(In)Courage is a captivating online community, longing to connect women beyond the blog post, not only in real life, but online as well. And we’re so excited to be partnering with them once more as incouragers!
Last session we walked through Lysa TerKeurst’s book, Unglued, as we learned to make wise choices in the midst of our raw emotions. We interacted with one another on Facebook and even hosted a few link-ups for fun. And we’ve been eagerly anticipating this new session, which begins today and runs through April 27!
I’m joining my dear friends, Tracie and Denise, as we walk together through these next few weeks, into the wholeness God has for each one of us. And we can’t wait to (in)courage you!
We are women who have walked and lived through broken places. And because of those valleys we’ve seen God’s redemptive power, love, mercy, and grace move through our lives. We’ve experienced healing, freedom, and forgiveness … and we want you to experience it too.
We’d love to have you join us in discovering the glory God intended for each and every one of us as we dive into the hope He has for us, and into relationship with each other!
This session we’ve chosen to study Angie Smith’s latest book, Mended: Pieces of a Life Made Whole.
Listen in close, as Angie shares a bit about the heart of her book…

I am familiar with brokenness and would love to join your group! I know God is faithful but it seems that when women bond together in unity, His grace washes over us and brings us closer to wholeness, much easier than by ourselves! Bless you for incouraging others…looking forward to healing and wholeness. Now I just need to read the book. 🙂
