Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett joins Jeff and Carollynn to talk about politics, faith, and how to lead with grace in a divided world. From social media pitfalls to unexpected Cinnabon campaign strategies, this one’s full of laughs, wisdom, and heart.
What does a Secretary of State actually do—and how does someone stay grounded in faith while navigating politics in a polarized world?
In this episode of Who Gave Jeff Allen a Podcast?, Jeff and Carollynn sit down with Tre Hargett, Tennessee’s Secretary of State, for a candid and often hilarious conversation about public service, political division, leadership, and grace under fire.
From debates over LLC letters and Cinnabon-style campaign strategies, to deeply reflective conversations about God, marriage, forgiveness, and burnout, Tre opens up in ways you rarely see from elected officials.
