    Accepting Our Emotions
    I love to listen to Jennie! Her voice is easy to listen to. She is loving and accepting like a friend. The work she has gone through has helped me process my emotions. Hearing her and her daughter on the podcast is inspiring! 🎉🫶
  • Bmilam177
    My Morning Inspiration
    This podcast is my inspiration every morning while getting ready for work! I first heard Jennie at an IF Gathering at my church in 2022 & she has been impacting my life since. Whether a long term believer, newly reborn or just trying to find SOMETHING, Jennie Allen and Made For This are what you need!!
  • Balancing mom
    I wish I had found this podcast years ago!
    I recently discovered Jennie’s podcast. It has been so eye opening. I went to seminary too but I don’t remember any teaching about the role of emotions. In fact, it feels like emotions were always presented in a bad light. This podcast is part of my weekly “me time”. I am praying that you can keep making more! God bless you!
  • Jesw903
    Thank you I needed this. I love this.
    I am currently in a nursing home setting at 37 years old. It’s depressing however, right now I know all I need is God all I need is to hear his good news! This podcast has beyond help me wrap my mind around this along with all the emotions I have in here, including depression and loneliness, but I know God is always with me thank y’all so very much. I am beyond blessed to have found this podcast along with your books.

  • DrCRZ
    This Hits Different ! 💯
    I have been following your work and allowing it to do a work in me since Not Alone. And from Get out of Your Head ( necessary) to Finding Your People ( I put a fire pit in the back ), this new light on emotional intelligence and maturity is stirring up a whole thing in this Proud Fixer & Stuffer ! 😝 Thank you for sharing this - I am excited and expectant for the beauty on the other side of this “turn it upside downside” journey ! Everyone that knows me is in disbelief when I share these new tokens and ways of processing. Amazing work !
  • Jennie-Laurie Hope

    Made for this has changed the way I view God
    I have read many of Jenni Allen’s Books and I really enjoy how she is so real and speaks the truth of Gods word. It helps me to better understand myself and Gods love for me in real and practical ways.
  • Masontroop

    Thankful!!!
    So thankful for Jennie’s continued obedience to the Lord and His calling on her life! She has encouraged me and so many other women to remove the masks and the barriers keeping us from real authentic connection and community and be intentional and real with each other and God!

    Untangle Your Emotions
    WOW! We are only like 3 weeks into this book in our Women’s Group study via our church & it’s already amazing. Thank you for sharing this & your honesty & Godly wisdom & making it easy for me to understand & take deep into my heart. Ready for more
  • Sweet Vidalia
    God is in the details!!
    God is in the details! It’s no coincidence that the current podcast topic/book is on emotions. Every word has hit me to the core of my being and I’m so thankful for the transparency and vulnerability.
  • What’s Important?
    Truth and Inspiration
    I have been listening to Jennie for several years. She (and her team) speaks truth in a way that everyone can understand and apply to their life. Her guests are incredible and God inspired for the season she is focusing on. I have read many of her books as well and love her perspective and heart for helping people discover their purpose, know their position in God’s Kingdom, and feel that sense of belonging that we all desire. Jennie, you are on your God-spoken mission and I pray you continue to have the strength you need to continue His journey…. YOU are a blessing to MANY!!!

    Amazingly wonderful!
    This podcast has been such a wonderful blessing. I’m in 2 seasons and learning so much from it. It makes me feel I’m not alone. Gives me hope in many different aspects of my life.
  • Lindssrae
    Such a blessing!
    I’ve been listening to the Made For This podcast for a while now. It’s been such a blessing and a great encouragement as I’ve grown in my faith and walk with the Lord. This is my go-to listen whenever I’m walking or cleaning. I always leave with a fresh perspective and renewed spirit. Jennie speaks the Truth in love. Her guests on the show are always very interesting and authentic. I’ve shared so many episodes with others because the content is always applicable and helpful in many situations. Thanks Jennie and Chloe and any others. May the Lord bless you and keep you.
  • geelong cats fan 19
    The one with Sadie is the best
    So pleased you had Sadie on. She is the best. What a good guest to have
  • seaglasssister

