Brian Sumner is an evangelist, pastor and speaker who came to faith in 2004 at the height of his professional skateboard career. Born in Liverpool England, at age 15 Brian transplanted to America to become part of Tony Hawk’s Birdhouse Skateboards, building a successful decade plus long career riding for some of the biggest skate companies in the world. In 1999 Brian was married and soon he and his wife Tracy were expecting their first child. Within just a few years of marriage, without either of them having faith, they were soon fighting, struggling, and divorced. This left Brian feeling angry, depressed and even suicidal. But, after a year of separation, God awakened his heart and he experienced God’s forgiveness and love. His ex-wife Tracy came to faith within three weeks having her own God encounter, and they were re-married soon after going on to have two more children. Brian began speaking at youth events, churches, outreaches, festivals, recovery centers, schools, mission trips and men’s conferences as well as sharing his story on media platforms like I Am Second, Billy Graham’s My Hope and CBN, among others. In 2015 Brian published his first book, “Never Fails”. Brian also sits on the board of various ministries including D2L where he helps produce film projects like the “Hardflip” movie, the SkateBible movie and “Foolishness” which Brian co-produced, wrote and directed. It won the I.C.V.M Crown Award for “best Evangelistic film of 2013″. He began a podcast, Foolishness, in 2019.
