The Discipleship Dilemma with Dennis Allen

Is there a discipleship dilemma? Are you concerned with the current state of the church? Would you like to see a return to and refocus on disciple-making? Our guest this week is Dennis Allen. Author of the book, The Disciple Dilemma, in which he explores these concerns, trends, and offers a way forward. Dennis has held a vast array of leadership roles, from F-15 fighter pilot to a 6-time CEO, also serving with non-profits and churches.

Through his writing and speaking, Dennis encourages and challenges Christian leaders in all sectors to rethink and return to discipleship as Jesus intended. “The journey of a disciple,” is not to be relegated to the pew on Sunday mornings but is to be lived out in all areas of life. This presents us as Christian leaders with an opportunity to return to the essence of discipleship in order to help our people stay on the right path. Join us for this important conversation.

A six-time Chief Executive Officer specializing in “turnarounds” for Wall Street-backed corporations.

As well as his efforts in churches of all sizes – megas, mids, and startups – as an elder, deacon, and teacher. A combat-rated Air Force F-15 fighter pilot, and an alumnus of the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics. Dennis lives with his bride Karen in the Washington DC area.
