Hi there! I serve people who are craving fresh insights into how God's truth and grace intersect with their real, day-to-day lives. I show them how to get more meaning from the Bible while making the journey fun and relevant.  I've spent over 20 years passionately equipping others to know God through the study of His Word. Whether through serving on a large church staff as Director of Discipleship Ministries, founding and managing Making It Real Ministries, or through publishing Bible studies, it has been my privilege to lead people on an exciting, challenging, and personal spiritual journey.  I still remember sauntering into my first Bible study with a chip on my shoulder the size of Mount Rushmore and a skepticism exceeded only by my cynicism. So whether you're a skeptical seeker of truth, a brand-new believer, or a well-versed student of the Scripture, you'll find in me an enthusiastic companion and guide.  Visit my blog at lauranaiser.com or engage with me on Facebook/MakingItRealMinistries or Twitter.
