(in)couraged to hope {post one}

I’m so excited to be a part of the (in)courage community in this way! What could be more fitting than being an (in)courager?! And when I found out Jacque and I were paired together, I knew God’s hand was in it!

Just a couple months ago, I met Jacque at the SheSpeaks conference. She lives in California and we felt as if we were kindred spirits from the first moment we started talking. And even more so as we began to prepare this study for you.

About Us

We are women who have seen and walked 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 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!

And to do just that, we’ve chosen to study New York Times best selling author, Lysa Terkeurst’s new book, Unglued – Making Wise Choices in the Midst of Raw Emotions.

And we can’t wait to (in)courage you!


Here’s a quick introduction of Lysa’s study, and a little about what you can expect:


We’d love to have you join us here each week! And you can participate at whatever level you have time for.

Join us each week for our summary post,

Join our Facebook community,

And/or purchase Unglued and the Unglued Participants Guide.

We’ll be taking turns posting each week from both the book and participants guide, and here’s what you can expect:


October 2 – Introduction :: Tracie
October 9 – Grace for the Unglued {chapters 1 & 2} :: Jacque
October 16 – Freedom for the Unglued {chapters 3 & 4} :: Tracie

October 30 – A Procedure Manual for the Unglued {chapters 7 & 8} :: Tracie

    I’m so excited to join this group! I just finished “What Women Fear”, and I’m so looking forward to this book! Like so many others, I’m one of those running-in-twenty-different-directions-while-the-kids-are-running-in-the-opposite-direction moms who’s looking for a way to keep life from de-railing. Needless to say…I can’t wait to start this journey with all of you! =)

    This was a stumble upon morning and I know God was leading me to this group. I look forward to meeting new friends and growing in my walk with the Lord. And if I can stay unglued in this season of my life…wow.. it will defiantly be a “God thing!”

    I’m so excited to join this group! This is like an answer to a prayer I didn’t even know I had. :) I’ve been struggling to find a Bible study in my own community that works with my schedule and childcare needs, and was a topic close to my heart. This is what I’ve been waiting for! I am so excited to get to hear the stories of other women in this group. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this happen.

So excited to start!

    Wow! God is so good! I logged in to find a study I could do with my daughter about this very topic. She is having trouble dealing with her emotions (Just like her mom, me!) and I want to help her so badly while she is young. Its been a lifelong struggle for me. Can’t wait to get started. Thanks so much. I requested to join the facebook group. Anything else I need to do?

    I am excited to give this a try. It is my first virtual book group. As we head into fall up here in Wisconsin I can feel the light change already hitting my emotions. I dug out the book and am going to start reading tonight. Thanks for the gentle push.
