Jeff Allen sits down with comedian Chris Guerra to talk about how Facebook nightmares accidentally made him famous, what it’s like to go viral for all the wrong reasons, and how comedy, faith, and failure all mix together in God’s bigger story.

Then, the hilarious team from Oddity Improv joins in for a look at what makes improv both chaotic and sacred — and why laughter might just be one of the purest forms of worship. Finally, Jeff spotlights Christian Creators Collective, a growing community helping believers in the arts use their gifts to glorify Christ.

🎙️ Who Gave Jeff Allen a Podcast? — where faith meets funny, and life’s messiest moments become comedy gold.

This week on Who Gave Jeff Allen a Podcast?, Jeff and Carollynn sit down with the hilarious and heartfelt duo behind Connection Codes, Dr. Glenn and The Incredible Phyllis Hill.

After years of misunderstanding and emotional misfires in their own marriage, the Hills discovered something radical — we’re all wired for connection, but most of us never learn how to actually do it. In Part 1 of this two-part series, they walk us through the early days of their disconnect, the surprising discovery that saved their marriage, and why we often mistake “being in love” for true emotional intimacy.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood by your spouse, this episode is for you.

Before “cancel culture” and TikTok comics, there was the unfiltered, untamed comedy scene of the 80s—and Brad Stine was in the middle of it. In Part 1, Brad pulls back the curtain on the wildest decade in stand-up, takes aim at today’s influencer culture, unpacks generational clashes, and tells the jaw-dropping story of how he met his wife. You’ve never heard comedy history told like this.
