of Alabama, with a primary focus on religious awakenings and the Jesus
Movement of the 1960s and 1970s. She developed and instructed courses as a
graduate student(2006-2008) and adjunct instructor (2008-2010) entitled
"Hippies, God, and Rock:' "Sects, Drugs, and Rock," and "Religion in American
Culture." After completing her Masters in American Studies, Hays spent two
years working toward
a Masters in Divinity degree at Samford University's

Testament theology, Greek, Hebrew, and biblical exegesis and
interpretation.

so that she may continue her love for learning and teaching theology and
religious history.
