How often do we say to ourselves ‘I should’?
I should… clean out my pantry.
I should… organize the playroom.
I should… go to bed earlier.
I should… join a Bible study.
I should… get together with my girlfriends.
We can’t help with all of those things (sorry, you’ll have to clean out your own pantry) but we can help with the last two!
What if you had a chance to you to jump into a Bible study and have a girls’ weekend… all rolled into one? That’s exactly what we have planned for you this October! A chance for you to gather your girlfriends and spend the day rooted in God’s Word. Together. In person. (in)real life!
At (in)courage, thousands of you have gathered several times over the past few years for an (in)real life experience and now it’s time to do it all again. This year, we’re thrilled to invite you to (in)real life FRIENDED. It’s an event for women of all ages, held live in Nashville, TN and simulcast all over the world.
Who is it for? YOU! And your friends, sisters, co-workers, and church community. It’s for your neighbors, book club, or moms group. It’s for college students and grandmothers, single gals and seasoned wives. Every woman is welcome.
Our heart here at (in)courage is to create a space where you will find yourself among friends. Usually this happens in the comfort of our sweatpants as we gather from around the world in the comment sections of blog posts and social media. But our hearts crave more than the connections afforded through glowing screens.
We want to SEE you! Hug you! Offer you an actual chair and look into your eyes as we share stories of friendship, God’s redemption, and the grit and grace of walking out our faith in community. This is why we’re bringing back (in)real life with a new LIVE EVENT component.
If you’re near Nashville or can get to Nashville, we would be delighted to spend the weekend with you celebrating and learning about God’s design for friendship. OR you can watch the inspiring speakers, panelists, and worship leaders from the coziness of your home or church via simulcast. Watch by yourself, or gather a group of girlfriends, co-workers, or women in your church — it’s completely up to you!
All the fun takes place on October 14th, which is less than two months away! It’s easy to sign up. Just visit the (in)real life site for information on times and tickets.
We are crazy excited for this and want nothing more than for YOU to be a part of it. It just won’t be the same without you. So the pantry and the playroom can wait… but get your tickets today. We can’t wait to see you in October — (in) real life!!

Lisa-Jo,
Praying your event goes well. I’m sure many women will want to see & hear this. In this day & time of rush rush rush go do-it’s hard to make real time for friends. Oh sure we can befriend someone on Facebook, or like their Instagram or tweets. Making time for real honest open friendships is hard. The women will be blessed by your knowledge.
Blessings 🙂
