Get to Know Her
Meet Laura Lacey Johnson
Laura & Brad Johnson
About Me
My journey has led me from a career behind the microphone as a radio personality and television news reporter to meaningful work in missional leadership, teaching, and media relations at the collegiate level.
Through each chapter, God has woven together a love for words, storytelling, and the life-changing power of His truth.
Today, I count it a joy to help women recognize and respond to God's voice, deepen their prayer lives, and walk more closely with Him.
Laura Lacey Johnson is a gifted storyteller who blends deep theological teaching with practical application for everyday life. As a commissioned fellow of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview and contributor to Proverbs 31 Ministries, Laura delivers messages that are both biblically grounded and deeply personal, inspiring audiences to trust God's faithfulness — even in seasons when He seems silent.
Laura's writing has appeared in devotional books, including:
- ·Clear Mind, Peaceful Heart: 50 Devotions for Sleeping Well in a World Full of Worry (Thomas Nelson)
- ·Renew Your Mind: 40 Days to Quiet the Lies Inside Your Head (Proverbs 31 Ministries)
- ·Let in the Light: 50 Devotions to Confidently Know God Is Good and Guiding Your Steps (Thomas Nelson)
Beyond ministry, Laura serves as First Lady of College of the Ozarks, where she leads the Ozarks Women in Leadership initiative and invests in the next generation of female leaders. She is the wife and ministry partner of Dr. Brad Johnson, the College's 17th president.
Laura grew up along the Texas Gulf Coast and graduated from Howard Payne University with a degree in Speech Communication.
