Citizenship | The Town That Canceled the Fourth of July
from The Republic Briefing · host Carlos Reyes III
Thursday, May 28, 2026 • Today's Principle: Citizenship When a Massachusetts town canceled its Fourth of July celebration for lack of public safety volunteers, it exposed a pattern of civic withdrawal that goes far deeper than a staffing shortage. Today's episode uses the principle of Citizenship to press every man on his responsibility to the public square — not as a political activist, but as a servant under God's ordered design for human community. The charge is simple and immediate: find one civic role your community needs filled, and take one step toward filling it this week. Scripture: Romans 13:1-4 Today's Charge: Identify one civic role in your community that needs a man and take a concrete step toward filling it this week. — 📖 Men of the Republic — the book behind the briefing.
