From Protestant Surfer to Catholic Priest: A Powerful Conversion Story

- The conversion story of the now Father Brian Jackson is really one of a kind. God had to show him his hellish situation and show him how far he was falling from the Glory of God to bring him into the Catholic faith and Priestly ministry.
Fr. Brian, it's Alex Walker. Your friend from the bus (that you used to party with in high school.) You better believe I raised my hand when you asked. As I've always told you, I only wish I would have got off the bus with you when you got kicked off.
I pray for your father and your family.
Wow...I was riveted throughout. Thank you for sharing. this. I am Anglican but I feel like something is calling me to learn more about the Catholic faith.
Come home! 🙏😊
I was raised Anglican and became Catholic at 21
I’m now 57 and still on fire for Jesus in the Eucharist, check out Scott Hahn, Keith Nester and Steve Ray
@@mikebuckley46 Thanks for the recommendations Mike. I'll definitely look into them.
Check out Father Don Calloway. His story is insane like if it’s straight from a movie
@@carmenburgos1616 are any of these catholic brethren clergy or lay people?
God bless you Fathers. The Irish first brought the Catholic faith to America - now it seems the Americans are repaying the favour. There is hope yet for Ireland! Prayers and greetings from Melbourne, Australia.
🙏🙏🙏
_'The Irish first brought the Catholic faith to America...'_ actually it was the evil jesuits. look up 'Rome, Maryland' - you'll see that they were established here way before Columbus or anyone who 'discovered' this place. and thankfully this country is supposed protestant - though catholicism hates our Constitution and Declaration of Independence - most are oblivious to their demonic aims in this world.
Revelation 13 - _'And all the world wondered after the beast.'_
Beautiful Story,very inspiring,God BlesS 🙏
Lol, the Spanish Padres brought the whole of Catholicism to the New World. They were commissioned to defeat Quetzalcoatl, the winged serpent, and they did 🌹🙏
Another Lucy here, I often use lucyld64, I did a double take when I saw your moniker, I thought wait a minute did I already watch this and comment and forget about it?😂
Many souls go to hell because they have no one to pray for them. Someone was praying for you, Father!❤️🙏
more go because they are catholic and don't follow Truth.
there is no place as hell - hell refers to annihilation - the fire goes out once the wicked are consumed by the fire...hell is from the word Gehenna which referred to the garbage dump in Jerusalem - so either the fire in the dump or the maggots there ate the carcasses of the dead animals and the were fully consumed - Protestantism has the truth
Is that in the Bible? If no one prays for you, you go to hell? Truly curious because then I will ask people to pray for me. I never did that.
These are words from the Mother of God. She also said people are falling into hell like snowflakes.
@@Jedi_Are_Scum THAT IS NOT TRUE..NOT IN BIBLE
What an incredible interview and story. I'm 71 and been married for nearly 52 years, but always wished I had been a priest. I loved every minute of this video. God Bless you both.
When I read the title, I thought this was going to be about Fr. Donald Calloway MIC! It is nice to know that you made it beyond your circumstances as well. Congratulations Fr. Jackson 🙏♥️ May God continuously bless you.
Wouldn’t you like to see father Brian Jackson and father Donald Calloway on the show at the same time? Father Donald Callaway is hilarious
Thanks Thanks for being a PRIEST YOU WILL BE AWESOME
God bless you both holy priests. You know we need you.
neither of them are following Jesus Christ - see John 14:15 and reconcile with Exodus 20:8-11 for proof.
catholicism is paganism, not Christianity.
@@tony1685 bible is catholic book. Catholic church gathered them into its existence. Why do you believe in the bible if you think Catholicism is what you call? Blasphemy against holy spirit will not be forgiven.
@@purewater77887 hi Pure! i don't totally agree with your post, friend - here is why:
_'bible is catholic book.'_ - *Incorrect* - my Bible was written by Jews - save Nebuchadnezzar and Luke.
my Bible was written to Jews - until Gentiles were grafted into the plan of salvation.
_'Catholic church gathered them into existence.'_ - *Incorrect* - as It was assembled by Mark, John, Matthew and Luke - and this was hundreds of years *Before* the catholic system was created.
_'Why do you believe in the bible if you think Catholicism is what you call?'_ - *False Comparison Logical Fallacy* - as catholicism isn't Christianity and the Bible is what highlights the many differences. if you'd have addressed my previous post to you, you'd see this proven.
