In 2004, after finding himself divorced and doing community service, Brian encountered Jesus Christ and his life changed dramatically. He remarried the woman he was once divorced from, had two more children, and his life changed direction, as he began to use his skating platform to point people to Jesus Christ.
Today Brian travels the world preaching and teaching at churches, conferences, festivals, and sharing The Gospel at outreaches.

John Piper commented that, "Brian Sumner’s skate-studded DVD, “Foolishness,” is the fullest 60-minute Gospel word I’ve heard.”
