The National Prayer Breakfast is hosted by the US Congressional Groups each year in Washington D.C. This years keynote address was given by Arthur Brooks. He is Professor of the Practice of Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School and Arthur C. Patterson Faculty Fellow at the Harvard Business School and columnist for The Washington Post.

Here is the full speech given at the National Prayer Breakfast.
