Laura discusses her journey from a passionate dreamer with a love for the arts to participating in an international ministry for faith-based filmmaking. She candidly shares the challenges of managing her many roles, the importance of prayer and balance, and her innovative projects like the Room 4 app and the John 3:16 Film School in Uganda.
