How A Former Adult Film Star Found Jesus
Brittni De La Mora starred in hundreds of adult films under the name Jenna Presley. She was making lots of money and was considered a star in her field. But she was anything but happy."I knew that my way in life was not working," Brittni recalled.That's when she met a member of XXXChurch, an anti-porn organization run by Pastor Craig Gross. Intrigued by the group's presence at an adult-industry convention, Brittni accepted the Jesus Loves Porn Stars literature and Bibles they were handing out.
"My first thought was: ‘Are these people legitimate Christians, because how can Jesus love a porn star?’ " she said. "They were so loving and friendly and welcoming. They actually just handed out the Book of John, but they put their own cool cover on it to make it relatable."It was Brittni's first step towards redemption.
Being Made New
Once the former porn star found Jesus, she said goodbye to her old life. Leaving the industry wasn't easy. But it was worth it. Brittni found a new home at a church in San Diego."I went into Church so broken and had come to the end of myself. I was so far down in life I had nowhere to look but up," she said in a recent blog post.RELATED: Porn Star Heard The Word Of The Lord On A Plane And It Changed Everything But as we know, Jesus is the Savior of the broken. He began to show Brittni a new way of living. He began filling the emptiness no amount of money, fame or prestige could ever fill.
"As I began reading the Bible, I learned a new way of living," Brittni explained. "I knew God had given me a second chance at life and I wanted to do whatever I could to do it right this time."Brittni's transformation has never been about forgetting the past. She knows the decisions she made as "Jenna Presley" will always follow her. But just as God transformed Saul to Paul, her story shows God's grace and power is limitless!

Jesus, I make you my Lord and Savior and I pray that you would transform me and restore my purity and innocence to me. I command the spirit of addiction and lust to leave my life now in Jesus name. Lord I thank you because 2 Corinthians 5:17 calls me a new creation in Christ. The old has passed away and the new has come for me. I am a new creation. I am not a product of my past nor my mistakes. In Jesus name, Amen"Brittni's Tips For Overcoming Pornography Addiction
