Episode 4

The Naked Pastor

David is a pastor turned artist painting, drawing, and thinking about what it takes to be free to be you. The idea behind the name, NakedPastor, is to seek to tell the naked truth - no matter how vulnerable it feels. David used to be a pastor but has been creating art and working towards freedom with this community for over 10 years now.

Committed to truth, authenticity, and understanding, David supports LGBTQ+ people and groups, BIPOC and women artists, creatives, journalists (and more), and encourages others to do the same. With a Masters in Theological Studies, as well as Diplomas in Religious Studies and Ministry, and University Teaching, He is no stranger to belief systems.

This is his story.
