Thanks brother.
Jamie Thomas is a guy I really like. I am fighting to return to God's ways. And one day I hope to watch this video Portuguese Brazil
Jamie Thomas thank you for sharing your story. I currently ride your Zero Life & Death as well as your Hammerhead silver cross & wings as my homage to Matthew 16:24-KJV 🙏 God Bless you Jamie and Brian AMEN!! 🙏
I remember watching skate videos of Jamie Thomas back in the day. This is so nice to see. Praise the Lord!
Great to hear! God Bless. †
Since birdhouse and adio days you have always been in my heart as one of my favorite inspiring skateboarders
Dude I had the Zero brand single skull original board he was my favorite skater of all time I was just recently looking for the JT801 circa shoes I had in the 8 th garde in size 10 1/2 I wish he would come out with them again no lie I’d buy like 10 pair . I have his skate videos on VHS to this day . Man this awesome ....
@@TeXasDadBod my buddies had that shoe back in the days as well super rad great shoe
alder enoch yeah it had the jelly pad on the heel super comfy shoe for being in the street all day skating .
Wow! Such a good podcast. I love to see christian skaters saved by the blood of Jesus.
Amen!
Phenomenal interview. This is what I needed to hear as a father. I needed to be reminded just how important it is to be present to my kids-nothing could be more consequential.
I totally understand my dad... hes a rollin stone. I miss my mom dearly she passed away while i was pregnant and that woman would do anything for anyone .... i pray im like her eventually
I'm sorry for your loss my darling. You'll see her again one day.
@@adamturner1563 thank you
I'm a few years younger than Jamie Thomas, but I remember watching his part in Toy Machine's "Welcome to Hell" video when I was a teenager. There were many good skaters during that era and the video as a whole is legendary, but his skating in that video was so groundbreaking. It is impossible to describe how much influence it had on so many 90's kids. While the video initially gained notoriety because of all the busts at the end, it was Jamie's segment that was truly mind-blowing at the time.
As someone who went the route of nihilism and degeneracy that was a common ethos of the skater culture of that time, it's pretty amazing to see someone as big as Jamie Thomas coming to Faith. With that said, I have to recommend reading "Nihilism: The Root of the Revolution of the Modern Age" by Fr. Seraphim Rose, "On the Incarnation" by St. Athanasius the Great, and finding Fr. Josiah Trenham on RUclips. Also, find a local Orthodox parish and attend a Vespers and/or Divine Liturgy to find the full Truth, beauty, and divinity of Christ in our midst, as has been the case for the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Orthodox Church for almost 2,000 years! May God grant you many years!
Gentlemen this was such a awesome conversation,I also felt apart of it.this is real talk,truth!!! It's amazing to see two legendary people so on fire for God.pls keep up the good work,I basically grew up with u guys from the 90's,I met Jamie in South Africa in 97, & to see so many legendary skateboarder doing the Almighty's work is what is truely legendary.& to knew the challenges your'll have faced is so relatable, even though on different levels,u guys deserve & worked hard to get to where u are, don't ever forget that,it's amazing to see y'all now pushing other boundaries,skateboarding is a big part of our lives, & can sometimes take precedence over everything else,but when we realise how big God is, we realise how small skateboarding is, but look what great things God is doing thru peeps like you,I always believed God loves Skateboarding,the lessons u learn from it, is life changing,it as also gone thru some dark days & bad influence so it takes guys like you to set the record straight.my kids will definitely watch this & I will definitely share this...the world needs to hear the truth..this as so much impact...God bless you guys...I salute you 💕🙌✝️
God does everything for those who call upon him.
I can do nothing without him.
Amen!
I'm super stoked to hear & know that J.T. & his family are blessed by Father God!!!🔥🙏❤👊😎#TheLORDandOurBoards
Great video! And I'm proudly a scooter rider.
Joey Aria ha yeah brother I was literally going to say your name right then too, as in aside from Joey... hear him say “no”?
Great episode Brian and Jamie! At 36, I love seeing how God's using you both... Been following along since the 411/early days. Jamie's story of finding validation and feeling the need to prove ourselves really struck a chord. Thanks both for being so open and honest.
Amen!
Wow I've found God and excepted jesus christ in my heart about 3 or 4 years ago and finally got sober 2 years ago I didn't know wut to do and I started skating again after 12 years cause I loved it before and I fell in love with it again and after doing some research I find out you are a christian to, I always liked you growing up but Jamie was always my favorite besides penny but I could actually find stuff on Jamie back then it was hard to see Tom but u both have inspired me more to keep sober and to keep my faith thank God u both have to I know jamie did a long time ago but I knew something was up after the fallen shoes came out but love u guys and God bless you Brian and jamie and Tom penny to if anyones seen him lol
Amen!
