Leading Conversations

Conversation with Chris and Shelly Allen


Listen Later

Faith gets real when the plan stops working. We sit down with Chris and Shelly from Dayton to trace a path that starts in youth ministry, runs through bold church-plant dreams, and lands in the tough middle: excellent services, strong systems, packed community events, and a stubborn attendance ceiling near seventy. What keeps them going isn’t hype. It’s a record of specific prayers answered with uncanny precision—like a flat tire that led to a dark green Durango with black leather, arriving exactly when they asked. Their stories aren’t props; they’re a blueprint for how leaders can ask clearly, wait honestly, and move only when God says move.

If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a leader who needs courage, and leave a review with one specific prayer you’re committing to this week. Your story might be the next one that builds someone’s faith.
