Hi I’m Laurie Short.
A few of you might remember me from my maiden name (Polich) and the books I wrote under that name for youth workers and kids. But in the last several years, a few things have changed:
1. I moved to Santa Barbara, and currently work on the teaching team at OceanHills Covenant Church: http://www.oceanhills.org/
2. I got married and became a mom at the same time (excerpt of The Big Day on this page!)
then now
3. I published a book 3 years ago called Finding Faith in the Dark, which has an 8 week video study that accompanies it; and recently released a NEW BOOK with a video study called When Changing Nothing Changes Everything (promo HERE)
My first book wrestled with where God is in dark times; When Changing Nothing Changes Everything shows how broadening your vision reveals the bigger purpose of your life. In it, I introduce four lenses that will expand the way you see.
I am passionate about encouraging people in their faith through my speaking, and would love to come to your church or conference to speak. With my new book, I am creating messages around the theme of “Developing Eyes of Faith,” and I am very excited about helping people see their lives differently. You can find info about my speaking and books on the other pages of my website, so take a look around and make yourself at home. I would love you to subscribe to my blog (I post every 2-3 weeks)… or email me, or my assistant Melissa, at info@laurieshort.com if you want to inquire about having me come and speak.
