Erik is truly a man of integrity, work ethic and an overcomer.

Growing up with a complicated childhood and broken home, to raising himself from the age of 14. Unfortunately, finding trouble along the way, desperately trying to fill the gaping voids in his life.

As a young man Erik found himself empty and tired of settling for less. After the feverish pursuit of the Holy Spirit, Erik decided to surrender and trust the One that would never let him down.

Now, Erik and his wife of nearly 19+ years and their two children live in Northern Idaho and live a humble and blessed life. Together they are breaking the cycles handed down to them of divorce, addictions, depression, abuse, and lies. They are leaving a new legacy for their next generation built on a biblical foundation.

On this episode of the Strong by Design Podcast, Jared and Erik discuss the value of establishing and maintaining healthy rhythms, and how those rhythms affect your mind, body, and spirit. 



“A divorce can cause generational struggles to get back on track.” -Erik Allen

There's a powerful idea at the heart of Strong By Design Podcast: true strength isn't just about what you can lift. It's a holistic design, woven into your physical body, your mental resilience, and your spiritual foundation. Hosted by Team CriticalBench, this conversation explores that integrated philosophy, bringing together often-separated worlds. You'll find practical, actionable advice on lifting techniques, meal planning, and recovery strategies, all discussed alongside perspectives on faith, purpose, and personal growth. Each episode features conversations with experts, coaches, and inspiring individuals who share their knowledge on building a capable physique while also nurturing character and conviction. It’s a unique blend where a discussion on protein synthesis might naturally flow into a conversation about perseverance, all grounded in the belief that we are created for wholeness. This podcast delivers more than just workout sheets or supplement insights-though you’ll find those, too. It offers a consistent source of motivation that aims to fortify you from the inside out, encouraging you to see your fitness journey as part of a larger, meaningful design. For anyone looking to strengthen their body without neglecting their mind or spirit, this is a compelling and supportive listen.
