Ex-pornstar Rocco Reed, whose real name is Joshua Broome shares with Paul his remarkable journey out of what Joshua calls a "counterfeit culture." He tells the story of how he moved from a small town to become an actor in Hollywood. He says he, "obtained fame, wealth, and traveled the world all to find out that none of those things would fill the emptiness" of his broken heart. He says, "Then I found Jesus." Joshua explains how a relationship with Jesus healed and restored Joshua's dignity and virtue after working for 6 years performing in over 1,000 pornographic films? He talks speaking on Capital Hill to create legislation called "The Protect Act" that h will enforce anyone accessing porn to verify their identification. Paul asks Joshua unique questions Joshua hasn't answered in other interviews. For example, Paul asks, "How do Christians who've been raised in the church and know the love of God and who've become addicted to where it's ruined their life, destroyed their marriage, how do these people change?" This is a remarkable story about how to turn your life around when you feel like there's no hope at all. Joshua talks about his podcast Counterfeit Culture.

ABOUT JOSHUA BROOME

Joshua says, "My name is Joshua Broome and there was a 6 year period of my life where I was one of the most successful adult film stars in the world. I obtained fame, wealth, and traveled the world all to find out that none of those would fill the emptiness in my heart.

I have been appearing on podcasts, tv shows, and standing on stages for the last five years telling God’s story In my life. I have overcome depression, battling thoughts of suicide, and the emotional scars that come with doing 1,000+ pornographic films.

Today I am a passionate communicator of a message of restoration. I am healed through the life giving power found in Jesus and spent years replacing lies with God’s truth. Today I have been married for five years, we have three sons, and I have devoted my life to those who feel like their life is over because of a circumstance or situation. It’s never too late to change the course of your life."

Joshua founded Finding Hope- A ministry founding by my wife and I in 2022 and church plant in McKinney, Texas that is launching in February 2023.
