Here at (in)courage we like to think of ourselves as “sweatpants people.” While we may live in a skinny jeans world, really at heart we are sweatpants people.
Can I get an amen?
And those are the kinds of friends we aspire to be, too.
Sweatpants friendship welcomes you in just the way you are. On your tired frumpy days, as well as on the days you feel like dancing around the living room. Sweatpants friendship is just as comfortable with your ugly cry as with your victory whoops. Sweatpants friendship is comfortable saying nothing at all, passing the Kleenex, and starting another episode of your shared favorite show.
Sweatpants friendship is quick to give the benefit of the doubt and slow to jump to conclusions.
Sweatpants friendship helps you feel comfortable in your own skin, isn’t afraid of hard conversations, and always makes room on the sagging sofa for one more.
So, on that note we’d love to invite you to join us as we kick off a sweatpants book club about our new book — Never Unfriended: The Secret to Finding and Keeping Lasting Friendships.
Grab some of your sweatpants girlfriends, invite them over for take-out, and put your feet up. Then tune in to listen to me and my own sweatpants girlfriends chat our way through the chapters of Never Unfriended.
I can’t wait for you to meet them!
Will you join us in the Never Unfriended Sweatpants Book Club? Starting April 25, we’ll share a Facebook Live video at 9 p.m. ET (8pm CT/6 pm PT) every Tuesday. Here’s the schedule of my own sweatpants friends who will be joining us as we unpack the book, Never Unfriended:
- April 25 – Ann Voskamp
- May 2 – Holley Gerth
- May 9 – Annie Downs
- May 16 – Crystal Paine
- May 23 – Chrystal Evans Hurst
- May 30 – Jamie Ivey
You guys, this is gonna be so so good. These women are fun and funny and smart and the dearest most incredible kinds of sweatpants friends.
It’s completely free to join this book club, but we need you to sign up so we can add you to our private Facebook group (where we’ll share those weekly videos and other encouragement throughout the week.) We can’t wait to get comfy in our sweatpants and get real about friendship with you!

Lisa-Jo,
Sounds wonderful! Question? Since I am usually up before 5 am. (thus visiting here early), I’m usually starting to head to bed by 9:30. Will the videos be taped and available for replay?
I encourage all of y’all (yes I live in the south) to pick up a copy of Lisa-Jo’s book if you haven’t already done so….so many nuggets of truth to be mined! Be prepared to read with highlighter in hand – as raw honesty is worth remembering 🙂
Blessings,
Bev xx
Yes I like your style Bev! Lisa-Jo I’m also wondering if the sessions will be taped of the fb live as I’m in NZ and I’m not even sure what time that will be over here, but I’d love to join too xx
I so deseperately need to face my fear of being ‘unfriended’. Unfortunately it is hard on me being a HSP and a full blown empath. I tend to isolste myself to cope. Also I am a homemaker in the sense I don’t work outside of the home nor from home. As sweet Bev said 9:30 is too late for me as well since I start getting ready for bed around 9 pm ET. Recording for replay would be nice for us.
I have watched many of the Facebook live videos and yes, after they play live and are complete it takes a little bit and then they are ready to view again soon after. Since we will also be in a private group we should be able to access them really easily.
Thank you for making them as late as you have to make sure all the west coast folks can be included too. This California girl gets home from work around that time. Super excited! Can’t wait!!
Absolutely! We’d never leave anyone out 🙂 The videos will always be available to view, but ONLY within our sweet little private Facebook group.
Yup!! What Anna said 🙂 And I LOVE that you all care enough to ask– we absolutely will have the videos available after the fact!
That is really great, because 9pm EST is 2am here in the heart of Africa, not really the time I will / can be up to follow it live.
It does sound wonderful! I, too, am asking if the times will be recorded for playing at a later time. Tuesday nights is when we are part of a church small group and so I can’t be a part at that time.

Hi Cheryl! The videos will always be available to view, but ONLY within our sweet little private Facebook group. We hope you’ll join!
When will the FB group be available for joining? I already signed up from this blog post.
I tried signing up for the book club but it doesn’t show if it with through or not
If it went through you will get a confirmation email. 🙂
Hi Noelle! Like Katie said, be sure to check your email. We know there’s a little glitch with the form itself, but your information should zing right over to our email list and right back to your inbox. Let us know if you don’t receive an email confirmation!
Anyway to sign up if I don’t do facebook? Sounds very interesting!
This time is a Facebook only book group; so sorry! We’ll share right away if there’s any other new way to join in.
Yes I would be interested as well as I do not have Facebook as well.
I just had a major brain fart and signed up for the Facebook group probably ten times. I was waiting for the screen to change and when it didn’t, I scrolled back up and saw “this field is required” or something like that , so I re-entered my information. I lost track of how long it took for me to have my, “oh, duh” moment, (when I realized that it was there when I signed up, and not to tell me to try again. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Girl you’re fine! You just make sure that you get a confirmation email, ok? And keep us posted if you don’t get one. We’ll get it figured out 🙂
Well, um, I received five, yes, five confirmation emails! Don’t worry! I only confirmed to one and deleted the rest!
I, too, am so excited to go through this book with you all!! A much needed part of the process that I feel that I am in currently with learning to have good friends and BE a good friend. Really trying to overcome the sense of insecurity that began plaguing me as a young girl- and I am 45 years old now! I have also recently discovered that I am an HSP as well (thank you Cheri Gregory!) but others don’t know that… nor do they have time to deal with it! LOL! Thank you Lisa-Jo for writing this book and for the invitation to dive in with you and the (in)Courage circle!
Blessings to y’all!!
What is the reading schedule? I thought it was on here, but now that I want to print it off, I can’t find it!
Very excited to join you !
