System Reboot: When Faith Rebuilds | Courage by Ed Garcia

Ash Wednesday. You are dust. Systems fail. Nations fall. But courage rebuilds.Forty years after EDSA People Power, engineer Tricia Oliveros reflects on what happens when everything collapses — whether it’s a nation, a career, or the structures we built our identity on.In this Ash Wednesday episode of JOSh Friends, Tricia connects her 11 years in engineering — where every system failure demanded a reboot — with the deeper spiritual reboot Lent invites us into.Featuring insights from COURAGE! by Ed Garcia, one of the framers of the 1987 Constitution, this episode asks:What does moral courage look like today?Not in revolutions — but in routines.Not in applause — but in secret.Not in noise — but in faithfulness.As we receive ashes and hear the words, “Remember that you are dust,” we are reminded that titles fade, achievements pass, and even nations must rebuild. But courage — the quiet, daily decision to do the right thing in the right way despite fear — is what restores what has been broken.This Lent, we are invited to practice a different kind of People Power:Integrity in private.Prayer behind closed doors.Kindness without performance.Hope without spotlight.Because rebuilding doesn’t start on the streets.It starts in the heart.📖 COURAGE! by Ed Garcia and Sacred Space are available at jescom.ph/josh.Let this Ash Wednesday be your reset — not just of habits, but of hope.
