Lindsey Haffner '19 is a Youth Pastor in Redlands, California, where she gets to spend time exploring Jesus' character with the coolest students in the world. She graduated from Walla Walla University, where she spent her years frequenting Earthlight Books and the Colville Street Patisserie in between classes. She loves reading, writing, and baking cinnamon rolls, and can typically be found thrifting, humming, or getting too competitive at game night. 

Karl Haffner '85 teaches, preaches, writes, and frequents Fenway Park as much as possible. He is crazy about his wife Cherié, and his daughters Lindsey and Claire. He loves playing table games (Rewordable being his favorite), good stories, frequent flier miles, and ice cream (he even orders broccoli, a la mode). He marvels often at his ineptitude in golf, and can’t go a day without trying to solve Wordle.

He serves as Vice President for Student Experience and Enrollment Management at Loma Linda University Health. He has served as senior pastor of the Kettering SDA Church and the Walla Walla University Church, and as Mission Strategist for Kettering Health. He is an award-winning author of thirteen books such as No Experience Necessary, Are you more spiritual than a 5^th-grader?, Destiny: Who you are and what you’re here to do, and The Cure for Soul Fatigue. He has written hundreds of articles for a variety of journals.  

Karl travels whenever he can and preaches wherever he can. He is amazed daily by God’s acceptance and is committed to communicating that grace to others.

He’s got two BA degrees, two master’s degrees and a Ph.D.
