Before releasing his biographical film “Big George Foreman,” heavyweight boxer-turned-pastor George Foreman spoke to the Christian Post and reflected on how his faith in God and help from God has affected him throughout his storied life and shared his faith-filled wisdom with the next generation of Christians.
Speaking on that point and how he realized his calling was to preach God’s word, Foreman said, “You come to a point in your life and you realize the only important thing in your life is [to be] an evangelist.”
Continuing, he spoke about evangelism and why it is important to him, saying, “‘Evangelistic’ is the word that has been so powerful to me in my life. If something happened to me tomorrow … I know I’ve done a good job, and I’m happy about that, trying to spell out to the world, ‘Jesus Christ has come alive in me.’”
He also spoke on how people helped him through his challenging life and how he didn’t realize that until later, saying, “So many people helped me in life. I didn’t know that. I thought I was doing so much … but there are so many good people in my life.”
Continuing on that point, he added, “I was given so much advice from so many different people, and it’s a matter of trusting. Trust that people will give you advice. Listen when they have something to tell you. And I think that that is the key to all the riches in the world, is listening to people who care about you.”

Amen!
I’ve even got my George Foreman grill.
He was quite the entrepreneur with that.
We use ours all the time...great for burgers.
Yes, amen to that!
I was sure that George Foreman must be a Muslim, not a Christian. I read that he named each of his many sons George.
I’m thinking, only a Muslim wife would dutifully go along with that.
I guess I was wrong.
He wasn’t your standard ESPN icon.
He has a sense of humor...
He has around 20 German shepherds. Not sure if he named them all “George Foreman”, like his kids.
Planning to see his biopic movie this weekend.
I don’t wear my Christian Religion on my sleeve, as too many do, but i Pray to my Lord and Savior and Heavenly Father, daily.
I have one as well. It is a pain to clean but it works really well.
Well, he is a pastor and talking to a Christian publication. I don’t recall him saying one will be saved on any of his grill commercials.
Franklin Graham gets interviewed on TV often regarding his efforts or commentary when his group does outreach work with those Covid tents, hurricane cleanup, etc. I like it that he is not afraid to mention God. I mean, the news folks know that is his main job!
Extreme Evangelicals give me the creeps. They’re mostly frauds and perverts.
Yes, it’s kind of a pain to clean, but I have one that has removable grill grates which makes it easier to clean.
“I have one as well. It is a pain to clean but it works really well.”
German Shepherd or George Foreman Grill? /s
Wow.......it would be almost worth Goodwilling my old one and getting one with a removable grill.
Me too!
I normally tend to ignore commercials, especially if some famous sport figure promotes them.
But George Foreman is probably the only exception. He is really nice guy!
