Laura’s Personal Christian Testimony
During my early childhood, my parents’ divorce left my younger brother and me home alone much of the time. Our mother worked second shift, and our father only visited on weekends, whereas before the divorce he had been our primary caregiver, so I often felt abandoned. When my mother remarried, we moved to another state, because of her new husband’s work. He was different from our father and later he became verbally and physically abusive. I eventually rebelled and left home, driving back to my home state. I turned to the world for fulfillment and healing, but the more I pursued it, the emptier I felt.
What led me to Jesus was the chaos and destruction I had caused in my own life by the age of twenty-four, and I became overwhelmed by shame and humiliation. I desperately searched for answers through psychology and self-help books and among them was The Good News. While the psychology offered some insight, the emptiness inside remained. Then, one stormy night, I read The Good News, unaware it was a New Testament. As I read, something changed within me. That night, I gave my life to Jesus. In that moment, everything shifted, and I felt the undeniable presence of God. By His grace, the burdens I carried lifted from me.
Since then, I have faced personal challenges, but as I look back over my journey, I see how God has orchestrated everything, even from my earlier interest in psychology when I was searching for answers. I realize every test, every failure, and every victory has led me deeper into His grace and love. Jesus has not only healed my brokenness but has also equipped me to help others experience His transformative power. No matter how overwhelming the circumstances may seem, He is the ultimate source of peace, healing, and redemption.
My prayer is that anyone reading this will come to know that same truth: that Jesus Christ is the answer to every problem, the hope in every storm, and the steady anchor for our souls. He is waiting with open arms to bring restoration and purpose to our lives, just as He did for me.

“After years of Secular Counseling and a feeling that I could never overcome my life issues–a re-birth occurred when I met Laura Hart of ‘Feed My Sheep Christian Counseling’. Receiving the truth of God’s Word combined with an awesome learning of my God-Given temperament through the APS profile was the healing point in my life. I would recommend this route for anyone seeking the truth of God’s love and the healing that only He can bring.”

“With persistent prayer and Laura’s help, I was able to emerge from a devastating divorce and become a whole person again. When I was at the lowest point in my life, I immediately thought of Laura, because she had already proven herself to be a good friend in Christ. I continue to see her, because I know that I need guidance in this new chapter of my life. I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead for me. In fact, I feel more optimistic about my future now, than I have in many years.”

“I sometimes feel as though Laura has a direct line to God. Her insight and wisdom into the various situations I have discussed with her have proven to be very accurate. Her years of experience along with her Christian beliefs enable her to be direct, but gentle and loving. She may not always tell me what I want to hear, but it’s always what I need to hear. Laura truly cares. I’m thankful for her godly advice.”

“Dr. Laura is an exceptionally compassionate, competent, truthful, and honest counselor. She has helped us understand ourselves and one another better. We were both concerned that seeing a “Christian” counselor, we might hear more preaching than helping, but that didn’t happen; quite the contrary! Laura uses a Christian based philosophy to teach people how to enhance their lives and relationships. Our past counseling experiences, while positive, don’t compare to the work and progress we have been able to accomplish. Hope has been restored and we now envision a future of love and respect for the person that God made each of us to be.”
