the Federal Government prohibited public schools from following the educational advice of George Washington.

The average colonial American 17-year old in 1776 knew more about what it takes to make America a prosperous and virtuous nation than the average American adult in 2014. The average colonial American teenager would be horrified at the things American adults tolerate in 2014: Tyranny, public immorality, idiocy. Unbelievable.

Thanks to the Internet, the colonial public school curriculum that made America the most prosperous and admired nation in history can transform YOU into
These were the three goals of Samuel Adams in his first letter to Americans through the “Committees of Correspondence.” Details

Frequently Asked Questions


Short Biography of George Washington

Fifty years ago, America's students were "Number One" in academic achievement.
Today, the students of more than 20 nations out-perform American students, who can't identify "the Father of his Country."


“Gentlemen, this is a football

The iconic coach Vince Lombardi began each season standing before a room full of professional NFL football veterans holding up a football and saying, "Gentlemen, this is a football."

As if they didn't know.

Lombardi's point: championship teams are made not by concocting unprecedented "Hail Mary" plays, but by going back to the basics, building a rock-solid foundation, and consistently executing disciplined progress toward the goal.

Once you lay a solid foundation and master the basics,
your personal coach can help you
overcome big problems
or achieve extraordinary goals
in all the most important areas of your life:

Faith Family Finances Fitness

• Big questions
• Purpose in life
• Pleasing God

• Who to marry
• Successful marriage
• Parenting

• Career change
• Getting out of debt
• Starting your own business

• Health
• Energy
• Longevity

... and many other goals to achieve and problems to solve


Houston, we have a problem

If George Washington could travel two centuries through time, and see what has happened to the United States of America, he would be horrified. He would be outraged.
He would see we have a big problem.
The first problem is that most people don't see we have a problem.
Even America's most intelligent, most patriotic citizens -- like you -- would be taken back if George Washington looked you right in the eye and said, 
“YOU have a problem
It's not just that George Washington fought a government which was like a cockroach in a child's sandbox that needed to be removed. Our government is like a huge Godzilla, towering like a skyscraper, crushing whole schoolyards full of children with one foot.
Washington would say to you,
“You ARE the problem
We want to think we are the solution, and everyone else is the problem.
But the solutions to America's problems do not begin with others, they begin with you.
The Solution begins with recognizing this embarrassing problem:

You are a Victim of Educational Malpractice

There were three things taught in every public school classroom in America when George Washington went to school. All three have been banned by the federal government from today's schools, and from the schools you went to.

You probably spent 17 years of your life in government-approved classrooms, and they were sanitized from the three most important things that would have made you
    •  an extraordinary American
    •  an extraordinary Christian
    •  an extraordinary Human Being
Amazingly, in just one year, our online home study program can duplicate a colonial American public school education in the essential points you were deprived of. (We don't teach "the three R's.")

"Under My Own Vine and Fig Tree, 1798" by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris, Lora Robins Collection of Virginia Art, Virginia Historical Society
Under My Own Vine and Fig Tree, 1798
Jean Leon Gerome Ferris

“Gentlemen, this is a Fig Tree ”

If George Washington could travel through time and coach America, where would he begin in pre-season training? The vast majority of Americans have never heard the phrase “Vine and Fig Tree,” don't understand the culture it symbolizes, and don't know where the phrase comes from.

“Gentlemen, this is the Bible”

This is where George Washington would start. This is where America's “Vine and Fig Tree” Dream began.

What about the Constitution, which Washington helped create in the Constitutional Convention? The Constitution is dead meatWashington wrote:

The blessed Religion revealed in the word of God will remain an eternal and awful monument to prove that the best Institutions may be abused by human depravity; and that they may even, in some instances be made subservient to the vilest of purposes.


