In this podcast, Anna is with Erik Allen, a truly a man of integrity, work ethic, and an overcomer. Growing up with a complicated childhood and broken home, he raised himself from the age of 14. Unfortunately finding trouble along the way 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.\\xa0

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.\\xa0

Along with being the sole provider for his family, Erik is an entrepreneur and avid MMA fan. He has created the best MMA podcast in 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. By lifting others up and giving back to the community and veterans through great organizations like Hire Heroes USA.\\xa0
