the apocalyptic turkey

Last updated on: November 5, 2013 at 9:06 am By David Hayward

Ya, go ahead and laugh. But Thanksgiving’s coming and this turkey’s seen the future. The other turkeys know the end is coming one day but don’t see the point in losing your head or getting your feathers in a knot over it. (*** A pitch: we have lots of laughs in our online community. Sure, we can be serious, but we can also be seriously fun!) My online store! Read more

Muslims, Christians and Flying Horses

Last updated on: November 4, 2013 at 8:49 am By David Hayward

After I left the ministry I taught English as a second language to international university students. Some of them were Muslims from the Middle East. Some of them would share some of their fantastic beliefs with me, and all the while I would remember that the Christian tradition I grew up in has its own fantastic beliefs. It was then, in my daily contact with a diversity of people from a diversity of beliefs, that I concluded we all experience... Read more

10 Reasons Why Leaving the Ministry is Difficult for Pastors

Last updated on: November 2, 2013 at 5:43 am By David Hayward

(*** Just a gentle reminder that all my art is 40% OFF this weekend ONLY. Just use the coupon code “halloween” when you’re about to complete your purchase. SHOP HERE NOW!) I wrote the original post of this shortly after I left the ministry in 2010. It still applies. I frequently talk with pastors, and the struggle they endure is unbelievable.

Why Mark Driscoll Could Never Be One of the Wise Men

Last updated on: November 1, 2013 at 8:47 am By David Hayward

I can’t make this stuff up. Mark Driscoll has said, “I cannot worship a guy I can beat up.” Recently he asks in a post, Is God a Pacifist?, and the answer is, well, in a nutshell, no! Jesus is not a pansy or a pacifist. So don’t mess with him. Merritt’s post Mark Driscoll’s Pansy Post Outrages Christian Pacifists is a good survey of the bloody battlefield. I guess I have to go back and read the gospels again. I... Read more

Gays and Biblical Inspiration

Last updated on: October 30, 2013 at 8:42 am By David Hayward

Does David Hayward believe in biblical inspiration? Does he believe the bible? Does he even believe in the trinity? Does he believe in God? Does he believe being gay’s okay? This doesn’t matter to the argument of this cartoon. I feel this is one of my cutest and one of my most poignant and maybe, hopefully, powerful. I love getting inside ideas and challenging them on their own terms. Do you want to hang out with wise and loving people... Read more

anyone can use the bible for anything

Last updated on: October 29, 2013 at 9:32 am By David Hayward

The bible as sanction. It can be used to support(sanction) our ideas, words and actions. It can be used to oppose(sanction) our ideas, words and actions. It is our hermeneutic that rules. (Have you heard of our online community The Lasting Supper? We talk about this kind of stuff in a non-confrontational environment.) Read more

how to shape the dreams of our girls

Last updated on: October 28, 2013 at 8:24 am By David Hayward

Most people aren’t even aware that they are limiting the dreams of girls. Most aren’t conscious of the fact that they are shaping the dreams of their daughters and female students into a sexist ideal or a misogynist fantasy. Not only do men do this, but women too. This can be corrected. I was raised in a sexist culture. I need constant instruction to overcome my innate assumptions that are drilled into me by our misogynist society. I’m glad to... Read more

zombies, the walking dead, and disciples

Last updated on: October 27, 2013 at 7:13 am By David Hayward

Zombies are all the same. The walking dead are all alike. Here Jesus sends out the disciples to convert everyone into more of them! The world around us applies incredible pressure to conform. To be the same as everyone else. Sure you can have your unique traits, but only if they don’t matter. The masses. The horde. One of the things I appreciate about our online community is the amazing diversity of people there. We’ve all been like zombies some... Read more
