Allie sits down with Colorado high school senior Sophia Shumaker and First Liberty attorney Keisha Russell after Sophia's Bible-verse parking spot was censored. When the school banned “religious imagery,” Sophia painted a subtle backward fish — then fought back with First Liberty's help. The district caved, changed the policy, and let her repaint it with her original design, which includes the Bible verse 1 Corinthians 13:4. This is a powerful reminder to be bold in your faith no matter your stage in life or occupation, be that a student or lawyer. Courage is contagious!

In this episode, Bunni Pounds sits down with constitutional attorney Keisha Russell of First Liberty Institute to discuss her new book on defending religious freedom.Keisha shares her journey from teaching special education in Atlanta to becoming one of the nation's leading defenders of religious liberty. Together, Bunni and Keisha dive deep into why the First Amendment matters for every believer, how Christians can boldly exercise their rights, and why fear should never keep us from living out our faith in public.They explore real cases—from Coach Kennedy's historic win at the Supreme Court to believers standing firm in schools and workplaces—and unpack the cultural misunderstandings around “separation of church and state.” Keisha reminds us that defending freedom isn't just about courtrooms; it's about inspiring everyday Christians to know the truth, stand firm, and proclaim the gospel without fear.
