“We are hungry for authenticity and vulnerability, not churchified life hacks from lady magazines. Some of us are drowning, suffocating, dying of thirst for want of the cold water of real community. We’re trying really hard – after all, we keep showing up to your lady events and we leave feeling just a bit empty. It’s just more of the same every time.” ~Sarah Bessey, In which I write a letter to Womens’ Ministry
This article challenges me and makes me think hard about what I’m writing and teaching.

Hi Kim, been thinking about you. Those are some great quotes. I've been meaning to write and ask you about the (in)courage thingy you were hosting. I'm sort of out of the loop with these things and don't really understand how they work or what they're about. 🙂 Not to mention that I've been crazy busy. But anyway, besides all that, I'm hope you're settling in to your new home. Blessings. Jodi
Hi, Jodi! Basically (in)Real Life is like a one day women's retreat/conference thingy 😉 Rather than have an (in)Courage conference, they decided to have women sign up to host the get together. There will be a number of sessions featuring the (in)Courage writers via webcast starting Friday and continuing Saturday. The Saturday part is what I'm hosting at my house (along with the other 425 hosts! Would you like to come?!
