Laura Sharp-Waites

Laura Sharp-Waites is a licensed minister, soul care guide, and the voice behind At the Counter with the Baking Pastor.


Known for her warm, invitational approach, Laura creates space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with God in everyday life. Her work centers on gentle faith, emotional healing, and helping others find clarity and purpose when they feel stuck or overwhelmed.


Blending spiritual reflection with everyday rhythms, she draws from the imagery of the kitchen counter—a place of conversation, honesty, and quiet transformation. Through her podcast, writing, and soul care work, Laura reminds us that faith is found not just in big moments, but in small, sacred spaces.


She is the author of At the Counter and the Soul Pause Journal, and founder at Dare to Live Again.
