We welcome Dr. Haley Feuerbacher again this Sunday while Pastor John is away. He’ll return to the office on July 5. Haley is a storyteller, creator, adventurer, facilitator, spiritual activist, and theologian. She attended Vanderbilt Divinity School and Brite Divinity School for her Master’s in Theological Studies and completed her Ph.D. at Southern Methodist University in Religion and Culture and Women’s and Gender Studies. A recent transplant to California from Texas, Haley was a faculty member at SMU and The Seattle School for Theology & Psychology and served for several years as a youth minister and then as campus minister for a United Methodist Reconciling college ministry. Passionate about the power of joy and compassion for personal and systemic transformation, Haley is currently the founder and executive director of the Center for Courageous Compassion, which is creating a movement of fierce survivor-centeredness and transformation of trauma in which our helpers, caregivers, activists, leaders, and ministers engage in courageously compassionate work, life, and being that yields sustainable joy and resists systems and patterns that lead to vicarious trauma, burnout, and compassion fatigue. Haley is also a running coach, yoga facilitator, surfing and outdoor enthusiast, partner to SB and mother to son Christian.
Message “Good + Grief: Grieve to Heal” Dr. Haley Feuerbacher
On Sunday, June 26 Dr. Haley Feuerbacher will begin a two-part sermon series “Good + Grief”. It’s on a topic that she talks about a lot at CCC (Center for Courageous Compassion) that she believes is apropos for these times: grief. The title will be “Good + Grief: Grieve to Heal” and it draws about Matthew 14:13-25. This sermon will be focused on the value of grieving and the need to empower and trust others in our community to fill in our gaps so we can pause and take those sacred moments to grieve.
