Have you ever had a front row seat at a concert or sporting event? These are the very best seats in the house where you can almost reach out and touch the artist and you find yourself swept up in the action. Your experience is so amazing you can’t find words to describe it except–awesome.

For the past few months I have had a front row seat of sorts watching about 100 women lead and love on women in online communities over at (in)courage all in the name of Jesus. They have given up of their time, invited, and encouraged women beyond the blog post. They have been adventurous and genuinely cared for others. They have been all heart. They are called (in)couragers for a reason.

This quote by Beth Moore recently made me think of them:

We can love each other better. Let’s do. People have enough hurt. Let’s be careful with one another.”

They exemplify this challenge by Mrs. Moore because they love well. They inspire me every day in my real world life as well as my online presence to do the same. It has been an awesome thing to watch them do their thing.

Next week, (in)courage is hosting an online and in real life conference called (in)RL and the sweet women called (in)couragers will be a featured story. Here is a short clip of this feature: {They even let me be in it, too!}

(in)RL starts Friday April 26 with an online keynote presentation. The theme this year is centered around “Staying in Community When it is Hard”.  Then on Saturday April 27, we will meet up locally all over the world with women in our own communities. I’m going to be at this one, if you are a local, come out and hang with us. If you live somewhere else —just about anywhere else—you can find a meet up near you right here. Why don’t you register and join us? The sweetest part is it is FREE and you might just meet a new friend. I know you will be encouraged.

Will you be there? I can’t wait to hear about it!  I’ll be helping out a little behind the scenes, so be sure to follow me on Twitter at stacey29lincoln and incourage while #hashtagging your tweets and images on instagram #inrl.

Let’s all have a front row seat and go beyond the blog post in real life!
