Using Your Unique Gifts to Serve Others | Business with Purpose Podcast EP 306: Paige Allen

Click a timestamp below to be taken to the exact spot in the episode…

My guest today is Paige Allen, a pastor, a speaker and writer. She’s passionate about opening doors for others to have “a-ha” moments in scripture. Paige is known for her sometimes-hilarious yet vulnerable storytelling that disarms 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 more than 17 years.

Currently, Paige 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. 

She 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.

FEATURED QUOTES

You don’t have to have a massive Instagram following or be on a stage or whatever. Jesus sees you. 

Jesus shines a spotlight on you, and he cares about all of those things that are precious to our heart.

I love learning from the experts, but I also love learning from the people right next to us.
