slugfest between Bieber and Leonard Cohen fans

Last updated on: April 23, 2013 at 5:14 pm By David Hayward

Bieber fans are young on average. Leonard Cohen fans are not. So when 78 year old Leonard Cohen won Canada’s Juno Award for Artist of the Year Sunday night, it came as quite a shock to Bieber fans. Reading the tweets and posts and updates are rather hilarious. Like… “I don’t even know who is Leonard Cohen! Whatsoever! I’m really surprised. This doesn’t make sense at all!” or, “Can’t believe Justin didn’t win Artist of the Year! Leonard Cohen won.... Read more

the urgency of breaking free

Last updated on: April 23, 2013 at 7:17 am By David Hayward

You must break free! I say “break” because any freedom worth having means breaking away from slavery and bondage. It means leaving something behind, breaking away from it. Like this caterpillar and butterfly realize, true transformation is traumatic. But it is urgently necessary. I have friends who run a butterfly house. I’ve watched them receive the chrysalides from exotic lands and prepare them so the butterflies can emerge from the cocoon safely and populate the house with their beauty. It... Read more

does your God need a bigger bowl?

Last updated on: April 22, 2013 at 5:03 pm By David Hayward

Here’s another one of my older devotional cartoons. So I’m going to speak here from a devotional Christian perspective. There are all kinds of intricate theologies created to explain why we feel distant from God. As a pastor, I’ve observed that this is one of the most prevalent problems Christians face. If they are willing. Some say God withdraws to discipline us. Or to test us. Or to punish us. Or it’s just a mystery. I want to make a... Read more

whatever you do smile

Last updated on: April 22, 2013 at 7:35 am By David Hayward

You have the right to feel all your emotions. All! You don’t need to schedule the darker ones out of your Sunday mornings. Find a community where you can be yourself. All of yourself! There are communities out there that embrace the totality of the human being. Sure. Let’s be happy! But don’t require me to be happy all the time. Please. If he was a man of sorrows acquainted with grief, then so can I. And so can you.... Read more

when the bible interferes with the spirit of Jesus

Last updated on: April 21, 2013 at 6:08 pm By David Hayward

You know you’re in trouble when… the bible actually interferes with the spirit of Jesus… you get annoyed when what’s real interferes with your devotion… you’ve lost sight of what Jesus is and means… you become rudely focused on your spirituality and miss the point. Read more

holy smokes it’s 4/20

Last updated on: April 20, 2013 at 2:27 pm By David Hayward

This is a big day for many around the world, but mostly in North America, and especially in Canada… where I live. You can read a little bit about it here. Thousands of Canadians will gather today on Parliament Hill in our capital city of Ottawa and many others will gather in cities across North America to commemorate the event known as 4/20, the annual rally for the legalization of marijuana. This cartoon highlights that event. Excuse the pun. Read more

coming out as a way of life

Last updated on: April 20, 2013 at 7:47 am By David Hayward

This is just this baby’s first coming out. There will be a lot more to come. If we have enough courage, we will all come out many, many times. If we have enough conviction to be true, we will come out often. I’m sure many of you have already come out in one way or another more than once. Maybe you came out as an atheist. Or as a believer. Or as a socialist. Or as a Republican. Or as... Read more

the Lasting Supper trailer

Last updated on: April 19, 2013 at 7:03 pm By David Hayward

Today I was working at the office of my friend Jeff Roach of Sociallogical and his wife Kelly Lawson. Great peoples! Kelly created this movie style trailer for me. I could hear her giggling as she was creating it. I love it! It’s also a bit of a tongue-in-cheek pitch for The Lasting Supper that I’m passionate about and care about deeply because it is really helping people explore and exercise their spiritual freedom and independence with others of like...

is God a great big bully?

Last updated on: April 19, 2013 at 10:09 am By David Hayward

Here are some characteristics of a bully: Lacks empathy for others. Needs to control others. Gets angry quickly. Constantly reminds others of their weaknesses. Picks on those who don’t comply to his expectations. Makes others afraid through threats. Uses physical aggression to intimidate and control. Defies any who would share or correct his power. We’ve probably all been bullied. It is a popular sport in school. When our kids encountered bullying, we would ask these questions: Does he scare you?... Read more
