At Calvary Chapel San Jose on November 6, Nala Ray and Brittni De La Mora told the TPUSA Faith Make Heaven Crowded Tour how Jesus pulled them out of the adult film industry. De La Mora went from millions of dollars to $11.25 an hour, and says her heart was full.

Two women who once earned millions in the adult film industry stood on a church stage in San Jose on November 6 and told a packed room how Jesus pulled them out. Nala Ray and Brittni De La Mora shared their stories at Calvary Chapel San Jose, as part of the TPUSA Faith Make Heaven Crowded Tour, and their message was simple: no amount of money, fame, or attention could give them what faith finally did.

Christian journalist Billy Hallowell led the discussion, asking both women what drew them into the industry and what the trauma of it cost them. They did not hide the hard parts. They talked about the desperation, the emptiness, and the moments when they felt they had nowhere left to turn, and then they talked about the moment faith reached them and they were empowered to walk away.

Brittni De La Mora $11.25 an hour faith testimony

Brittni De La Mora gave the room its most stinging line of the night. I went from being able to make millions of dollars to working for $11.25 an hour, she said. My bank account was empty, but my heart was full. It was the kind of sentence that stops a room, because it turns the whole idea of success upside down.

De La Mora faced real financial hardship after leaving the industry. The money she had been used to was gone, and the work she could find paid almost nothing. But she said that a few years into her faith, God blessed her with her husband, and she told the crowd what that blessing felt like. And when God said that he was going to bless my life like no man ever could, I had no idea what he had in store, she said.

She also had a word for the young people in the room who are chasing the same things she once chased. Pointing them toward Jesus, she said no quantity of objects in the world can bring the fulfillment that faith brings. It was not a lecture. It was a woman who had owned everything and found it empty, telling a room full of strangers what she wished someone had told her.

Nala Ray OnlyFans to faith baptism 2023

Nala Ray's road out was just as dramatic. Raised in Illinois as the daughter of a Baptist pastor, she grew up in church, on the worship team, doing what her parents told her to do, but she has said she never had a real relationship with Christ. She left that foundation behind and became one of the top earners on OnlyFans, reportedly making as much as 300,000 dollars a month, with more than 270,000 subscribers and earnings of over 14 million dollars.

Her return to faith began with a man named Jordan Giordano, a former Marine whose Christian faith she credits as instrumental in her own return to church. After months of long conversations about God, love, and redemption, she was baptized at Fearless Church, a non-denominational church in Los Angeles, on December 26, 2023. A video of her baptism drew 8.1 million views on her Instagram. She married Giordano on March 31, 2024, and the couple have since moved to Nashville, Tennessee.

Since leaving the industry, Ray has used her platform to speak openly about repentance, identity, and new life in Christ. She has shared the Gospel with an atheist in a conversation that drew wide attention, and she has launched a podcast, The Nala Ray Show, where she plans to discuss Christian faith and invite other creators to ask what she calls the hard questions. Her testimony underscores a central message: transformation in Christ is not merely behavioral, but deeply identity-shaping.

Make Heaven Crowded Tour TPUSA Faith San Jose

The San Jose stop also featured Ruslan and Pastor Lucas Miles, and the night was part of a tour that is still moving across the country, with more stops ahead. The tour's name says what it is trying to do: fill heaven with people who might never have walked into a church on their own, by putting real stories of change in front of them.

The two women's stories land in a wider season of public faith that keeps growing louder. WNBA star Sophie Cunningham told a podcast audience this month that she believes a Christian revival is happening and that she loves Jesus, as reported in Sophie Cunningham: I Love Jesus, Revival Is Happening. On college campuses, more than 700 students chose Christ in one night at Appalachian State, as reported in Latest: 700 Students Choose Christ and 100 Baptized at Appalachian State Revival.

What makes the San Jose night different is the honesty of it. These were not polished celebrity interviews. They were two women telling a room full of people that the life they left behind promised them everything and gave them nothing, and that the faith they found gave them everything they had been looking for. The enviroment was a church, the language was plain, and the message was one the crowd could carry home.

Pastor Steven Andrew has called America to a 40-day revival of prayer and fasting that runs through December 16, as reported in Steven Andrew Launches 40-Day Revival for America Nov 7. The Make Heaven Crowded Tour is running on the same fuel: ordinary people, telling other ordinary people, that change is possible. Bishop Philip North told churches in Lancashire this autumn to prepare for spiritual rebirth, as reported in Bishop Philip North calls Lancashire churches to prepare for spiritual rebirth, and nights like the one in San Jose are what that rebirth looks like up close.

More tour stops are ahead, and the tour's organisers say the dates and speakers are listed on the tour website. Whether the crowds keep coming, and whether more people hear these two stories and decide to walk the same road out, is the open question now. For one night in San Jose, two women who had everything and lost it all told a room full of strangers that they had found something better, and the room stayed to listen.
