Life Changing

I heard about Joshua Broom’s new book from the podcast with JP and decided to get it because I wanted to read the forward by JP and wow was I shocked. I could not put the book down. Joshua is an incredibly honest, inspirational man. I’ve never dealt with porn myself but it brought so much comfort as I’ve been in relationships with people who love porn more than Jesus and this gave me such eye opening insight. Incredible!!

An Absolute Must Listen

This is one of only a few places in the world you will hear the truth about porn, the industry, and the affects they have on humanity. This is a crisis that far too few are willing to discuss.

Cameron Austin Jr. ,

Very Well Done

Josh’s story is powerful. The gospel displayed in how Jesus meets us in our brokenness and makes us new. Being a student pastor that has constant conversations about teenagers struggles, this podcast gives us not just super important yet heartbreaking data, but also personal stories shining light into darkness. When you call sin out, the enemy loses power. Praise God for all He’s done. Send this podcast to your friends. The Unmentionable needs to be mentioned.
