Friday, May 8, 2026 • Today's Principle: Citizenship

Tennessee made national news as the first state to act on congressional redistricting following a Supreme Court ruling — and most men didn't notice or care. Today's episode uses that moment to press the principle of Citizenship: the public square doesn't stay empty when men disengage, it fills with whoever showed up. Drawing from Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2, Carlos calls men to treat civic engagement not as political preference but as theological duty — and charges every listener to name one specific civic responsibility and get it on the calendar today.

Scripture: Romans 13:1-7; 1 Peter 2:13-14

Today's Charge: Identify one specific civic responsibility you've been avoiding and put it on your calendar before the day ends.
