BONUS | Her Bible-Verse Parking Spot Was Banned … Then She Fought Back and Won | Sophia Shumaker & Keisha Russell
Blaze Podcast, First Liberty, Colorado high school senior
About this Episode
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 it a student or lawyer. Courage is contagious!
