This is the second conversation I have had with someone about how the nameless women in the Bible have impacted how we can see ourselves today. Today's guest, Paige Allen, wrote a book that comes out today about seven of them. We talk about how these women were not looking to have their name in lights, they were just looking for and wanting to be with Jesus and be known and acknowledged by Him. I think this conversation will be so helpful to anyone who has been seeking acknowledgment from the world around them and has been finding emptiness and insecurity. The prayer that Paige and I both have for you as you listen today is first you would seek God with your everything you are and second that you would feel known, acknowledged and loved by the One who came and died just for you.
Bio:
Paige Allen is a pastor, speaker, and writer who is passionate about opening doors for others to have ah-ha moments in scripture. She is known for her sometimes hilarious yet vulnerable story-telling that disarms the audience in order for truth to settle in hearts. Paige grew up as a pastor’s kid, and although she thought she would try and stay away from vocational ministry, she’s now served on the same church staff wearing multiple hats for over seventeen years.
Currently, she serves as executive pastor at Church on the Rock in Lubbock, Texas where she preaches often, leads the staff, gives oversight to global missions and The New Legacy Home for Women. Paige also leads a thriving women’s ministry and co-hosts the Bloom Talks podcast, where unknown but remarkable women tell their stories of God’s faithfulness.
She has a Masters of Divinity degree from The King’s Seminary and she published a bible study called Road Signs in 2014 that explores the ups and downs of trusting God.
She has always loved traveling to the nations and seeing God at work around the globe. She founded Pursue Missions in 2007 with a simple yet daunting goal of infusing God’s heartbeat for people into the fabric of COTR and West Texas. Pursue Missions now oversees both full-time missionaries stationed around the globe and multiple short-term endeavors each year. Paige has travelled and preached in more than twenty countries and she is passionate about seeing the unreached and often forgotten hear of His love.
Paige has been married for over twenty years to Josh, a man with an amazing ability to connect with people and an entrepreneurial spirit that is inspiring. Together they have two awesome daughters, Selah who is observant and the most loyal friend and Haven, a natural born preacher who starts dance parties everywhere she goes.