The GeorgeWashingtonCoaching Program is sponsored by Vine & Fig Tree, a 501(c)(3) non-profit tax-exempt educational organization dedicated to promoting the original American Dream. According to the Library of Congress Website, George Washington was motivated by the Vine & Fig Tree vision revealed in the Bible:
No theme appears more frequently in the writings of Washington than his love for his land. The diaries are a monument to that concern. In his letters he referred often, as an expression of this devotion and its resulting contentment, to an Old Testament passage. After the Revolution, when he had returned to Mount Vernon, he wrote the Marquis de Lafayette on Feb. 1, 1784:

"At length my Dear Marquis I am become a private citizen on the banks of the Potomac, & under the shadow of my own Vine & my own Fig-tree."

This phrase occurs at least 11 times in Washington's letters.

"And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree" (2 Kings 18:31).

Peter Lillback, author of a 1,000-page study of Washington's life and thought, has found more than 40 references to the  “Vine and Fig Tree” vision in Washington's Papers.

Many other American Founders
wrote of this ideal. "Vine & Fig Tree" is the original "American Dream."

The phrase occurs a number of times in Scripture. These references are visual reminders of the Hebrew word for salvation, which means
• peace,
• wholeness,
• health,
• welfare, and
• private property free from pirates and princes.
When today's Americans hear the  word "salvation," they usually think about going to heaven when they die. When the writers of the Bible used the word "salvation," they wanted you to be thinking about dwelling safely under your own Vine & Fig Tree during this life -- much more often than they wanted you to be thinking about what you'll be doing in the afterlife.

The best place to see the Vine & Fig Tree ideal is in the book of Micah. We'll look at that passage below.

How can you expect to achieve "the American Dream"
if you don't even know what it is?

You've been misled.
You've been lied to.

You are a Victim of Educational Malpractice.
And it's costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

What is "Vine & Fig Tree"

Do you know why
— for the first time in American history —
the next generation cannot expect to enjoy 
as high a standard of living as the previous generation?

If you are not a part of the solution,
you are part of the problem.

Imagine it:

If George Washington, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Patrick Henry, or any other "Founding Father" of America could travel through time and spend a few weeks in your home watching TV, visiting your local public school, and learning about the federal government in 2014, what would he think? I believe he would be horrified at what America has become. He would be shocked that you are not shocked.

America's Founders risked their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to resist a government that they called a "tyranny," but the "despotic" reign of King George III was a kindergarten class compared to the vile, murderous, atheistic, imperialist, planet-suffocating tentacles of the regime we call "Washington D.C."

You watch late-night comedians joke about taxes, but you really do nothing, even though taxes are 20 times greater than in 1776, and we undoubtedly have less representation.

Samuel Adams would tell you, in words he learned from your TV, Facebook, or public school:


You SUCK at Being an AMERICAN


What if George Washington -- "the Father of his Country" -- or Samuel Adams -- the architect of the "Boston Tea Party" and "The Father of the American Revolution" -- could be your personal coach?

“No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the Invisible Hand which conducts the affairs of men more than those of the United States.
[W]e ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained . . . .”

George Washington, Inaugural Address (1789)

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom —go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”
Samuel Adams,
speaking at the State House in Philadelphia, “to a very numerous audience” on August 1, 1776
Very "politically incorrect." But people like George Washington and Sam Adams deserve some credit for creating the most prosperous and admired nation in history. They believed in the "Vine & Fig Tree" vision. They said
every American,
every Christian,
every human being,
should "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." But the generation of "the sexual revolution" has ensured that their posterity (if any) will enjoy a lower standard of living than the previous generation -- for the first time in American history.

Happily, there's GREAT NEWS on this website. You can be transformed into

  • An Extraordinary American,
 
• An Extraordinary Christian,
  • An Extraordinary Human Being.

These were the three goals of Samuel Adams, Ring-leader of the "Boston Tea Party" (1773), and  Signer of the Declaration of Independence (1776), who laid out a program of personal and national transformation in his first letter to America's Town Halls through a network of communication called "The Committees of Correspondence." His letters ignited the American Revolution, and they can ignite a revolution in your life. As a result of this timeless program, Samuel Adams became known as "The Father of the American Revolution." We call him "America's Coach."