_'Blasphemy against the (H)old (S)pirit will not be forgiven.'_ - then quit calling the 'pope' devils 'Holy Father' - see Matt 23:9 - this is blasphemous.
now please address what i wrote, so we can actually discuss what's proven in the Word of God.
thanks in advance, friend.
i pray His will for you and yours.
@@tony1685 ok, most self-righteous baby sda christian
@@essafats5728 have already prove that you don't know God, love Christ nor walk in Truth, Sir.
you should log off, pray to the Author and study His Word - since you're not really comprehending It as of now.
*Happy Sabbath!!!*
i pray all who know God, love Christ and walk in Truth enjoy church in the morning, on the Lords day!
Jesus, segne, beschütze, heile und heilige unsere Priester - ich danke Dir für unsere Priester 🙏 Amen
Father Jesus loves you so much your story will bring many souls to Jesus
Thank you Father Brian for sharing your testimony. God bless you and your ministry. God is good. Praise God.
God called you and you obeyed! Many are called and you are chosen! Pls pray for d repose of my son, Ceferino's soul. He's born in Sep 27 1985, died at age 29. Godbless Mom.
Thank you Father Brian for your ordination bringing to the fore God's unique and indiscriminate call to radical love.
Father Brian, God bless you. You are going to be a great priest.
I appreciate the honesty in this conversation. We can all be lost at times in our lives and the beauty of life is we are loved enough by our creator to find our way back and you have done so in such a powerful way. I🙏💗
Great Holy priests! Both of them. Thank you
Beautiful testimony, thank you Father! I can’t tell you how refreshing it is for me to hear you say that you love hearing confessions!! I don’t know of any priest that loves hearing confessions. That’s super wonderful, thank you for sharing, it’s very encouraging.
Wow ,what a powerful testimony. God bless you .Fathers. God works in mysterious ways. Praise God and thank our Blessed Mother .❤🙏💙🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👏👏👏
Your conversion story is very similar to that of Fr. Donald Calloway. What a beautiful story is yours. Your Father became catholic because of you. Praise the Lord who lifts up the lowely and place them with the princes of His people.
Thank you for sharing your story Father. ❤🌺🌹
God bless you Fr. Brian we are blessed having such a wounderful priest . ❤️🙏✝️
Wonderful conversation Fathers. Thank you.
The silent and precise work of our Lord inside the souls is extraordinary. The world need more men like you. May the Lord bless you both abundantly.
God bless us all 🙏🙏🙏 Fr. Brian, You have chosen the WAY of our Lord Jesus Christ! God bless us 💕💕💕 more!

Lovely story Father. God bless you.
thank you Father Brian for your testimony..I agree with you the Eucharist is something grandious that every Catholic should not take for grantet,,, God bless..
Thank you, Fr. Brian, for giving your powerful testimony. That is Awesome about your father coming into the Church. God bless you.
Amazing story! God bless all the priests, young and old.
Fantastic interview! Thank you Fathers, for sharing your journey to the priesthood. You give us renewed faith that there are young holy priests to see us into this millennium.❤️
Beautiful - there is always hope. If I had my life over, I would definitely choose religious life. Keep up the good work brother . From South Africa
Thanks be to God.
This is a very beautiful conversion story. Thank you for sharing. God bless you Fr.
God Bless you Fathers.
Incredible. WHat a testimonial! Wakening faith here in Brazil.
Blessings on your Holy Ministry ahead! Please pray for the Conversion on all the youth who have left their Catholic Faith and fallen into secularism...my two kids included (ages 23, 26)...Praise Be to Jesus Christ our LORD!!!!
Wow... God's Grace is so beautiful ❤️
Praise God! So happy he rescued you from your debauchery to the priesthood.
actually, God didn't bring him into this counterfeit 'church', Satan did.
@@tony1685 why are you watching this channel? I am praying the veil is lifted from your mind so you can see the a Truth in Jesus Christ and how Much He loves you. Don’t reject the purest love and mercy given freely to you. God love you
@@kragar4 question: does God's church know God, love Christ and walk in Truth - or do they not?
it's a Bible question, Ma'am.
@@tony1685 ABSOLUTELY YES
@@kragar4 i agree!
now read 1 John 2:3, John 14:15 and 1 John 2:4 - these show that in order to do these, one keeps His Ten Commandments.
making sense?
well now read Exodus 20:4-6 and Exodus 20:8-11.
these prove clearly that catholicism isn't Christianity, Ma'am.
the Holy day was yesterday, the 7th day Sabbath - it's not today, sunday has never been sanctified, blessed, made Holy nor ever will be.
former (35 yr) catholic now Christian and Bible teacher.
thanks for reading, Ma'am.
