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.

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.

Jeff Allen sits down with comedian Chris Guerra to talk about how Facebook nightmares accidentally made him famous, what it’s like to go viral for all the wrong reasons, and how comedy, faith, and failure all mix together in God’s bigger story.

Then, the hilarious team from Oddity Improv joins in for a look at what makes improv both chaotic and sacred — and why laughter might just be one of the purest forms of worship. Finally, Jeff spotlights Christian Creators Collective, a growing community helping believers in the arts use their gifts to glorify Christ.

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.
