Laura L. Smith is a Christian author, speaker, and podcaster who tears down lies so we can live in Christ's truth

I write books to share the love of Jesus—that He is for us, not against us, that He will never leave us, that He is cheering for us, that He created us in His image, finds us magnificent, and loves us right here, right now.
