💠 About: In this episode of The Good Grief Good God Show, Brad Warren sits down with Jake Allyn, an actor, writer, and director whose work explores faith, identity, and the moral complexity of broken systems. Jake shares the deeply personal story behind a film he has been developing, a project that centers on a law enforcement officer forced to confront the limits of the justice system when addiction hits his own family. Told from the perspective of a filmmaker rather than an advocate, the story wrestles with accountability, compassion, and the emotional toll carried by those sworn to uphold the law. The documentary is still in development, with no release date announced.
From his Texas roots and football career at Cornell to his work in television and film, including The Quad, No Man’s Land, and Ride, Jake reflects on how storytelling can open honest conversations about addiction, faith, responsibility, and redemption. This is a raw and thoughtful conversation about the tension between duty and grace, the cost of silence, and why some stories refuse to let go until they’re told.
