Behind the Scenes of What Happened at SEU with Jonathan Rivera

Jennie Allen — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 13:22:00 -0100

In this episode, Jennie sits down with Jonathan Rivera to talk about what happened at SEU during the 10-day outpouring that changed everything.

Together, they relive the moment the room shifted, the confession that broke everything open, and what it was like to watch students stay, worship, repent, pray, and respond to the presence of God in a way neither of them had experienced before. They also talk about the cost of stewarding a move of God, the practical leadership it required, and why they believe this was never just about one room - it was about sending people out to the ends of the earth.

The Lie, the Brain, and the Way We Heal with Dr. Curt Thompson

Jennie Allen — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 14:22:05 -0100

In this episode, Jennie sits down with her longtime friend, mentor, and counselor Dr. Curt Thompson for a deep conversation about lies, healing, shame, neuroplasticity, and the power of community.

Together, they explore why the lies we believe about ourselves can feel so normal that we stop noticing them, how those lies get embedded in us over time, and why freedom takes more than just hearing the truth once. This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing is not just about information - it is about practice, remembrance, and being deeply known by safe people.

Book Club Week One: Freedom Starts Here

Jennie Allen — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 05:00:00 -0100

Check out Boll and Branch today and support the Jennie Allen Show!

Welcome to Week One of the Book Club for The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe.

In this episode, Jennie kicks off the journey by introducing the core idea behind the book: there is likely one foundational lie shaping the way you see yourself, God, and the world - and you may not even realize you believe it.

But freedom begins when we learn to name the lie, understand the battle happening in our minds, and step into the truth of God’s kingdom.

BONUS EPISODE: Live in Waco with Jonathan Pokluda and Jennie Allen

Jennie Allen — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 16:55:59 -0100

In this special live episode from Waco, Texas, Jennie sits down with her friend Jonathan “JP” Pokluda to talk about The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe, how core lies get planted in us, and what it looks like to actually fight them with truth, community, and the presence of Jesus.

Together, they unpack the three core lies so many people live under - I am helpless, I am unlovable, I am worthless - and how those lies often begin with real wounds, real moments, and real pain from childhood. Through honest stories, live Q&A, and practical wisdom, this conversation gets to the root of why we think the way we do and how freedom begins.

It’s Book Launch Day!!!
Jennie pulls back the curtain and shows us exactly what it looks like to fight the lies in real time.

But there is another story.

You are not helpless.
You are not worthless.
You are not unlovable.
And you don’t have to fight alone.

Flashback Friday: Conflict Zones, The CIA, and Listening to God with Jamie Winship

Jennie Allen — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 06:00:00 -0100

We are bringing back one of our favorite episodes!

What if following Jesus was less about carrying responsibility and more about responding to invitation?

In part one of this conversation, Jennie sits down with Jamie Winship to talk about identity - not as something we achieve, but something we receive. Jamie shares his story of becoming a police officer, working in war zones, and learning to bring who he is into what he does, rather than letting his work define him.

Jamie introduces two simple questions that have reshaped how Jennie leads, decides, and lives: “God, what do you want me to know?” and “What do you want me to do?” This episode invites us to slow down, listen, and remember that God is not asking us to carry everything - He’s asking us to respond to Him.

Jennie Allen — Thu, 22 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0100

Judah shares vulnerably about his journey as a pastor, author, and leader navigating platform, criticism, and the tension between obedience to God and approval from people. Together, they explore how true spiritual formation is often hidden, slow, and deeply rooted in character, family, and presence with Jesus - not scale or success.

Jennie Allen — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 05:00:00 -0100

Feeling helpless? Worthless? Unlovable? Listen the this.

Jennie Allen — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 06:00:00 -0100

This message is a wake-up call. Jennie unpacks the spiritual war happening in our generation - not just out there in the world, but in our minds. If you’ve been feeling the darkness get darker, the pressure get heavier, or the lies get louder… you are not imagining it. But the light is getting brighter too. And God is raising up an army.

