Are you holding yourself back? I drew this cartoon If You Think You're Trapped You Are to illustrate the profound realization I had one day that the only thing entrapping me was my own fear of the consequences of my liberation. My fear was my cage. Can you relate to this?2yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/howtonotgiveafuck
This is one of the truest, and therefore one of the saddest, cartoons I've ever drawn.1yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor
We're celebrating Pride Month for all of June. Every day I'll post, at some point during the day, a pride image. To start, I'm sharing my very first Pride cartoon that I ever drew that caught a lot of attention. It's still awesome. ❤️2yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor

I drew this for 10-year-old Kai at the request of her mom Kimberly. Kai lives in Texas. People shouldn't be terrified for their lives just for being WHO THEY ARE. Love must win! #transrightsarehumanrights2yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor

It's Okay to Question the History You Were Taught! A sign of immaturity is gullibly believing everything you're told. So, a sign of maturity is the ability to question everything you're told, even the authorized version.3yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor

Sometimes I draw a cartoon that resonates far more with people than I expected. This is one of them. Just goes to show there are many of us who've had traumatic experiences with the Church and our departure from it.3yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor
Love is for all 🧡Wow, did I ever have fun drawing this cartoon. It makes me happy. I hope it makes you happy too.3yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor
I don't only draw cartoons, sometimes I draw in Charcoal and sometimes I paint in watercolors. This is one of my personal favorite watercolors. For me, it resonates with mood and meaning.3yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor
Do you ever get unwanted attention? This cartoon is about disability. Imagine being so focused on disability that you end up missing the human being in the wheelchair. Ask people what they want. What they need. How they want to be treated. No more unwanted attention.5mo ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor
Labels are useful for others to know your contents. But they're just words. You're always changing. One label is not your full story.3yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/exchristian

For many of us, being ghosted by a community we were so invested in and loved is no laughing matter. It does hurt. Wow, do I have some stories! It's happened many times by people I genuinely thought were lifelong friends. Have you been ghosted?2mo ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor

In my experience this is often and generally true: Prayer is gossip. I have confessed or divulged things in prayer about myself that I shouldn't have. I learned later.1yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor
Honesty is always best. When I was a pastor, I always encouraged people to be honest... with themselves, with others, with their God. Because it only makes sense theologically that your God would not be surprised by anything. So put it out there. Come on! Say it!3yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor
I drew this Black Lives Matter cartoon when we had a march here where I live. We marched AND we wore masks. Because we care about people. Yes, I drew Jesus as a person of color.

When preachers are predators. When I first started cartooning and writing about abuse in the church years ago, I often got responses like, “This is rare! Why don’t you focus on the positive things the church is doing?” It’s not rare it's prevalent. (continued in comments)3yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor
You may look fine on the outside, but on the inside you are hurt, in pain and suffering. You’ve been spiritually abused. And even though you look okay, I believe your story.1yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor

This chaos called deconstruction that you’re experiencing is the natural progression of your spiritual growth. You’re not crazy. You’re not backsliding. You’re not being deceived. You’re growing!3yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor
Haha I do love this cartoon. Many tried to tell me that sex isn’t about fun and that too much fun threatened your spiritual health. I’m here to testify otherwise. Enjoy!2yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor
So many people fail to see why there should be a separation of the Church and State. They insist upon the inclusion of the church in governance when most societies are multicultural and diverse. Secular society should be built upon inclusion and tolerance. It's about diversity!1yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor
This is all it takes: You’re fine. You’re not broken. You don’t need fixing. And suddenly you’re whole only because you recognize that you already are and always have been.2yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor

He never argued or debated. He responded to stupid or entrapping questions with smart or unanswerable ones. He walked away from haters and abusers. He confronted abusers and intervened to rescue their victims. He didn’t support toxic relationships. So let’s do the same. Block hate.3yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor
Prevailing - One of my personal favorites I'm very proud of. I wanted to depict two kinds of perseverance: one is when we bend with the wind, the other is when we lean into it. This is a reminder to stand strong.2yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/Watercolor

I drew Sophia Angel during a time in my life when I was realizing my freedom and also my magnificence, and because of my religious background, I was feeling embarrassed. Your magnificence is something to be believed, owned, embraced, and displayed for others to see. Is this something you've felt?🧡3yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor

Abusers and bullies and the violent will always continue and escalate their behavior unless they're called on it and pay consequences for their actions. People who've been in relationship with such people know this. Painfully.3yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor
Worship As Separation Cartoon. An important part of theology is creation- the pouring out from the center creating a separated diversity of multitudes. But another part is reconciliation- the return to the center of all things. Worship implies separation, not union3yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor
Stupid Explanations The more severe your suffering, the more stupid are the explanations people give for it. I bet you can offer some examples of ones you've heard.

I learned long ago that when I feel trapped, it's usually because I'm afraid of acting free. I fear the consequences of living free. My question to you at the beginning of 2021 is, How are you going to overcome your fear and live freer this year?3yr ⋅ nakedpastor ⋅ r/NakedPastor
