Today we’d like to introduce you to Tiffany Brearton.
Hi Tiffany , so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I grew up like a lot of girls who were trying to find love, safety, and a place to belong. Parts of my story include childhood sexual abuse, years in the adult entertainment industry, and later discovering that what I once called choice actually fit the definition of trafficking. For a long time I believed my past disqualified me from anything good, but Jesus met me right in the middle of my mess.
My journey has been one of slow, real healing, learning how to forgive, how to surrender control, and how to let God rewrite my identity. What began as a broken story has become a calling to help other women know they are not too far gone and that healing is possible. I am now the co-founder of She Was Made for More Ministry, where we walk alongside women who have experienced trauma, exploitation, and shame.
I am also a wife and a mom, and those roles have been a huge part of God teaching me grace, patience, and what real restoration looks like in everyday life. My memoir, From Stilettos to Grace, shares the fuller journey of how God brought me from silence to freedom, and my book study, From a Mess to His Message, invites women into practical, Christ-centered healing. I am still walking this out in real time, but I have learned that God loves to turn what the enemy meant for harm into a message of hope.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It has definitely not been a smooth road. Healing is not a straight line, and I have learned that growth often happens in layers. Some of the biggest struggles have been learning to trust again, learning to forgive, and learning how to see myself the way God sees me instead of through the lens of my past.
There were seasons when shame was louder than truth and seasons when I wanted to hide instead of speak. Stepping out of the adult entertainment industry came with its own battles, rebuilding identity, relationships, and self-worth. Even in ministry, I have wrestled with feeling unqualified and wondering if my story was too messy to be used for good.
More recently, I walked through the emotional challenge of realizing that parts of my story fit the definition of trafficking, something I did not understand before. That brought new questions, grief, and healing I did not expect, but it also brought deeper freedom. I am learning that struggle does not mean failure. It often means God is doing something real beneath the surface.
Through it all, I have seen that Jesus is patient with the process. The road has been hard, but it has also been holy, and every step has shaped the message I carry today.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
My work is deeply focused on advocacy and awareness around human trafficking and mobilizing the Church to respond with compassion, wisdom, and action. I believe God has called me to be a voice to and for the voiceless, especially for women whose stories have been misunderstood, ignored, or dismissed. After speaking at an event last March, everything shifted for me. That moment set the tone for what I believe God is asking me to do across the United States, to help people understand that trafficking is not just something that happens somewhere else. It is happening in our communities, often in ways we have learned to call normal.
I speak about the reality that there are many forms of human trafficking that are legal in America. Trafficking does not always look like the Hollywood version of someone locked in a room in handcuffs. While that horrific picture is real, there are also subtle systems of exploitation that hide behind choice, money, and culture. My heart is to help the Church see with clearer eyes so we can stop looking away and start stepping in.
Through speaking, events, and partnerships with pastors and community leaders, I work to build bridges between survivors, ministries, and everyday believers who want to help but do not know where to begin. I help plan and host gatherings where awareness meets action, where people can learn, pray, and be equipped to care for those walking out of trauma and exploitation.
I am also the author of the memoir From Stilettos to Grace and the book study From a Mess to His Message. My greatest hope through my newest study is that women will invite God into their healing journey and discover that freedom is possible no matter how complicated their story feels. I am most proud when I see the Church begin to move from silence to courage and when one more woman realizes she was made for more.
What sets me apart is that I speak as both an advocate and someone who has lived these realities. I care about awareness, but even more about mobilization, helping the body of Christ become a safe place where truth is told, darkness is brought to light, and real restoration can begin.
What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
The most important lesson I have learned is that you are never too far gone for God. For years I sat in churches and felt out of place and ashamed because what was being presented felt too perfect and too far out of reach for someone like me. I believed healing was for other people, the ones with cleaner stories and better beginnings.
I have learned that God meets us in the real places, not the polished ones. He is not afraid of our past, our questions, or our mess. That is why I believe it is so important for real voices to rise up and share honestly, not just for our own freedom but because someone else is waiting to hear that they are not too far gone either. When one person tells the truth, it gives others permission to believe that healing is possible for them too.
God is still bringing healing to all who want it. I have seen Him take broken pieces and turn them into something beautiful, and that has changed everything about the way I live and the way I love others.
