Support Beth Laury Initiatives

Beth is second-career minister, having set aside physical therapy and hospital quality management when the Lord called her full-time into His service. After seven years as the adult discipleship director/pastor at a metro Atlanta church, Beth now leads retreats and seminars and provides individual and group spiritual direction/formation for women.

John 14:15 says, if you love me, you will obey my commands. As a Christian for many years, Beth said she tried hard to obey Jesus to convey that she loved Him. She “worked hard to become what the Bible taught.” Then, Beth discovered that her approach to pleasing Jesus was wrong. She was focused on obeying, while Jesus was asking her to fall in love with Him. The Lord took Beth on a journey that freed her from striving and engaged her in a relationship with Jesus—her Creator, Savior, and Friend. She prayed to know Jesus more intimately, to love Him more intensely, and to follow Him more closely. During this time, everything Beth knew about God moved from her head to her heart. Obedience—no longer gutted out through self-effort—now flowed out of her love for Jesus. Beth now delights to make space for others to be with God…to slow down and listen to the Lord. She cares deeply for the seeking, struggling, broken, and suffering and is passionate about seeing others grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.

God used the Renovaré Institute of Spiritual Formation as a tool in Beth’s journey. In addition, she earned her Masters in Spiritual Formation and Direction from Richmont Graduate University; and she completed an 18-month training on giving Ignatian Spiritual Exercises from the Westmont College/Martin Institute in conjunction with the Jesuit Institute of South Africa. Beth is a Level 1 Certified Christian Trauma Care Provider. She and her husband have two adult daughters.