Praise God!!!

There is nothing impossible to Our God Almighty. God bless you Father Brian.
God never gives up on us. He makes our sins white as snow. He is magnificent, precious, and His love is priceless. God is love. Amen
Hello from Jacksonville Beach! And my Father was Irish. I love your conversion. Very powerful. Thank you both for this. I felt peace in rehab. I’m still on my journey. I hadn’t gone back to Mass at that point. I promised my Dad on his deathbed I’d go back. I like to think I’m unwavering and I want everyone to know Jesus the way I’ve been learning to know Him.
The Protestant denominations have more to offer you than the RCC...we do not confess our sins t men but God only and the Sabbath day is not Sunday...and Mary is not to be prayed too or any other supposed saint
@@DavidKing-qd3sp When hearing our confession, the priest is a stand-in for God. Jesus Christ grants the apostles the power to forgive sins by breathing on them in John 20:22-23. The priests in the apostolic churches (Catholic and Orthodox) also have this authority. Confession, or the sacrament of reconciliation, as it is formally called, allows us to receive the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus in the proper state, as the apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 11:27-29. The Sabbath is done away with and Sunday became the holy day of obligation because Christ rose from the dead on Sunday, making it the Lord's day. See 2 Colossians 16. As for prayer to Mary and the saints, it is no different than asking a friend to pray for you. The saints are our friends, and since they are in Heaven, they are more alive than you or I. "The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective"
Praying for your perseverance Rita. I know that God is proud of you.
@@sajansuganth8967 ..........I appreciate your sincerity but you are completely wrong - I was raised a RC and became Protestant at age 22 . So, let me address your points . 1. God does not need a priest to be a stand in - as we live by faith not sight. The bible teaches us to confess to our Advocate Jesus Christ..1st Jon 1.9 and 2.1..Priests have no authority to forgive sins or help in the process - "You have been lied too." Read Mark 2.7 and John 10.33 only God can forgive sins...2. There are no humans in heaven except for the special resurrection of Mt.27.52 and Enoch and Elijah and Moses who was resurrected after his death see Jude 9., and Mary was not one of them because she was still alive at that time --- 3. I can give you RC teachings that say the RCC church changed the Sabbath to Sunday But there is no scriptural support for the change - so you know tradition and not your bible .read ...Catholicism and Fundamentalism page 38 it says it there clearly - which is a book by Karl Keathing from the Ignaitius press....don't waiste your life living a celibate / impoverish life....Rome is built on paganism according to Protestant literature.....and I will close with your words - the words of a righteous man availeth much but he also must be intelligent and free from tradition read mt. 15. 8-9....you are in the world's biggest and most sophisticated cult...so study as Luther did and leave...
@@DavidKing-qd3sp God doesn’t need a priest to forgive sins. That’s just the way he chose to set it up because He understands our nature and our need for accountability. In fact, the Catechism teaches us that where confession is unavailable, we should confess our sins to God. God is not bound by his own sacraments. Furthermore, all who die in Christ are alive in Heaven. “I am the resurrection; he who believes in me will live even if he dies and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26. Furthermore, Colossians 2:16 is clear on the Sabbath being a shadow. Karl Keating says in his book: “It was the Catholic Church that decided Sunday should be the day of worship for Christians, in honour of the Resurrection” The reason for making Sunday the day of worship is clearly given-in honour of the Resurrection. Furthermore, our Lord Jesus Christ lived a life of celibacy and poverty; those who take vows of celibacy and poverty are living a life closer to that of Christ, which is admirable and praiseworthy. As for Martin Luther, I hold him in very low regard; a man who broke his vows before God and fractured the unity of Christendom in the West, resulting in hundreds upon hundreds of schisms and heresies. May God have mercy on his soul. I pray for your return to the one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, founded by Jesus Christ Himself and not by men, and I urge you to continue your study.
CZcams just recommended I watch this.. What a glorious calling to the priesthood. Although I started it at midnight, I watched the whole interview because Father Bryan's story was so compelling- love Peter Kreft's books. But the best came at the end when I learned that he was the artistic director of one of my favorite documentaries. Father Bryan, the fire of the Holy Spirit lives deep within you, keep radically spreading the good news! God Bless you.
r u RC
Me too, started at 2am, its now 3:11...absolutely astounding life...God thank you for your children in this video, & thank you for your "yes" & your prayers dear Fathers🙏😇❤

Thanks!
