When Faith Leads the Way: How Al Alexander and Steve Krentz Are Transforming Business and Leadership
This week on Thrive with Rob and Jason on AbundantTV, the conversation focused on the powerful intersection of faith, leadership, and purpose-driven business. With Rob away for this episode, Donnie Young stepped in as guest cohost alongside Jason, bringing his bold perspective and passion for biblical leadership to the discussion.
Joining them were Al Alexander and Steve Krentz, the hosts of the Prophets to the Profits Podcast, a platform dedicated to exploring how faith and business leadership can work together to create meaningful impact. Their guiding principle is simple yet powerful: love should always be the bottom line.
Throughout the episode, the discussion highlighted how leaders can pursue success in business while staying grounded in their calling, their values, and their faith.
Donnie Young: Speaking Truth with Courage
Guest cohost Donnie Young, the voice behind the Spoken Like A Man platform and podcast, helped frame the conversation around the role Christian leaders play in shaping culture today.
Through his podcast and ministry, Donnie encourages men to step into biblical leadership within their homes, communities, and workplaces. His platform focuses on themes such as faith, responsibility, masculinity, and leadership, challenging men to live with conviction and courage in a culture that often avoids truth.
Donnie’s presence on the show added an important perspective to the discussion, especially around the importance of leaders standing firm in their faith while navigating the challenges of business and life.
Al Alexander: Faith, Family, and Entrepreneurial Leadership
Guest Al Alexander shared insights from his journey as a Buffalo-based entrepreneur and business leader. Al is the co-owner of ConEquip Parts, a growing construction equipment parts company that supports a team of 163 employees.
But for Al, success is not measured only by financial growth. As a husband, father of seven, and church leader, his leadership philosophy begins with faith and family.
During the conversation, Al spoke about how aligning business decisions with God’s purpose changes how leaders approach their work. When business is viewed as a calling rather than just a career, it becomes a platform for influence, mentorship, and service.
That mindset inspired the creation of the Prophets to the Profits Podcast, where Al and Steve share real-world lessons about leadership, entrepreneurship, and faith. Their goal is to help leaders integrate their spiritual values with the everyday realities of running a business.
Steve Krentz: Storytelling That Builds Impact
Joining Al was Steve Krentz, a multimedia specialist and business owner whose career has been shaped by the power of storytelling.
Steve previously worked as a news producer for CBS News and WPIX 11, where he developed a passion for telling stories that inform, inspire, and connect people.
Today, Steve uses those storytelling skills to help businesses and leaders communicate their mission and values more effectively.
At ConEquip Parts, Steve and Al helped build a groundbreaking digital strategy within the construction industry. Together they developed the company’s marketing and media team and launched a unique social media approach that now generates more than 105 million video views every year, reaching over 40 million people annually.
Their work has set a new standard for digital engagement in the construction equipment industry, proving that even traditional industries can connect with audiences in powerful ways when they embrace authentic storytelling.
Where Faith and Business Meet
One of the central themes of the episode was the belief that faith and business should not be separated. Instead, they should work together to shape leaders who operate with integrity, humility, and purpose.
Al and Steve use the Prophets to the Profits Podcast to continue these conversations with entrepreneurs, pastors, and business leaders who are navigating the challenges of leadership while staying grounded in their faith.
Whether discussing marketing strategy, leadership development, or personal calling, their message remains consistent: success means little if it is not aligned with God’s purpose.
Thriving with Purpose
This week’s episode of Thrive with Rob and Jason reminded viewers that thriving in business and leadership begins with the right foundation.
With Donnie Young stepping in as cohost and guests Al Alexander and Steve Krentz sharing their insights, the conversation highlighted how faith-driven leadership can shape businesses, communities, and lives.
Because when faith leads the way and love becomes the bottom line, business becomes more than success.
It becomes legacy.
