Hello. My name is David Hayward, and I’m an addict. An ex drug addict once told me that he didn’t miss the drugs (the crime, anxiety, cost, hiding, hardware, etc.).

One of the things I found most frustrating as a pastor was realizing that I had the trump card. Even though I might encourage dialog, I always knew that no matter what direction the dialog went I could always pull the trump card and regain control. Some might argue that the trump card has been well earned from the pastor’s credentials, education, experience, and authority (invested by the church, the role of pastor, and by the people) and well paid...