God bless you Fathers thank you for this witness on your journey with the faith
There’s something about Catholic priests who converted from a completely different kind of life. It’s almost like you can see the humility just by looking at them.
A wonderful testimony about Gods love always reaching out to each of us all the time🙏
Your order Home of the Mother are just wonderful inspirational Priests and Nuns🙏
What a great blessing to Ireland🙏🇨🇮
This was a great interview and a great conversion story.
God Bless you, guide you and protect you both!!! †††
God 🔥✝️🔥bless🌺 Fr. Brian Jackson, Amen 🙏❤🔥✝️🔥❤🙏
Isn’t our God great? Love your journey Fr. Jackson.
God bless you both! Thank you for saying yes to God and for blessing me with this interview/testimony. I was totally taken in with your journey.
Just came across this amazing interview, all the different aspects in Fr John as a young teenager and young adult. Have asked my teenage girls to also listen to this excellent testimonial which shows how media can be used positively in touching the hearts of people. Well done, Fr John. All the best in your ministry and keep us in your prayers.
Welcome to Catholicism 🇻🇦🙏✝️
So down to earth so real, your emotion and love reaches those who listen to you, preaching on the busses indeed! And wonderful about falling to your knees to receive the Eucharist on the tongue. The world seems so dismal but the Holy Ghost is moving to produce more and more heroes to spread the Word, joy, hope You are among them, Father. Blessings.
Wowwwww thank you lord for blessing this priests I fill joy🙏🏾🙏🏾🕯🕯🔥🔥🔥💒💒💒💒
Presbyterian is not the equivalent of Anglican. And there’s Presbyterians in Ireland and England and Scotland.
Hawthorne, yes. Presbyterians were Scotland Calvinists. Anglicans are English and retained liturgical rites but rebelled with Henry VII.
Episcopalian is the American equivalent of Anglican.
Oh Father, bless your heart for keeping your joy in your heart ,trying to evangelize on those buses……great story….beautiful finish….
🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS IN JESUS NAME AMEN 🙏
Thank you for your testimony Father . I pray that this is influential to many young men growing into adulthood. 💕💕🙏🙏
I’d like to see father Brian Jackson and father Donald Calloway on father’s Luke show. It would be so interesting to listen to. Father Luke! Please get them on your show
He looks so much like Fr. Don Calloway when he was younger too!
God bless you dear Priest. Glad you became one. Can you please pray for me and my mum to breathe. We have bad respiratory problems. IT makes life hell to do anything around the house or just to walk. Please pray for our healing In Jesus' Name.
We are not baptized into a denomination, Presbyterian, Methodist, etc., we are baptized into the Church Universal. " I believe in one baptism for the forgiveness of sins." What we do after that determines our denomination.
HI! FATHER BRIAN YOU ARE VERY GREAT 👍 ❤
Hope every Diocese offers Catholic Charismatic Eucharistic Life in the Spirit Seminars Baptism in the Holy Spirit for Boys, Teens, Seminarians Clergy & Retreats for Vocations called to Priesthood/Deacons🇺🇸UNITED ✝️🇻🇦
God Bless Fr. Brian !!!
Amazing conversion story. Seek out father Donald Calloway conversion story too. Another amazing story
Hello Fathers, got interested in the life story of Fr. Brian.
My family is Catholic, we prayed the rosary every night as a family and all my siblings and I were brought up Catholic.
However, when I came to the USA, I found out that my 2 sisters and a brother converted to the Born Again Christians.
My brother next to me and I are still Catholic, up until now and said da? in our aghast.
But funny, my mom always lectured, getting married to the best guy doesn't happen by happenstance, you have to pray for it!
To make my story short, I married in my late 30's and to a USNAVY who was Presbyterian. But you know what, he's the best the Lord gave me, no vice, never lifted a finger on me. We had a Catholic wedding, he went to the choir loft with me as I belonged to the choir, he went to pilgrimages with me and received his last rites before he passed.
Everyday I don't forget to thank God for giving him to me as my lifetime partner.
God bless you both and more power to your vlog!
Fr Brian Jackson is hardly the only priest that went through sins of the world before waking up to the truth of the Catholic Church. He would be very understanding of those who come to him for the sacrament of reconciliation.
