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 attend the one in Atlanta! 🙂 and the tickets would be an Ephesians 3:20 blessing!
It would be a blessing and honor to take my daughter for her 14th birthday to Greensboro, NC! It would be the first LPL event for us both!
I need a refreshing. Atlanta/Duluth
Daytona Beach, please!

Hope I can go to the Atlanta conference. Would love to take my mom (just retired from 50 years as pastors wife-still a wife.-but he’s not full time pastor!!)
And my friend who’s just getting into Bible study. We’ll split the difference.
Eugene, Oregon
Sioux Falls, SD, please!!
Phoenix, Arizona. Would love to take my two beautiful daughters. Thank you!
I would like to attend the conference in Greensboro, NC, in April. Thank you for the opportunity and congratulations on your 15 years of service. Praising God with you! -Debbie
Would be thrilled to go to Bossier City!
Thanks y’all for your generosity!
I would LOVE to attend the Atlanta/Duluth GA conference! 🙂 I would love to surprise my mother with
the extra ticket. She has had a rough year with breast
cancer but the Lord has seen us through and she has
pursued Him in her pain. He has been so extremely faithful! I think it would be neat to get away with Him
on a fun girl’s weekend of worship and the Word.
Atlanta/Duluth, Ga
Sioux Falls, South Dakota is several hours from where my mom lives, but I would move heaven and earth to get her to this conference if that’s what it took!
I am so grateful to God and to Beth for her “Believing God” bible study. Grace Bible Church in College Station, TX, held this study last fall and I kept telling my mom about it each week until Christmas break when I drove up to Iowa for a visit. My mom has struggled with her faith for many years, but she finally chose to read “Believing God” (which I lent her from my Kindle).
Now, God sure knows how to get my mom good (He sure does have a sense of humor), cuz just as she got into the book I got a phone call saying the pages had started disappearing (the loan period was ending) and she sure would like to finish it!
So I bought her a kindle copy for herself. She not only finished it, but immediately bought herself a book about prayer life! In our conversations I can tell how her faith is strengthening and growing and I am just so thankful for that!! Praise be to God!
And this is why I would really like to take my mom to the SF, SD conference in August. God bless you all for the wonderful work you do at LPM!
Atlanta, GA (Duluth)
I have been living in Taipei, Taiwan for 10 years and have done all of Beth’s studies…but I’ve never been to a LPM conference!
I will be on a trip in North Carolina in April.
