    I Choose Joy
    I needed this today! Thank you Chip and Jennie. I hear you God and I am listening. This is what I needed and it spoke to me. Praise God! My focus has been on me, not Him. Now I can refocus and move forward. ☀️🙏💙

    Inspirational
    This podcast has truly inspired my life and how I want to live it for God. Jennie is so encouraging and real and I connect with her and the topics her guests speak on every.single.episode. I feel blessed to have this tool she’s gifted us and that I may carry it forward for God’s purpose for my life.
  • Meghan WV
    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!
  • Hevenly girl
    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!
  • Tizzy-Liz
    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.
  • Marisasreviews
    Bite sized encouragement
    Been listening to this podcast for a while and just love the truth and encouragement in it. I appreciate Jennie’s realness and authenticity, and I always feel convicted and strengthened by what she shares.
  • agsands
    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!
  • Montana 102
    Encouragement
    Jennie & her team encourage me every week. I’ve been listening to her from the very beginning. This podcast speaks life to me & my friends because I pass on all the episodes. I’m thankful for how God has used Jennie in so many people’s lives. Keep doing the work God has called you to do! God Bless from one of your followers in Montana!
  • Momofmacyandcharlie
    Such truth!
    Thank you, Jennie. Thank you for speaking truth over our lives. Thank you for making a difference in your podcasts. I appreciate your sacrifice to produce thoughtful and life changing content - always pointing us to Jesus. He is worth it! 🩷
  • KatiecLight
    Trying to get out of my head😂
    Jennie,you and your team are helping me get through a disastrous year of an OCD resurgence. Reading your books lead me to your podcast and I’m so blessed by your honestly and blessed by God through your guests and all that makes up Made For this! I pray God continues to give you wisdom and guidance for those of us that are in a season you were made to lead us through!

    What a blessing!
    I discovered this podcast about 2 years ago. It has been SUCH an encouragement to my faith! I look forward each week to the newest episode!
  • Bucciraines
    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!
  • hyeyuoknxzw
    Helping !
    I have been listening to Jennie Allen for a while . She is very up lifting and gives a better under to life’s journey. How we are here to share a life with Christ. There is hope in all darkness. The people who join here are very uplifting to our daily walk for ours to know more peace and a future.
  • sjsturkey
    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
    Really enjoy this podcast!
    Jennie, I just want to say thank you. God has used you and your story to speak so much truth to me. You have been such a blessing. -Bella
  • DiannaPlantan
    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.
  • jtunc88
    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!! ❤️

    Wow-Nov 11 Jennie’s voice memo
    Jennie- This podcast was exactly what I needed, and I listened on Jan 1,2025. God is so faithful! I love you and your ministry!! Thank you for your obedience to the Lord! Your ministry has made a huge difference in my life and the ministry God has called need to.
  • Tara Kaye 82
    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!
    Jennie and team-your work is changing lives including mine. Thank you for being real and sharing your struggles. I now know that I don’t have to accept the darkness—I can fight back with the power of Jesus!! This season was the best yet!!
  • Nana Dawn x 5
    Love these!!

  • Chelle Tav
    Therapist and author
    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!
  • Amber Lee is me
    Love this show
    Would love to hear you speak in Michigan.
  • Nicolemadison17
    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!!
  • J2TW1981
    Coffee Bestie
    I heard you speak at a women’s conference in VA in Oct and instantly knew you would become my coffee bestie (you know that one thing that is “yours” while getting dressed and drinking coffee while the house sleeps 🤣) I immediately started listening to your podcast and you speak truth in such a honest raw way. I follow all your Ignite Posts, Prison Ministry, and can’t wait for Gather25, oh and I just got UYE!! I’ve literally tried to plan a trip to see you Live in Jan, but SC is just a bit too far! Wish I had found this sooner, but I’m loving that I have so much to catch up on, no waiting weekly for me! It’s binge “Jennie” time! I pray Gods blessing on you and your team! Y’all are impacting so many!
  • Mamie H9
    So encouraging!
    Jennie’s podcasts are encouraging and helpful. She is brave and honest-just what we need today!
  • Jackson Shivers
    KEEP GOING!!!!
    I’m so grateful for this podcast! Jennie has a unique ability to passionately speak truth while simultaneously pulling back the curtain into the real and messy days of living out our faith in Jesus. The Holy Spirit used this last ‘voice memo’ episode to speak loudly to my heart and encourage/strengthen my soul and I’m so thankful. Keep going!!!!! Where else are we going to go?? 🙏🙌🤍 Holly Shivers

    Podcast
    This is such an amazing podcast , I love listening to it. Such words of encouragement and wonderful testimonies and also letting me know I am not alone in feelings that I have.
  • new podcast girl
    Blessed by obedience
    Last night I was laying in bed, not sleeping, so I turned my attention to praying. I’ve started praying about how I can begin to process, talk and share about the roller coaster I feel like I’ve been riding the last couple months, more highlighted the last week. I then wake up and find an email in my overloaded inbox about a new podcast out, and that Jenni basically put my thoughts and prayers into this podcast. Jenni, thank you for leaning into the One who you follow. Thank you for encouraging us in the midst of what is disappointment in the now. It has blessed me and many others. Thank you to the team that rallies with and supports her to be able to do Kingdom work.