  • Dmy0103
    A weekly staple podcast
    Oh my! This podcast, the content, the guests… is one of my top 3 podcasts! I listen weekly while I’m getting ready for work and can’t miss a week! I FEEL it when I do. Jennie’s messages are so timely, clear and have practical ways to implement small steps to have a closer relationship with God. I’ve been blessed by this podcast over and over and over again! Thank you, Jennie and the team!
  • PR Brown
    Honest, timely and real
    I found “Made For This” during the pandemic when I was seeking something for my spiritual life during the lock down. Jenny has topics and people on her podcast that always leads you to Jesus. It is welcoming and encourages me to seek the light of Jesus and be the light for Jesus. There is no condemnation, just encourage me how to love others and trust my life as a disciple of Christ.
  • Jjeter9
    My wife got me hooked!

If your wanting worldly advice this isn’t for you..if you want to hear truth then it’s a can’t miss!

    Grateful Heart
    My husband and I took a leap a faith in 2022 moved 8 hours away from our own 20 something children to act upon a call into full time ministry to college aged students. We appreciate all you do and we were so blessed by this episode Patterson! It so encouraged, affirmed and equipped us as we continue to “Go with GOD!”

    A Solid and Truth Anchored Podcast. Helped Me During A Spiral
    I don’t intend to sound whoa is me. But I’ve been in a season of fear and self doubt. A second mammogram came back with an abnormality about a month ago and it shook me. I finally had a biopsy yesterday so we are still praying for negative for cancer but… Jennie’s Podcast and her Get Out Of Your Head book (listening on Audible) have been my go to when I need encouragement, when I’m spiraling, or to prevent a spiral. Jennie is A Woman Of God. She fears Him! She Loves Him! She leans into him! And she know His word! Listening to Jennie give solid life advice backed with scripture has given me tools to lean into as well. So Jennie thank you for the time and love you put into your podcast and your books. You are helping so many people. Listening to you, leaning into the Lord, cherishing praise music, my husband, and trusted friends have all helped me have crucial mental shifts. After some positive observations at the biopsy yesterday I feel positive this thorn has been for a purpose and it was to help me know and trust Him more. Ps. I first heard you at my church’s women’s event Ignite at Stonewater Church in Granbury, TX. I love your passion, your sense of humor, and your vulnerability. I’m so grateful to God and my church for bringing you to our town and hope it happens again soon! With love Taylor Mooney ❤️
  • Michelle PNW
    The Best Authentic
    I have listened to every show, read every book, and enjoyed every bible study! I love sharing everything I have hear and learned! I can listen to the audio books and podcasts over and over and learn something else I have missed. Love reading and or listening audio books to the guest that’s been on your show! It’s so uplifting! Truly inspirational to be closer to God in so many different ways! I may have lost the way through life struggles of life. I have made my way back through God showing me over and over he has never left me! Thank you for the encouraging messages and being real about the true struggles we due face emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. But, when we due break through we are stronger with with that with God. So thank you for that. You have helped me in so many ways. I’m grateful that you saw that God had something for you share to the world!

