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. Its 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.

Actually, there is very little about her story that is supported by Sola Scriptura.
Her coordinated nails do stand out.
I did some googling and her pornstar website is still up. Hmmm. She may still be paying the bills with porn . . .
It seems to me that ‘sola scriptura’ has more integrity than, “We make it up as we go along.”
Or she sold all rights to her name years ago and doesn’t get a dime.
That was my exact first thought
Why not?
Good point.
You probably need women with caked makeup and revealing clothes to think they’re beautiful. Your cynical post revealed a lot...coming to Jesus Christ changes people...what she once desired has changed to new adoration and real joy in her life. In other words...she won
Why?
If we believe in God, we must believe that the Bible is the Word of God and that it is accurate.
I Timothy 3 reviews the biblical guidelines for being an elder or Deacon. These are the pastoral leaders of the church. It reads: The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God’s church? ...
In every place, it says He or his. OK, so you could interpret that as his in the generic sense, but when it says he must be the husband of one wife, that pretty much removes all wiggle room, unless of course you’re a liberal.
Paul was also very clear that women are to remain silent in church. pretty hard to be a silent pastor, unless you’re in a deaf church and preaching with ASL.
as opposed to say...Pope Francis? lololol
Indeed, it could be much worse!
Well....
Fulton....
That could be interesting.
It’s not like that drug infested, welfare hell hole couldn’t use to heart the gospel.
HEAR the gospel.
It would be a step up for Fulton.
