I don’t think I can possibly overstate how honored we were that 475 brave women applied to (in)courage for the five new voices we were hoping to add.
We read and prayed over every, single application.
You are our people. Every single, dear heart.
We’ve prayed and talked and prayed some more.
And today it’s my mighty honor to introduce the nine women we believe are called to minister to this community and share their stories with you. Yup, turned out to be nine.
I’ve asked them to say hello in their own words – won’t you join me in welcoming them?
Alia Joy
@AliaJoyH
Hi, I’m Alia Joy, and I’m thrilled to be writing with (in)courage. This was the first community I jumped into when I started blogging two years ago and I’m absurdly blessed to be able to share my story here with you guys. A little about me: I’m married to the hard-earned love of my life, Josh, and together we have three kids who I manage to homeschool most days. We’ve made our home in Central Oregon, and I’ve finally made peace with being present even though we have no decent Indian, Moroccan, or Ethiopian restaurants.
I am nothing if not grace-saved and I believe God does beautiful things with the fragments of a broken life. I collect words like trading cards, love coffee with a dependence I don’t want to admit, and am determined to live a beautiful story. I have great hope in the things God does with the hearts of women who love Him. I believe every story matters and love how (in)courage is a place where women can gather to both listen and be heard. I’m honored to be here.
Aliza Latta
@AlizaLatta
Hello there! I’m Aliza! I’m a nineteen-year-old gal from Ontario, Canada. I like to think of myself as an aspiring artist, dreamer, and adventurer. I want my heart to be brave and my spirit bold, and I hope to invite others towards the same.
I went to Rwanda last summer for two months and fell in love – both with Africa and with Jesus. I create signs and prints with my own lettering and fonts, focusing on truth, freedom, and finding courage in the midst of struggle. I can’t even begin to express how excited I am about this opportunity with (in)courage! I am beyond thrilled to be joining this amazing community, and I wholeheartedly thank you for welcoming me here.
Anna Rendell
@anna_r
I live in Minnesota with my husband, our two-year old boy, a baby due at the end of this month, and a big golden retriever. I fell in love with (in)courage about four years ago. While sitting in the cold office where I worked, participating in my first-ever Twitter party {which was hosted by (in)courage}, I discovered that community could come to me via my computer. That it wasn’t isolating to be behind that screen, but life-giving.
My blog became much more intentional after that, the day I discovered that in sharing my stories, other women felt permission to share theirs. I continued to be a part of the (in)courage community, serving as an (in)couragers group leader, co-hosting #inRL gatherings, and joining the leadership team for (in)couragers community groups. But the honor of my words joining in the chorus here? Icing, and blessing, and all grace. Thank you for welcoming me (in). =)
Jennifer Dukes Lee
@dukeslee
Hello beautiful people of (in)courage! I’m already crazy about you. And I am thrilled to be a part of this vibrant, Jesus-loving community. I love what (in)courage stands for (community), who (in)courage stands with (YOU!), and what (in)courage stands on (Christ the solid Rock.). I am Jennifer Dukes Lee, a storyteller and grace dweller. I am author of the newly released book, Love Idol: Letting Go of Your Need for Approval–and Seeing Yourself Through God’s Eyes.
My husband Scott and I live on a farm in northwest Iowa, where we are raising crops, pigs, a herd of cats, an occasional sheep, and two tiny humans.
Joy Forney
@JoyForney
I am a wife of a missionary pilot with MAF {Mission Aviation Fellowship}, and we have been serving for the last eight years on a little island in Indonesia. A week ago we moved to the beautiful country of Uganda. I am the proud mama to five kids, all of whom make it worth getting out of bed each day. I live an adventure of a life that I never would have dreamed and most days would never give up. The days I would give it up are those when we find a python near our yard. Yeah.
I am as vile a sinner as you have ever met, and truly but for the grace of God go I. More than anything I want to glorify the Lord in and through my life, and through this blog. I can promise you that I will get it wrong. But, thankfully, HE and His Word never will. “May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.” Psalm 19:3-4
Karina Allen
@karina268
I am a lover of Jesus! I’m from New Orleans, Louisiana, but have lived in Baton Rouge for the past 15 years. I spend much of my time leading worship at my church, writing, reading, dancing, and mentoring the next generation. I have a huge heart for serving and missions. I am an advocate for the local church especially the one that I attend, Healing Place Church.
I love working out, traveling, photography, and going to concerts/conferences. I truly believe that every woman has a God-sized dream on the inside of them and it is up to an encouraging community to help nurture that dream. My goal in writing is to see women get a revelation of God’s Word and discover how to apply it to their lives in order to walk in freedom and live the life that God intended. But the most important thing to me is to live out the call of Isaiah 26:8 in all that I say and do, “Yes Lord, walking in the way of Your truth, we wait eagerly for You; For Your name and renown are the desire of our souls!”
Liz Curtis Higgs
@lizcurtishiggs
Former Bad Girl, grateful for the grace God offers. Happy wife of Bill, one of the Good Guys. Proud mom of two grown-up kids with tender hearts. Lame housekeeper. Marginal cook. Pitiful gardener.
Stuff I love? Encouraging my sisters in Christ—across the page, from the platform, online, in person. Unpacking Scripture. Traveling wherever God leads. Listening to his heart. Leaning into his embrace.
Renee Swope
@reneeswope
I’m Renee, and I can’t wait to share life with YOU. I’m a grace and coffee addict who loves Jesus and my family with all my heart. My favorite pastimes include walks with my husband, coffee with a friend, or piling in bed with my kids for snuggles, talk-time and a movie.
I married the most patient man on earth 20 years ago. We live in North Carolina with our two teenage sons and a five-year old Ethiopian princess. In 2009, our family traveled to Africa to bring home our severely malnourished daughter at the age of 10 months, and it has changed us forever.
I’ve also grown up with the team of women at Proverbs 31 Ministries for the past 19 years where I’ve gotten to meet some of you through our devotions, radio shows, and conferences. In 2011, I released my book A Confident Heart, and every bit of evidence that I’m quite a mess who has been transformed by the power of God’s love and grace. My prayer is that {together} we’ll lean in and learn how to rely on and live in the security of God’s promises each and every day.
Shannan Martin
@flowerpatchfg
I believe the turns in life that look like failure are often holy gifts, a lesson I have chosen to embrace after the bones of my comfy farm girl life were shattered and rebuilt from the toes up.
Together, my family sold our dream farmhouse, moved to a disadvantaged area in the city, and adopted a 19-year old felon.
Nothing could have prepared me for the joy I would discover as we began to live the simple, messy, complicated life we were created to live. In walking beside the forgotten and broken and seeing first-hand the ways we so cleanly identify with both, my faith was plucked from the mud.
I live with my jail-chaplain husband and our brood on the wrong side of the tracks and blog often.
We’re grateful for these voices coming to share their stories and encourage each of us on our own unique journeys.
Remembering always that no matter how different our stories might be we all share the Jesus who makes all things new in common.
We’re so grateful for His grace and for each of you.

