NakedPastor: Authentic Love Covers Everything - a podcast by Kim Honeycutt, MSW, LCSW, CCFC, LCAS

Larissa and I had the absolute honor of interviewing David Hayward, who you probably know as the NakedPastor! David is known for his expansive artwork that depicts the unfortunate experience of many people in parts of the Christian world, and he does it in a way that is incredibly healing. David lives in Canada with his wife and grown children. His experience in the church and in the world as the NakedPastor is intriguing and inspiring. And a side note, David will be here in Charlotte, NC April 2023 to speak on our icuTalks stage!

What we discuss:

• The dream that flipped David's lid
• The story behind The NakedPastor
• Being our most authentic selves
• David's theological journey
• Diverse communities make our lives fuller
• Feeling safe in connection
• Potluck community
• Healing happens when we are safely seen and heard
• Being heard without being hurt

David's Bio:

David Hayward was ordained to the ministry in 1987 and left in 2010. He's been running the NakedPastor blog since 2005, where he posts his provocative cartoons and articles. He launched an online community called The Lasting Supper, a place for people to change without being judged or instructed, and where they can learn to become spiritually independent. He's been cartooning, making art, writing, speaking, and coaching around his core passions: personal authentic freedom, the power to change our own lives, and the creative spirit to make our world a better place. He and his wife live in eastern Canada. They have three adult children.
