(En)courage Devotional

Our Story

Imagine you walk through the door, look around, take it all in, and feel the tensions of the day start to roll off your shoulders in little waves. All these girlfriends waving you in with words of welcome.

You ask, “How did you find this place?” We look at each other, smile, pat the sofa and say, “Get comfy and we’ll share the secrets with you.”

DaySpring, the Christian subsidiary of Hallmark Cards, Inc., has always sought to connect people with the heart of God. In 2009, a talented team of individuals decided to extend that vision to an online community of women.

Our name represents DaySpring’s goal of bringing women into deeper community with Christ and with one another. The (in) means that we are in Christ, connected, and in community with each other. From all of this comes true courage.

It’s the place where you’re always welcome, just the way you are.

We felt called to be real, authentic, brave women for the Kingdom and wanted to connect with other women who did as well.

We asked God to build a team to partner with us and He answered that prayer with over twenty amazing women and a behind-the-scenes team that you’ll love getting to know here too.

At its core, (in)courage is a friend that comes alongside you. We aren’t offering a quick fix for your struggles, but rather, a community and the life-giving tools to equip you right in the midst of the chaos. Through blog posts, book clubs, one-of-a-kind products, and sharing encouragement through all our social media channels, our heart is to help every woman build more meaningful relationships and find herself among friends.
