What happens when the government tells churches to close their doors? During the pandemic, attorney Jeffrey Trissell found himself at the center of an unprecedented legal battle for religious freedom that would take him to the Supreme Court three times in a single year.

The fight began when California implemented severe restrictions on religious gatherings while allowing "essential" businesses to operate with fewer limitations. As Trissell explains, the constitutional implications were profound: if hospitals remained open because they were "absolutely necessary," shouldn't worship—which believers consider essential to spiritual wellbeing—receive similar consideration?

What makes Trissell's account particularly compelling is his perspective on courage in the face of pressure. Drawing inspiration from St. Thomas More, he reflects on how standing firm in one's convictions often means facing opposition not just from expected adversaries, but sometimes from friends, family, and even religious leaders.