Thanks for replying brother, this made my night God bless you as well your channel is awesome
Jamie Thomas!?! Another brother kick pushing to the Father!!🙌
Sooooooooo awesome praise God
This right here has sparked a light in me that I haven't felt in long time . I cannot thank both of you enough . I've honestly felt so lost and disconnected from Jesus lately , and it hurts because I had a time were I was so in love with Him. I've never Denied Him, but I've been so self consumed and focused on the world.
Thank God for this moment yall created
P.s :Misled Youth was a game changer for me
Rad
gotta love jamie
God bless Jamie for sharing 🙏🏻.
You both
Our pleasure!
Lucky to be able to, with time, come around to a place that you’re able to have that relationship with your dad. I lost mine 6 years ago. Unfortunately his death came before we had the opportunity to build a better father-son relationship than we’d had when I was a kid. RIP pop😢
Wow yes, I am sure he understood.
Jamie is like no other, inspiring and supportive. Great episode. I met you back in the mid 2000s at a demo with Lance Mountain. You were really nice and gave me a handshake when I said hello. Times have changed but I’m glad skateboarding brings such amazing individuals together 👍🏼🙌🏻
I'm 35. Jamie Thomas is my dude. All through highschool I wore ZERO
I got in trouble because I had the ZERO or Die the blood red one
God bless you guys so much!
👍🏻
one of the best things i ever saw on youtube. never thought id hear jamie talk about life with jesus. Seeing this after 15 years looking up to guys like you two is a real miracle.
Ha great to hear! Amen!
My first legit skateboard was the birdhouse Brian Sumner star cartoon deck, it’s awesome to see these two guys get back to God, 100% inspiration...
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
God bless you bro
The fact I found this page seeing Brian and all the dudes I looked up to growing up coming to faith and picking up the pieces in life means alot to me personally as I had a wild ride back to God thru skating partying and running around
Prayers for you!
Amen!
Good word, Brian, about Jamie “parenting” a lot of younger skaters on tour, etc..-no doubt about the likelihood of that. God bless you.
You too!
Thank you so very much 😊🙏!
Dude I had the Zero brand single skull original board he was my favorite skater of all time I was just recently looking for the JT801 circa shoes I had in the 8 th garde in size 10 1/2 I wish he would come out with them again no lie I’d buy like 10 pair . I have his skate videos on VHS to this day . Man this awesome ....
Amen!!
I want to skate with these Pros in heaven one day!
Jamie has been my favorite skateboarder since I can remember, came across this interview at a time when I needed to hear it. And this was exactly what I needed. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
This spoke to my heart. Thanks for sharing your story with honesty and vulnerability.
God bless you guys. Brothers.
Oh my GOSH! Brian your podcast is so good, been loving the Steven Bancarz episodes but I just saw this one with Jamie Thomas; this totally touches my heart as an amateur skateboarder in the late 90s early 2000s. Thank you both for your hearts.
Great to hear!
best interview/conversation I think I've ever listened too. Jamie, you've always been my favorite skater. Its so encouraging to see you both living the life and having conversations that matter.
Amen!
That was such a blessing. So amazing to see God's work in both of your lives. I'm 46 former skateboarder with bad hips and knees. Jamie your part in Welcome To Hell was what got me back into skateboarding at age 19, after not skating for 5 years. Hearing your story has inspired me to live my life for what counts. Jesus Christ and him alone, and invest in family. God bless you both.
Ha glad it encouraged you. † God Bless you too.
amen Jamie
Thanks Brian and Jamie! This conversation was timely and real. Thanks for sharing! Keep it up!
Amen
Yo John !

I know its the blinds, but it looks like he’s being interviewed on the moon.
I'm sad you didn't do the regular intro for this video. It's something I look forward to with each episode.
Brian Sumner yessss been wondering where and what you have been up to havnt seen you in many years glad your around and have a podcast much love from pacific northwest enoch!!!

@@briansumner6801 you have been a huge inspiration for me in Skateboarding since I was young and since your birdhouse and adio one step beyond video part , I watched your part religiously lol love you brother of earth! Today is a blessed day found out late last night my good brother and skateboarding legend Steve Olson from shortys og team called me last night and gave me great news that he is now a father to a sweetheartnewborn baby girl!

Amazing interview...Just found out about your podcast from Jamie on iG, im looking forward to seeing what else ya got! Thanks Brian, you were always one of my favorite skaters and now i see you're probably gonna be one of my favorite podcasts. Cheers brotha!
Ha great to hear. †
Dudes this has seriously helped me so much with some things I’m going through currently. Thanks. Mad respect. N to think I just tuned in to see if y’all talk about skating and specifically, the leap of faith. Thanks again fellas 🤙🏽
Ha rad!
Most important thing is Jesus n that he paid the sin debt that we owe. Its a Gift in the form of the God-Man: Jesus!
1:02:20 - yes, so good
Dope episode!
Amen!
