Update: Good Wednesday morning, ladies! I closed comments about an hour ago, which hopefully gave each of you the chance to secure your comment to be entered in the drawing. Now I get the joy of announcing to you our 15 winners that were picked completely at random, thanks to a website literally called Random.org. That website comes in really handy when all we want to do is give each of you two tickets, but that’s just not realistic. Grin.
So, in no particular order, our winners of two tickets each to any Living Proof Live event of your choice are:
1. Dana Nuber
2. Susan Wilson
3. Lori Lutz
4. Sherry F.
5. Cindy Cochran
6. Kelley Mansfield
7. Claudia Clark
8. Connie Capps
9. Kasey Hanson
10. Lisa Potter
11. Judy Heindl
12. Sheila Bragg
13. Beth Petrashek
14. Emily Babb
15. Wendy Whitley
Congratulations, ladies! We’re so excited for you! Please contact me (Lindsee) at [email protected] so we can get you squared away. Have a wonderful afternoon!
I’m not sure what you were up to fifteen years ago, but fifteen years ago I was a little 12 year old girl quickly approaching my awkward teenage years. To me, that’s a pretty humorous thought.
Why am I telling you this?
Because fifteen years ago, my dear boss, her good buddy, Travis Cottrell along with LifeWay set out on a new journey that we all know as Living Proof Live.  Many of you have been blessed to attend these conferences.  They were designed to “teach women to love and live on God’s Word.” This year they celebrate 15 years of God’s faithfulness through Living Proof Live conferences. Exciting? Without a doubt!
I don’t know about you, but all of us think that calls for a celebration! And we here around LPM LOVE a reason to celebrate!
So, how does one celebrate around here? Through a giveaway, my friends. Because what says “We’re so pumped!” more than giving away something with zero cost to you? Aren’t you thrilled now?
First off, if you’ve not already seen it floating around facebook and twitter, you might be blessed by this little treasure that Beth and Travis filmed a few weeks ago. (You also might be thrilled to know that Beth prefers to entitle and subtitle this video: “What’s Up With My Hair? Cowlicks For Christ.”) Y’all, I’m dying!

Secondly, because I know you’re on the edge of your seat now, go ahead and take a look at the list of locations that LPL will be traveling to this year. I’ve decided to make it super easy on all of us and list them out right here in this post. Grin.
*Phoenix, AZ – March 22-23
*Greensboro, NC – April 12-13
*Eugene, OR – April 26-27
*Atlanta/Duluth, GA – May 31 – June 1
*Providence, RI – July 12-13
*Sioux Falls, SD – August 2-3
*Bossier City, LA – August 23-24
*Charleston, WV – September 14th (Simulcast)
*Tulsa, OK – September 27 – 28
*Springfield, IL – October 25-26
*Daytona Beach, FL – November 8-9
Now, take a really good look at the cities and dates, do you see any that are within reasonable distance from your hometown? If so, how about you say we send you and a friend to a conference?
So, here’s the plan! We would LOVE to send 15 of you to a Living Proof Live of your choice. Those of you who win will not only win a ticket for yourself, but also a ticket to take someone with you, whether it be your sister, mom, aunt, cousin, BFF or whomever you can think of!
Just a few details you might be interested in knowing is that this is just your ticket to the conference, travel and lodging are details we’re asking you to work out.
To enter the drawing, all you need to do is look at the event schedule listed and in your comment add your first and last name, your email address in the box where it asks for it when you comment (one that is working so we can get a hold of you), and what conference you’d most likely be attending. Does that make sense? Fairly easy I’m hoping!
Lastly, and this doesn’t qualify you or disqualify you for the drawing, but because we’ve recently been asked about it, I wanted to bring your attention back to the Siesta Scholarship Fund. If you’ve read this blog for any length of time, you’ll see us post before each conference with an amount of tickets we’re giving away thanks to the generosity of you, our loving siestas. That fund is still very much open, and you have zero obligation and absolutely no pressure to give to it, but if you desire to bless someone in that way, you can do so by going here. Again, we’re only making mention of it as it is often brought to our attention!
Living Proof Live is actually a LifeWay-driven event, so for all the details and for any questions you have, or are interested in attending and need to purchase a ticket, you can click here. That link will be of much help to you!
We love you ladies! I’ll leave comments open until Wednesday morning so everyone who desires to enter gets a chance!
Now let’s celebrate some good times!
I would love to take my 16 yr old daughter, Amanda, to the event in Springfield IL (Oct 24-25). She has seen Beth on DVD, and really liked her. When Amanda was younger she was really on fire for God, but as a teenager she has been struggling with giving God her whole self and is drifting away. My prayer is for God to speak to her heart, and give her a desire to give herself completely back into His faithful arms of love. Many years back I was blessed to go to a LPL event and God used that event to speak to my heart deeply. I am longing for Amanda to be drawn deeply to Him too, and I can’t think of a better way then with Beth, Travis, and the gang. I’m praying and asking God to make this financially possible, and that He will be glorified through it. Thank you for faithfully teaching God’s word for 15 years!!! PS> I’ll be celebrating my 50th birthday Oct 21st, do you think you could have Travis sing “Happy Birthday” to me. 🙂 Just kidding, but being there would be a great birthday present. Love ya all !

I would love to go be blessed at the Atlanta, GA one!
Eugene, Oregon – That’s the closest to me. What a blast this would be.
I already have bought my ticket to Daytona, FL (It will be my 1st LPL, and I am so excited!) If I win the tickets, I would give them to dear friends who otherwise would not be able to attend, or to my daughter and her friend to attend Springfield, IL. They won’t go without free tickets either. If I win, I will have to pray who to give them to, but either way, it will be a huge blessing! Thanks for having this giveaway!
