Hello!

I'm David, aka NakedPastor. I've been blogging about spirituality, deconstruction, and religious freedom since 2006.

I'm an ex-pastor turned full-time artist. You can check out my cartoons, paintings, and merch in the NakedPastor Shop.

need a friend?

Are you lonely? Do you need a friend? When I left the ministry a couple of years ago, we were lonely overnight. I know what loneliness feels like.

Something Lisa and I have discovered is that you have to start exactly where you are. You have to start with yourself. Befriend yourself first. Be a friend first. Then reach out. Friends are there waiting.

How do I know? Because everyone else is saying the same thing: "I need a friend."
