Hammond shares his personal story, including his lifelong same-sex attractions and how his faith journey led him to a life of celibacy and ministry. He founded Strength and Weakness in 2006 to support Christians wrestling with unwanted same-sex attraction and to engage the LGBTQ community with the Gospel. Today, the ministry serves thousands in over 80 countries.

A major focus of the conversation is the growing influence of pro-gay theology within the church. Hammond explains why he believes this theology misinterprets Scripture and ultimately compromises Biblical sexual ethics. He walks through five key Bible passages that he believes clearly define sexual boundaries, arguing that God's standards haven’t changed—even if culture has.

While he's firm in his convictions, Hammond stresses the importance of treating everyone with dignity, humility, and compassion. He admits there’s much we still don’t understand about gender and sexuality, but insists that doesn’t change what Scripture teaches.

He also pushes back against popular pro-gay theologians like John Boswell and Matthew Vines, tracing how their ideas have taken hold in some churches. Instead, Hammond calls Christians back to a framework where holiness—not changing one’s attractions—is the goal.

He shares how, despite his attractions, he’s had emotionally and spiritually rich relationships with women, including a marriage, to show that faithfulness to God’s design is still possible.

Ultimately, Hammond challenges listeners to dig deep into Scripture and church history, urging them not to let cultural pressure override Biblical truth. The episode is part personal testimony, part theological critique, and all a call to clarity and conviction in today’s church.
