Dr. Amy Elizabeth Jacober  [Jah-coe-bur] (she/her/hers) is an outspoken advocate, author, and educator focusing on underserved populations. She has been teaching graduate, undergraduate, and professional students to consider context when looking at systems, sociology, and culture. She excels in connecting core beliefs with practical action, bridging the gap between theory and practice, and has taught and lectured in universities, colleges, non-profits in the U.S. and abroad for more than twenty years.

 

Dr. Jacober also has served as a professor, pastor, and board member for various ministries and non-profits for over two decades. For the past fifteen years, she has focused her writing on the intersection of theology and disability. This has given way to conversations of public theology, or the living out of one’s beliefs, in particular around accessibility and disability awareness and rights. She has served both on the National Advisory Board of Youth Life Capernaum* (Ministry for teens with impairments) and in a local YL Capernaum club.

 

In 2014, Dr. Jacober became a founding member and continues to serve as the Director of Education for the Sonoran Theological Group*, which provides accessible theological education for local churches, parachurches, and denominations. In 2017, Dr. Jacober planted Harbor Church* in central Phoenix, offering a place of worship for those who need a more welcoming place of worship—physically, spiritually, or emotionally.  

 

Dr. Jacober is a fifth-generation resident of Phoenix, Arizona. She lives with her husband, Dr. Cory Peacock, their three children, and an oversized dog. She loves hiking, cooking, and traveling, and one day she will finish sewing her son's Christmas stocking.

 

Her desire is to foster informed curiosity and to help amplify the voices of those not always heard.
