This podcast episode is an interview with @nakedpastor, David Hayward, former pastor turned cartoonist who's been "drawing graffiti on the walls of religion since 2005." Because of Tabitha's own journey of becoming free from spiritual abuse in the Christian church, she and David had so much to talk about. Some of the topics include "miracles", escaping cult-like religious backgrounds, astrology and the idea of "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." Tabitha's most heartwarming moment was when David said she reminded him of Sophia from his book The Liberation of Sophia, and Tabitha reads an excerpt in the introduction to give everyone a taste.
