UPC Minister engaged to former Porn Star

[Dante]

The article speaks for itself. A former porn star has been born again, and is now seeking to follow Christ. Good for her. We all have a past, but better yet, now in Christ we all have a future!

Good for them...

Of course... not many men would be down with the idea of marrying an x-rated movie star.

Even if we leave the whole porn star thing out of this, isn't it a little soon after her conversion for a minister to be proposing marriage to her? Talk about unequally yoked. She's still a babe (no pun intended), I mean a babe in Christ. IMHO it would have been prudent for this minister to allow her some time and space to grow and become stable in her personal walk with Christ before getting into such a serious relationship her.

I wish them well in their future.

So many red flags. But he's 23 and likely isn't thinking with his head.

She owned an adult club for years, it was shut down over violations. In March she was DUI. In June she filmed an x-rated movie.

I understand God can change a person, but sin leaves stains. This young man is a pastor. How can he expect to effectively counsel anyone, especially another couple? At 23 years old, it has to be difficult enough to counsel older saints; put his wife in the mix and it adds to the difficulty.

I'd be finding another church, if I were a member there.

I think it is his dad that is the Pastor, although I might've misread the link.

DiGregorio and Bassette starting dating in August.

She had started going to church at Oswego River of Life, where Bassette's father is the minister. DiGregorio noticed Bassette when he came there to perform some baptisms over the summer. But she didn't think of dating him.

Bassette, 23, was young for her.

Enter Jessica Reynolds, DiGregorio's sister. She's been friends with Bassette for years, he said, and thought the two of them would hit it off. Bassette said she didn't tell the two of them she was setting them up. Instead, she just invited them both to a card game without telling the other.

The chemistry was instant. They started dating immediately. And she started attending his smaller church: Pentecostals of Fulton.

This is a disaster waiting to happen, He is not mature enough to take on the responsibility of raising a 14 year old child. It would be great and wonderful if it is a success story.

Sounds like another UPC success story.
