  • Jen Fulwiler: From atheist to Christian
    Oct 23 2025

    Send us a text

    Comedian Jen Fulwiler joins Jeff to talk about life as a stand-up comic, mother of six, and former atheist who found her way to the Catholic faith. Jen opens up about what drew her from skepticism to belief, how she finds comedy in the chaos of raising six kids, and the unlikely ways God uses our ordinary moments to bring us home.

    The conversation is equal parts hilarious and heartfelt — a look at motherhood, faith, and the power of laughter to carry us through transformation.

  • Hit by a Car to Modern CTO: How Joel Beasley Rewired His Life
    Oct 15 2025

    Send us a text

    At eleven years old, Joel Beasley was hit by a car and might never walk again. Most people would’ve stopped there — Joel went home and started coding. By eighteen, he’d sold his first company. Today, he’s the creator and host of the top-ranked Modern CTO Podcast, advising Fortune 500 tech leaders and proving that resilience rewires everything.

    In this episode, Jeff and Joel dive into what it really means to rebuild — not just a career, but a life — after everything crashes. From small-town beginnings to big-time boardrooms, Joel’s story will have you laughing, thinking, and maybe checking your own excuses at the door.

  • # 29 Why We Disconnect in Marriage (Part 1)
    Sep 10 2025

    Send us a text

    This week on Who Gave Jeff Allen a Podcast?, Jeff and Carollynn sit down with the hilarious and heartfelt duo behind Connection Codes, Dr. Glenn and The Incredible Phyllis Hill.

    After years of misunderstanding and emotional misfires in their own marriage, the Hills discovered something radical — we’re all wired for connection, but most of us never learn how to actually do it. In Part 1 of this two-part series, they walk us through the early days of their disconnect, the surprising discovery that saved their marriage, and why we often mistake “being in love” for true emotional intimacy.

    If you’ve ever felt misunderstood by your spouse, this episode is for you.
