## Resource

In today’s episode of Wise Counsel, host Robert Smith explores Micah 6:6–8, where the prophet calls God’s people not to empty ritual, but to justice, mercy, and humility. This passage challenges us to consider what true worship looks like beyond church walls and Sunday mornings. Drawing on insights from Michael S. Heiser (on the covenantal faithfulness of God’s people) and N.T. Wright (on kingdom ethics and public witness), we reflect on what it means to “do justice” in both personal life and public society. With echoes in American history—from Abraham Lincoln’s vision of a just nation to Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream of righteousness like rolling waters—this episode reminds us that faith is always lived out in action.
