Say Good: An Evening with Ashlee Eiland (Zoom)

Knowing when to speak truth to those we know and to communities can be difficult. Speaking up can feel intimidating. How do we trust ourselves to know when to say something and how to say it? Join us for a virtual evening with Ashee Eiland, author of Say Good: Speaking Across Hot Topics, Complex Relationships, and Tense Situations. She will teach us about a four-part discernment process that includes having passion, accountability, influence and relationship. The session via Zoom will include group discussion as well as time for questions for Ashlee. It will be facilitated by Jean Pagliaro. Ashlee Eiland is a thought leader, writer and Bible teacher who exists to join in God's redemptive work here on Earth. Jean Pagliaro is the director of the FSC. She has a bachelor's degree in social work and a Master of Divinity degree. Her ministry experiences and focuses include mental health crisis response, hospital chaplaincy, grief care and programming that offers support to families. She serves on the support team for Resilient and Trauma Informed Communities, a local initiative to create a community with shared understanding and care for those who have experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and trauma.
