Sacrifice | The Senator Who Paid the Price for Five Years
from The Republic Briefing · host Carlos Reyes III
Saturday, May 16, 2026 • Today's Principle: Sacrifice Today's episode takes the principle of Sacrifice and drives it through the story of a senator facing the long-term cost of a public stand — not to adjudicate the politics, but to confront the pattern of men who commit to sacrifice in theory and retreat when the bill arrives. Drawing from First Peter, Carlos grounds the charge in Christ's cross as the model for costly obedience, then calls men to stop performing leadership and identify the specific stand they've been avoiding. The charge is concrete: this week, not someday, take the stand that has a price on it. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:20-21; 1 Peter 4:19 Today's Charge: Identify the specific costly stand you've been avoiding and take it this week — in your household, your relationships, or your public square. — 📖 Men of the Republic — the book behind the briefing.
