Summary

Today we're joined by Jeff Allen, a born-again Christian comedian and author of “Are We There Yet?” He explains how he went from a life of anger, marital difficulties, and alcoholism, to redemption through the Gospel and surrender to Jesus Christ. Jeff spares no details of the darkest moments of his life, moments that eventually led him to the Lord. As he puts it, “God breaks you for a reason.” He also gives his opinion on some of life’s most difficult questions: What is the key to finding freedom from vices like anger and addiction? Can even the worst marriages be saved? And is anyone beyond redemption?
