Thank you for this episode. I have been working on trying to not dehumanize those who think radically differently from me, so this episode was helpful, not in giving answers, just in recognizing that it is hard when emotions are strong, and the cost of decision making in power structures is so...Read full review »

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.

Just thank you!!! Love changing ❤️‍🩹

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 have so many questions after listening to this podcast. 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 »

Worth listening. Helpful
Colleen Patrick Goudreau via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/11/23
It feels like, as of late, that we are listening in on a counseling session. Dan, trying to help Rachel and it doesn’t, so much apply to the rest of us.
Dalneil via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/21/23
I have been listening to this podcast & reading Dan’s books for a while now. But I just truly love how attuned you guys are to the Spirit. It has happened to me several times now… But today - I felt the Lord bringing up in me the need to rest. I had a long season of effectively sitting in...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 found this podcast via Dan’s guest podcast speaking during Covid-19 outbreak-shutdowns and am deeply grateful for the Team‘s work and time, examples, pauses before answering, transparency and references to the word each time I tune in.
Y Pods via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/23
Dan and Rachel, thank you! I’m a recovering Pharisee from a fairly fundamental church background and would never have listened to you in the past. 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 »

I notice that this podcast copies content from their employees or connections and claims it for their own without crediting the sources.
Brownface30 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/23
This podcast fills a very important gap between conservative theology and modern psychology. I found the episode on bad theology very helpful. I hope they continue to do more work in that sphere. I think bridging the gap between theology and mental health is very important right now. As I have...Read full review »

I need it this in my life! I feel so connected with every conversation, I really enjoy listening to each episode.

I enjoy all of these podcasts, but this one particularly caught my attention. Great exchange between Ian Cron, Dan Allender, and Rachel Chin. I would love to see them do a conference together. Their work is so complimentary to each other. Information very applicable to learning, healing, and...Read full review »

I am an avid listener of the podcasts and find the topics to be insightful and helpful in the main. However the most recent episode (1/21/22) Rachel begins quoting people’s responses during the pandemic I think, saying, “ Oh my God, I’m….” “Oh my God I’m…” and on and on. It’s not the first time...Read full review »

This podcast exposes true dynamics of disappointment and grief we experience in our most intimate relationships. I found it profoundly insightful, helpful and humbling. Dan and Rachel model relational honesty and hope. Thank you!

Very thoughtful and helpful to any of us engrossed n local church ministy. Each of these have caused me to think outside my small box of ministy. Thank you

Dan Allendar and guests are truly a gift in so many ways, thank you thank you for this podcast. Doing the Lord’s work, truly.
crisabel73 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/21
I have to agree with the 1 star reviews. Managing our sin and self protection without bringing in Christ is not helpful to anyone.
areusavedatall via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/01/21
Thank you Dr. Allendar for gifting us this podcast!
TheCeiba via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/27/21
I would occasionally listen to this podcast, however I just can’t bring myself to listen again after Rachel tipped her hand in November and revealed her political opinions. I don’t listen to this podcast to get political opinions. Please keep those to yourself.
ReleasedFromBondage via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/21
I use to be a huge fan of this show until they started dismissing political beliefs that are different than theirs under the covering of their wisdom. To dismiss someone who has been bold enough to go before the people and share their story via an affidavit and say that it is untrue is not being...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.
Marie Marriott via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/02/20
This show is fascinating and special to me. I appreciate Dan and Rachel’s transparency, carefulness, and wisdom. Thank you for the hours spent creating this and keeping the quality high. I thank God for you both!
Cara.95 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/21/20
I do love The Allender Center. I love the work they do. I love the work Dan does. My hope for the Podcast was hearing in on discussions that took us deeper into topics.l without the Christianese that floods the Christian culture. Recently, I’ve found that the hosts sometimes use certain...Read full review »

This podcast has been so helpful for me to make sense of my past. Now that I have an understanding of emotional and spiritual abuse, I can move further into healing. Thank you for talking about trauma and how it affects the mind, body + soul.
juliannewrites via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/25/20
A helpful look at how healing is possible after the trauma of loss of a spiritual community after encountering spiritual abuse. I love the reminder is that God can handle the anger we experience in leaving the place of abuse, plus the reality that no church community is perfect and if we keep...Read full review »

A fabulous podcast indeed!! Diane named the trauma around food, body, and weight stigma brilliantly!! Please have more of these. The trauma of weight stigma is insidious and pervasive, and needs to be named more often.
ALB1006 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/18/20
The March 6 episode on authority is important, timely help. Thank you! It is a “bottom line” topic. We all live in a world system vying for our allegiance and giving it is necessary. But to whom we give it and why is a critical consideration. I appreciate the synergism Dan and Rachel create and...Read full review »

My husband and I are continually blessed by your teaching... Praise Yah for all of you over there and your work at the Allender Center!

I love everything about this app. The topics. The transparency and the diversity. So many prominent topics and such power. This app has validated my life and supported my own personal healing.

There is so much to learn from Allender and his team. I’m grateful for this podcast!
Troy Z via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/18/19
I can’t say enough good things about the Allender Center and their work. I’ve only been familiar with them for about a month now, but I can’t get enough. I can totally nerd out of psychology, but also get the theological standpoint in there too. It’s like chocolate and peanut butter, the perfect...Read full review »

My world turned upside down then right side up after a story workshop at ICAP. I felt like in 3 days God did years worth of work in my heart.

Love this. Powerful. but Dan!!! Please buy a proper microphone and sound equipment!!!! It sounds like you are recording this on a cheap headset... sound echoey, like I’m listening to a phone call on speaker phone!!
Travis Moore, Kansas City via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/11/18
There is so much goodness in this podcast. And...they desperately need an editor and producer. It’s particularly true in interview episodes, but also often when Dan speaks alone the whole time. There’s a lot of meandering that makes it hard to follow. I’ve stopped automatically listening to...Read full review »

It also gives permission to be curious about our story, which will reveal how God has been there throughout our story, hurting over our hurts and...Read full review »

Dr. Dan Allender is good. I really like his boldness, and that he doesn’t kowtow to christian religion. He does kowtow a bit to academic religion. But he does seem much more free than most teaching in, or coming from seminary. I have read almost all of his books, and was delighted to find the...Read full review »
Different Jim M via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/16
I've read many of Dan Allender's books and attended his Story Workshop back in 2009. He's a brilliant, engaging speaker and has a terrific way of communicating in a way that is devoid of cliches and platitudes. It's not an exaggeration to say that his words have, at times, saved...Read full review »
