Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey: Today we’re joined by Joshua Broome, pastor and host of the “Counterfeit Culture” podcast, to discuss his incredible story of redemption from porn star to pastor. He shares his story, from how he got into the porn industry to finding Christ. We talk about his recruitment into the industry and his findings on the horrors within, including questions of trafficking and consent. We discuss what’s really going on in the porn industry, and he explains his response to the common phrase “sex work is work.” Then, we take a look at his breaking point and his returning home after leaving the industry and his struggles with hiding his past. He shares his journey of meeting his wife, becoming a father, and ultimately finding true healing in Christ. We also discuss what policies should be in place to protect us from the evils of porn.
