236: Cartoons, Clergy & Questioning

I had such a rich conversation with the one and only Naked Pastor, David Hayward (@nakedpastor) about his incredible journey of deconstruction. 

David is a former Presbyterian minister and a brilliant cartoonist. He has a B.A. in Bible and Theology, a Masters in Theological Studies in New Testament, and a Diploma of Ministry. He was ordained to the ministry and served local churches… preaching and teaching and providing pastoral care for about 30 years. 

In 2009, David had a profound "mystical moment" where he saw the interconnectedness and oneness of all people. This clashed with the exclusivity and hierarchy baked into religious institutions, ultimately leading him to leave church leadership. His book is titled, “QUESTIONS ARE THE ANSWER.”

David's provides a unique, valuable space for spiritual independence and deconstruction. I'm grateful our paths crossed!

• The TRAUMA & DARKNESS that can follow leaving your faith community 

• Deconstruction isn't a new "MOVEMENT but simply questioning beliefs OPENLY

• How his cartoons use HUMOR to expose absurdities in religious DOGMA