Jennie shares the three core lies the enemy whispers - I am worthless, I am helpless, I am unlovable - and shows how each one shuts us down, keeps us stuck, and keeps us from stepping into the good works God has prepared for us.

Waiting or Wasting Time? | With DawnCheré Wilkerson

Jennie Allen — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 05:00:00 -0100

Waiting isn’t wasted. In the “slow burn” seasons - infertility, unanswered prayers, long obedience - God forms identity, deepens trust, and writes better stories than we could plan.

DawnCheré shares a raw, hope-filled framework for living faithfully in the middle: worship as a daily rhythm, community as oxygen, gratitude as a superpower, and surrender as strategy.

The Messy Middle

Jennie Allen — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 05:00:00 -0100

Most of life isn’t a launch or a finish line. It’s the middle, mundane, conflicted, unglamorous, and that’s exactly where God grows our maturity, resilience, and trust.

Jennie names the “messy middle” we all live in: between starting and celebrating, between intention and fruit. Looking at scripture, parenting moments, and the behind-the-scenes of launching Gather25, she reframes the middle as holy ground. This is where perseverance forms character, trust replaces control, and faithfulness becomes the measure of a life with God.

The Cost Of Obedience with Joe L Barnes

Jennie Allen — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 05:00:00 -0100

What if the point isn’t platform, but friendship with God? Jennie sits down with Joe L. Barnes -worship leader, Grammy-winning songwriter (“Promises”), and tender shepherd-at-heart - to talk about obeying God’s voice, writing songs from real pain, and letting Jesus define success.

You’ll hear:
Obedience over optics: the one decision to follow God’s voice that opened every door
Good Shepherd theology: why “You anoint my head with oil” means protection, healing, and rest for anxious hearts
Collaboration & communion: real talk before great songs - and why we’re made for both
Grief & marriage: holding loss and love at the same time, and the legacy Joe wants more than platform

Tim shares his story of childhood trauma, porn addiction, and the night confession unlocked freedom for his whole family - and why healing took therapy, accountability, and time.

You’ll hear:
- Why confession breaks shame - and why secrecy keeps us stuck
- The difference between root issues and fruit behaviors (and how to spot yours)
- How to cultivate childlike faith again (Romans 8:1)
- Why Tim named his show The Basement (and why going lower is going “higher”)

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Thu, 13 Feb 2025 07:00:00 -0100

In this episode, Jennie Allen sits down once again with Dr. Curt Thompson. They dive deep into the connection between our thoughts, emotions, and relationships, exploring how true transformation comes not just from "stopping spirals" but from deep attachment and connection with God and others. He challenges the idea that we can simply "think our way out" of struggles and instead reveals how co-regulation, secure relationships, and community are essential to emotional and spiritual health.

This conversation is rich, thought-provoking, and filled with wisdom on how to rewrite the stories we tell ourselves, combat shame, and truly rest in the love of God.

Key Takeaways:

You are not alone in your struggles – healing happens in relationships, not isolation.
Spiritual growth is about attachment – we were designed for connection with God and others.
Your story matters – bringing hidden parts of yourself into the light leads to true transformation.

Surrender and Success with The Chosen's Dallas Jenkins

In today's episode, Jennie talks with Dallas Jenkins about his newest project, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.

Through storytelling, Dallas hopes to remove barriers that people often face with faith, presenting Jesus in a way that is both authentic and accessible.

Jennie Teaches on the Spiritual Realm

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Tue, 29 Oct 2024 06:00:00 -0100

This week, Jennie Allen shares a powerful teaching on spiritual warfare from her home church (Watermark) at their Young Adult gathering, The Porch. Pastor Timothy Ateek sets the stage as Jennie dives into the reality of the unseen war around us. Jennie reminds us of the call to be alert and sober-minded, as 1 Peter 4:8 instructs. We can't ignore the battle God has invited us into.

She also addresses two common lies: that either everything is the devil, or nothing is. The enemy’s greatest desire is to go unnoticed, but we must be vigilant, recognize his schemes, and fight back.

Don’t coast—join the battle as a follower of Jesus!

Jennie On the Topic of Angels - What Are They?