Tragically, you probably cannot understand what Adams is saying in that letter. Most Americans can't. And you won't be motivated to take the medicine unless you're convinced you're sick. So continue to exercise your imagination by imagining what Sam Adams or George Washington would think if they could travel through time to your day.

America's Founders would be horrified, then outraged, at what has happened to the government they created. They would ask why YOU are not carrying out the duty you have (according to the Declaration of Independence) to abolish any government as tyrannical as ours.

After seeing what is taught -- and what is not taught -- in government-approved schools, Samuel Adams would say,

You are a victim of educational malpractice.

He would prescribe a curriculum of five of the most important works in the history of Western Civilization, to be read over the next 365 days, while asking three life-changing questions.

Following this program will make you as well-educated as the average American 17 year-old in 1776, and you will be far more qualified to help "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity."

Personal Coaching 
will produce the most profound, beneficial, 
massive, and lasting personal transformation of your entire life,
or we will DOUBLE your money back.

 
Yes, you'll be required to complete all your assignments, but if you choose not to complete your coaching program, you can still get 100% of your enrollment fee refunded. 
 

If you feel like America is crumbling before your eyes . . .
if you feel like America is headed off the cliff
and you are powerless to stop it . . .

This program is for you!

 
To get started on the path to massive personal transformation and the "Vine & Fig Tree" worldview, you must accept the following painful reality:

I am a Victim of Educational Malpractice

We both are. You and I. This is easily proven, but not easily accepted. Your mis-education has affected not only the quantity of facts in your brain, but also the character of your heart, and the health of your soul.
Your morality, sense of justice and courage.
Your compassion, piety and virtue.

Every American born after 1957 is a Victim of Educational Malpractice.

Everything America's Founding Fathers believed was vital to a Christian, American, and humane civilized education was banned from your education. We will prove this, while making sure you don't drown under the tidal wave of evidence.

Can we blame America's Founding Fathers for our current malaise? Yes, to in important degree. As much as we admire them, their violent revolution ended up giving us a government which was more of a tyranny than the one they abolished.

We'll see what we can learn from Samuel Adams, George Washington, and other heroes about Personal Life Coaching.

Thing #3:     
 Three Huge Mistakes America's Founders Made

-- and why you must avoid them

details
    Day 36: We don't worship the Founding Fathers. details
Huge Mistake Number One: "Rights"
    Day 37: The Myth of "Human Rights." Humanistic attack on moral duty. details
    Day 38: "Entitlements" are destroying this nation details
Huge Mistake Number Two: Revolution
They took up arms to abolish the government
by force and violence, murdering Christians from Britain
    Day 39: Just plain wrong. Romans 13 -- Sermon on the Mount details
    Day 40:  U.S. Overthrowing Governments Today.
              Global Revolution: War, Imperialism, CIA Overthrow,
              "National Defense," Foreign Policy,  Blowback.
              Trillions of dollars diverted, millions of lives lost
details
Huge Mistake Number Three: Restoration of Representative Regulation
    Day 41: Who has the right to steal, coerce, torture, or delegate these sins to someone else? details
    Day 42: Bonus Non-Mistake: no “Rapture.” Novus Ordo Seclorum. details
 
Each and every day, as you read the Bible and the other important texts in the Samuel Adams Coaching Program,, you should reflect on these three huge mistakes and ask three questions:
1. Rights:
  • Am I here to get or to give?
  • Am I here to demand my rights or to obey my duties?
  • Am I entitled or am I obligated?
  • Am I owed or do I owe?

When you speak about God's Commandments rather than "the rights of man," are you prepared to be called a "theocrat?"

2. Revolution:
  • Is "Rebellion Against Tyrants Obedience to God?" Really?
  • Should we preach to tyrants until they are converted, or should we assassinate them?
  • What is the Christ-like way to move sheeple and their wolf-tyrants to "Liberty Under God" and the Vine & Fig Tree society?
  • "Tyranny" and "liberty" are abstractions. The Bible says "Honor the king." You honor the king by not treating him as an abstraction or a conspiracy theory, and treating him as a human being created in the Image of God. Do you know a tyrant? Witness to him. Do you know someone who profits from tyranny? Witness to her. Are you prepared with an anti-tyranny apologetic?

