The Jennie Allen Podcast

This week, Jennie sits down with therapist, author, and podcast host Dr. Adam Young for an honest conversation about story, trauma, healing, and why the lies we believe are often rooted far deeper than we realize.They talk about how childhood experiences shape our nervous systems, why you cannot simply “think” your way out of pain, and how real healing happens through integration, honesty, and safe relationships. If you have ever wondered why you still react so strongly to certain situations, why some lies feel impossible to shake, or why your story still affects you now, this episode will help make sense of it.This conversation is deep, compassionate, and full of hope.Resources & Links:GET JENNIE'S NEW BOOKListen "The Place We Find Ourselves" with Dr. Adam YoungSponsor a child with CompassionJoin the fight clubFight Your Lie Tour Tickets hereCheck out Boll and BranchListen to more episodes: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeLearn More About JennieFollow Jennie on social:InstagramFacebook

Jonathan Pokluda, pastor and author who teaches on spiritual warfare and identity, joins to share personal testimony and ministry stories. He talks about how lies attack our most vulnerable places. They explore discernment, prayer, social media struggles, and holding fast in the gap between God’s promises and their fulfillment.

Jennie continues the The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe book club by focusing on one of the most important steps toward freedom: naming the lie you’ve been believing.She walks through the three core lies - I am helpless, I am worthless, and I am unlovable - and how they quietly shape our lives, keeping us stuck in shame and striving. But the good news is that God offers a different story. Instead of trying to prove ourselves, control everything, or earn love, He meets us in the gap we could never cross on our own.Resources & Links:GET JENNIE'S NEW BOOKJoin the fight clubFight Your Lie Tour Tickets hereCheck out Boll and BranchListen to more episodes: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeLearn More About JennieFollow Jennie on social:InstagramFacebook

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.Resources & Links:GET JENNIE'S NEW BOOKJoin the fight clubFight Your Lie Tour Tickets hereCheck out Boll and BranchListen to more episodes: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeLearn More About JennieFollow Jennie on social:InstagramFacebook
