Decay | When Every Institution Protects Kids Except You

Wednesday, April 29, 2026 • Today's Principle: Decay

The EU's case against Meta for failing to protect underage users isn't a tech regulation story — it's evidence of household decay. When fathers stop watching, institutions fill the vacuum. Today's episode applies the principle of Decay from Men of the Republic Chapter 10, grounding it in 1 Peter 5:8's command to be sober-minded and watchful. The charge is direct: audit your home's screen access tonight and make one governing decision before the week is out.

Scripture: 1 Peter 5:8

Today's Charge: Audit your household's screen access tonight and make one governing decision — a specific rule with a consequence — about what platforms your children can access and when.
