The difference in Baptist and Catholic amicus briefs is striking. Baptists protest, "This is illegal!"; Catholics assert, "This is wrong!" I stumbled upon this while doing research for a paper extending Nettles' two models of Baptist identity to the domain of public theology.

My 10-year-old son likes the band @sabaton because (1) they sing about wars, (2) he likes metal, and (3) he thinks the lead singer sounds like Strongbad.

Me, before starting a preaching series on Hebrews: "How did John Owen write over 2 million words of commentary on a ~5,000 word book?" Me, after starting a preaching series on Hebrews: "Wow, John Owen must have left a lot on the cutting room floor."

All that to say ... if your employer ever tells you that you must violate your religious beliefs, respond with calm conviction. Put your objection in writing. Cite your sincerely held religious beliefs. Request accommodation under Title VII. And then entrust the outcome to God.

So while the CHRO may view it as imperative that you attend the “gender identity” or pronoun training, the GC is thinking about depositions, discovery, and outside counsel bills. They very, very much do not want to go to litigation—certainly not so HR can die on the hill of you

The General Counsel, however, lives in a different world. The GC is responsible not only for shielding the company from legal liability, but also for controlling outside legal costs. They do not want a Title VII religious discrimination lawsuit—especially post–Groff v. DeJoy.

While both, ostensibly, exist to shield the company from liability, the CHRO is more likely to have an ideological insistance that you must abide by policies that align with the current cultural winds. So when you object on religious grounds, they often see it as defiance that

I cannot explain in the space of an X post the tension that tends to exist between the incentives of the Chief Human Resources Officer and the General Counsel (or Chief Legal Officer).

Now, to be clear, I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. But before the Lord called me into pastoral ministry, I spent nearly two decades as a corporate executive. I’ve watched the internal machinery up close.

General claims of “policy conflict” or “diversity disruption” are legally insufficient. Mere discomfort with your religious conviction is not a lawful reason to refuse accommodation.

Moreover, before denying your request, the employer must demonstrate that no reasonable alternative exists that would avoid that hardship. They must explore every practical option to accommodate your faith before concluding that accommodation is impossible.
