In today's episode, Jennie talks with Dallas Jenkins about his newest project, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. For Dallas, this film is more than nostalgic entertainment; it’s the fulfillment of a calling. After years of praying for the chance to tell this story, he brings the Christmas message to life, sharing the true meaning of "unto you a child is born." Dallas believes that Christ came for everyone, especially the outsider and the overlooked. Dallas also opens up about the challenges of surrendering outcomes to God, especially in a success-driven world. He shares how he’s learned to offer his "five loaves and two fish" and leave the rest in God’s hands, a lesson that has been central to both The Chosen and 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.

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!Did you know Simple Modern is incredibly generous?!

In this special episode, we pulled Jennie Allen’s powerful talk from IF:Gathering 2023. Jennie opens up about a season in her life where she felt utterly exhausted and shares a thought-provoking question: What if God were coming back in 10 years? How would we live differently? How would we show up? Throughout this talk, Jennie dives into the two questions that have been transformative for her: God, what do you want me to know? and What do you want me to do? And don’t miss the moment when she begins to read Ephesians 6 at the end—it’s a strong reminder of the reality of spiritual warfare and the armor of God.We are grateful for Simple Modern making this season possible!
