About

Welcome to Speak Light + Co!

Thank you for stopping by. My name is Bethany Allen and I founded Speak Light + Co to further the great commission to bringing light and awareness of God's goodness and mercy in a dark and dying world. As a child my family had a ministry called "The Light Company". Through this ministry I was born again as a believer in Christ! As an adult I realize just how much of an impact that this ministry had on me and God has called me to continue on the ministry with His anointment. 

I remember around the age of 13 being called into serving the Lord through what I thought at the time was missions. Over time through life's challenges my faith stumbled and before I knew it I was out of God's Will for my life. Looking back there were times that one would have never thought I was a child of the King. My actions didn't reflect my beliefs. Although I was a believer, I wasn't exemplifying Christ in any manner. But every time I strayed, God was still there. My sinful life led me to a dangerous and almost fatal situation through domestic violence. In this moment I felt the most perfect peace of His words telling "I'm here". I surrendered my life to Him in 2017 and took a step of faith to start over completely. I'd be lying if I said it was easy, but taking a leap of faith is rewarding when it's in God's Will.

"God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called."

The road to recovery was lengthy which included spiritual and mental healing, serving others, and diving deeper into the Bible. God is using my broken past for His purposes and glory. Just remember...There is hope and redemption for every broken person out there. 

So...What's my life now?

I am married to my husband Artie and we have a blended family of 3 children and a doodle named Lola. We are members of 1025 Church and I have been playing the piano with our worship band for the last 5 years. 

As Chair for the Walton County Domestic Violence Taskforce, I advocate for victims of domestic abuse. We raise awareness about the signs of abuse and how to obtain the resources needed to move forward in life. 

God has given me opportunities in the last year and I pray more doors open to share the gospel and my testimony to those who need to hear it. Even more so than ever there is urgency to share the light of Christ in this dark and hurting world...."For such a time as this". 

Thanks for reading this and I pray that you'll join the Speak Light + Co's mission to spread awareness of God's light through our merchandise!

[In reference to Matthew 5:16, we as Christians are called to reflect God's light in this world. God calls us to daringly speak the truth (Esther 4:14), to stand up for what is right (Eph. 6:10), to share the gospel to everyone (Mark 16:15), and to bring glory to His name every day (Psalm 105:1).]
