Jackson Kiser shares story of conversion

Jackson Kiser, a former atheist and business graduate, describes his conversion to Christianity following a personal crisis, according to the portal Yes Catholic.

Kiser graduated Summa Cum Laude from Georgia College & State University in 2025 with a degree in Business Administration, specializing in Marketing and Sales. He also worked as a researcher in artificial intelligence alongside academic Ward Risvold. Despite these academic achievements, Kiser reported feeling a sense of disdain for religious organizations and a lack of belief in God during his youth.

The ZENIT News Agency reports that Kiser's perspective changed four years ago after the death of his grandmother from pancreatic cancer. Kiser stated that during this period of grief, he experienced an encounter with Christ after hearing the name of Jesus internally.
