Iowa pastor shares how he left adult film work for faith, hope and love
Fox News
Joshua Broome, who is based in Iowa, revealed to Fox News Digital how he left the adult film industry in 2013 — and turned his life around with the help of his now-wife, Hope.
Hope is the one who told Joshua Broome, "God defines who you are." "I'm going to make this movie, and I'll get a check and I won't do it again," he told himself. "Joshua didn't exist … Everyone knew me by my stage name because that’s who I had become." Over the next two years, Broome worked hard in his new role at the gym, moving up to a head coach, then a manager and finally a general manager. "I was able to relinquish not just the shame and the guilt from porn, but the shame and the guilt from feeling like I wasn’t good enough my entire life." "Sharing my story is incredibly therapeutic for me," he said.
Broome, born in Charlotte, N.C., and today on the teaching team at Good News Baptist Church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, travels the country sharing his story and reaching out to others. "I think that trauma and pain and mistakes may entangle you," he said. "They hold you back from the life that God designed you to live."
He also said, "I want to be the person to help untangle that web."
