📈 Part of our Christian Businessman Series

In this powerful episode of the Christian Businessman Series, Alex chats with longtime friend Derrick Clark, simply known as DC to Evangel football fans. DC is a former NFL, NFL Europe, and XFL running back turned global flag football entrepreneur. Derrick shares how he came to faith just 16 years ago, how his marriage to Tamara became the greatest blessing of his life, and how God is now using them to mentor and develop inner-city youth and young adults through sports. From leading the NAIA in rushing at Evangel University to co-owning professional flag football teams in the U.S. and Germany, Derrick opens up about the highs and lows of his athletic career and business journey, the role faith plays in his leadership, and the lessons he’s learned along the way. This episode is packed with wisdom, humility, and real talk for men navigating faith, family, and purpose.
