The only separation is in our minds. All is one. Fluid like a river. Impermanent. Astoundingly beautiful. And we are caught up in that beauty. I invite you to davidhayward.ca where we learn how to swim together with joy and love in this river! Tomorrow night we are having a webinar. I hope you can join us. Read more
Ya! Who said anything about needing help? I just love this picture of Jesus and a gay man on a love-seat. So… do you need help? Or is it others saying that you do? Read more
Stephanie from Thomas Nelson Publishers contacted me yesterday to tell me they saw my cartoon yesterday and liked it. So she offered to let me give away 3 of Rachel’s books. How cool is that? I give away all kinds of books from across the theological spectrum that contribute to the questions. All you have to do to enter the draw is: Make a comment on this post! (even just “Hi!”) Sign up for my daily newsletter. (You’ll receive my free... Read more
Rachel Held Evans has written a book A Year of Biblical Womanhood. To visit her site, CLICK HERE. Her facebook fanpage is HERE. I haven’t read it yet, but I will. I was hoping she’d offer to give me a copy to give away (hint hint wink wink nod nod). So this is my idea for a book, A Year of Biblical Manhood. I just need to find several women who will let me use them for a year. Read more

Some even said, “You’re perfect!” You see… I was a little embarrassed writing that first paragraph. And my first... Read more
I know some people don’t understand this. They’ve had a positive church experience and can’t imagine this. But I talk with so many people every day who know what this cartoon means. They are either so terrified of the church or so absolutely turned off of it that it has become a nightmare. If this is you, join us over at davidhayward.ca and meet others like you who are not just survivors but thrivers. Read more
I love Sophia. She is me, and she has helped me to love myself. I’m a black sheep in many ways. I know what it is to be the peculiar, different one, the one that doesn’t quite fit in, the one who decides that he must go his own way.
