Joshua Broome knows firsthand that God can radically change a life.<\/p>\n

Once a performer in the adult film industry, Broome walked away from that world after encountering Jesus Christ. Today, he serves as a pastor and speaker, using his story of redemption to challenge men to pursue the identity God created them to live out.<\/p>\n

During a recent appearance on “The Bible Bros Podcast With Billy and Dalton,”<\/em><\/a> Broome explained why he believes so many men today struggle to step into their God-given role as leaders in their families and communities.<\/p>\n

His answer points to what he believes is one of Satan’s most effective strategies.<\/p>\n

“If Satan can’t rob you of your salvation, he’ll settle for your silence,” Broome said. “And if he can make a man silent, then that’s\u2026 the second biggest victory that he could win.”<\/p>\n

According to Broome, silence has become a major problem not just for individual men, but for culture as a whole. When men fail to lead spiritually or speak truth into the world around them, the impact can be significant.<\/p>\n

“You’re not leading yourself if you’re not leading your family, if you’re not speaking into culture,” he said.<\/p>\n

Broome believes what Christians choose not to say can be just as powerful as what they do say.<\/p>\n

“What we don’t say says something \u2014 what we don’t say says something very loudly,” he explained. “And when people are proclaiming their agendas, their ideologies, and there’s no pushback against that \u2026 we’re being indoctrinated by something.”<\/p>\n

Because of this concern, Broome has made it his mission to encourage men to deepen their relationship with Christ and become spiritual leaders in their homes, workplaces, and communities.<\/p>\n

He regularly speaks at churches and conferences and shares his testimony across social media, urging men to step out of passivity and into purpose.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Broome joined thousands of men at the Ignite Men’s Impact Weekend<\/a> in Lynchburg, Virginia, where around 7,000 attendees gathered to grow in their faith and hear messages from Christian leaders.<\/p>\n

The annual event, hosted at Thomas Road Baptist Church on Liberty University’s campus, has been held for roughly three decades and continues to draw men seeking encouragement and spiritual renewal. Along with Broome, speakers included Tim Timberlake, Jon Gordon, and Rhett Walker.<\/p>\n

Broome said gatherings like Ignite are designed to meet men where they are\u2014whether they are struggling with pornography, feeling passive in today’s culture, or simply trying to reconnect with their faith.<\/p>\n

“The objective of the entire event is to clearly share the Gospel, and get people plugged into healthy local churches, and just start them on a discipleship journey,” he said. “Or say, ‘Hey, maybe you’ve got off track, whether you’re struggling with pornography or you feel like you’re passive in this culture, it’s so much going on that you don’t know what to say.'”<\/p>\n

For Broome, the message he shares is simple but urgent: men were created for more\u2014and when they boldly follow Christ, their voices can help transform families, communities, and culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
