What happens when two globally recognized artists walk away from the spotlight to find peace, purpose, and each other?

In this episode of Who Gave Jeff Allen a Podcast?, Jeff and Carollynn sit down with Rebecca St. James—Grammy-winning Christian music icon—and her husband Cubbie Fink, founding member of Foster the People. Together, they open up about burnout, identity, fame, healing from trauma, the beauty of unconditional love, and what it really means to follow God when the lights go out.

From stories behind Unsung Hero, the new film about Rebecca’s family, to Cubbie’s raw testimony of finding freedom after childhood trauma, this episode is powerful, funny, honest—and deeply moving.

🎙️ In This Episode:
✅ Why Rebecca walked away from music—and how God brought her back
✅ The night Cubbie gave his life to Jesus… and the vision that followed
✅ Behind-the-scenes moments from Unsung Hero (including what’s real and what’s “creative license”)
✅ Honest talk about parenting, therapy, and the fear of never being enough
✅ The moment Jeff’s credit cards got declined—right after being recognized in public

This one’s full of laughter, love, and the kind of faith that’s forged in the fire.
