Planting Seeds of Hope: Cul2Vate’s Mission for Food, Faith, and Fresh Starts

In this episode of Steeple People, hosts Amy-Jo Girardier and Michele Dyer sit down with Joey Langford, founder of Cul2Vate, a Tennessee-based ministry committed to food equity, gospel-centered work, and fresh starts for the formerly incarcerated. Joey’s story begins in a barn with a simple prayer—and leads all the way to greenhouse farming in South Africa and workforce development in his rural hometown.

With honesty and humor, Joey shares how his journey from business success to kingdom significance was marked by radical obedience, deep calling, and a whole lot of tomatoes. You’ll hear how Cul2Vate became the only working farm on state government property in the U.S., how discipleship and dignity go hand-in-hand, and how God is using this ministry to transform both soil and souls.

Whether you’re passionate about justice, second chances, or finding God in the ordinary rhythms of work, this story of gospel work will inspire you to sow seeds of hope wherever you are planted.
