Seasons of Wrestling

In a couple of weeks — on April 28 in Klyde Warren Park in Dallas, Texas — we are hosting our first IF:Citywide. Our dream is that women who might not be comfortable walking through the doors of a church or joining a small group but — who at the very least — are curious about […]

Owning Our Gifts

Hey. My name is Lindsey. That’s me crouched on the front left with the stripes surrounded by women I get to serve on the IF:Gathering leadership team. Many of them you probably recognize — they lead your bible studies, they takeover your twitter feed for the Olympics, Miss America and the Oscars {and make you cry laughing}, they write […]

IF Is Happening In Your Places

(Read more about it here or skip to the bottom of the post.) You call me out upon the waters So much more fun {I’m getting there Jennie}. So […]

That We May All Be One

I met Jennie Allen for the first time in the spring of 2011. It was my final week serving as the Director of Communications at Thomas Nelson and Jennie was presenting Anything at Thomas Nelson’s Quarterly Sales Conference. Some might say we are an unlikely duo. Jennie is passionate {sometimes I think she might hit […]
