    Freedom and Peace
    I’m not sure I’ve made it through an episode of Made for This without tears! You know, those tears that come from experiencing the freedom and peace that only Jesus can give us. Every episode brings a reminder of who God is and who I am in Him and how this allows me to walk through all the grief and suffering of life with freedom, peace, and hope because I walk in the unforced rhythms of Gods grace. Jennie and her guests are humble and real as they share their own experiences that we can all relate to. For the past 8 years I’ve felt beat down by my trauma and the heavy weight of life in this fallen world. Like Jennie says, the ONLY way through is Jesus. I know this firsthand. P.S. let me know when you want me to be a guest, Jennie! (Hehe)

    The Ring of Truth in a World of Deception
    How is it that time after time these podcasts hit me with what I need to hear? Today’s topic on loneliness was not a series of words to make me feel better, but a challenge to live up to what God has created me to be: someone who reaches out to another to invite them into a real relationship of truth and grace. How better to be salt and light, as Jesus says I am, in a culture that pressures me to be someone else? While listening to this podcast several people and situations came to mind, to start being my real self and to invite someone else to be loved and accepted. Thanks, Jennie.

    Encouraging
    Hey Jennie! I have been listening to your podcast for a while now and I absolutely love your heart for God and for people. I recently listened to your latest podcast with Maddie and it really encouraged me to start my own bible study group. I was wondering if you could do a video on how to lead a bible study group. I study the word on my own but how do I go about it in a group setting? Thank you for just being you and being such light for God!

    Favorite podcast
    Jenny is a great speaker as well as the guests she has on her show. I regularly share her podcasts with other groups and people in my life. She’s my running buddy (even though she doesn’t know it). She comes along with me for long car rides, and joins me when I fold clothes. Jenny and her guests have spurred me on to advance the gospel. Thank you Jenny, for all you do!

    Lifeline
    I absolutely love this podcast. Jennie is so real and humble. I find so much encouragement and wisdom listening to her and her guests. I love the title Made For This because it is so accurate. Jennie voraciously goes after what the Lord has called her to do and inspires me to do the same. Thank you, Jennie for leading the charge.
  • It’s AG
    Look forward to it every week
    Made For This has been a true blessing in my life. I’ve been listening to every episode every week for over a year now and the encouragement and timing of some of these have gotten me through brain surgery and tough medical diagnoses and it’s been a true blessing. I’ll forever be grateful to Jennie and her team! Thank you so much!

    Sin and Surrender
    Jenny and Chloe thank you for uplifting, convicting and challenging me in my faith! This podcast is a breathed on by the Lord! The episode from 4/22 really helped me look at how I need to decrease so Jesus can increase in me! ❤️

    Suicide
    This is the show I have found most comfort when looking for information on depression and suicide from a Christian perspective as we walk through this with someone close to us.

    My Go- To
    Thank you for being refreshing, relevant and oh-so genuine. This is my go-to podcast to re-align my day or week with what God may be saying to His kids on the planet- in a practical application kind of way. Love it!

    Always Uplifting!
    I love you, Jennie Allen. Have been listening to you on Made for This for years and still such a fan!🤩 Thank you for your inspiration, encouragement, and providing Christian based biblical knowledge about everyday life. Your podcast has gotten me through some tough times in the past few years of my life plus helped me learn even more about who Jesus is! The guests you have on your episodes are really great too and I am never disappointed in any episode. The work you are doing for the Lord has to be building others up as well; your pod always keeps me wanting more!
  • JgayL
    Thank you!
    Jennie, I love the truth in your podcast and how candid and real you are. Your book, Restless, spoke to me so clearly many years ago and helped me begin the process of writing a book. I’ve just finished the manuscript and I want to thank you for your part in my journey. God is so good!

    Let’s go!
    You know when you’re sitting at a youth football game and they start playing “We ready (No. 2)” to hype the players and you feel your adrenaline spike as you move to the edge of your seat, that’s how I feel when I hear Jennie say “Let’s go” during her intros. This podcast is the real thing. Grounded in biblical truth addressing all the hard and real things people face in this life with grace and truth. If anyone asks for a podcast recommendation, this is always top of my list!
  • Bella Brubacher

    Thank you
    I hold all you in my heart. God has used you many times to encourage, remind, stretch and admonish.
  • Tina Fisher
    Purposed and Passionate
    Jennie Allen is one of the most passionate people I love to listen to. She shares God’s word in a way that reaches truth while not glossing over our very real struggles. She’s conversational, honest, and full of fire for God.
  • addgjokb
    Life changing
    Life changing sounds corny but this podcast is legit. It’s Jesus. It’s the Word. It’s a strong woman knowing exactly who she is in Him, standing on the truth and screaming it so everyone can hear. Listen y’all. God is good and this your reminder.
  • lizzieie1414
    Best pod ever!
    Always feel the perfect mix of encouragement and conviction from this pod!
  • MasPA21
    Passionate Obedience!
    One of the things I love so much about listening to Jennie is not only the biblical, truthful and honest content, but the passion that God has given her that she so heartily displays. When I feel the need for a little spiritual fire, I know that I can listen to one of her talks, and my heart will be lit again. Thank you Jennie for being willing to obediently do what God has called you to do.