When I see the brand Fallen it reminds me that without Christ I am a fallen-sinner
Amen yes!
subscribed and loved
I find it so interesting when I look at how much work and effort Jamie put into the Black Boy thing with Zero and rest of the companies and then you compare it to something like Baker where Andrew did care but not that much and in 2021 Baker is doing much better. Kids will always like the brand that care a little less. Even to this day it seems like Andrew makes things so simple for himself. Hang out with my dather,eat healthy,work out a little bit but most importantly skate. Skate in the streets and stay connected to what you really love. By simply doing that,that's why he's on Vans these days
I remember Jamie riding for Invisible skateboards and i remember Brian on 411 ,can you please interview other pro or ex pro Christian pro skaters like Salman Agah,Ray Barbee,Sean Mandoly,Matt Beach, Sierra Fellers,Weston Correa,Dan Pageau.
That episode is plain beautiful. What an interesting storyline and more importantly what a substantial message: Jesus loves you and cant wait to be part of your life. I am so happy for Jamie to get where he is now. What i also liked: Jamie confessing that zero is not a christian company. I've been wondering since 2000 how that company can be run by a christian, also i loked the brand, it always seemed to be kind of grim/dark to me...
Amen!
Thank you for sharing this with us. God's goodness does lead us to repentance (Romans 2:4) by the power and grace He has called us out of darkness and into His marvelous light (1Peter 2:9-10). For those that are struggling, for those that are tired of fighting, for those that are hopeless, and for those that feel you have gone too far or feel that God won't accept you, I tell you the truth, God Loves you. Jeremiah 31:3 says, "The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee." He demonstrated His love toward us by giving us His Only Begotten Son, to die for our sins. He payed the price for our iniquity. The debt has been paid. Hallelujah! Only through Christ may we have the forgiveness of sins, for He is the way, the truth, and the life, and the only way that we can have reconciliation with God (John 14:6). Christ promises this, "all that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out" (John 6:37). I appeal to anyone who is reading this, to pray and ask God to reveal Himself to you, to ask Him to forgive you of your sins, and ask God to lead you according to His purpose, and to change you into the person He wills for you to be, and I promise you that if you ask in Jesus name, your life will never be the same again. Praise be to God and unto the Lamb who taketh away the sin of the world.
Promises of God:
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find REST unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
- Matthew 11:28-30
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
-John 3:16
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
-1 John 1:9
"My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous."
-1 John 2:1
"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? He retaineth not His anger for ever, because He delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, He will have compassion upon us: He will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea."
-Micah 7:18-19
"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
-John 8:32
"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who have Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time."
1 Timothy 2:3-6
Amen!
The fookn chief killing it 🙏🏻
oh man Conor, lol... lets get out of retirement soon. Khabib, Gaetje, Tony and even Jorge.
Wow awesome. I had no idea jamie was a Christian. I always associated him with upside down crosses and satanism. Praise God. I got a lot out of this podcast. Skateboarding is cool but loving and serving our family and others is so much more important.
Amen!
What an interesting moment
We three were connected by the same love back in the day skateboarding
Now 20 years later we are connected again by religion but a different religion you guys are christian i am muslim
As we say everything in christianity that is right is right but humans and the devil are to blame for everything wrong and you see that everywhere christianity is so split up its mindboggling your religion essentially broke up in to three major parts and a bunch of smaller ones the three largest confessions dont get along at all not to mention individuals that do whatever they want yet call themselves priests and are fully supported by their side
This was a good listen, Im just wondering how much Jamie owns of Zero and how much influence he has over the brand. Theres decks with tarot card imagery on, surely thats not wise.
Yes he has said he wrestled with allowing riders to live their own careers out where he viewed his role as being the best example he can to them.
@@briansumner6801 Fair enough, Its tough but as long as he's following his convictions
Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour
Amen!
So is he is a Christian Right ?
Yes
Yooo god bless.
Have you boys heard about the earth is flat ?
Jesus is king
I’m open to it.
JTs BREAKOUT PART WAS WELCOME TO HELL... I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS A FUNNY FACT ALL THINGS CONSIDERED
Yes for sure
Am I bad because I don't belive in god? And what's wrong with me if I don't?
Hey man, we’re all bad. But God is merciful and He loves us through all our nonsense. Sometimes we try so hard to intellectually believe when we should just allow our hearts to be softened to the gospel. Keep pressing in, brother. You’re not alone.
@@Lightylight thank you for your kind words brother
Only God is good
I'm a believer in Christ and I'm still a wretched human. The only light and good I have is through Christ.
Perfection is what we have to look forward too, but here in this earthly flesh realm, we all fall short
We are born into a world, in opposition of Him. We are in a fallen state. We know this because every day we are closer towards death. But God spoke into our world, and demonstrated things over time proving Who He is and sharing with us His plan. We can hear that and believe, or reject. Hopefully you believe. God Bless you. †
