Hey, I'm Lauren.
Writer & tenderfoot poet.

Writing through trauma, healing, and Christian de/reconstruction.

Look for my debut memoir coming in 2025 from Lake Drive Books.

i’m glad you’re here.

Post-evangelicals need voices. They need signposts. They need stories from people who, like them, are swimming somewhere between doubt and faith, despair and hope, deconstruction and whatever comes next.

That's why I write.

My Story

Meet Lauren.

A doubtful-yet-hopeful Jesus person. Writing through doubt and despair towards a better way.

Equal parts doubter and believer, Lauren Cibene explores the messy middle of faith, hope, and humanity through writing. Her work embraces life’s big questions with courage and candor, creating space for readers to find their own stories within hers.

By day, Lauren crafts copy that converts; by night, she pens essays on Substack, where thoughtful conversations about faith, creativity, and resilience unfold. Lauren lives in north Georgia with her husband, Tim, and their very spoiled labradoodle, Linus.