    Galatians
    Love that you are going through a book of Scripture. Great messages, good to study the Word specifically! Thank you.
  • Andirall
    Inaccurate
    I have only listened to one episode but I have to stop there. She misspoke pretty egregiously and said “at the exact moment of salvation, we are justified and we are sanctified. In that moment, those things happen to us.” That’s inaccurate. We are indeed justified at salvation, but sanctification is a lifelong process that we go through with the help of the Holy Spirit. It most certainly does not “just happen” at salvation. This is a basic biblical concept so if she’s getting that wrong then I can’t really have confidence in the rest of her teaching.
  • AmyB03000
    Life changing!!
    Jennie Allen has a gift of expressing the Truth of His word in a way that resonates deeply. Every episode I listen to opens my eyes to something, gives me a new perspective, makes me feel connected, or changes me for the better. Thank you Jennie!
  • em778899
    Disappointed
    Can’t help but feel disappointed. I’ve listened to Jennie for years and have seen her live twice… and have really loved her! I recently saw she’s teaming up with Victoria Osteen… which really tainted the view I now have of Jennie’s content and how authentic I always thought she was.
  • Mathnerdjet
    Spurs me on to love Jesus more!
    I have just found Jenny Allen’s podcast, and I have been greatly encouraged, inspired, and challenged by her words. She loves Jesus and wants to share Him with everyone. I love how she is focused on spreading the good news to the next generation. She is spurring me on to do the same.
  • Jenn for Jesus
    She speaks
    I love how real Jennie keeps it. I am an 8th grade English teacher in Texas and I know God wants to use me in my school. I also co-lead a trauma study for abused women and believe God can use me with students who suffer trauma as well…this last sermon I listened to about taking a woman to coffee has just ignited a new flame in me to just start with one. I don’t have to have it all figured out or have a complete study and guide in front of me. God can use me where I am…starting with just one.
  • SuspectSteve
    Back To Basics
    Rehearing the IF: Gathering message on Sept 14, 2023 has really helped me feel some sort of healing and hope for this long disorienting season I’ve been in. I have a long history of being a part of IF: from its early days first hearing about it when filming the Restless study and then as a volunteer in 2015 and hosting IF:Locals… God had really used Jennie and her ministry to inspire me for big ideas and I saw fruit in that , but today I’m reminded that simple obedience and coffee dates is actually what God may have for me and that I should be expectant in that!

    Great podcast

  • brotherbreath
    Must listen to
    Highly recommended
  • Aunna S.
    Reborn Christian
    As a reborn Christian, I have been *so* blessed to be hearing Jennie speak on this podcast. Growing up in a religious Christian household, I didn’t experience the love of Jesus. Now, as a reborn Christian at age 30, her heartfelt words, love for Christ & simplification of it all is what I truly needed. In a world with so much noise & polarization, this is a great podcast for anyone to listen to, but especially for a reborn Christians. Thank you Jennie & the entire team! 💖 Big hugs from CA!
  • bkkyrscnmkyre
    100% RECOMMEND
    First time listening to Jennie and I was not disappointed. I love how simple yet so powerful her messages are. Really speaks to you and leaves you reflecting and pondering working to make a change for yourself and those around you.
  • Cbajo13
    Exactly what I needed
    I stumbled upon your podcast yesterday and decided to listen to the episode on reading your Bible. I cannot tell you what a profound effect it had on my understanding of exactly how to do this. No one’s ever told or explained how to do this, and in a few short minutes, it all made sense. I’m looking forward to many more of your podcasts and learning along side you. Also, considering taking a girl to coffee! Thanks for all you do!
  • Nowieslifeinpics
    A friend invited me to IF Gathering
    A friend invited me to IF gathering local event and that’s when I first learned about Jennie and was inspired by her messages. So happy to find this podcast, love it!
  • kaylavsmiles
    Grateful for this
    I found this podcast when I was searching for a good resource on humility, and I am so grateful to have found it. Manageable lengths of time with deep wisdom and truth that leave me thinking throughout the day. Thank you for discipling women virtually, we are blessed by this!
  • RebeccaAnn12
    Not afraid to share the truth!
    I have followed and listened to Jennie for years. I feel like we’re friends! I believe she has a sincere and pure heart for the Lord. Her latest episode, take a friend to coffee, is what the church needs to do! Small relational discipleship. Yes and amen!!! Being in Gods word is essential to the Christian life and without it we are just floundering on our own volition. Love her and her courage to share what God is opening her eyes to. God bless you and your team.
  • DecorateIt
    Love this podcast! ❤️
    This is the best podcast!!! I always hear God when I listen and it has so much information that we all need to hear in these times we’re living in.

    This is my favorite podcast for so many reasons! I have been following along for awhile but it has helped me grow my faith and relationship with God.

    The very best!
    I feel like I am sitting with my mom and my mentor and my pastor all in. So much wisdom on the most encouraging and real way. So thankful for her!
