This week on Made For This, Jennie Allen sits down with Mart Green, founder and CEO of Mardel Christian Stores, to explore the transformative power of generational generosity and intimacy with God. Their conversation delves into how true generosity is a direct response to following Jesus, and Mart reflects on his three core values, reminding us that “we exist to give it away.” Mart also shares insights from his new book, co-authored with David Bowden, Learning to Be Loved: The Everyday Believer's Guide to a Rich Relationship with God. He emphasizes that you don’t have to chase after intimacy with God; He is actively pursuing you! To wrap up the episode, Mart offers encouragement and practical steps for anyone feeling distant from God. You won’t want to miss it!

This week, Jennie Allen shares a powerful teaching on spiritual warfare from her home church (Watermark) at their Young Adult gathering, The Porch. Pastor Timothy Ateek sets the stage as Jennie dives into the reality of the unseen war around us. Jennie reminds us of the call to be alert and sober-minded, as 1 Peter 4:8 instructs. We can't ignore the battle God has invited us into. She also addresses two common lies: that either everything is the devil, or nothing is. The enemy’s greatest desire is to go unnoticed, but we must be vigilant, recognize his schemes, and fight back. Don’t coast—join the battle as a follower of Jesus!

In this conversation, we hope you’re equipped to recognize the enemy’s schemes and push back the darkness with the authority given to you through Jesus and the power of God's Word.

In this special episode, we pulled Jennie Allen’s powerful talk from IF:Gathering 2023. Jennie opens up about a season in her life where she felt utterly exhausted and shares a thought-provoking question: What if God were coming back in 10 years? How would we live differently? How would we show up? Throughout this talk, Jennie dives into the two questions that have been transformative for her: God, what do you want me to know? and What do you want me to do? And don’t miss the moment when she begins to read Ephesians 6 at the end—it’s a strong reminder of the reality of spiritual warfare and the armor of God.

In this episode, Jennie talks with Jonathan Almonte, Manager of Support Engagement for Compassion in the Dominican Republic. Jonathan shares his powerful story, not just about growing up in poverty, but the spiritual warfare and demonic worship often tied to it. He speaks about how the local church, with the support of Compassion, transformed his life and the lives of many others in his community. Jonathan emphasizes that sponsorship is not just a transactional act—it’s bigger than that. The children and families supported by Compassion need of more than just material resources; they are in need of Jesus. Jonathan also opens up about emotional poverty and how something as simple as letters from his sponsor had a life-changing impact on him. This is a story of hope, faith, and the incredible work God is doing through Compassion and the local church. Join us in partnership with Compassion to release children from Poverty.

In today’s episode, Jennie takes us into the fascinating world of angels. Too often, we understand angels through cultural ideas rather than what Scripture says, so Jennie breaks it down with biblical truth - drawing on what she learned from her seminary class in Angelology. This conversation is a powerful reminder that we are part of a much bigger story and that God has assigned angels to protect, defend, and fight for us. The takeaway? You matter so much to God that He has angels on your side! Have you shopped our favorite Simple Modern Products yet?
