Over the years, I’ve dabbled in everything from designing wedding invitations to social media consulting. In 2016, I co-founded Risen Motherhood, a ministry that brings gospel-hope to moms around the world, and today I’m the Executive Director of the nonprofit. 

Over the last several years, I've written a handful of award-winning and bestselling books and it's my joy to see them in people's hands and homes. I also share my writing through articles, essays, and poetry online. You can find me fairly regularly on Instagram and definitely through my newsletter, as I write and share about the "thin places"—where Heaven and earth collide and you catch glimpses of God at work. 

Above all, the gospel is everything to me and I want to see Jesus’ fame spread to all corners of the earth. So no matter what I do or my current interests, you can bet it’ll include that. 

Hello! I'm glad you're here.

I'm Laura. I write books and create resources about the intersection of faith and life to serve you, your family, and the church.

Right now, I'm probably thinking about: Great design, six new book and business ideas, and where I can get my next good cup of coffee. Also, throw pillows.
