Mercy Culture

He did over 1,000 porn films. Won the industry's top award. Made millions. And he wrote a suicide note listing why he'd never be a husband, father, or contribute anything good to the world.

Joshua Broome was one of the most recognizable names in adult film—until a bank teller called him by his real name. A name he hadn't heard in two years.

In this episode, Josh exposes what the porn industry doesn't want you to know:

→ How recruiters target broken people with specific questions about their childhood

→ The girl who showed up on set on her 18th birthday (and how she got there)

→ Why performers don't use their real names—and what that does to their humanity

→ The 49 colleagues Josh personally knew who died by suicide or overdose

→ Why 84% of young Christian men admit to watching porn monthly

This isn't an anti-porn rant. It's a Christ-centered conversation about redemption, the father wound, and what it actually takes to break free.

Josh now pastors, speaks nationally, and has been married to his wife Hope for nearly 10 years. They have four sons.
