Hi there! My name is Laura Jean. I am the founder of The BLVED Collective and lover of truth. I love popcorn, capsule wardrobes, learning, and spending quality time with the people I love.
I have been commissioned with a great mission to form the young people of the Church in the truth. Though this mission is daunting at times, I am so glad it is mine. Ministering to young people, walking with them through this life, and preparing them for marriage is where I thrive and my heart is full.
I have studied Theology and Psychology for a number of years and have a Pontifical Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Theology. I have been ministering to young women for over 6 years now and love it more and more every day.
Meet Laura Jean
John Paul II is one of my biggest inspirations especially when it comes to forming young people. His writings have influenced my own life and I continue to learn from his wisdom and witness daily. He had a heart for young people in the Church, as do I. In his example I have dedicated my life to minister to young people in the Church. Specifically to minister to them in the marriage formation space.
I truly believe that uncovering the beauty and preparing for marriage well will change the culture for the better. Marriage and the family are under attack and very misunderstood. We must reclaim a proper understanding of marriage and the family and form ourselves to best be able to live out our vocation.

I absolutely love the gap that this program fills--women who are seeking marriage and not engaged yet can often be forgotten or dismissed with a trite "You'll know when you meet the right one", or "All in God's time". We need to be reminded and empowered that there ARE things we can do in this state in life to move towards our goals.

I feel like first off, if you are discerning Marriage seriously, this is the course for you. However, I would even recommend it to anyone who is discerning in general ie not sure if called to Married life or Religious Life. I have never had a theology of the body course nor have received any training on NFP. I felt like it changed my understanding of how I view myself but also others around me. I feel like the first three weeks were fundamental in anyone's discernment journey in understanding the beauty of the gift of the human body from God, its abilities and it's functions. Also healing too, realizing how many misconceptions I had.
