The Rise Up Kings Podcast is about equipping men to step into their God-given purpose by conquering the battles that hold them back. In this episode, we sit down with Joshua Broome, a man who went from the adult film industry to becoming a global speaker and pastor. His story of brokenness, redemption, and purpose will challenge everything you thought you knew about success, identity, and true freedom. We dive into the impact of pornography, the lies men believe, and how to break free from shame to walk in God’s best. This is a conversation every man needs to hear.
