We’re looking forward to introducing you to Blake Stoner. Check out our conversation below.
Blake, so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What is a normal day like for you right now?
A normal day for me is a mix of running the storefront, connecting with people, and handling the behind-the-scenes of the brand. I try to spend as much time as possible in our shop because I really value building relationships with customers face-to-face — hearing their stories, watching them light up when they connect with a design, and creating those community moments is a big part of why I started this in the first place.
The other half of my day is more of the “engine room” of the business — packing online orders, running errands, designing new pieces, and creating content that tells the story of Jesus Freak Club. I’m also usually juggling some backend responsibilities, whether it’s planning campaigns, brainstorming collaborations, or checking in on upcoming launches.
I try to end the day with my wife over dinner — resetting, spending time together, and finding that balance between work and life.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Blake Stoner, and I’m the owner of Jesus Freak Club, a faith-based lifestyle brand rooted in Pearland, Texas. What started as a small idea has grown into both an online presence and a physical storefront in Old Townsite Pearland. Our heart is simple: to create apparel and products that spark conversations about faith in everyday life.
Jesus Freak Club exists to make sharing the gospel approachable and natural. Every piece is designed with intentionality — whether it’s a hoodie, tee, or accessory — so that when someone asks about it, it opens the door to share your faith. It’s not just clothing, it’s a tool for evangelism and a statement of identity.
What makes us unique is the community that’s grown around the brand. We’ve been blessed to host events, collaborate with other local businesses, and connect with people who share the same mission of living boldly for Christ. We’re not just selling clothes — we’re building a movement of believers who want to live unashamed of their faith.
Right now, I split my time between running our storefront, packing and shipping online orders, designing new collections, and creating content to share the story of JFC. Recently, I’ve also expanded into creating tools beyond apparel, like the Daily Bread Journal, which gives structure to Bible study and reflection. That’s been an exciting new chapter — equipping people with resources that go beyond what they wear.
At the end of the day, I want people to know that Jesus Freak Club isn’t just about fashion — it’s about being bold in your walk with Christ. Every piece we release carries that mission, and my prayer is that it encourages people to step out and share the hope of Jesus with confidence.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
The defining moment for me was the day I decided to follow Jesus. Everything about how I see life and the world shifted in that moment. Before, I was chasing after temporary things, but now every decision I make is filtered through this desire to glorify Him.
I see the world differently now — not as my permanent home, but as a place where I’ve been given the opportunity to live on mission. My true home is in Heaven, and while I’m here, my purpose is to reflect Christ and help others encounter Him. That perspective has shaped the way I run my business, the way I treat people, and the way I use my time. It’s more than a belief — it’s the lens I live my whole life through.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering has been one of the greatest teachers in my life. That might sound strange at first, but Scripture makes it clear that suffering has a unique way of shaping us. James 1:2–4, Romans 5:3–4, and 1 Peter 4:12–14 all talk about how trials produce perseverance, maturity, and even joy when we see them through the lens of faith.
Success is great, but it often makes you comfortable. Suffering, on the other hand, strips you down and forces you to depend on God in ways you never would have otherwise. It reveals your weakness, but it also reveals His strength. It teaches you empathy, resilience, and a deeper trust in God’s promises.
For me, success has never drawn me closer to Jesus the way suffering has. It’s in the hard seasons that my faith has been refined, my character stretched, and my eyes fixed more firmly on eternity rather than temporary things.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. What do you believe is true but cannot prove?
For me, that would be the gospel. I believe with all my heart that Jesus is God, that He died, rose again, and ascended into Heaven. That belief is rooted in faith — in trusting what cannot be seen.
From my perspective, I see God’s hand in everything around me, but I know to the naked eye, not everyone would. That’s where faith comes in: Hebrews 11:1 reminds us that faith is “confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”
At the same time, I don’t think faith is blind. There’s an overwhelming amount of historical, cultural, and even logical evidence that points toward the truth of Jesus for those who are searching. But ultimately, it’s about taking that step of belief — not because you can prove every detail, but because you’ve experienced Him personally and trust His Word.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. When do you feel most at peace?
I feel the most at peace when I’m in the Word and spending intentional time with the Lord. There’s something about opening Scripture, letting it speak into my life, and just resting in His presence that centers me no matter what’s going on around me.
And honestly, pairing that with a good cup of coffee makes it even better. Those quiet moments — Bible open, coffee in hand, time set apart with God — are where I find the deepest sense of calm and clarity. It’s in those times that everything else slows down, and I’m reminded of what truly matters.
