## Resource

Episode 93 of Coffee, Culture, and the Capitol, highlights both cultural and legislative challenges facing Christians in California. Sophia reflects on speaking at a women’s conference, emphasizing that young girls are increasingly exposed to issues like gender ideology at early ages and encouraging parents to engage in honest conversations with their children. Sophia Lorey and Greg Burt stress the importance of boldly speaking biblical truth, even when it is unpopular, rather than offering a “watered-down” version of the Gospel. The episode also covers the failure of SB 1070, introduced by Shannon Grove, which sought to strengthen protections for churches against disruptive protests; despite arguments that it was necessary to protect religious freedom, the bill was voted down in committee, reflecting ongoing political divisions over public safety and First Amendment rights.