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Tue, 08 Oct 2024 07:00:00 +0000

In today’s episode, Jennie takes us into the fascinating world of angels.

You matter so much to God that He has angels on your side!

Jennie takes us deeper into the topic of spiritual warfare by discussing demons and sharing personal stories and encounters. When we recognize that we are in a spiritual battle, and we understand who the enemy is, we can start to use the strategies, weapons, and resources God has given us to fight differently. We pray that this conversation will stir up our faith and help us see the battle around us more clearly.

Jennie on Warfare Prayer, Healing and the Spiritual Realm

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 07:00:00 +0000

In this first teaching of the season, Jennie shares the reality of spiritual warfare and how we’re all in a battle. She reminds us that while Jesus is coming back, the enemy is actively fighting for our souls. But we don’t need to be afraid because prayer is our most powerful weapon. When we understand the enemy, how he schemes, and what the Bible says about evil, we’re better equipped to fight for ourselves and the people we love.

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 06:00:00 -0100

When we experience an emotion, we have a choice to make about how we will respond.

Right when you feel a specific emotion, what is your 3 C’s go-to: Control, Conceal or Cope?

Emotional Maturity

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Tue, 06 Feb 2024 07:00:00 -0100

We are all thinkers AND feelers. In this episode, Jennie provides insight into how our emotions draw us closer to God and each other with the ultimate goal for us to experience God in our lives in fullness and freedom.

MAIN POINTS:

Using the muscle of feeling will grow emotional maturity
What emotion are you afraid to feel?
Uncovering your emotions can feel like you are pulling out these threads that are tangling you up and while working through those emotions, those threads become these ropes that connect you to God.
Everywhere we look in the world, there is emotional brokenness. As a follower of Christ who brings Jesus into the world through our words and actions, we need to be spiritually AND emotionally mature.
Emotions are the greatest place of need and we enter the Gospel into the greatest place of need.

S15 Ep16: Why We Are So Quick To Judge

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 07:00:03 -0100

In this episode, Jennie continues her exploration of the book of Galatians. This time, she focuses on the tension in chapter 5 as Paul presents a contrasting message. Throughout most of Galatians, Paul emphasizes that our salvation is not dependent on our performance or adherence to the law. However, in this passage, he lays out a list of behaviors that he warns will prevent us from inheriting the kingdom of God. Jennie shows us while it may be tempting to judge others or focus on external behaviors, the key lies in understanding the inner transformation that comes from being filled with the Holy Spirit.

MAIN POINTS:

00:00 Jennie continues her deep dive into Galatians in Made for This Season 15

S12: The First Step in Knowing Who You Are

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Tue, 04 Oct 2022 07:00:02 +0000

When we take inventory of all the pieces that make us whole, it is unlikely they are all thriving at the same time. In this episode, we talk about how to seek God’s guidance when we feel lacking, and how to trust Him with a child-like faith. We all feel pressure to a different degree. When that happens, our identities can become tied to our achievements. But know this: God is after a relationship with you. He doesn’t want you to do more or achieve more.

S12: Are You Ok? — Season 12 Coming October 4th

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Fri, 30 Sep 2022 07:00:02 +0000

Are you ok?
We all would love to have a quick answer when someone asks us this, but life is not that simple. When we realize that our identity and who we are is made up of a combination of many parts that are feeling and experiencing different things at a given time, we are able to work on the different parts without sabotaging the whole. Join us for 12 weeks, 24 episodes where we take an honest look at the parts of you and the God who makes us whole. I want to walk beside you in this tension and remind you what Scripture tells us that God wants for us. Forward this to your friends, gather your people, and process this in community.

S7: 05 - How to talk to God.

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Tue, 16 Feb 2021 07:30:07 -0100

So last week we talked about the Holy Spirit and this week we are going to talk about actually praying. On today's episode we are talking about the fact that most people say they pray and they actually don't. Let me ask you a question: "When is the last time you actually formed words to God?" If God is in control why do we pray?

S7: Peace over Chaos - Season 7 starts Feb. 2nd!

