Friday, May 15, 2026 • Today's Principle: Courage

With hundreds of coordinated anti-Israel protests planned across the United States this weekend, today's episode confronts the pattern of male silence that emerges whenever speaking costs something. Drawing on Proverbs 28:1 and Chapter 5 of Men of the Republic, Carlos defines the difference between courage and rage — and charges every man to identify the specific moment this weekend where he'll be tempted to go quiet, and to stand instead. The charge moves through self-governance, household leadership, the church, and the public square — because cowardice in one domain always trains the next generation what to expect from men.

Scripture: Proverbs 28:1

Today's Charge: Identify the specific moment this weekend where courage is required — a hard conversation with your son, a stand at your church, a presence in your public square — and refuse to wait until it's convenient or cost-free.
