More About Laura Smith
Best-selling author and speaker Laura L. Smith is passionate about sharing with others that no matter what the world tells them about how they should perform, what they should look like, what they need to achieve, that they are wonderful and awe-inspiring in the eyes of their Creator, and therefore, they are beautiful. It took Smith years to discover her true reflection, to fully grasp that she was made in the image of the God, and therefore, she was worthy. Smith longs to help others discover what took her so long to see: their true reflection in Christ. To share this message, she tells the story over and over again that we are loved, beautiful, and treasured in the eyes of God—that this is your TRUE YOU. Smith tells the story of how God defines us in the novels and nonfiction works she's had published, in her weekly blog that goes to thousands of readers, and to the audiences she speaks to around the country. All these stories Smith tells point back to finding our true identity—the “true you”—in Christ.

Laura has formed her message to women based on God's beautiful truth that we are created in His image. When she speaks she constantly points her audience to Jesus, His goodness, and who we are in Him. Her books match this message. Laura's speaking is emotional, humorous, and empowering. And audience members leave changed.

Anna Holzworth - Director of Women’s Ministry
Book Laura for your next women’s ministry event! She successfully bridges gaps from teen to elderly women with dynamic teaching on who we are as women in Christ. She recently spoke at a women’s night at our church and I received only 5 star reviews from participants asking when we can book her again.

During my time as the Director of Youth Ministries at Central College, I brought Laura to speak twice. We hosted an event for women of all ages, middle school and up. Both times I was amazed at how she engaged with the entire age-range of our audience, and women of all ages submitted statements to publish in our church newsletter, talking about the value of what Laura was saying, and the way she challenged and encouraged middle school students, parents, and grandparents. One family brought three generations of women and each of them reached out after the event to tell me how much they loved Laura. I have since heard her speak at one other event, and her words again encouraged and challenged me, but most importantly, they reminded me of my true identity.I cannot say enough not only about the value of her content, but also about the way she speaks. Laura is so relatable to women of all ages and her authenticity makes everyone feel welcomed, wanted, and loved...by Laura and by Jesus.

I heard Laura speak to our teens at our church and she did a great job. Her teaching is biblical and relevant to girls and women of all ages. If you are looking for someone that connects well with her audience, understands current issues, and inspires people to love God, Laura is the speaker you need.

Beth Troy, Creativity + Innovation Professor
Laura Smith has spoken several times in my class on storytelling, and I've also worked with her in leading large-group Bible studies. She's everything you'd expect from a high-caliber speaker - articulate, intelligent, relatable, and relevant. She has an ability to personalize her messages for every listener, no matter the size of the audience. Her skilled use of metaphor and pointed questions makes even the most esoteric of material, accessible. Women are both moved when she speaks and ready to take action.

I have had the unique pleasure of speaking with Laura at an event as well as participate as an audience member twice. Laura’s compassion and joy radiate from the stage as she delivers inspiring and biblically rooted messages that target the roots of our identity in Christ as well as relevant everyday, practical applications. Highly recommended speaker.
