A nationally known author and speaker, Allen also hosts a weekend talk radio show on News/Talk WSB.

The Allen Hunt Show's focus: It's not what's right or left but what's right or wrong®. Bringing a moral compass to the arena of mainstream talk radio.

Talk radio is a natural fit for Allen. He loves to talk, and he loves people. Plus, he is full of opinions (and maybe a little wisdom too). Prior to talk radio, Allen was a Methodist pastor for nearly 20 years, including 8 years at one of the largest Methodist congregations in America (between 4,000 - 5,000 people attending each week). In January 2008, Allen converted to become a member of the Catholic Church.

Much of his journey has been chronicled in his powerful book, Confessions of a Mega-Church Pastor: How I Discovered the Hidden Treasures of the Catholic Church.

Allen now serves as Vice-President for Strategy at the Dynamic Catholic Institute,

Allen grew up in the mountains in Brevard, North Carolina, and then graduated from high school in Lakeland, Florida. As a kid, he memorized baseball box scores and NCAA tournament pairings.

Before entering full-time ministry, Allen worked in management consulting. One day, while entering a Wall Street high-rise in New York, Allen stepped over a homeless man lying on a subway grating for warmth. At that pivotal moment, God taught Allen that it was time to leave behind his own plans and embrace God's plans for his life. A life of serving others and following Jesus. Allen then became a pastor. And he has never looked back.

Allen and his wife, Anita, met in college at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. Along the way, Anita helped Allen earn a Ph.D. in New Testament from Yale University. Together, they enjoy a life devoted to loving God and helping people discover God's purposes. They have two daughters, SarahAnn and Griffin.
