Broome stated that “sexual sin is so polarizing” and has “always been an idol.”

“When someone’s story includes that kind of past, people say things like, ‘There’s not enough water in the ocean to baptize someone like her, or someone like me, or maybe someone like you,’” said Broome. “But God doesn’t put a resumé of sin on a scale. The blood of the cross doesn’t just outweigh sin, it covers, and when Jesus saves, we’re declared righteous, not because of our past, but because of him.”
“I’m not here to crown anyone’s story or or even to cancel it. I’m here to say this: Jesus still saves and if he can pull me out of darkness, he can pull anyone out,” said Broome. “That’s who he is, that’s what he does. So maybe instead of throwing stones, let’s pray for her. Let’s pray for real repentance, real discipleship and a real life that bears fruit.”

Broome encouraged those listening to pray that God would use Phillips’ story the same way God used his story to reach “millions of people that thought they’ve gone too far, they’ve done too much, they were too broken.”
“God is not intimidated, and his Word and his Spirit and the truth of the Gospel says this: He is in the business of making dead things alive, because that is what he does, and he will do the same thing for you and for her as he’s done for me,” concluded Broome.
Broome wrote the following next to his video:
Was this for real or a hoax? Is she wrestling with her faith or is she leveraging a hot topic issue? I don’t know the answer but I know this: Sexual sin seems to trigger a level of outrage that other sins don’t. We tolerate pride, greed, gossip, and self-righteousness—but sexual brokenness often becomes the line where grace suddenly has limits. That should sober us. Scripture never minimizes sexual sin, but it also never places it outside the reach of redemption. The same gospel that saves the morally respectable saves the visibly broken. If someone’s past makes us uncomfortable, that may say more about our theology than their repentance. Jesus did not bleed selectively. The cross does not cover some sins more than others. And mercy does not require our approval to be effective. The church’s role has never been to rank sins—it’s to proclaim repentance, walk with people in truth, and trust God with transformation. Grace didn’t excuse my sin. It confronted it—and then healed me. That’s still how Jesus works.
