Rev. Dr. Jamie Eaddy: How We All Get Free Series

Join us for Iliff’s Pulpit+ Exchange Series, an inspiring series of in-person and virtual gatherings where clergy, lay leaders, activists, scholars, ministers, journalists, and community organizers come together to wrestle with the most pressing questions of our time. Together, we’ll explore powerful stories of hope, healing, and action—each rooted in a shared vision of justice and liberation.

The world continues to be unpredictable. The expectation of a promised reward from the “study hard and work hard” ethos has been diminished. The availability of student loans to pursue a college degree and the ability to repay them is uncertain. The job market is unstable. Church membership continues to decline. Health care costs continue to rise. One may have fears of being picked up or their neighbors snatched off the street by sex traffickers or ICE. How can we cope? How can we live in such an environment? How do we grieve?

As a certified death doula, Dr. Eaddy helps individuals and families navigate the realities of physical death. She is coming again to help us engage the existential, environmental, social, and cultural deaths we are experiencing among the living.

Because change starts in community. This is a space to be challenged and inspired, while meeting others who share your passion for faith-rooted justice, equity, and collective liberation.

Come for one evening or all. Stay for the conversation. Leave with new energy, new insights, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Whether you’re a faith leader, community builder, or someone seeking meaningful connection, this is more than a lecture series—it’s an invitation to be part of a growing network of changemakers committed to building a more just and equitable world.
