The Slow Train is back, and with it comes David Hayward, a.k.a. the Naked Pastor. David is a former pastor who has since become an artist, creating amazing paintings and cartoons that challenge aspects of religious environments in ways that provoke conversations - in fact he's recently released a collection of cartoons called Flip it Like This which you can check out right now and put it on your coffee table if you want to spark some conversations of your own. He's also an author, having written 10 books including one of my favourites, Til Doubt Do Us Part, about changing beliefs and their impact within marriage.
David and I chat about his own deconstruction, and the multiple facets that are contained within deconstruction - not just theologically, but also ecclesiologically, as people often find themselves needing to deconstruct what church was to them and find their way outside of those community spaces. We also talk about what healthy spiritual growth is, not letting others impose their agendas on our deconstruction, and the importance of enjoying the current moment you find yourself in along your journey.
