On this episode, Darren sits down with Blake and Stephanie Alexandre (founders of the first certified regenerative farm in the U.S.) to discuss their entrepreneurial journey and Christian business leaders’ God-given responsibility to care for the environment.

Stephanie Gass, a Christian business and podcast coach, discusses how faith reshaped her career after hitting rock bottom. Following the collapse of her self-built business in 2016, Gass surrendered her plans to God, leading to a prophetic dream that directed her to start a podcast. From humble beginnings with no clear roadmap, she built “Online Business for Christian Women,” a top-ranked global show that helps believers grow businesses rooted in purpose, not hustle. Through obedience and consistency, Gass turned podcasting into a ministry that equips others to partner with God in their work, replacing social media burnout with sustainable impact. Her approach has empowered hundreds of women to find clarity in their calling, share redemptive stories, and use their platforms as tools for discipleship. Grounded in biblical principles, Gass proves that when business is led by faith rather than striving, it becomes both a vessel for transformation and a testimony of God’s provision.

Key Takeaways 💡

  • Faith at Work – Calling Over Comfort
    Blake and Stephanie Alexandre felt led by God to buy a struggling ranch in a poor county, trusting His direction even when family questioned the decision. Their early struggles pushed them into deeper dependence on God as they learned to steward land, animals, and people with purpose.
  • From Conventional to Regenerative – Obedience Shaped Their Path
    Through prayer and a desire to honor God in their work, the Alexandres shifted into organic and regenerative farming long before it was common. That step of faith eventually led to the first certified regenerative dairy in the U.S., showing how God’s strategy often outperforms conventional wisdom.
  • Building God’s Kingdom Through Business – Discipleship in Daily Work
    The Alexandres treat their farm as ministry by praying with employees, modeling integrity, and openly sharing their faith. Their leadership shapes culture, influences lives, and turns everyday work into a platform for discipleship and witness.
