“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved,” (Rom. 10:13).
In a striking and deeply spiritual exchange, Russell Brand—once bound by addiction but now a man transformed by the power of Christ—sat down with OnlyFans model Lily Phillips for a conversation that was nothing short of eye-opening.
Brand, who has been radically changed by the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, attempted to speak with Phillips, an OnlyFans model who became known for having slept with 100 men in one day. The tears she shed in an interview afterward showed the world the heartbreaking reality of what it looks like to be stuck in this kind of addiction, yet, she still plans to continue down this path. So, Brand spoke to her, urging Phillips to see herself as more than just a body for consumption but as a soul deeply loved by God.
“In Corinthians, Paul says, ‘Did you not know that your body is a temple?’” Brand says to Phillips.
Brand points out to Phillips that his own past of sexual immorality led him to realize how destructive this was to his life, and that we were created for a life to be lived with our Creator. He spoke words of truth and protection over her, reminding her that her worth is not in money or fleeting pleasure but in the identity given by God.
Phillips, while defending her choices and financial success, was met with Brand’s genuine concern for her spiritual well-being. Their conversation served as a powerful clash between the world’s view of self-worth and the biblical truth that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit.
This conversation is a reminder that so many are lost in the ways of the world because of the money and fame offered. However, our souls are more precious than anything this world could possibly give. The unexpected encounter is a reminder that no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace, and the Gospel can shine even in the darkest places.
Pray for Phillips, and that the words Russell Brand spoke over her would give her life and peace to inch toward committing her life to Christ.
