\"prayer<\/a><\/p>\n

This is really true.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen it locally<\/strong>. I notice that the people around me, from Christian church-goers to Christian non-church-goers to non-Christian non-church-goers to atheists to whatever\u2026 I\u2019ve found around me a rich tapestry of spiritual people who encourage me, teach me and support me, and I them.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen it online<\/strong>. I\u2019ve found gathered around nakedpastor a rich tapestry of spiritual people. It is you! It is profound.<\/p>\n

The other day I posted a message one of my readers sent me (with his typos):<\/p>\n

Preach God\u2019s Word not what you think or what you feel! How can a man say he\u2019s Christ -like and defend the sin of homosexuality. Btw, there\u2019s a fine line between homosexuality and pedophila, one is consenual and one is coerst. By reading your wall I can see your nothing more than salesman. Stop preaching, cuz you suck at it!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I received an incredible amount of responses that was very encouraging to me and what nakedpastor\u2019s role is. Here\u2019s a letter from one of my tumblr<\/a> readers, a young woman:<\/p>\n

Please don\u2019t listen to the hate mail. This might sound crazy, but you are the only pastor that I can listen to without cringing in fear of religion. I\u2019m not a Christian, I\u2019m not anything really, but what you say makes a lot of sense to me. Especially the stories that you put with your paintings like Separating from Toxic Relationships<\/a> and You too Can Preserve<\/a>. They mean so much to me. I haven\u2019t quite figured myself out yet, but I know that your beliefs ring true with a lot of folks here \u2013 including me. So don\u2019t listen to the hate, they just don\u2019t get it yet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And a young woman in China won last Freebie Friday\u2019s print, \u201cI Think I\u2019m Gay!\u201d<\/a>, who is very thankful for the role nakedpastor plays in her life. She says:<\/p>\n

your artwork have always inspired me on re-thinking what is faith, what is a christian, and what is church<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I will keep writing and drawing my thoughts and journey. So many seem to relate to it.<\/p>\n

I am not alone. Neither are you!<\/p>\n

I will make time available at reasonable rates if you need to talk:<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0email me<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
