• David has a B.A. in Bible and Theology, a Masters in Theological Studies in New Testament, and a Diploma of Ministry. He was ordained to the ministry and served local churches… preaching and teaching and providing pastoral care for about 30 years. He studied the Bible inside and out and loves to help people.

• He left the ministry in 2010. People suggest he's now an “online pastor”… a pastor to the pastor-less. He does love helping people find their own way on their own spiritual growth journeys. This means he is an LGBTQ ally, a feminist, and super progressive in his theology.

• He's been the NakedPastor since 2005, and like any graffiti artist, he uses his images and words to challenge the status quo of religion and to offer hope for those who struggle and suffer under it.

• He believes in spiritual independence and helps people empower themselves to achieve it. The healthiest people are independent, autonomous, self-ruling, and independent people form healthy interdependent relationships rather than codependent ones. Community is important to him, but it requires healthy individuals to form. His online community The Lasting Supper is one. You’re invited!

• He makes his art and words available all over the Internet. His cartoons, Sophia drawings, images of Christ, books, The Lasting Supper, speaking and coaching are all a part of his toolkit for helping others.