When you speak about being "subject" to tyrants rather than asserting your "Second Amendment Rights," or assassinating tyrants, are you prepared to be called a "pacifist?"

3. "Representation":
  • Is it legitimate for me to grab my entitlements by "voting" for a "representative" to get them for me?
  • Is it legitimate for me to overthrow a foreign government so I can increase my corporate profits or lower my gas prices by "voting" for a "representative" to send the CIA or the Marines?
  • Is it legitimate for me to take money from my neighbor by "voting" for a "representative" to "tax" him?
  • Would the world be worse off or better off without any "archists" (people who believe they have the right to impose their will on others by force) at all?
  • Would the world be better off or worse off if all archists resigned and got jobs in the private sector?

When you speak about the superiority of Free Enterprise over socialism, and when you dream about markets freed from archists, are you prepared to be called an "anarchist?"

 Thing #4:     
 The Three Most Hated Words in Politics Today
-- and why you must embrace them
These three words
all stem from the Three Huge Mistakes  
that America's Founders made.
These three hated concepts are the only way to reverse those three huge mistakes.

details
Most Hated Word #1 - THEOCRACY!
    Day 43: God Rules - Isaiah 33:22 | 
               Not "Government by Ayatollahs" - Priestly Police State
details
Most Hated Word #2 - PACIFISM
    Day 44:  The opposite of violent revolution against tyrannical invaders: 
                no "national defense."
details
Most Hated Word #3 - ANARCHISM
    Day 45:  Jesus prohibits His followers from being "archists." Case closed. details
    Day 46: Bonus Word: Preterism - optimilllennialism, not pessimillennialism details

You're a victim of educational malpractice, and you live under tyranny. This is the land of slaves and the home of cowards. Let's start with some contrasts:

America Past . . .

. . . and America Present
The "Boston Tea Party" (1773) involved a tax on tea of 3 pence per pound. (Americans drank about ten pounds per year, according to Benjamin Franklin.) Today we pay ten times more in taxes on every gallon of gas.
     Even though an overwhelming majority of Americans opposed the Wall St. Bailout of 2008, Congress bailed them out anyway. With your money.
     Thus, we have massive taxation without representation. But "We the People" do nothing.
The Declaration of Independence says we have a duty (not just a "right") to abolish any government that becomes a "tyranny." "Tyranny" would have to be defined as a government more intrusive and confiscatory than the government over the colonies in 1776. The Signers of the Declaration would say The United States Federal Government in 2014 is a mega-tyranny.

The Federal Government prohibits local public school teachers from teaching students that the Declaration of Independence is really, objectively true. That's true. Students can only be taught that the Signers believed it to be true. Or that they didn't really believe it to be true, but it was all just a ruse to protect their slaves and businesses. But students cannot be taught that any proposition in the Declaration of Independence really is true -- objectively true -- regardless of whether anyone believes it to be true.

There were three things that America's Founders believed constituted the essential core of a decent, civilized education. All three have been removed from government-approved schools. This is why we are all victims of educational malpractice.
America's Founders believed these three things were the foundation of liberty, property, social order, and prosperity. In America today, the government searches millions of people every day without a warrant, confiscates private property at will, turns a blind eye to violent crime, and leads us into massive bankruptcy. The Constitution and Bill of Rights are dead meat.
When confronted with less than one-tenth of the soul-corrupting tyranny that we have today, America's Founders risked their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to restore "Liberty under God." What are you risking? Americans today are risk-averse, preferring cradle-to-grave "security" rather than LIBERTY and personal responsibility.

 

Vine & Fig Tree

Vine & Fig Tree is a non-profit, tax-exempt educational organization dedicated to transforming you and your world, accelerating the fulfillment of the Bible's "Vine & Fig Tree" prophecies.

