Allison Allen has always relished the power of story and the thrill of walking in the shoes of others. With nearly three decades of speaking, acting and writing under her belt, Allison loves weaving Biblical teaching and narrative together in unexpected ways for audiences of all sizes, from social media to podcasting to in-person events. Since 2022, Allison has also served as “wing-woman” to beloved Bible teacher (and dear friend) Lisa Harper on her popular Back Porch Theology podcast, where the goal is to help people understand Biblical truth in a “substantive but not stuffy” way. Allison’s two nationally published books, Shine and Thirsty for More (Revell), take readers into Allison’s own experiences with the ups and downs of pursuing God’s purpose for our lives, navigating dry seasons, and finding the beauty in hidden moments, even when they linger longer than we want them to.
