Discover the secret to finding and keeping lasting friendships! In a world where women can unfriend each other with the swipe of a finger, how do we find friendships that we can trust to last? Maybe by first becoming those kinds of lasting friends ourselves. We know that women long for deeper female friendships. And yet, no one can make us quite as unsure about ourselves as another woman. Recognizing this tension, (in)courage and LifeWay are teaming up to present (in) real life FRIENDED, a simulcast event for women that unpacks what makes healthy friendships tick. Because we don't want to give up on friendship. Even when we're frustrated by it. Even when we're hurt by it, confused by it or disappointed in it. This is a chance to change that.
On October 21, 2017, we will bring you a day of real life, real practical tools to finding and keeping friendships that last. This is the event that believes there really is a seat saved for you at the table.
