ABOUT DENNIS
MEET DENNIS ALLEN
A disciple was living out his dream job: flying fighter jets. Eight years in, a heart defect shuts down his military career. Switching into the business world he helps turn around struggling companies and their leadership.
And an eerie thing came to light: the issues that impair employees and the performance of distressed commercial firms also haunt the history of the Church – and modern Western discipleship. But those symptoms aren’t the problem. What’s behind all that? Welcome to The Disciple Dilemma – and leadership’s vital role in countering it!
A six-time Chief Executive Officer specializing in “turnarounds” for Wall Street backed corporations, Dennis has spoken at Universities, churches and conferences focusing on leadership and discipleship. He has been the featured speaker on CBN, Faith Radio, InContext, Focus Today, The Bill Martinez Show, The Pat Williams Power Hour and many others. Dennis serves in businesses and charities, as well as his roles in churches of all sizes – megas, mids and startups – as an elder, deacon and teacher.
A combat-rated Air Force F-15 fighter pilot, and an alumnus of the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics, Dennis lives with his bride Karen in the Washington DC area.
