Activists and Prophets
Naked Pastor

3d ago
ACTIVISTS AND PROPHETS I want to talk about activism—what the Bible would call the prophetic. I believe the biblical prophets were, at their core, activists. I see them as one and the same. I grew up in a Christian culture that believed in prophecy as the ability to foresee the future, inspired by the biblical prophets. But when I began seriously studying the Bible and theology, I learned that prophetic ministry had two aspects: fore-telling and forth-telling. The biblical prophets were mostly known for speaking truth to power, uttering warnings and promises, and facing persecution because of ..read more

How to Survive a Challenging Era
Naked Pastor

When times get tough, we often need a reminder of how to stay grounded. Life can feel overwhelming, and in those moments, it’s easy to forget how a few simple steps can help us regain our balance. That’s why I created my 10-step guide to surviving a challenging era. To be honest, this list is something I composed for myself. I'm feeling the temptation to fall into anxiety, obsession, and despair. Not only is that not good for me, but it isn’t good for the people in my life, locally and virtually. I want to help and serve.  I wrote it as an urgent reminder to myself — one I hope can also o ..read more

6 Of The Best Political Trump Cartoons

My Best Political Trump Cartoons I'm often told that I shouldn't do political cartoons and just stick to spirituality. But I learned a long time ago that true spirituality is love, and that love is political. That is, love must manifest itself in policy. So when I think spirituality has the opportunity to challenge the status quo or injustice, then it must take it. And cartoons are an effective way to do that. Trump and The Art Of The Deal I drew this Trump cartoon because I believe that too many people are tricked into following certain people even when it is against their own ..read more

x Trump and The Art Of The Deal I drew this cartoon because I believe that too many people are tricked into following certain people even when it is against their own interests.   The Church Gives Up Her Head As John the Baptist's head was given up to Herod, so I think the Church is in danger of giving up its head to a powerful leader. Dream or Nightmare MLK had a dream that still isn't realized. Some politicians have a vision that is nightmarish in scope but that is in danger of manifesting in real life and evoke the destruction of the earth and any people on it who resist.

Hate Does Hurt

I call out bullshit in Christianity, the Church, its Theology, and its leaders. I’m also affirming and inclusive (as seen in my cartoons). I believe we all belong. Of course, the problem is that those who don’t think everyone belongs are the ones who exclude themselves from the human community of Oneness. Love is my message. Art is my language. Everyone knows that about me by now. But wow do I get hate for it. And sometimes I get tired.  I appreciated Rushdie’s admission of his hurt. Not just the physical pain of the attack, but the emotional hurt he suffered when his Satanic Verses ca ..read more

Yes, It’s Okay to Google “Leaving my Religion”
Naked Pastor
by David Hayward

You may have stumbled on this blog simply by searching the phrase “leaving my religion” or “leaving the church”. Just asking that question in your head took a lot of courage. I know, because I have been there (and I was a Pastor with my entire life built around the church). (Click on image or HERE for a digital download.) When it comes to asking questions about leaving your religion , it’s a snowball effect. Questions multiply pretty quickly. Once you start a 100% honest internal dialogue, the conversation rolls and the questions get bigger and more interesting. It’s not easy but, in the end ..read more

10 Signs Your God is a Narcissist (Disclaimer: I am not a psychologist. But I know enough and have experienced enough about narcissism to be able to have an opinion or two on it. So here goes.) This is kinda tongue-in-cheek. But also kinda true. (Get a digital download of this cartoon by clicking on the image, or HERE.) Is your god a narcissist? Here are ten questions you can ask yourself. Frankly, if you can answer even one in the affirmative, there’s a chance he’s a narcissist. If you can answer more than half in the affirmative, then I’d say yes he is. If you can answer all ten in the affi ..read more