The Vine & Fig Tree prophecies and our vision are described on the Vine & Fig Tree Home Page. Some of this information is found below. In a nutshell, the Prophets held out a vision of a world where we beat our "swords into plowshares" and everyone dwells securely under his own "Vine & Fig Tree." It's a vision of world Peace, secure Property, and holistic Prosperity.

What can Vine & Fig Tree Coaching do for you?
The same thing it did for America.

America Past . . .

. . . and America Present

The Vine & Fig Tree vision made America the most prosperous and admired nation in human history...



... government suppression of the Vine & Fig Tree vision has made America bankrupt and despised, even by those who formerly admired us.

The idea of everyone dwelling securely under his own "Vine & Fig Tree" is the original "American Dream." America's Founders often quoted "Vine & Fig Tree" language in their letters and speeches. Americans were familiar with the Bible in general and this vision in particular. Today . . .

 

 

 

. . . Americans are ignorant of the Bible; the "American Dream" is now described as "owning your own home," which means "qualifying" for a low-interest, fixed-rate mortgage. This means paying a quarter of a million dollars in interest over the life of a 30-year mortgage on a home owned by the bank, which can be taken at any time by the government under "eminent domain" whenever the government wants to give your home to some "special interest."

Two centuries ago, the only people who had a mortgaged home were those who had experienced some devastating personal tragedy. Americans who lived two hundred years ago would say that Americans living today are experiencing a devastating national tragedy, despite our iPhones and big-screen TV's.
When America was directed by the  "Vine & Fig Tree" worldview, America experienced economic growth. America is at a crossroads today. This is the first time that the next generation can expect to experience a lower standard of living than the previous generation.
America's Founders intended to "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." Since 1973, American mothers have killed over 50 million of "our posterity," and the blessings of liberty are less secure than at any time in our nation's history.
We "text" each other on our "Smart Phones" . . . . . . because we lack the maturity of soul to form close, personal, meaningful, and lasting relationships with other people.
We bomb whole populations "back to the stone age" . . . . . . because we want low gas prices for our "adult toys."
America no longer exports missionaries who preach the gospel, dig wells, help farmers, build churches, establish schools, maintain hospitals, fund libraries, and create prosperous and harmonious civilizations out of poverty, superstition, and barbarism. Missionaries who speak of "false religions" and criticize superstition and barbarism are called "intolerant" and "hateful."  Today the U.S. exports more pornography and weapons of mass destruction than Bibles.
Our toes are hanging over the fiscal cliff, and the ground beneath our feet is crumbling.
To feel better about this, we go shopping or watch "infotainment."
We have paid for our bombs and our narcotic high-tech gadgets with money we haven't earned.
The Bible says, "The borrower is the slave of the lender."
Do you know who your lenders are?
Do you know how they will treat their slaves when their economic system collapses?
We vote for politicians who will make us feel better by promising us lots of stuff we can't afford. Politicians have promised us benefits totaling $222 TRILLION more than can ever be paid for.
We don't realize it, with our "Smart Phones" and our "Smart Bombs," but we live our lives in a state of profound economic and personal trauma.

What Can Be Done?

The Bible says life is like a race.
America was off to a good start, but it's a question whether we're going to finish the race.
It's a relay race.
Someone on our Team has dropped the baton.
We need to go back, pick up the baton, and run twice as hard to make up for lost time.
 
You need a personal coach.
If you want to win the gold medal in a grueling athletic competition, the first thing you should do is hire a coach.
Then, You need to become a personal coach.
For your family, maybe a neighbor, perhaps someone at work or at church. It's a team sport.
Encourage them to coach others. We need as many coaches as possible.
And let's work and pray that this becomes a "mass movement."

What is "Personal Coaching?"

There are lots of definitions of "personal coaching." Vine & Fig Tree Personal Coaching is not like any other coaching program.

Our goal is to help you win the gold medal in your particular event. At this stage, it doesn't matter what your particular event is.

You're out of shape. We've got "spring training" ahead of us. Then summer training. Then Fall.

