Teacher & Speaker
“For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.”
Hebrews 4:2 (KJV)
Laura’s Speaking Ministry
Many of us know what the Bible says, but we are still living in bondage to fear, jealousy, anger, and more. We know what to do, but we can’t seem to do it. We know what the Bible promises, but we can’t seem to trust it enough to experience transformation.
Where’s the disconnect?
This is the question that gets me out of bed in the morning. The gap between the abundant life Christ came to give us and the disappointed one we too often exist in, needs to shrink. Helping women move from knowing about God’s love, goodness, and faithfulness to tasting, experiencing, and really living out of it, is something only the Spirit can do. However, as Christ helps me believe and experience Him more deeply, I’m grateful to share what I’m learning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Develop a Talk Around Our Topic?
Yes, I love working with teams as they develop their theme and topic for their event. I have taught on many different topics at outreach events, women’s retreats, Mother’s Day services, high school chapels, inner-city ministries, and more so let’s talk!
What is Your Teaching Style?
A typical session includes teaching on a passage of Scripture using thorough exegesis, relatable illustrations, and practical applications. This includes helping women learn more about how to pray, read their Bible, and be open to the Holy Spirit themselves. For outreach events I am sensitive to women who have been hurt by the church or disappointed and confused by faith and therefore teach the Bible with those caveats in mind. The comments I hear most often are appreciation for my vulnerability, transparency, and sense of humor.
What Is Your Speaking Fee and Can You Bring Your Book Table?
I do not have a set honorarium since every event varies with its number of attendees, location, sessions/days you’d like me to speak, etc. but we can chat more about that when we get connected.
My book and merchandise table is a great way for me to connect more deeply with the women, and both the attendees and church hosts have loved it! You can request more details on the Connect Page. Thank you!
