In this special edition of Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram, Chip sits down with best-selling author, and speaker – Jennie Allen. She’ll share how Chip’s book Holy Ambition changed her life and helped jump-start her own ministry, that impacts countless lives.
Introduction to Holy Ambition: Chip and Jennie discuss how God brings heart-placed dreams to reality.
Heart Dislocation & Strategic Action:
- Jennie's heart was "haunted" by spiritual bondage in women, fueling her evangelistic passion.
The Cost of Obedience:

- God used this pain to purify her motives and deepen her faith, protecting her from spiritual corruption.
- Emphasizes that pain is essential for profound spiritual growth and broad impact.
True Holy Ambition:
- It's about obedience to God's unique calling, not seeking fame or platform.
