Hey young leaders,
We live in a time where voices are loud, opinions are everywhere, and the line between truth and trend gets blurry. But let me remind you: we are called to be salt and light — not just in the church, but in the world, including the halls of power and politics.
The pulpit is not just a platform for preaching, it's a place for purpose. It's where truth is declared, justice is lifted, and hope is restored. Politics, on the other hand, isn't just about power plays or dirty games — it's about serving people, shaping systems, and standing up for what’s right.
You don’t have to choose between being spiritual and being socially aware. Jesus wasn’t afraid to speak truth to power. Daniel, Esther, and Joseph used their faith to influence kings and nations. We are not here to hide from politics — we’re here to engage with integrity, grounded in the Word and led by the Spirit.
So speak up. Vote. Serve. Advocate. But do it all with humility, wisdom, and the heart of Christ. Because the goal isn’t just to win arguments, it’s to win souls — and build a nation that reflects the justice, mercy, and love of God.
You were born for such a time as this.

Hello kabataang lider,
Sa panahon ngayon, ang daming ingay — kaliwa’t kanan ang opinyon, ang tama at totoo minsan nalilito. Pero tandaan mo: tinawag tayo para maging asin at ilaw — hindi lang sa loob ng simbahan, kundi sa buong mundo, kabilang na ang mundo ng pulitika.
Ang pulpito ay hindi lang para mangaral, kundi para tumindig sa layunin. Dito ipinapahayag ang katotohanan, isinusulong ang katarungan, at ibinabalik ang pag-asa. Samantala, ang pulitika ay hindi lang tungkol sa kapangyarihan — ito'y tungkol sa paglilingkod, sa pagbabagong sistema, at sa paninindigan para sa tama.
Hindi mo kailangang mamili kung magiging maka-Diyos o makabayan ka. Si Jesus mismo ay matapang na nagsalita laban sa katiwalian. Sina Daniel, Esther, at Jose ay ginamit ang kanilang pananampalataya upang makaapekto sa mga hari at bansa. Hindi tayo tinawag para umiwas — kundi para makialam, may paninindigan, at may puso para sa Diyos.
Kaya magsalita ka. Bumoto. Maglingkod. Makialam. Pero gawin mo ito ng may kababaang-loob, karunungan, at pusong tulad ni Cristo. Dahil hindi lang argumento ang gusto nating mapanalo — kundi kaluluwa, at ang pagbabago ng bayan.
Ipinanganak ka para sa panahong ito.
