Sophia, our courageous young woman, continues her journey towards her independence and wisdom. Here, she has made an agreement with all things wild. The mountain lion rests in his tree, and Sophia in hers. This isn’t quite “the lion will lie down with the lamb”, but it is close enough for now. For today only I’m giving 30% off of the print of this image. Go to the link below and type “agreement” in the coupon code box: Buy a... Read more
Religion generates a lot of business. But what if “God” isn’t who or what we thought? What if we are marketing our fantasies? I honestly think that many of us won’t “go there” because it would mean we’d have to radically change ourselves and our ways. It could mean a serious loss in revenue.

The fear of being loved. The fear of rejection. The fear of success. The fear of failure. The fear of commitment. The fear of loneliness. The fear of fame. The fear of obscurity. The fear of wealth. The fear of poverty. The fear of praise. The fear of ridicule. The fear of comfort. The fear of pain. The fear of being right. The fear of being wrong (see Seth Godin’s blog post today on this). The fear of death. The... Read more
I was tempted over and over again to don this role. I gave in many times. For many organizations, it is a mutual agreement between the leader and the people. Some leaders wear this 24/7 and think it is their God-given duty to do so. And people allow it. Of course, they’ve given in to the temptation to believe that people are transformed by strength and that the world should be ruled by power. Get my cartoon book that address... Read more

The brain’s primary impulse is the protection of the organism. It will rapidly cozy into any theological box that provides this sense of security. Almost nobody really changes his or her mind. Often our changes are simply minor adjustments, small rearrangements of the furniture within the same box we’ve always been in. Even our spiritual conversions may be a theological applique adorning a more fundamental disposition. We must always ask ourselves, “Do I believe this only because it is convenient?”... Read more
The church, like any other institution, possesses a subtle power. That power is to require conformity for membership. No institution exists without this power. They could not exist without it. It is a core value of all institutions, even out of necessity for their own survival. The church especially should be the first to acknowledge this. This is its prophetic calling. And judgement begins with itself. Only then can something be done about it. Get my cartoon book that address... Read more
I want to contribute substantially to the theological and philosophical, as well as ecclesiological conversation. I don’t have the time to study and write as I should (I have a full time job as an English teacher). My writing is not as substantial as it used to be. And my z-theory book lies dormant waiting for me to write it. I’m more focused now: I want to help people become and stay spiritually free and independent, even if they intentionally... Read more
Here’s an old cartoon from many years ago. It is not what we believe. It is what we do. Belief is like a great idea. It is nothing unless morphed into action. Buy prints of my cartoons. Someone recently told me, “My 2 kids were reading your book last night together on the couch. They were laughing their heads off and saying, ‘This is so true!‘” “Nakedpastor101: Cartoons by David Hayward“, from amazon.com, amazon.ca, amazon.de. Read more
