john hancock in my hand. >> that's remarkable. you speak showing our viewers images from your documentary. i'm assuming also there's a strong theological component to what you're presenting. >> well, i went on this mission to discover the secret recipe. i want to know the secret sauce. tell us what it is so we can move forward with it. what i discovered is the seeds that blossomed into this great nation really began with the faith of the pilgrims. these seeds were planted in their heart by their pastor john robinson. he, himself, was standing on the shoulders of great mean down through the ages that have passed it on. when you get to the end of this journey that i took in plymouth, massachusetts after visiting holland and washington, d.c., you arrive on to of a hill overlooking plymouth rock and the atlantic ocean, and you see a monument that is the largest granite statue in america, 180 tons of granite and her name is faith. she expresses herself by transforming people internally at the heart level producing morality and liberty

"so far from seeking disappointment, he assured her, i have used every power in to avoid it, not only from my unwillingness to part from you and family, but from the unconsciousness of its being a trust too great for my capacity and that i should enjoy more real happiness and felicity in one month with you at home than i have the most distant prospect of reaping abroad if my story was to be seven time seven years." justifying his actions to martha, washington claimed, "it was utterly out of my power to refuse this appointment without exposing my character to such censures as would have reflected dishonor upon myself and given pain to my friends." observers
