Resign rather than refuse: conscience and the price of discipleship

  • Should the clerk have resigned rather than refused to issue the marriage licenses?

A host addressed by name in the audio as Dan is asked whether he has the right approach, and says he'd resign before signing licenses he believes violate his conscience, noting following Christ comes with a price. Others agree she'd have been better off resigning; there's discussion of the hypocrisy of selective outrage, of whether 'only God can judge me' is a valid stance (no — believers are called to call out sin, but coupled with the gospel), and of Daniel protesting on his own behalf rather than on everyone's.
