Joshua Broome seemed to have it all—money, fame, and a fast-paced lifestyle as one of the top names in the adult film industry. But behind the scenes, he was silently drowning in depression, isolation, and hopelessness. In this gripping episode, Joshua opens up about the hidden pain beneath his public success, the dark moment he nearly ended his life, and the radical transformation that followed.

This conversation goes far beyond surface-level. We explore the dangerous lies culture tells us about success, identity, and worth—and how Joshua found lasting peace, healing, and purpose through the hope of Jesus.

If you’ve ever questioned your value, felt stuck in your past, or wondered if real change is possible, this story is for you. Don’t miss this unfiltered look at what it truly means to be set free.