  • If you're overweight, you'll need to lose some.

  • If you're sickly, emaciated and suffering from malnutrition, you'll need to improve your health and diet and build intellectual and spiritual muscle.

You don't know the rules of the game. Everything you learned on the playground is wrong.

  • If you don't even know the rules of the game, you'll have to study the playbook. Be prepared for your coach to drill you on the plays, strategies, and rules of the game.

The average American today does not know the rules of the game of life, and is in frighteningly bad physical shape.

[W]e ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained . . . .
George Washington, Inaugural Address (1789)


Vine & Fig Tree


  • Supporting: love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, sobriety
  • Opposing: Secularism, Humanism, Anti-Family Sex, Hedonism, Autonomy, Totalitarianism, and Mass Death

The name "Vine & Fig Tree" comes from the fourth chapter of the prophet Micah, and is set forth here. You've probably heard Micah's words before -- we beat our "swords into plowshares" and everyone dwells safely under their own "Vine & Fig Tree.

America's Founding Fathers were familiar with this vision: "Vine & Fig Tree" is the worldview that made America "the greatest nation on God's green earth."

George Washington's Diaries are available online at the Library of Congress. That website introduces those writings with these words:
No theme appears more frequently in the writings of Washington than his love for his land. The diaries are a monument to that concern. In his letters he referred often, as an expression of this devotion and its resulting contentment, to an Old Testament passage. After the Revolution, when he had returned to Mount Vernon, he wrote the Marquis de Lafayette on Feb. 1, 1784: "At length my Dear Marquis I am become a private citizen on the banks of the Potomac, & under the shadow of my own Vine & my own Fig-tree." This phrase occurs at least 11 times in Washington's letters. "And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree" (2 Kings 18:31).

"Under My Own Vine and Fig Tree, 1798" by Jean Leon Gerome Ferris, Lora Robins Collection of Virginia Art, Virginia Historical Society

Many other American Founders wrote of this ideal. "Vine & Fig Tree" is the original "American Dream."

The phrase occurs a number of times in Scripture. These references are visual reminders of the Hebrew word for salvation, which means
• peace,
• wholeness,
• health,
• welfare, and
• private property free from pirates and princes.
When today's Americans hear the word "salvation," they usually think about going to heaven when they die. When the writers of the Bible used the word "salvation," they wanted you to be thinking about dwelling safely under your own Vine & Fig Tree during this life -- much more often than they wanted you to be thinking about what you'll be doing in the afterlife.

The best place to see the Vine & Fig Tree ideal is in the book of Micah.

 Let's look at Micah's prophecy (on the left) and ask a few questions (on the right):
And it will come about in the last days
That the mountain of the House of the LORD
Will be established as the chief of the mountains
And it will be raised above the hills
  Are we in the "last days?"

When did this establishment take place?

And the peoples will stream to it.
And many nations will come and say,
"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD
And to the House of the God of Jacob,
Is Christianity doomed to minority status throughout history? Hasn't Christianity been growing since the first century?
That He may teach us about His ways
And that we may walk in His paths."
For from Zion will go forth the Law
Even the Word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
  What should be the Christian's attitude toward the Law? Isn't every Word of a "Lord" "Law?"
And He will judge between many peoples
And render decisions for mighty, distant nations.
Then they will hammer their
swords into plowshares
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation will not lift up sword against nation
And never again will they train for war.
Are we commanded to beat our swords into plowshares today? Or do we wait for the Second Coming?
And each of them will sit under his   What about private property?
Vine and under his  fig tree,
With no one to make them afraid.
For the LORD of hosts has spoken.
What about technology? What about the military? What is it that really brings "security?"
Though all the peoples walk
Each in the name of his god,
As for us, we will walk
In the Name of the LORD our God
forever and ever.
  What if all the politicians, university professors, TV commentators, newspaper editors, rock stars, CEO's, athletes, authors, and think-tanks repudiate the Vine & Fig Tree vision and tell you not to believe it?
In that day, saith the LORD,
will I assemble her that halteth,
and I will gather her that is driven out,
and her that I have afflicted;
And I will make her that halted a remnant,
and her that was cast far off a strong nation:
and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion
from henceforth, even for ever.
Should we strive to be on top, or to help those on the bottom? Is God on the side of those who have accomplished much by their own power and initiative, or is He on the side of those who are willing to be used by God to accomplish much to His Glory?