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Thu, 28 Jan 2021 08:25:09 -0100

NEW YEAR, NEW SEASON and we missed you!! If there’s ever been a time where we need people to grab us by the shoulders and tell us what is true and what is real, it is right now. We don’t need big fancy words to get us through our days, we need to go back to the simple and pure things God has given us to stay close to Him and love people well. There is a way out of the chaos in our minds, the fear, the confusion and lack of vision - it’s in clinging to our Bibles and knowing what to do next because of it. Let’s spend 10 weeks going back to the basics every single one of us needs to know… things like how to pray, what to do with sin, how to read your Bible, and why we all need to have fun sometimes. These 10 weeks will give you practical steps you can take right now and challenge you to follow God and go deeper with Him.

S6: 21 - A big thank YOU and what’s coming next for the podcast!

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 09:03:18 -0100

It has been an incredible journey as we work through things like shame, isolation, bitterness, and anger together. We want to remember some of our favorite moments with you!

Season 6 is coming Sep 29th and we can't wait! Are you worn down? Burnt out? Are your hardest emotions feeling unbearable? The things we have used to prop up our pain have been kicked out from under us during COVID and what is underneath is exposed. We stay busy. We stay entertained. We numb out. All to avoid facing these hard emotions. And for the first time, we’re realizing it. But we don’t have to stay there….

S5: 5 Things Everyone Needs to Know about God - Season 5 Coming June 30th

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Fri, 26 Jun 2020 07:00:18 +0000

Little kids ask hard questions. Am I saying the right thing? Am I explaining that enough? You’re met with blank stares. Or maybe their curiosity is deeper and bigger than you could ever dream. Or let’s get real. We have hard questions about the things of God. But we rarely take the time to stop and dig for the answer and understand it down in our bones.

Even if you don't have kids, don’t tune out on this.

This is important for all of us to get the basics right. Why am I here? What is sin? Where is heaven? Do I know God? These are crucial questions and I want to spend the next 5 weeks going there. It’s going to be simple and clear and I don’t want you to miss this.

There’s something robbing our joy, leaving us defeated and paralyzed and sad. In some degree, all of us are acting like the world is out to get us and we don’t have to live like this. God has given us a way out of our spiraling thoughts. NOTE - there are so many of you are facing unthinkable abuse and wrong, listen to the whole episode… we’re not talking about this.

S3: Introducing Season 3: Get Out of Your Head

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 07:30:05 -0100

SEASON 3 STARTS ON JANUARY 28th!

I hear all the time from people who feel stuck in patterns of frustration and defeat. In my search for a solution, I learned that the greatest spiritual battle of our generation is taking place between our ears. How we think shapes how we live. So it's crucial that we learn how to stop our spinning thoughts and refuse to fall prey to toxic thinking patterns like victimhood, anxiety, and distraction. In Season 3 of the Made for This podcast, we will focus on biblical truth and recent discoveries in neuroscience to show exactly how we can fight the enemies of the mind with the truth of who God is and who He calls us to be. "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind..." This means it's possible.

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Tue, 05 Nov 2019 09:05:03 -0100

Why are we spinning out with no time to do the very things God has called us to? I believe we are letting life happen to us rather than build the life God has called us to.

S2: 09 - Unafraid with Christine Caine

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Thu, 31 Oct 2019 07:55:15 -0100

I call Christine my 'courage coach' because she showed me a way forward into living unafraid. Living unafraid doesn't mean we don't experience the emotion of fear, it means we move and act in spite of it and believe God is greater. Do not miss this episode!

When I travel around the country and ask rooms full of people whether they struggle with anxiety or control, the entire room raises their hands. Many of us aren't entirely sure why our chests are tight, why we're spiraling in fear, many of us have very real life circumstances that give us reason to be afraid. God wants to meet us in this place and I want to talk about fear in this episode.

S2: 04 - Angry

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Tue, 15 Oct 2019 08:15:18 +0000

All of us have expectations, and when those expectations are not met, we get angry. The sneaky thing about anger is that most people, when you ask them if they’re an angry person, would say no! Anger doesn’t always look like yelling, fits of rage, public. Let’s take an honest look at our anger and go to Scripture for our help.

