Thursday, June 4, 2026 • Today's Principle: Courage

A new study confirms what Scripture has commanded for millennia: the father in the home is the decisive factor in whether children hold onto their faith into adulthood. Today's episode drives into the courage that household discipleship actually requires — not battlefield heroics, but the daily, awkward, costly act of opening God's Word in your own house. The charge is simple and non-negotiable: lead your family in Scripture this week, starting tonight.

Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:6-7

Today's Charge: Lead your household through Scripture this week — read a passage aloud to your family, ask one question about God, and refuse to let silence fill the space that belongs to your voice.

Wednesday, June 3, 2026 • Today's Principle: Truth

George Santos is back in federal crosshairs — but today's episode uses his story not as political commentary, but as a mirror. The principle is Truth from Chapter 3 of Men of the Republic: speak it plainly, don't soften it for comfort, don't weaponize it for ego. The charge is simple and costly: name the truth you've been swallowing, and say it before the week is out.

Scripture: Ephesians 4:15

Today's Charge: Identify the one truth you've been avoiding and speak it plainly — to your wife, your son, your church, or yourself — before the end of this week.

Tuesday, June 2, 2026 • Today's Principle: Discipline

Michigan is rolling back the requirements it put in place to ensure parents had actually thought through vaccine exemptions — and the reason is simple: the friction got unpopular and the state blinked. Today's episode uses that pattern to drive home the principle of Discipline from chapter four of Men of the Republic. Drawing on Paul's athletic framework in First Corinthians nine and the sobering promise of Hebrews twelve, Carlos charges every man listening to stop negotiating with the hard thing he already knows he needs to do — and to start today.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 9:26-27; Hebrews 12:11

Today's Charge: Identify the one hard thing you have been negotiating with yourself about and do it today — then again tomorrow — as the repeated act of formation that makes a man trustworthy in his household and useful in the public square.