WOW! This is an amazing list of new contributors!
Reading through your short intros, I had tears in my eyes. The sweetness of your words is so touching my heart. I am so EAGER to read more from each one of you!
I recognize several ladies. Alia Joy, I have just been getting to know from the (in)courage writers community group, which is an amazing group, led by 3 amazing ladies (Alia, Kathi and Tonya). Liz Curtis Higgs I got to know from the down on the farm Christmas video with Ann Voskamp. Jennifer Dukes Lee I know from reading so many of her blog posts. A couple others I am sure I have seen blog posts or comments from as some of your faces look familiar. I am SURE I will be reading and commenting on your (in)courage posts very soon. I LOVE the energy of love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control that flows from each of you. The patience fruit is probably there too, but right now it is overwhelmed by excitement, because you are probably as eager to write for us, as we are to read your posts.
God is blessing us all today. Thank you to the (in)courage writers and organizers for all that you do to encourage us, support us, love us, correct us, pray for us … You are all amazing!
Shannan Martin says
Such sweet words! Can’t wait to get to know YOU.
Alia Joy says

I’m so excited for the new writers! I’ve spent periods of my day looking at Flower Patch Farmgirl’s blog and Joy Forney’s blog and I’m thrilled. FPF’s sense of humor keeps putting a smile on my face and I’m giddy with excitement over her adopted family.

I’m looking forward to being encouraged by you ladies. Thank you 🙂
