On Leaving and On Looking Ahead to the Uncomfortable Unknown

Yesterday I posted a picture of me packing up my office. And several of you guys were like, “Um, what?!?” So here’s a little bit of what’s been happening in my life and in my heart. A week or so ago I resigned from my role as COO and Strategist of the IF:Gathering. Yep. BIG change. […]

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 […]

Austin, Texas — The Short List

The places to go. The things to eat. Updated for IF:2017.

In a couple of weeks, we are going to have a couple thousand friends from around the country, from around the world, visiting the wackiest and most endearing city in the world for the IF:Gathering. My hope is that each visitor will fall in love with this city I love so much and return often. {Heaven knows, we don’t need […]

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 […]

2014 In Review

Wow. It’s been a year. I feel like the several years {2o10, 2011, 2012, 2013 and now 2014} have been YEARS. You know the kind  of years that give you grey hairs and make you realize you are getting older, and a maybe just a bit wearier. As life has sped up {and the interwebs […]

Here We Go Again…

Man, this one is a hard one to write and I’m not quite sure why. Maybe because somehow blogging about it makes it feel more real? Maybe because I know it will provoke questions I am not ready to answer? Maybe because I know some of your reading this should have heard it directly from me […]

What IF We Could All Gather As One?

Hey guys. I’m guest posting on (in)courage today about Jennie Allen, the If:Gathering and the idea that we might all gather as one. Hope you’ll go check it out. 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 […]

Join Us At The If:Gathering, Virtually Or In Austin

I have written a few posts over the last few months about the IF : Gathering. I wrote about it here and here. It is something I am honored to be a part of. Honored. I have always been a little timid in large groups of women. Maybe it’s me and my singleness? Maybe it’s […]

Where Feet May Fail

It’s been a crazy couple of years. What was once a casual conversation between friends and colleagues around gathering like-hearted women has become so much more. (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 […]