George Washington's Educational Advice

The Delaware Indians grew tired of living in poverty and superstition. They wanted what Americans had. On May 12, 1779, in a speech to the Delaware Indian Chiefs, Washington coached them:

You do well to wish to learn our arts and ways of life, and above all, the religion of Jesus Christ. These will make you a greater and happier people than you are. Congress will do every thing they can to assist you in this wise intention.
The Writings of George Washington, JC Fitzpatrick, ed., Wash. DC: US Gov't Printing Office, 1932, Vol 15, p.55.

After asking you a few questions, would George Washington conclude that you, or the Delaware Indians, knew more about "The religion of Jesus Christ?"

On May 2, 1778, when the Continental Army had emerged from its infamous winter at Valley Forge, Commander-in-Chief George Washington issued the following:

The commander-in-chief directs that divine service be performed every Sunday at eleven o'clock in those brigades [in] which there are chaplains; those which have none [are] to attend the places of worship nearest to them. It is expected that officers of all ranks will by their attendance set an example to their men. While we are zealously performing the duties of good citizens and soldiers, we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of religion. To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian. The signal instances of providential goodness which we have experienced, and which have now almost crowned our labors with complete success, demand from us in a peculiar manner the warmest returns of gratitude and piety to the Supreme Author of all good.—
The Writings of George Washington, JC Fitzpatrick, ed., Wash. DC: US Gov't Printing Office, 1932, Vol. XI:342-343, General Orders of 5/2/1778

What is "the character of Christian?" Why did Washington believe that being like Christ was more important than being a "patriot?"


FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Who is George Washington?

  1. He was an extraordinary human being (b.1732-d.1799). He was a great general who led America's troops in a War for Independence against the most powerful empire on earth. He was a statesman who united political factions to agree on a new constitution. He was the only President elected unanimously. He was known as "the Father of his Country." Every post office, every school classroom, every boy's room used to have a portrait of Washington hanging on the wall. He was the best ballroom dancer in Virginia.  Read more.  If you don't know why George Washington is someone you should emulate, you are a victim of educational malpractice.
    But Washington was not perfect. He made mistakes. The United States is now following his mistakes and ignoring his wisest advice.

Q. What is "Life Coaching?"

  1. If you wanted to win a gold medal at the Olympics, the first thing you should do is hire a coach. The Bible says life is like an athletic competition. A life coach whose coaching model is George Washington can help you overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles and achieve extraordinary results.

Q. Is this program right for me?

  1. If you were invited here, this program is perfect for you.
    If you found your way here by following links ("surfing"), this program is exactly what you've been looking for, even if you never knew exactly what you were looking for.

Q. What if I'm not an American?

  1. Although the principles in this program made America a shining City on a Hill, and the most prosperous and admired nation in history, the principles will work for anybody of any race or nationality. In fact, our "hidden agenda" is to spread these principles to every nation under heaven. We may even have to leave the U.S.A. in the dust!

Q. What's this program like? Will I be subjecting myself to a Drill Sergeant?

  1. No. We won't yell at you, insult you, or belittle you. You know you need accountability -- we both know -- but our top priority is to inspire you, not compel you. It takes discipline to build good habits, but we are committed to being patient and encouraging. We want you to work hard, but we also want you to smile.
    Our Founder, Kevin Craig, was elected "Class Clown" in high school and his picture is in front of the yearbook, hanging from a tree like a monkey.  You can expect some madcap silliness here and there. It's all part of our recipe for extraordinary success!

Q.  What specific individual problems can be solved through coaching?

  1. Answer. But first we must lay a solid foundation upon which to build solutions.
