David Haward is an artist and writer who supports LGBTQ+ people and groups, Black Indigenous People of Color, and women artists, creatives and journalists. He earned a degree in Biblical Studies and received his Masters in New Testament Studies. Being raised Christian, David believed that the Bible was inspired and infallible. However, as life continued, a gradual, painful and radical change in his beliefs began, and he lost a sense of purpose and destiny. Despite this, he served as a pastor for 30 years. During this time, the structure of his faith continued to crumble. He asked himself if he could believe in a compassionate God when billions of people were seemingly excluded from this love.
In 2010, he left the church to pursue art. He created NakedPastor, a platform that uses words and images to create conversations, push boundaries, challenge the status quo and deconstruct dogma. His art acts as a catalyst for critical thinking, questions the confines of religion, and expresses the struggles of spiritual refugees and independent thinkers. David believe everybody deserves to express doubts, and explore their spiritualty, that language seems to divide us, and that we are all deeply connected.