Wow, I did the same thing with my daughter as far as "Santa Clause." She knew from the start that Santa isn't real and that Christmas is all about the birth of Jesus.
See you in adoration
How is it that after this wonderful conversion story, you didn't include how he came to his priestly vocation?! How disappointing! You stopped at his time in University, and didn't explain anything after that. Hope to hear the rest of the story.
Please try to improve your sound capacity Father.
St. Nikolaus exists)
Fr.please be near to the Mike.on line the sound doesn't come loud enough.sound incharge please make the volume high,thanks
Are you a diocesan priest Fr.?
Father I love you and your videos and this wonderful new priest is a gift to the church so inspiring story but father I just have something that you said during COVID restrictions about receiving our Lord in the hand and it was okay no father it is not right it is a sacrilege during COVID I was at mass and witnessed a man receiving our Lord in the hand and saw with my own eyes the host fly out of his hand and I must mention the priest that said mass that day was a priest I had a discussion with about receiving on the tongue he was not very loving or nice to me I prayed for him nevertheless God bless.
We commit more sins with our mouth than we do with our hands!
@@ruthwalter1539 did you know that roman catholicism teaches that it's ok to live in sin?
yep - the Bible proves it clearly.
@@tony1685 ???? The Catholic Church does NOT teach you can live in sin.
@@marcihf217 sin = transgression of God's law - 1 John 3:4
Exodus 20:8-11 is part of God's law.
catholicism not only breaks It (the Holy Sabbath) weekly, it encourages all to trample upon the Holy day and pretend another day (sun worship day) is now Holy - though Scripture is not at all supportive of this.
catholicism *DOES TEACH* that it's ok to live in sin.
It is acceptable to receive on the hand per the Magisterium. One is not better than another.
Is there an emphasis on heart conversion in the Catholic Church? I have seen in non Catholic Churches where a person can go through all the motions but no real conversion. We used to say you go into baptism a dry sinner and come up a
wet sinner.
Jesus was born in the spring :)
Satan was the first protestant
😅True.

It would have been more enjoyable if the he was able to tell his story without too many interruptions
Does Fr. Brian know Fr. Donald? 😆
There are different levels in heaven?
@PheonixAZ *Doctrines come from "what Scriptures say". Not from your fallible opinions. So where in the Bible says Mary was sinless or free from Original Sin?*
you said
So a perfect, infinite, sinless God who absolutely, viscerally hates sin would have been born of a sinful woman? Why do you put a limit on what God can and cannot do? Where's your sense of wonder? If Jesus was able to raise Lazarus as his body was starting to decompose, couldn't he spare the mother of Christ from the stain of original sin at her conception (immaculate conception)? Because Christ did not specify the details of his mother's conception, it de facto means the dogma of the immaculate conception is based on a falsehood?
Is that drivers who doesn't want to hear you preaching about Jesus Christ are they vampires and werewolves ?Fr.?lol!😅😂
Why you sound like a son of our priest and America like Father Donald calloway I don't know if you heard of him but he's a very he's a very holy priest to be in trouble all the time as a kid and he was a surfer too he loves surfing anyway I hope you are going to be one of our great Catholic priest. But before you go with get happy about about Scott Hahn I have some reservations against that guy he's supposed to be a really good Catholic but he's trying to push people like a bishop name a bishop what's his name he's in my state I'm in California the worst that you could be in all we have is modernist here and these were the people that were involved in taking out the crucifixes in a church yeah this bishop I happen to know that he I don't think he is a very good Bishop he seem to be a pro homosexual and we don't like that here and when we look at a real Catholic we can't even go to a real Catholic Church although we have one close and I think that God wants us to do the best that we can you know anyway I don't know why we got stuck with a lot of these guys and Bishop Barron is not was not a good priest and right away Scott Han says I've known him for years he's known him for years she should know he is leaning heavily to the left and he doesn't what we call the left and he doesn't seem to regret it I'm sorry but this is just my opinion I wish people would look into these things more because we're suffering greatly because of the people in California that are quote nut cakes quote Catholic spare Catholics that their Catholics here that think they're God they're a Catholics like Nancy pelosi they never got in they would never voted in they were just cheated they use software from President Obama who who never even was an American I'm telling you this is a long story so I can't say it all but I want to see a priest that but seems like a holy holy priest to me don't call him the wrong road I will pray for you God bless you
This interview sucks in all ways. The host keeps on interrupting and the priest doesn’t reflect any certainty about his story
