Summary
Joshua Broome is an ex-pornstar turned pastor, and is the current chief strategy officer of Share The King. He has had a 6-year period career in the porn industry where he is known to be one of the most successful adult film star. Today, he is known for his work in combating the lies of the world with the truth found in the word of God. Growing up in a small town in South Carolina with a teenage mother and no father, Joshua's upbringing has shaped his identity and influenced his journey.
In this episode, Larry Hagner welcomes a special guest, Joshua Broome, a former porn star. They discuss the interesting phenomenon of high podcast downloads but low social media engagement when it comes to discussing topics related to porn. They also delve into Joshua's personal life, including his family, and explore his childhood growing up without a father.
Joshua Broome’s personal experiences highlight the real-life consequences of engaging in the porn industry. He discuss the internal struggle they faced, trying to reconcile his personal values and desires with the demands of their career. Joshua also admits that he allowed himself to be dehumanized and accepted situations that deep down he was not comfortable with, all in the name of conforming to the expectations of the industry.
However, Joshua Broome's story also offers a powerful message of redemption through faith and opportunity. Despite being trapped in a cycle of shame and selfishness, Joshua experienced a transformative moment when a bank teller saw him and asked if he was okay. This simple act of genuine concern and recognition sparked a domino effect that led him to make the decision to leave the porn industry and pursue a different path.
Faith played a significant role in the guest's journey towards redemption. As a person of faith, he attributes the promptings and premonitions he felt to the Holy Spirit. These divine promptings urged him to reach out and connect with others, reminding him of the importance of human connection and compassion. Joshua's faith also played a role in his decision to leave the industry, as he saw his name being used to call him out of a place of death and into a life of salvation.