    Fight
    My sister sent me the episode of “The Lies We Believe”. So powerful. We are a nation of warriors & everyday we fight for others but never for ourselves. This was a big eye opener. I am convinced that Jesus sent this to me specifically today. I urge you to give it a listen. Satan is a liar but you serve a bigger God & He came with scripture. Thanks Jennie for reminding me.
  • joysl70
    Thank you for this!
    So relatable, you get better & better. I love when I listen & rush to find a pen to write a note about what you or your guest share! And to beBiblical - putting the verses to action!
  • Jody Monkus
    Truth teller with a smile
    I love that each time I listen to Made For This with Jennie Allen I am covered over with truth! Truth that encourages, uplifts, and challenges me. I can see her in my mind’s eye speaking with intensity but with a face full of compassion and joy.
  • BecomingAnAngel
    Down to earth & helpful
    I have found everything that Jenny Allen teaches to be very down to earth & relatable. She explains concepts in a way that is easy to understand & learn from. Just learning how to reframe thoughts in my mind is a game changer. Surrendering to God every detail of our lives & what’s going on in the world is so key. This app breaks down different topics of focus & helps me to go deeper into my faith & healing. Many thanks to Jenny & her team for allowing God to use you to bless so many of us. 💗🙏🏼

    Season of emotions
    I have heard most of the emotional episodes within this past week and they have helped me so much in this season I’m in right now in my life. God is using you to help me and speak to me. This weekend Im looking into getting the 2 books! Thank you! God bless you sister ❤️😊🙏🏼
  • LarisaAnn
    Love Jennie!
    I absolutely love Jennie and this podcast. Once I read “Get Out Of Your Head” I couldn’t get enough of her teachings. I have recently started by listening to one of her podcast lessons everyday. I have shared many of the episodes and her books with several of my friends. Keep up the good work for the Lord. And can’t wait for the gathering.
  • Cali.girl.for.life
    Trajectory shift!
    Jennie you woke me up when I tuned into If: in 2014. I read Anything and did the Restless study and within a couple months my life had been wrecked forever. (In a good but terrifying way)Living outside of the template is really hard and scary, but I’d choose it again and again. Thank you for continuing to share from where you are.
  • Brittany Gibson1
    God is using you in BIG ways
    I got invited to do a bible study at the beginning of last year. I didn’t really know these girls or anything about the Bible study but I felt God pushing me, so I said yes. That’s how I found you, Jennie. We did the untangle your emotions bible study and I still to this day recommend it to everyone I know. It completely changed my prospective on my relationship with Jesus. I feel like I now could write a book on how my life has changed since reading your books and listening to your podcast. You have such a beautiful way to connect your readers with Christ. Thank you for continuing to do everything you do and not giving up. I can’t thank you enough for bringing my closer to Jesus and helping my family. May God continue to bless you!! ❤️

    Jennies nov 11 voice memo
    I cried my way thru as it was exactly what God needed me to hear. I’ve been struggling thru the past thru months and dealing with panic attacks and being a teacher. I thought I had made it through this battle last year so it coming back has brought so much doubt and sadness. This message was just what I needed 🙏🏼💕 thank you for the real and raw and vulnerable.
  • Gina_C_99
    So encouraging!

    Deep thanks for your words of wisdom and encouragement! I’m a Christian therapist and writer and I’ve given, as homework, chapters of your books and podcasts for clients to read and listen to for comfort and education. I plan to host Gathering in my home in 2025!

    Transformational
    This podcast has blessed me for years as I’ve transitioned throughout my life. Currently in the early years of motherhood. Recently it has transformed my morning time with God to one where I pray over my family, praying protection from the enemy, praying against temptation, and praying for a shield of angels to surround us. Thank you Jennie and team for reminding me of the power I have through the Holy Spirit to make a difference in my family!
  • Monday Mae
    Jennie is amazing!
    She has a true heart for Jesus! Her insight and vision will truly help spread the Gospel around the world.
  • Tori.Humphreys
    Thank you for consistent life changing content
    Your podcast series with Jamie Winship last year completely sent my life on a different trajectory. I’ve sent it to more people than I can count. In fact, the whole course of our family business changed as a result too. Just a message to say thank you and keep doing what you’re doing. You’ve shown me that it’s okay to show up WITHOUT all the answers and just lead from a place of complete reliance on the Spirit. What a release of pressure!!
