Former lesbian porn star came to faith after an experience with Jesus that shook her 'to the core'

A former lesbian porn star in Great Britain shared her testimony in a recent interview with news site Barcroft TV.

Teresa Carey left the adult industry in 2009 after having sex with over 100 women on camera and appeared in major adult titles like Playboy. Both she and her husband, Scott, claim the dramatic change in their life came after they saw Jesus face-to-face in a "religious epiphany."

"A vision came over us both," Teresa explained. "I think the reason it happened to us both together, is so that years down the line I can think back and realize, 'Ok, I'm not crazy because it happened to my husband as well.'"

Scott, who married Teresa in 2012, said the vision only lasted three or four minutes but was life-changing.

"When we came back we were absolutely overcome... overcome with emotion," he told Barcroft TV's cameras. "We looked at each other and the tears were just streaming down our face, but we couldn't say anything."

"It shook us to the core," Teresa added.

As a young woman, Teresa had slowly drifted into starring in pornographic films—starting as a portrait model, then a nude model—but it was not difficult for her to leave the industry cold turkey. The 36-year-old said she was increasingly uncomfortable with her line of work.

"It was more to do with me inside," she shared. "It was a slow process of me, feeling it inside my own heart of, 'What am I doing?'"

When she dedicated her life to Christ, however, Carey said she felt no judgment from the Lord.

"I didn't get any sense of condemnation from [Jesus], that all came from myself and from other people," she said. "I now realise that being a porn star was not what God wanted me to be doing, but He didn't condemn me for it.

"It's was more 'When you're ready, you can come with Me.'

"It was really a testament to my faith that I thought 'I'm going to have to cut this out and I have faith that God is going to lead me into something better.'"

Carey is now expecting a child and travels to colleges and churches as part of her "Porn Again Christian" ministry.

"People are really positive, talking to me afterwards," she said of her speaking engagements. "That's what I'm always telling people – if Jesus could come to me, a woman who was working in the porn industry, which most people around me would think was a pretty low thing to be doing, then he can come to anybody.

"If he didn't condemn me for what I was doing, then he's not going to condemn you."
