George Foreman Recalls Incredible Conversion: 'Jesus Christ Is Coming Alive in Me!'

Inside the ring and out, George Foreman was a man driven by anger and resentment - raging emotion that drove him to become the world heavyweight champion in 1973. More than a decade later, he did it again, but the driving force behind that record-breaking comeback was profoundly different.
Foreman abruptly walked away from his boxing career for the first time in 1977, after a significant spiritual awakening. Growing up, his mother - a single parent raising six children in the Fifth Ward community of Houston - spoke of God often, a habit of which Foreman was not fond. But those words, seeds planted over time, sprung to life for the boxing champion as he recuperated in his locker room after a fight.
"My first time around, I was just ambitious: I wanted to be top heavyweight champion of the world ... rich and famous and that whole thing," Foreman recently told CBN's Faithwire. "Then, all of the sudden, I hit that rock. I found out there was more to life. I found God on the dressing room table, screaming, 'Jesus Christ is coming alive in me!'"
