What does it look like to chase fame, validation, and success only to realize the very thing you thought would fulfill you is destroying you from the inside out? And can God really redeem a life marked by shame, addiction, brokenness, and regret?
In Episode 57 of SeeKing Podcast, we sit down with Joshua Broome for one of the most honest and powerful conversations we’ve had yet. Joshua opens up about growing up without a father, the deep desire to be seen and affirmed, and how that search for identity eventually led him into the adult film industry, where he became one of the top male p*rn stars in the world.
But behind the fame, money, attention, and public image was a man battling emptiness, isolation, confusion, and hopelessness. Joshua shares the painful reality of what life looked like behind the scenes: struggling with misplaced identity, feeling trapped by shame, wrestling with suicidal thoughts, and believing his life could never amount to anything good.
What begins as a conversation about p*rnography and fame quickly unfolds into a deeper discussion about father wounds, masculinity, purpose, temptation, spiritual warfare, addiction, identity, repentance, marriage, and the transforming power of the Gospel.
We also talk about how culture normalizes p*rnography while ignoring its spiritual and emotional consequences. Why are so many people searching for validation in sex, fame, relationships, and achievement? What happens when shame becomes your identity? And how does Jesus restore someone who feels too far gone to be redeemed?
Along the way, Joshua shares how God completely transformed his life, redeemed his story, restored his purpose, and showed him that freedom is actually possible. This episode is a reminder that no amount of brokenness is beyond the reach of God’s grace.
This conversation is raw, vulnerable, and deeply honest. It’s about confronting sin without losing sight of redemption, understanding the deeper wounds beneath addiction, and discovering that Jesus still changes lives today.
