EP. 37 | In this powerful Episode 37, Carlton sits down with Allen English, a 29-year-old who went from “I got this” to “Okay God, you got this”. At 27, after years of doing things his way, bad dating decisions, and buying into bro culture, Allen finally answered God’s call—and spoiler alert: it's working out way better than his own plan. Now, he’s not just growing as a MOG (Man of God), but he’s also happily dating a real WOG (Woman of God). If you’re feeling hopeless, overthinking, or praying for a date instead of praying to become the right man, this episode is for you!
