We each grew up in different cities with completely different backgrounds, but God knit our hearts together more than 10 years ago when we found ourselves attending the same church. Over time, our friendship has only continued to grow stronger.\n
\n
\nHaving been there for each other through life\u2019s many ups and downs, we\u2019ve seen each other at our best and at our worst.\u00a0 The conclusion we have all reached is that sharing our \u201cuglies\u201d (our faults, our failures, and our mishaps) has been just as beautiful as sharing our \u201cpretties\u201d (our joys, our victories, and our accomplishments). \u00a0Being REAL and AUTHENTIC is so much more attractive than being PERFECT!\u00a0 Over the years, we have built such a circle of trust that we know that we can be completely honest with each other without fear of judgment, critique, or comparison.\u00a0 By creating that safe place, we have been able to shed our masks and freely be who we are, with no pretenses.\n
\n
\nSociety tells us jealousy and competitiveness hide and simmer underneath the surface of women’s relationships. We believe women can choose to create a different culture! \u00a0A culture where we genuinely and wildly cheer on our fellow sisters in their accomplishments and successes because we know their successes don\u2019t negate who we are! \u00a0A culture that reflects the heart of the Father, where truth is spoken with so much love that even if it\u2019s hard to hear, you reach for it and accept it because your heart has been cared for so well. A culture where you don\u2019t even have to say, \u201cPlease don\u2019t tell anyone,\u201d because you already know they\u2019re not going to. A culture where there’s no competition or comparison and you can literally just BE YOU and breathe, because you know you\u2019re completely safe, accepted, and valued for who you are. \u00a0A culture where you intentionally choose to peel off your masks, because you no longer need to pretend to be someone you’re not.<\/span>\n

Hebrews 10:22-24 (The Message)\n
\n“So let\u2019s do it \u2014full of belief, confident that we\u2019re presentable inside and out. Let\u2019s keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going.
\nHe always keeps His word. Let\u2019s see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out….”<\/center>\n

\nWe invite you into this culture with us. It’s not a perfect place, because God is still working on us. However, we hope that as we openly share our hearts and minds and the things that God is teaching us, you will find a place where you can receive hope and encouragement, as we explore together what it means to live life out loud.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
