Summary

In this episode, Jennie sits down with her husband, Zac, for a conversation about marriage, identity, spiritual warfare, counseling, parenting, and the core lies that quietly shape our lives.

They also talk about Zac's own journey through depression and burnout, how performance died in him through suffering, and why that freedom changed everything. Together, they reflect on how lies form under the surface, how healing takes real work, and why The Lie You Don’t Know You Believe matters so much.

📖 Book Club starts next week on the podcast.
Read Chapters 1 & 2 before we begin.

If there was a core lie that I was believing, but I didn't know that I believed, but if I found out and did the work to dig it out, that's worth investing it. That's worth trying to find out.

Well, everybody, I am here with my best friend and my husband, Zach Allen.

0:28.9

He's such a hit.

0:31.7

Everybody always wants you on the podcast, babe.

0:35.9

I show up every now and then, because you make me.

0:37.1

I know. Y'all, he used to be a pastor. You used to

0:39.5

have words on the ready all the time. But they were prepared words. I know. Tell everybody why

0:47.1

this always scares you a little. Yeah. So I think it was probably, probably about 10 years ago,

0:53.4

we were doing a marriage talk with some professional baseball players.

0:59.4

And we had prepared the talk and how it was going to go back and forth and what we were going to cover.

1:05.0

And as soon as we got on stage, Jenny, you know Jenny.

1:09.8

She just said, actually, this is where I want to go. And it was

1:15.1

totally off script. I had no idea where it was going. That was wrong. That was more than 10 years ago.

1:21.6

So that was it. That was the last time maybe that we've done something together. I forgot all of that. I'm going to just

1:28.7

do it on my own now. I'm not going to share a stage. You spoke at FCA this week. Oh, yes.

1:33.6

So cute. Tell everybody what you said. It was so good. Oh, I had just gotten back from my 30th

1:39.5

high school reunion. And the overarching conclusion is people don't change. Well, this is terrible

1:47.6

advertisement for everything I do, but keep going. I do believe you can change. And I do too.

1:54.5

But the reality is that... Unless you do the work, it's not changing. Yes. The people that

2:00.3

were following Jesus in high school
