“I don’t know if I’m just stupid but I often have to re listen to episodes because the language they use is so esoteric and nuanced. Using such speech I believe, puts their content out of reach for for the lay person. I have gleaned some helpful insights from the Allender center podcast, but it...”Read full review »

“I love this show and continue to learn and grow. I first experienced Dan’s teaching at Multnomah 30 years ago (and still have my handwritten notes) Thank you for your faithfulness and kindness in leading me into so much healing and more of Jesus here on earth.”

“In the episode, “What is effective trauma care“ Rachel just talked about “Mother God“ and how she envisioned “Her” being comforted by her. Wow!!! Rachel, can you tell us where God is referred to as a feminine Being in scripture? I implore you to reconsider your view on God.”

I’ve learned and been impacted in positive ways over the years through Dan’s books and through the Allender Center courses, but what I just heard is false teaching and I no longer will listen to Dan Allender and Rachel Chen unless they...”Read full review »

“I started to listen to an episode on spiritual abuse. As soon as Rachel brought up her enneagram number, I had to stop. It is pseudoscience and is new age. The enneagram had become so prominent in the church inexperienced spiritual abuse at that, as I learned more, was part of the founding...”Read full review »

I’m 58, which tells you a little about the era of the church I grew up in, and was a pastor for 11 years. I experienced so much harm in that...”Read full review »

“Attempting to be relevant and culturally “woke”- even hip I’m afraid there isn’t much room for Christ, for the Gospel here. Made me sad to hear this shift as our family loved his speaking and books back before this intellectual and social tool center stage over Christ.”
