How to Break Free From Your Messy Past (Once and for All) ft. Joshua Broome

He spent nearly seven years in the adult film industry, built a successful career, and became known for something he would eventually have to walk away from. But leaving that life behind didn’t mean he knew how to leave the shame behind it.

Joshua Broome is a pastor, speaker, author, and advocate who has lived through one of the most radical transformations imaginable. After walking away from the adult film industry, he began a new chapter of faith, healing, forgiveness, and purpose. But what looked like a completely different life on the outside still came with questions about who he really was and whether he could ever become someone new.

In this episode, Joshua talks honestly about the adult film industry and what life looked like behind the success, the father wound that shaped his understanding of himself, and why bringing hidden pain into the light can be part of healing. He also shares what changed when he stopped trying to prove he was worthy and began to understand who God says he is. His story will challenge you to look at the parts of your own life you may still be letting define you, and to ask what could change if you finally saw yourself the way God does.

What You’ll Learn:

• What God sees when you only see your past

• The connection between your pain, your memories, and your healing

• What forgiveness looks like when you can’t control the outcome

• What Jesus’ joy on the cross really means for you

• How God can redeem the parts of your story you want to erase
