Page 202: Joshua Broome: Adult Film Star to Pastor, Transformed by Truth Jun 21, 2024

Show notes

Content warning: This episode includes discussion of pornography, suicide, and the adult film industry. For as long as he could remember, Joshua Broome had wrestled with a feeling of emptiness. His quest for affirmation led him to excel in school, sports, modeling and acting. Every achievement was an attempt to fill the void. When a representative of the adult film industry offered a chance for fame and wealth, he took it. But after appearing in more than one thousand adult films and earning over a million dollars, he was profoundly depressed, filled with shame, and suicidal. Joshua's journey from darkness to light began unexpectedly in a bank, where a simple act of kindness reminded him of his true identity. Today Joshua is a preacher, author and podcast host who dedicates his life to sharing the message of hope and love of Jesus.

Immediately after this, COVID lockdowns were worldwide and especially prominent where she lived in Canada.

Page 201: Stories of Fathers: Mark Schultz, Gina Copeland and Jeremy Rosado Jun 14, 2024

Show notes

In 1 John 3:1 it says, "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" God is our Father. Sometimes that can be challenging to comprehend. It's easier to grasp when you've had a good relationship with your earthly dad. It can be more complicated if your relationship is unhealthy or strained. This week on The Unfolding we are sharing three stories of fathers, from Mark Schulz, Gina Copeland and Jeremy Rosado. Each story gives a perspective of how God works healing in and through fathers, whether they are biological, adoptive, or those who simply choose to step into the role of dad.
