Hi, I'm Allen Parr

My purpose

Do you ever feel stuck in your spiritual life? Perhaps you feel like you’re simply going through the motions but not really growing in your faith. You go to church. You’re part of a life group. You try to read your Bible but it just feels like nothing is moving you forward. I’ve been there and as a result, I have a passion for helping people grow spiritually. My purpose is to help equip Christians with the tools, training and teaching they need to live a victorious life and fulfill God’s purpose for their life.

My Testimony

I was born on November 15, 1975. At the tender age of 6 years old, what seemed like my whole world at the time, caved in when my parents told us they were getting a divorce. Even at that age, I was devastated and confused. Subsequent to that event, my father introduced me to Jesus Christ for the first time at the age of 6. I understood the gospel and accepted Him as my Savior. For the next 11 years or so, my mother faithfully took us to church each week. However, I didn’t have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I never prayed. I never read my Bible. I didn’t enjoy church. And as soon as I went to college and got out on my own, I stopped going. Somewhere around the age of 19 I was discipled by a man who, for the first time, taught me how to study the Bible. From that point on, I couldn’t put it down. I read every book about the Bible I could get my hands on. I listened to every set of tapes, CD series I could find. I was like a sponge.

Engineer....Turned

Preacher

This newfound passion for  studying the Bible eventually led to my first opportunities to teach the Bible in 1998. At the time I was working as an engineer and had a very lucrative career for a 22-year old. However, after 2 years in corporate America, God challenged me with a question, “If money was not a concern, what would you do with the rest of your life?” Wow. This was the defining moment in my life. Was I going to choose comfort and career over my calling? In 2000 I enrolled in Dallas Theological Seminary and began my journey to learn and grow as a minister. After graduating from DTS with a Master of Theology degree in 2004, I became bi-vocational as I worked in ministry part-time and taught high school math full-time. All the while, I had a strong desire to be married and have a family.

My family

Although I had a strong desire to be married since the age of 22, for whatever reason, I remained single for years. This was not my plan. However, I gained so much wisdom that I am now able to share with singles across the world. After a fulfilling yet frustrating journey as a single man, I met the love of my life Jennifer and we got married on my 40th birthday, November 15, 2015. My wife Jennifer and I have two children, Anaiah and Micah. My testimony is an encouragement to anyone who may be frustrated by waiting on God. My life is a reminder that nothing is too hard for God to those who believe.