I called my friend Jill recently to talk about prayer and I want you to join us. When Jill spoke at IF:Gathering a few years back, the internet almost broke, because she is a walking picture of faithfulness to God and never giving up over a lifetime. Why prayer? Because we can't start this process of looking at our emotions without being with Jesus. You will love hearing from her about courage and anxiety and Scripture and I know she'll encourage you today.

S2: Introducing Season 2: STUCK

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 10:15:09 +0000

So many of us live stuck. Stuck in trying to seem perfect. Stuck in sadness. Stuck feeling numb. Stuck pursuing more stuff to make us happy. Stuck in something we can't even name. These stuck places often go unattended inside of us and they are shaping our lives more than we would like to think. We've been trying to fix this feeling with everything but... God. He has a plan for these spaces inside of us, the places we feel broken, but we have to go to Him. Season 2 of the Made for This Podcast is here! And we’re going to get UNSTUCK. Let’s talk about anger, discontentment, overwhelm, fear and sadness…. some of the places we all get stuck. There will be interviews and Scripture every week. Come on this journey with us to take an honest look at the fight going on inside that leads us to the God who can set us free!

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Wed, 25 Sep 2019 08:50:05 +0000

Pressure produces some of the best work and the best creativity. It causes me to be intentional in my relationships and conversations. It forces me to depend on God because I can't accomplish what is required of me in a given day, week, or year without the power and strength of God entering in and helping me. Let's talk about 5 ways you can look differently at pressure in life and see it as a help rather than something to avoid at all cost.

S1: 16 - The Power of Need

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Wed, 14 Aug 2019 09:33:44 +0000

One of the biggest barriers I think we all face in friendship is expressing our own needs. I struggle with this! A friend I love told me recently, “Jennie, I just don’t think you need me!” It couldn’t be farther from the truth, but she was right. I have a hard time telling my friends what’s going on in my life and what I need from them. We all just stay within our lines and wave politely at each other rather than getting into the everyday parts of each other’s lives. When I talk about these hard things on the show, just know I’m right there with you in this. I believe in us team!

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Wed, 10 Jul 2019 08:50:02 +0000

Zac and I have fought hard for the marriage we have now. We've been married for 22 years and I can't imagine a more supportive spouse and we absolutely delight in cheering each other on. We have become the best of friends but I mean it when I say it is hard-fought. Five years in, we wondered if we were going to make it at all. Whether you are single, in a difficult marriage, or in a marriage you hope is constantly getting better, I hope episode 6 encourages you and gives you a lot of hope.

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Wed, 10 Jul 2019 08:45:15 +0000

In this episode, we are diving into a difficult topic. Guys- division and competition are killing the Church. And maybe you haven't even noticed it in yourself. But I see it everywhere I look and we have to fight it better! God has laid out the way for us to do it. I believe in us and I know God wants to tell a better story through us. Let's talk about how we can cheer each other on instead of competing.

S1: 03 - How to Have Life-Giving Conversations

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Sat, 06 Jul 2019 09:00:18 +0000

What do you and your friends circle around? Do you find yourself coming home from hanging out with your friends feeling discouraged or encouraged? I think the answer to how we have life-giving relationships lies in what we talk about, what we circle around. We can shift the entire culture of our friendships by doing this one thing... quit talking about other people.

S1: 01 - The Secret to Healthy Relationships

Made For This with Jennie Allen — Mon, 01 Jul 2019 08:55:06 +0000

How do I make friends? This is a question we all ask no matter our age or stage of life. Join me as I talk about the biggest problem we face as we try to make friends. The Apostle Paul, the author of the letter to the Philippian church, knew this and knew friendship and community were not about him, it was about others and about living on mission.

Let’s look at the book of Philippians together to see what happens when God is at the center of our relationships. Let’s also address the elephant in the room… co-dependency. How do we know if we’re in a co-dependent relationship and what do we do about it? We’re going there in episode 1… join us!
