In this episode of Coffee Culture and the Capitol, Sophia Lorey and Greg Jere tackle the sobering reality of what it means to stand for truth in a broken and hostile world.

They reflect on the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, honoring his courage and unwavering faith. Sophia shares her own testimony of facing harassment and persecution for speaking biblical truth, reminding listeners that following Jesus often comes with a cost—but always leads to eternal reward.

The conversation then shifts to current battles at California’s Capitol: AB 495, which now sits on Governor Newsom’s desk, and a groundbreaking lawsuit filed by three Jurupa Valley High School athletes defending fairness and safety in girls’ sports.
