Show Notes:
What is it that you think is holding you back from your dreams? Maybe you think you don’t make enough money, or you don't have the right connections, or maybe if you didn’t have your health challenges, or didn’t come from a broken home, or you hadn’t messed up when you were younger, or...fill in the blank. You know what’s funny about all of those things though? They’re all just in our heads. Chances are you could change your life right now if you were ready and willing to really change. It could happen in a single moment and our guest today is living proof that that can happen to anyone because that’s exactly what happened to him.
Our guest today is Erik Allen. Erik is truly a man of integrity, work ethic and an overcomer. Growing up with a complicated childhood and broken home, to raising himself from the age of 14. Unfortunately finding trouble along the way while desperately trying to fill the gaping voids in his life. As a young man Erik found himself empty and tired of settling for less. After the feverish pursuit of the Holy Spirit, Erik decided to surrender and trust the one that would never let him down. Once Erik gave his life to Christ, his life completely turned around. He met a beautiful woman and a new chapter was written. Now, Erik and his wife of 16+ years and their two children live in Northern Idaho and live a humble and blessed life. Together they are breaking the cycles handed down to them of addictions, depression, abuse, and lies. They are leaving a new legacy for their next generation built on a biblical foundation. Along with being the sole provider for his family, Erik is an entrepreneur and avid MMA fan. Which he has created the best MMA podcast of the northwest. He believes in giving back and honoring those that have served our country. With his companies Top Rated MMA and The Erik Allen Show he is able to do just that. Erik might have been dealt a rough hand, but with the help of his Heavenly Father and a humble heart, Erik is taking each day as it comes and making it count.
