Who is The Naked Pastor?

Despite the name, he’s not without clothes—just without pretenses. David Hayward uses “naked” as a metaphor for truth-telling, vulnerability, and peeling back the layers that keep us from being our authentic selves.

Once a pastor, now a celebrated artist and global voice for spiritual honesty, David creates cartoons and paintings that challenge traditions, spark reflection, and inspire meaningful dialogue. His work invites us to trade easy answers for deeper questions, reminding us that curiosity can be the most liberating spiritual practice of all.

Think of him as the Banksy of the faith world—spray-painting questions, hope, and courage onto the walls of conventional religion. He transforms uncertainty into community, and skepticism into connection.

Why You Should Be There

Whether you’re passionate about deconstructing old narratives, searching for spiritual adventure, or simply curious about new perspectives, David’s insights will linger long after the weekend is over. Expect laughter, fresh ideas, and plenty of moments that make you say, “I’ve never thought about it that way before.”

Homecoming Weekend promises to be more than an event—it’s a shared journey. Be part of it. We can’t wait to welcome you.
