Made For This with Jennie Allen

Something is happening across the world. Revival is breaking outl, God is moving, and we have a choice: lean in or miss it. In this episode, we are sharing Jennie's message from Gather. As she reflects on her own experiences witnessing the glory of God, she issues a challenge to all of us: Will we choose awe or cynicism? Will we trade comfort for surrender? Will we confess the things holding us back and truly step into the freedom God has for us? This episode is raw, unfiltered, and urgent. Jennie shares her vivid dream that started Gather 25 and why she believes the church must wake up. The storm of revival is coming—will you be part of it, or will it pass you by? Or will we be so distracted by our comforts, our cynicism, and our self-made plans that we miss it?This is a call to action. Confess, repent, and let God move in your life. Revival isn’t coming—it’s already here. Will you be part of it? Press play, lean in, and let’s go. We love our friends at Dwell Differently who make scripture memory easier!

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.

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.
