This New York mom has gone from porn star to the pulpit. Crystal Bassette, 33, ditched her lucrative career in the porn industry and her lavish Los Angeles lifestyle to become a church pastor in the small town of Fulton, New York.
“It is definitely the ultimate change. It’s going from one extreme to the next. I had to get away from this whole life,” Bassette told Barcoft Media, referring to her 10-year stint doing porn.
She said, “The day I was saved, I felt like the preacher was just speaking to me directly. It was like he was preaching to only me and you know that day I felt God was talking to me through his preaching and everything he said felt right.”
When Bassette left the porn industry she went to college to become a paralegal and trained as a pastor.
Soon after marrying David, the two founded their own church together called New Beginnings Christian Life where they hope to inspire others.

Praise God from who all blessings flow!
But she still shouldn’t be a “pastor.”
How'd that work out?
Sheesh! My hometown.
My mother in law tended bar and worked as a go-go girl while she put herself through theological school. She had a good heart, but she was a train wreck as a pastor.
She just went from one form of attention-seeking to another.
“...I felt like the preacher was just speaking to me directly.
...but she kept the money.
We are all sinners in the eyes of God. There is just sin! no great or mortal sins verses minor sins. If she has been saved then all the more glory to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. He welcomes all us and through Him we are made pure.
Maybe she just thought she was? Maybe wanted attention? Maybe thought it was a cool thing to do?
Probably better than going from a preacher to a prostitute.
(Did I really say that?)
Thanks for not posting photos... (I went to the source link.)
Amen and thank you.
She just went from one form of attention-seeking to another.

You’re just an “opinionated blowhard.”
I am pulling for her. Great that she can turn her life around. Seems you should be pulling for her.
I had a friend who always ate dessert first.
I wonder if they’re related?
Happy for her! Great she can turn her life around in such a way.
That is a wonderful story. I’m glad she opened her heart to God.
I remember when Jane Fonda was “saved” a few years ago.
How’d that work out?

If she is “saved,” it will work out very well for her over the long-run.
I am glad that she is saved.
$300,000 per year gets you a house in Malibu and 7 cars including a Ferrari? Something doesn’t quite add up.
She opened her own church?
I HOPE it’s sincere, but it could also be she found another way to screw people for money.
You see it all the time with ‘reverend’ so-and-so in the ghettos. Like Al Sharpton?
