Ex-porn star Joshua Broome is on a mission to spread the Gospel and help people build stronger and healthier relationships with the Lord. Now a preacher and evangelist, Broome routinely shares the Gospel at churches, schools, and other arenas, explaining how the Lord radically transformed his life. Broome was among those present at Rupp Arena in downtown Lexington, Kentucky, Sunday night for a powerful, last-minute revival meeting hosted by Christian evangelist Nick Hall.
Broome joined CBN’s Faithwire to describe what it was like to speak to hundreds of Asbury students and community members who came together to continue praise and worship after the now-viral revival experience broke out on the Asbury University campus earlier this month, and the public portion was suspended. “They wanted to continue to worship. They wanted to continue to seek God — there was this overwhelming hunger,” Broome said of those seeking to continue worship. “Nick saw an opportunity and he … reached out to Rupp Arena.” And the rest is history.
Broome said he observed a “visible hunger” for the Lord and said the theme of the event was repentance. “God is moving in a very unique way,” Broome said. “God is doing a new thing that He’s done in the past … there’s momentum. People want to be a part of it and they feel drawn to it.” Despite the chaos in culture, Broome said he believes God is “calling to His people.” “In a very real way, the world is so incredibly dark,” he said.
“People are getting free from bondage. There’s marriages being restored. There’s addictions being broken. There’s people who have suicidal ideation and they’re saying, ‘Hey, I want to live a life and I believe that there’s a purpose bigger than myself.'” He’s hoping to inspire people through his own journey of leaving the porn industry, finding Jesus, and seeing his life become totally restored.
