About Dr. Allen Hunt:
His story began almost 40 years ago. He was an ambitious young man working for a prestigious management consulting firm on Wall Street. By any measure he was considered successful. His future looked bright and he was a man with a mission: he was on his way up. But his road to the top would be very different than the one he planned on taking. On one cold New York morning as he dashed through the freezing rain to enter the office tower where he worked, he had to pause at the entrance to step over a homeless man huddled on a steam grate trying to warm himself. The stark contrast of the scene stopped him dead in his tracks. In that moment of reflection, he heard the Holy Spirit whisper in his ear. “Allen, when are you going to stop serving yourself and start serving me?”
On arriving home in Atlanta, Allen shared with his fiancée that he was leaving the business world to become a pastor. And that is what he did. Over the next twenty years God’s path led him to earn a PhD in New Testament and Ancient Christian Origins at Yale University, before ultimately culminating in his dream job as the senior pastor of a mega-church in Atlanta, one of the largest Methodist congregations in the Unites States. By any measure he was considered successful.
But there was a longing inside that eventually he could no longer ignore. His search for truth and a deeper relationship with Christ Jesus brought him to another life-changing decision: he would step down from his senior pastor position and convert to Catholicism.
He is now a best-selling author and speaker.
Allen and his wife, Anita, share over 35 years of marriage, two married daughters, and seven perfectly wonderful grandchildren.
