Craving Jesus More Than Netflix with Jennie Allen :: ITA #125

Listen Later

Jennie Allen is a recovering achiever who is passionate about Jesus. She is the author of the new book, Nothing to Prove: Why We Can Stop Trying So Hard, and is the founder of IF: Gathering, which exists to gather, equip, and unleash the next generation to live out their purpose.

Jennie shares about her journey to find freedom from self­-induced pressure by admitting we’re not enough—but Jesus is. 

“The reason I craved Netflix more than Jesus was because I felt God was judging me and watching me fail. I was exhausted and wanted to check out. But, the narrative of God is that He is enough for us.”

  • Why admitting our brokenness, doubt and fear is actually the way to freedom.
  • How the gospel rescued us from a life of striving and comparison
  • Encouragement to enjoy the messy seasons we are in because we have been counted worthy
