Nala Ray. Few people are as controversial within the conservative movement as her, because there's a massive split in how people see her.
If you've never heard of her before, or haven't seen my previous articles on her, Nala Ray is something of a Christ-centered success story. When the public first met her, Ray was an OnlyFans mattress actress who displayed depraved behaviors on the "Whatever" podcast. She made the "ahegao" face as she talked about how much she loved to be dominated and cheat while making porn sounds from time to time. She was so intense that she made the other OnlyFans models next to her look tame by comparison.
If you want to watch her arrival into the public scene on the podcast, you can look it up yourself, I won't be posting it here. It's uncomfortable.
However, after a time, Nala Ray suddenly renounced her previous life and began posting herself attending church and being baptized. Her feeds were soon full of her testimony of leaving behind her life of pornography, her walk with Christ, and even finding real, meaningful love in a man who is now her husband. She appeared on various shows, including a very eye-opening interview with Michael Knowles where she detailed her journey.
Today, Nala is still sharing the gospel and telling her story, but not everyone is celebrating her.
It was recently announced that the upcoming TPUSA Women's Leadership Summit would feature Ray as a speaker, causing something of an uproar among the Christian conservative community.
If @TPUSA shouldn’t platform a former pornstar, then they shouldn’t platform me either.

Nala’s story is one of repentance and redemption. So is mine. That’s the point.

The bottom line here is that many Christians and conservatives either don't trust Ray, or they think she'd be a gateway to girls selling their bodies on OnlyFans.
To be clear, Ray's transition from porn to evangelizing was fast. In fact, it happened so fast that many people were wholly unwilling to accept it was real. They accused her of grifting, taking advantage of Christians to further her career.
To be clear, Ray was making around $300,000 a month on her OnlyFans, so if she was looking to improve her career, I don't think it would have been stopping degrading herself. Many people demanded to prove her conversion by getting rid of the money she made from OF, but as I said in an article defending her, that she doesn't have to prove her faith to anyone but Christ.

The latter group of people who think Ray is a bad role model because she could send the message that you can sell your body then just recant and be a Christian after. No harm, no foul.
That's not Ray's message, but many are missing the point.
A woman who made a lot of money, then after realizing the depth of depravity she was living in and calling out to Christ, He took her out, brought her into the light, should not share her first-hand experience with other women? She shouldn't make it clear that her life was miserable, and the money didn't make it any better? This woman shouldn't be put in front of other women, especially younger women, to tell them her story and warn them away from that lifestyle with her personal testimony?
Make that make sense.
The argument is that her success on the OF platform will still lead some girls to try it out for the money. Let me be the first to tell you that you don't need Nala Ray to tempt women into that kind of lifestyle. Young women's hearts and minds are constantly assaulted with claims that these platforms offer independence and empowerment.
Wouldn't it be nice to have someone who lived that life be there to tell anyone who might have these temptations that this is a horrible idea with awful outcomes?
Nala Ray is a gift to modern girls in an age where modernity is constantly banging down their door and demanding they give up their dignity and wisdom to fit in.
But we're supposed to reject her and cast her out on the off-chance that she's grifting? Are we being serious right now?
Let me repeat myself by quoting an article I wrote back in April of 2024:
Let's lay out the possibilities here.
If she's telling the truth, then you acted as a roadblock in her journey with Christ and away from a destructive, disgusting life that brought her nothing but loneliness and despair. You did your part in warding her away from salvation with your disbelief, not just in her, but in the healing and safety she could find in the community that gathers around Him.
Moreover, what message does that send about Christ to her and people like her? If Christians are that nasty, then how does that reflect well on Him?
But let's say she is lying. Her being false costs you a grand total of...nothing. At most, she comes out as a major grifter and you suffer a bout of disappointment and spend some time on a prayer for her. What a tragic loss for you that would be.

Too many conservative Christians have it in their mind that they can gate keep morality, so much so that you can divorce her from Christ solely by utilizing the court of public opinion. This, despite her giving no indication that she's dishonest, and continues to share the love of Christ at every turn.
God can turn Saul into Paul, but not Nala Ray from her ways?
Put the stone down. You have no right to cast it.
