The man identified as Joshua Broome was an adult film star up until 2012 when he quit the ‘enjoyment industry’, citing emotional trauma for his decision.
A lady friend started taking him to church and that was when his life took a turn for the better after he surrendered his life to God.
He went ahead to study Biblical Theology and has become a pastor. He then married the lady who took him to church. They both have three sons now.
Lad Bible shared his photo on their official Instagram page and gave graphic background about his story. The post read;
Joshua Broome filmed more than 1,000 X-rated movies under his old stage name ‘Rocco Reed’. However, after six years he decided to quit the industry in 2012 because it caused him a ‘tremendous amount of emotional trauma’, reports NY Post.
In 2014 he came across his future wife, Hope, who he met at the gym. The pair decided to go for a run together and Broome was amazed how Hope refused to judge him for his past. After getting to know one another, Hope invited Broome to church, where he suddenly felt a ‘spiritual awakening’. Broome studied Biblical theology prior to marrying Hope in 2016. The couple now have three sons together.
Broome currently works as a pastor at the Good News Baptist Church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and also teaches and preaches around the country.
Speaking out on the downsides of porn, he said: “It’s so harmful. You are saying it’s okay to consume a person like a product, and if you treat people like products every aspect of your life is going to be detrimental.”
