MS 060 Lisa J. Allen: Church Hurt, When Disappointment Comes and Dreams Die

by Jacque Watkins

Lisa Allen POST PIC

Welcome to episode 060 of Mud Stories!

Mud Stories is a podcast dedicated to bringing you inspiration in your muddiest moments, hope to make it through your mud, and encouragement for you to know, you are not alone.

In today’s episode I’m talking with Lisa J. Allen, speaker, certified life coach, and executive director of ministry training at Proverbs 31 Ministries, currently residing in Charlotte, NC, with her husband and two children.

Lisa helps her life-coaching clients harvest their passions and dreams and identify their unique wiring to help them create a strategy to bring those dreams into reality and leave their mark on this world. Lisa’s passion is to see people reach their fullest potential and live their best life.

In this episode Lisa shares:

  • The mud she faced as she saw her dream die
  • The disappointment that came with church change
  • And how church change led her to church hurt and isolation

Lisa discusses:

  • What to do when it feels like we have nothing and our dream dies
  • How to choose honor instead of gossip and malice
  • Tips for when we don’t feel like “showing up”
  • How our pain can be our greatest gift
  • And hope for our hearts to remember God is with us and working through even our greatest disappointments, always

May you find Lisa’s thoughts encouraging and hope-filled today, enjoy!
