David Hayward - The Naked Pastor
You may better know David Hayward as the Naked Pastor.  By producing daily cartoons that hit at the heart of the Christian sub-culture, David is a leading voice for a new generation of Christians who love Jesus outside of the church.  From running his blog at www.nakedpastor.com (http://www.nakedpastor.com) to hosting an online community (www.thelastingsupper.com (http://www.thelastingsupper.com)), David continues to push the Christian community in the direction of truth, openness, and most importantly, freedom.  For him, being naked, with nothing to hide, is a way of life that too few Christians lead.

In this podcast, we ask David questions about his experience as a pastor, why he ended up leaving the church, and what he has learned since starting cartooning.  He is as insightful and wise as he is generous and gentle.  It was our pleasure to have him on the show and we hope you enjoy it!
