Laura L. Smith

Best-selling author and speaker Laura L. Smith leads women to tear down lies and replace them with the truth that we are loved and empowered by Jesus. She, her husband, and their four kids live in the college town of Oxford, OH.

 

Finding rest looks different for everyone, but you might find her running the wooded trails, strolling the brick streets, shopping at the Saturday morning farmer’s market, or going on a sunset walk with her family. She also teaches Bible study at her local church, enjoys music, a good book, almond milk mochas, dark chocolate, and travel.  Visit her website at: www.laurasmithauthor.com 


Laura has been learning about the value, need, and significance of rest, and rest’s connection to knowing who we are in Christ. We are excited to welcome Laura as our speaker for the weekend.
