We are living, quite literally, between the creations. Genesis 1-2 gives us the account of the first creation, while Revelation 21 tells us of a renewed, restored creation. In the midst of this, we often get stuck in the grey spaces between an idealized, sterile theology and real-life. We are continually needing to re-think, re-learn, and grow in this grey space where we live—between the creations. Join us each week as Laurien talks with various guests about theology, the Bible, and how we can best live during the between time.

Laurien grew up in an area just outside Houston, TX. She did her undergraduate work in Biblical Languages at Houston Baptist University where she minored in Philosophy. Laurien also has a Master’s in Theology with an emphasis in Biblical Studies from Fuller Theological Seminary. Laurien loves speaking, teaching, and engaging with others on the topics of theology, the Bible, how life intersects with our beliefs, what it means to have doubts, and a host of other things. She is passionate about Biblical Literacy—which is a fancy way of saying she loves helping people understand the Bible. As someone who has experienced her fair share of doubt when it comes to faith, Laurien is immensely empathetic with others who are questioning or trying to figure out what to do when a previously very black and white system now seems a lot more grey. Regardless of where you are on your faith journey, you are warmly welcome in this space. We hope you will join us in one or more of the various ways we have to connect! https://www.laurienhook.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-08-31 https://www.laurienhook.com/home daily 1.0 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e811afc8859da158d773df4/1585523398697-M8CAB2Z468OZ8OJD1PQZ/Laurien-Profile.jpg Home - YOU ARE WELCOME HERE https://www.laurienhook.com/speaking daily 0.75 2020-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e811afc8859da158d773df4/1608753700516-PWZZ1OXN7V1LX6AKQJ8D/Screen+Shot+2020-12-23+at+1.58.29+PM.png Speaking - Want Laurien to speak at your event?
